Are you feeling a deep inner shift? In this episode, Amanda bravely unpacks her journey of breaking free from the "productivity equals worth" mindset, sharing raw insights into the discomfort and liberation of this transformation.
From the dramatic backdrop of recent Texas floods and Earth's energetic shifts to her personal quest for authentic presence, Amanda reveals how embracing slowness, solitude, and creative rest can lead to profound self-discovery. Learn to trust your intuitive responses, honor your inner wisdom, and find clarity amidst life's inherent uncertainties.
Discover how this "unraveling" might actually be a sacred part of your spiritual evolution, offering a new kind of power you've never been taught to trust. We'll explore:
- Why feelings of being uninspired or hollow could be signs of a deeper transformation.
- How rest and a lack of clarity can be powerful tools for growth.
- Why the "blank canvas" of unknowing is actually a fertile space for recalibration.
- The process of unweaving old karmic contracts to realize your true value lies in your presence, not just your performance.
- How to metabolize the shift from external effort to new internal coherence, even if it feels uncomfortable.
- The importance of embracing sacred quiet and trusting that your unique emergence doesn't need constant explanation.
Don't miss Amanda's free virtual Full Moon Ceremony on July 10th (Capricorn Full Moon!) to help you ground and recalibrate your energy amidst these powerful shifts. Your outer identity might be catching up to your inner tectonic shifts, and that's perfectly normal.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda riger Green. Welcome to Soul's Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. Wow, I feel like
the energy is heavy and somber. As many of you know,
I live in Wimberley, Texas. I live in the hill
country in Texas, and the horrific floods that occurred over
(00:31):
Fourth of July weekend on the fourth of July are
very close in proximity to where we live. And while
we were fine and okay, a lot of people we
know personally have been very tragically impacted. And then there
are the news reports that we've all seen, and of
(00:53):
course I would be remiss not to talk about the
Sweet Girls Camp, Camp Mystic and and just the tragedy
and atrocity in a moment, in an instant, I have
a friend, a woman that I am close to, who's
really been working to get her life together, and you know,
it's been messy and hard, but she's been doing it
(01:14):
and making steps. And I just will share this personal story.
But she had bought a camper trailer and she's working
on a ranch out in Kerrville, Texas, which was impacted,
just like Hunt, Texas. That's where the flooding was on
the Guadaloupe River and she had just bought her camper
(01:34):
and moved it out there started her new job. Spent
the first night in the camper and she was going
to park it on her cousin's property. She has a
cousin who has property out there. But the first night
she got there, she went to a campground for these
travel trailers right on the Guadaloup River and woke up
at four point thirty in the morning to rising waters,
(01:56):
people screaming, and she essentially got out of that with
her cat and helped a handful of people while not
just people were being impacted and rushing to get out,
but there was live stock, cows and cattle being trapped, horses.
There's lots of livestock impacted in this too, apart from
(02:17):
the human atrocities and tragedies. But she got out and
got in her car, and her camper as she's driving
being off, was swept away. And she had owned it
for less than a week, and you know, drove closer
in like closer to home, which isn't for her. It's
in Kyle, Texas. But you know, this all happened early
(02:41):
on the fourth of July, and it's just there are
lots of stories like that that I know personally because
of the people you know in the Hill country in Texas.
So it is somber, it's heartbreaking. And there are lots
of atrocities that are happening all over the world and
that happen every day that don't impact us the same.
(03:04):
They may not get the same news coverage and media coverage,
but I think when it's closer to home, it touches
our humanity and our hearts more personally. And I think
there's something quite obviously heartbreaking and saddening about this, but
it also it evokes our hearts, it evokes our feelings,
(03:25):
our humanity, the preciousness of our human lives. And I
will say this, you know, it has that surreal quality
to it when things like that happen, if it is
not personally happening to you in real time where you're
fight or flight, running for your life, witnessing those kinds
(03:46):
of events, But it has this sombering, sobering effect. But
it also has a detaching effect too. For me, it
was all happening, it was real, but I could also
feel myself detached, and not because I wasn't feeling or caring.
It was almost as if my body didn't know how
(04:08):
to process it. And I think this is a beautiful
analogy for what is happening energetically right now. You all
know because you show up for this podcast and you're
curious in listening and growing and seeking. But that energy
is shifting, consciousness is shifting, frequencies are shifting. I watched
(04:32):
this guy on YouTube, he's a geophysicist, and there's so
much happening with the Sun, the coronal rays and the Sun.
The Shuman resonance of the Earth just recently shifted from
seven point whatever it is to eight point something and
it was a short anomaly, but there was a human
(04:52):
resonance shift in the Earth's core and frequency. Stuff is happening.
There have been multiple in volcanoes, earthquakes, There is a
lot happening with the tectonics of Earth itself. There's stuff
happening in the galaxy, in the cosmos that is playing
(05:13):
into this with these rays that are being emitted into
Earth's atmosphere because the Sun is just erupting, So we
have that stuff going on. But it's as if, and
this is the way it has felt for me for
quite a bit but twenty twenty five essentially is that
I'm tectonically shifting the tectonics in my biology, my psycho
(05:37):
spiritual awareness, my psychology, my sensory abilities. I'm having these
tectonic shifts internally, and sometimes I can let them be
and respond to them, and other times they are wildly uncomfortable.
(05:58):
So there's this natural element of feeling things differently, noticing
something is different, and then this detachment or numbness even
and numbness is a big one, and to me, it's
that apathy, the numbness that I can mistake for lack
(06:18):
of creativity, lack of vitality, lack of motivation. I'm not
doing anything, I'm not doing enough. What should I be doing?
My rational brain will go into logic and rationalizing or
reasoning out what is very unreasonable within because it's different,
(06:40):
it's new. So whatever your feeling, and I imagine this
resonates deeply with you because there are changes occurring in
and around us, and they're translating into our day to
day life and the way that we metabolize is information,
(07:02):
or don't metabolize it for that matter. So I'm going
to touch on some of the things that I have
been personally experiencing and give you some insights and reflections
during this podcast today, and I hope you can take
the time to really sit with some deep questions for
yourself and this gives you new clarity in the uncertainty
(07:29):
or comfort in the liminal space the tectonic shifts within,
so to speak. One thing I do want to announce
and make a big reminder on is I'm having a
free full moon virtual ceremony on July tenth, and it's
the Capricorn full moon, and I had set this up
a couple of weeks ago, but it feels so valuable now,
(07:54):
So come as you are. There's a registration link in
the show notes in the description of the podcast below
that you can sign up. It's free, come as you are.
But the intention behind it is frequency and resonance and
being able to come back into your center and this
newly recalibrated center. And I'm laughing because I'm like, oh gosh,
(08:18):
I sound so philosophical right now, but it's like, oh,
this makes so much sense. I was talking about the
human resonance and the frequency of the planet and how
it's shifted to from a seven point something to an
eight point something and then it goes back, So it's
the Earth is trying to shift, coming into that liminal
space with a center within it. That is really the
(08:40):
frequency of this full moon ceremony and doing it in
collective community, which has a magnifying effect energetically, and also
being able to let go to release. It is a
full moon, it's a Capricorn full moon, and of course
the polarity in Capricorn and Cancer, so the sun will
be in Cancer. The moon in Capricorn is masculine and
(09:05):
feminine at its simplest and at its most divine. It's divine,
masculine and feminine, So it is a beautifully recalibrating and
centering moon that can honor the space to shift to
change in a very uncertain atmosphere. So I hope you
(09:28):
will join me if you feel called to bring your
own presence, and I'm excited about doing this. I'm looking
forward to spending time with you and sharing our frequencies
and also collaborating our high frequencies and our magic, our
magnificence because together there is something much more profound, and
(09:52):
also taking that time to honor all the things that
are going on in the world, the tragedies, atrocities, and
how we can offer our heart, it's and our love
because that stuff impacts. That stuff matters. So one of
the things really that I wanted to share today and
it's just showing up where I am. It's so funny.
(10:13):
Normally I record these podcasts on Mondays. That's kind of
my sacred time that Elizabeth, my producer, and I get
together and we do this and and I think I've
shared this before and Elizabeth knows this very well, but
my podcast for me, it's never like I'm strategically organizing
what's what. I just show up and I know, like, oh,
this is what we're talking about today, and I've got
(10:34):
this like oh yeah, well yesterday on Monday, I'm recording
this on Tuesday. It'll air Wednesday, July ninth. But yesterday
I was like, I had a lot of a handful
of things going on around the house, and it was
it was a little bit too busy and chaotic. But
I could have carved out the time, but I didn't
(10:55):
want to carve out the time. And it wasn't that
I was shirking responsibility or pushing off deadlines or making
anybody else's job harder because I that would be my
fear is that my producer or our sound engineer, a
wonderful sound engineer, Houston, that that puts more work on
his plate at the eleventh hour, because I don't like
(11:18):
to do that. And that's you know, me being mindful
and respectful. But then there's also the people pleaser component
of me too. But yesterday it was like, I don't
record today. Like I didn't. It was like I didn't
have anything to say. And you all know that is
not a space that I am comfortable with. Is not
knowing what to say because it just comes. But it
(11:40):
was like, I don't know what to say because my
frequency feels a little bit out of bounds. My frequency
is out of bounds as far as touching base with
you all and being in frequency and resonance with you all.
(12:01):
And I feel that when I connect, when I record,
I know and I feel those things. And yesterday I
didn't know and I couldn't perform. And that is a
truth and a secret about me is I know how
to tap dance. And some of you have heard me
say this to you in sessions and in readings when
I say, oh, you're a tap dancer, like me, and
(12:23):
I get it because I know how to suit up,
show up and bring the jazz, bring the sparkle. My
energy field knows how to just show up even when
I don't have it, even when I don't want to,
it just comes. And that has been one thing that
I have been deconstructing. And it's in something deeper than that.
(12:45):
I've been deconstructing what it means to be valuable, to
be useful and to be productive, and for a long time,
and I had this like awe hall awakening not that
long ago, that I have bowed to the alter of
productivity most of my life. And what I mean by
(13:08):
that is that in my mind, if I am productive,
then I am useful, and that is valuable. That's how
that translates for me is if I am productive, I
get things accomplished, I get things done, then I am
useful and I am showing up and I am valuable.
It is worthy, I am worthy. And that has been
(13:29):
unraveling and what it has been for me. And this
is where I want you to reflect in terms of
what has been unraveling for you, where you've been uninspired
or unclear or feeling a sense of hollowness, what is shifting,
(13:50):
what plate tectonics within yourself and your soul are shifting,
And to be able to embrace it as sacred rather
than uninspired or hollow, that it's liminal and liminal space,
that in between that unknowing, not knowing, uncertainty is just
(14:13):
as much a part, if not maybe the quantum part
of spiritual growth and evolution as the productivity or the
output or the external translation of something. And where for
me this clicks and I want you to maybe consider
this is I have been unweaving an old karmic contract.
(14:46):
I have been unweaving an old karmic contract where my
contract said my energy is worthy only if it's performing
or producing. That's a big like even when I say
that hits my heart because it brings me sadness, and
(15:07):
it brings me truth because it's honest. Right, it's raw
that this contract, like a sacred contract, I am here
and I am breaking. It's like a spell. I feel
like I have been under a spell that sounds so witchy.
I feel like I've been under a spell like a
guy's a delusion, an illusion maybe illusion and delusion for
(15:32):
the greater part of my existence here and it is.
It's like in its last bit of disentanglement. And I've
lived inside that spell for a long time that my productivity,
that my performance is where my value is. And I
know my value is in my presence. And I touched
(15:54):
on that in the last couple of podcasts. And it's
not that I don't I'm not present. I don't know
how to be present and I'm not inauthentic, because when
I show up with you all, it's maybe one of
the most present places I know how to be. And
yesterday I realized I couldn't. I didn't want to be present.
I couldn't be present, and I honored that. And today
(16:18):
I'm like, oh, I'm present, I'm here, I'm true with
you all. This is the frequency and I can feel
it out there in those of you listening that you're
present right now and it's fleeting sometimes, but noticing where
you feel fully present even when it is sombering or
(16:40):
sobering or sad, or it is delightful and joyful. How
is your presence evolving? And a lot of this transition
for me and growth has been in metabolizing this shift
from external effort to this new internal coherence because I
(17:05):
know and I've experienced what it feels like that place
of finding my center within, feeling the center, being in
the center, living in the center, or the presence, the
true presence within, being very anchored into that and connected,
rooted and connected higher above, so to speak. But my
(17:27):
internal coherence is like that frequency is shifting, so anchoring
it in can sometimes feel very uncomfortable and out of whack.
And one of the questions that I've contemplated for and
been practicing like it's been like the Yoga of my life,
(17:47):
and for those of you who are not familiar with
that term, the yoga of your life, Yoga definitely has
a practice quality to it, where you go into a
studio or within a group and you practice the asenas,
that's the Sanskrit word for movements, the asenas of yoga.
But yoga has this eight limb path and there's multiple
(18:08):
parts of yoga, and it's the part of the Yoga
of my life, the living of the presence of my life.
And my question has been what if rest and slowness
and lack of clarity are new forms of power that
I've never been taught to trust, Like getting curious about
(18:33):
the rest and the slowness and the uncertainty and the
liminal space, as if it were this engaged new horizon.
The liminal space for me has become this new adventure
and I am craving it and sometimes the trick of
(18:54):
my mind. In art history, in art they call that trumploi.
It means trick of the eye, tromploy. I had a
minor in art history, so I don't know how that
came to me. The word tromploy always stuck with me,
trick of the eye. And these painters, especially these Renaissance painters,
would do a lot of troumploy trick of the eye,
so you know, things felt closer or farther away. It
(19:17):
had to do with depth than dimension. But anyway, I
feel like right now, this tromploi but I've had going on,
is what if my rest and my slowness is actually
like the juice, the stuff the new frontier, and it's
going to create a greater presence versus a productivity. Can
(19:39):
I honor that? Am I brave enough to honor the
slow down? And what my rational mind will say is
you're not doing enough. You should be, You need to
be so things to think about are the sacredness of
our liminal space or the uncertainty the in between, and
(20:04):
how our spiritual maturity includes embracing confusion or lack of clarity.
I have found that so disconcerting and awkward and wildly rewarding.
And I know that sounds so funny. But the stiller,
(20:24):
the stiller, I know that's not a word. The more
still I get, the quieter I get, the more that
I lean into, for lack of better terminology, the more
that I lean into the respite, the relaxation, the more
poignant and louder my truth or my wisdom is becoming.
(20:48):
And what's scary about that is I'm changing. I'm saying
no to things or yes to things in a much
more discerning faction, and almost with an emphatic quality, an
emphasis like oh no, my body will tell me no
to something, and now I don't deny it because it's
(21:10):
actually become loud. If something is out of coherence with me,
an event, friendship, recording, the podcast like whatever it may be,
the no, it shows up in my body, and whether
it comes as indigestion, pain, someplace in my body, a heaviness,
(21:32):
it can show up a multitude of ways, but I
am not ignoring the physical response of my body. So
that's one of the things that I encourage everybody right now.
And I've said this before, but really, July is such
a month of imprint to take note, and the physical
body is a great temperature gauge for what may or
(21:55):
may not be resonant for you and helping you to
make the leap the frequency shift that we are. It's
like we're in the middle ground of it. I don't
even have a good word, but I can feel it
because it's just it's enriching for me, it's sacred and
(22:15):
I can sometimes feel Also, this is what's been bizarre
for me, is I feel extremely introverted, like almost like
elusive and hermit like. And it's funny because you all
know this when when I talk about numerology, I'm a
nine attitude, a nine life path, born in a nine year.
We're in a nine universal year, but I feel so nine,
(22:39):
and the nine in the taro is the hermit like.
Sometimes I'm like, oh my gosh, am I just like
a hermit and shutting out? Or am I listening deeper?
Am I being truer? And it's not that I don't
show up and engage in the world and delight in
certain engagements because I do, and I know which people,
(23:02):
places and experience create upliftment, joy, delight, resonance, and cohesion.
And I am painfully aware of what or who does
not that has a little bit of grief and heartache
and fear for me because it's old habits, people pleasing, accommodating, accommodating,
(23:26):
and I have become unaccommodating. And I don't mean that
I'm intolerant or not loving and genuine and connective, because
I am those things. But my body physically is not overgiving, overproductive, overproducing,
overly generous. My sparkle isn't that way. I walked into
(23:49):
this event that I had the other day, and I
sat down on this sofa, and I guess it was
all over my body language, right, and this woman goes,
oh my gosh, what's wrong with you? You're not your
sparkly self. And she said it just like that. Her
voice is kind of like that, oh my gosh, you're
not your sparkly self. And what was so funny is
like three years ago this woman said that to me.
(24:12):
Another woman, not that woman, another woman said that to me,
and I remember I got so hacked off because I
was like, how did she notice? I'm just fine? Don't
ask me how I am, like, even though I was
tired and exhausted. At my first reaction to that was like,
I can't believe you just said that, Like I'm fine,
don't ask me. Like I was so obstinate, and I
had a tude. I had a total attitude. And then
(24:34):
I realized, and I remember this is years ago, right,
I said to the lady, I said, you know, I'm
just kind of tired today, like I'm good, and I
was good, but I just want to be here and listen. Anyway,
So the other day when this other woman said you're
not your sparkly self, and I was like, I'm good,
it did not offend me in the least because I
(24:54):
wasn't performing. I wasn't sparkling to just sparkle, right, And
again I told y'all, I'm a tap dancer. I know
how to tap dance, and I actually don't know how
to tap dance for you know, for anything. But she
was like, you're not sparkly, and I'm like, I'm good, yeah,
but just because I'm not sparkling doesn't mean I'm not true,
(25:18):
but I didn't react to her. The voice in my
head did not react, Like there's something has shifted in
me where it's starting to translate externally, and I felt
comfortable with that dialogue. So that was this cool evidence
that this presence over performance is starting to like to root,
(25:42):
to vibrate externally and internally. It's clicking like in my
in my data, in my head, my cohesion, my neural pathways,
whatever it may be, my consciousness, my ego, my ego right,
because this is a lot of ego stuff that feels
like it's becoming softer and more connected to my higher self.
(26:08):
Another thing that's come up for me too through this
slowdown is feeling like I'm creatively blocked. And I'm not
creatively blocked, but it's like I don't have the umph
to summon something from nothing, and I'm not succumbing to that.
I'm not being seduced by the need to be productive
(26:31):
or busy when I don't have it, and I don't
want to summon creativity for the sake of summoning it
for the sake of productivity or some old, outdated sense
of self worth and what it's become is this energetic
gestation for me, Like I'm just in this gestation period energetically,
(26:52):
and I have to say I'm loving it, like I'm
in love with this inner jetic womb that I'm in
right now. And what's funny is some people that I
connect with personally since it, they sense it, they get it,
they know it. They don't have to bombard me with questions,
(27:13):
and others don't get it or think or taking it
personally or in their own insecurity for lack of not
having their own center as they're feeding ground as their
well spring of their own personal integrity and security. And
this is not a judgment, but it's like the people
(27:34):
that are like clawing and needing, I can feel that,
and then the people that are just like, gosh, I
get it. Yeah me too, girlfriend. You know, I love
getting to talk to somebody I haven't spoken within a
handful of months and we pick up right where we
left off. I had that the other day with a
good friend of mine and she and I probably hadn't
(27:55):
talked in eight months, and she had reached out and
was like, I was thinking about you, and then we
connected and it was like so amazing. She was like, oh,
we just had our own soul session, and I was like, yeah,
like we just had a soul session because she was
experiencing the same shifts and growth and so was I.
But it wasn't It was coming from this mutual, cohesive
(28:16):
place of like mutual respect, mutual I see you, you
see me, instead of me needing to grasp at you
and pay attention to me, and like there's a difference.
There's a difference, and so noticing that, and that may
sound a little bit harsh, but my energy feel doesn't
have the space to hold and lift up others in
(28:36):
the way that I used to give that away for
performance rather than presence. So just look at what's happening
within you. So deconstructing the identity of being productive, maybe
that resonates with you, and really think about that. But
also learning to trust the blank space, like learning to
trust the blank page, the blank canvas, the blank space.
(29:00):
What if the blankness isn't a void to be filled?
And that's I'm gonna repeat that because that's what's come
up for me is what if my blank space isn't
some void that I need to fill because I'm a
filler like a busy adu productive Like I've told you,
it's productivity, my altar of sacred productivity. You know that
can be misguided. What if the blankness isn't a void
(29:22):
to be filled, but maybe this kind of gestational sacred
wound to be trusted while it is maturing, while it
is growing and evolving. So it's this powerful recalibration that
really is happening in the energy field. And even when
I'm silent. This is another big one for me. Even
(29:44):
when I am so still and so silent, I know
my soul, my higher self, the universe, God is listening.
When I am just as still as I can be,
I can feel the universe communing with me and listening,
and it feels more enriching than producing another thing is
(30:08):
for me. And this is where I get stuck a
little bit sometimes, is in this need to explain. I
am a splainer, I am a justifier and a splainer.
And you know it's like, oh, blah blah blah blah,
but or well, I didn't do this because or no,
I can't do this because that is my mo has
been my mo o so much of my life. You know,
(30:30):
I am not I have not been one of those
people that just grasp the concept of yes as a
complete sentence and no is a complete sentence. I always
feel like there needs to be a justification, and that's
changing a bit too. I'm really I'm not quantum leaped
over that that great barrier yet. But what is emerging
(30:53):
in me does not need to be explained. And while yes,
I'm explaining this to you all, because this space, to
me feels like it's we're going through this. This isn't
just me, this is our space where whatever is shifting,
whatever plate tectonics are shifting within us, do we always
(31:16):
have to explain them? And if we're having to explain them,
what does that say? So it's kind of like paradoxically
not explaining and being uncomfortable in not explaining, because not
explaining for me sometimes can feel really uncomfortable because I
feel it's people pleasing and it's reverse ego, is what
it is. It's ego. Let me tell you why, you know,
(31:38):
let me justify this, let me make it beautiful on
the outside, so I make you feel more comfortable, So
I make you feel more comfortable with my discomfort or change.
And it paradoxically it's like this deeper transmission where the
changes that are going on internally are not needing to
(31:58):
be loudly exc blamed or expressed on the surface. Another
thing that is really cool, and I mean time is shifting. Right.
We've got linear time and multidimensional time, and I am
enjoying playing with time right now, and everything seems to
(32:19):
click exactly when I don't think it's going to, or
in divine timing, or both at the same time. Meaning
it's like this is not Amanda's clock. I'm in the clock,
but there is this bigger, sacred, divine orchestration of things
that's my dog's slim he came in here, and the
(32:40):
neighbors walking with his dog, he sees them outside. So
but it's like being true to time beyond time and
knowing that my frequency is shifting so drastically that I
need this sacred quiet to allow things to click in
(33:00):
divine timing. So sometimes the way I explain that, in
like just Layman's terms for all of us and for
myself is sometimes I'll get a client or someone who
you know is looking for love or a new job,
whatever it may be, and they're like, but when, like
when is the day when is this going to happen? Well,
(33:21):
usually the way that they show me things are multiple
probable outcomes. They show me the highest path forward if
everything if like you're doing the work and it like
it's coming through and the growth is happening. But there's
always this factor of whomever your person is or wherever
this next job opportunity is, there's other things that need
(33:42):
to happen in other people's energy fields. The job may
not be available yet, the person may not be available
yet either that it is not just about me. It's
there's this like sacred change or unraveling going on in
the field. So even though I'm ready for the frequency
to shift or me to be able to completely explain
(34:05):
this to you all in a very clear way, it's like,
but everybody else's frequency fields are shifting too, So we're
in this transition together and we're not alone. We're all
very interconnected. So what I'm noticing in the quiet is
what I used to miss in the noise. So think
(34:27):
about that for yourself. What are you noticing when you
make space for your quiet sacred time that maybe you
missed in the busyness and the noise. And another simple
way of framing this as a question or a journal
prompt and reflection, is what if nothing is wrong with
(34:48):
this pause? Because my rational brain goes to, Oh, I'm
not productive, I'm not doing enough, I'm being lazy. You know,
That's what my rational one will tell me, I'm just
being lazy. And it's like, but I'm honoring that. I
need that rest, And like, what if nothing is wrong
with it? What if it's exactly how it's supposed to be.
And I trust that it is exactly how it's supposed
(35:08):
to be because I can feel it. But think about
that for yourself. When you need solitude, quiet time, when
you say no to something, when you take things, when
you remove things from your plate, what if, like deep down,
you can honor nothing is wrong with that. Now, some
of you out there know nothing is wrong with that. No,
I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna do what I want
(35:29):
to do. Like We've got a lot of blunt people
out there, and gosh, I love my like definitive blunt
folks that they know they're yes and they know they're no.
And I know quite a handful of people like that,
and gosh, I'm always mesmerized by them. Sometimes they can
be a little harsh, you know, my feelers can get
hurt in those things. But you know, not so much anymore,
(35:50):
because I really am always drawn to people who have
very strong, definitive personalities and viewpoints, which can be dogmatic
too and rigid. There's you know, there's the shadow of
all those elements. But for me, deep down, it's like
something is wrong with me needing this rest. Something is
wrong with my hormones or my vitality, or my apathy
(36:13):
or detachment. And it's not that I am apathetic or detaching.
I am really reattaching to something deeper. So what if
nothing is wrong with you needing to reserve, to pull back,
and that this liminal space is a wise and rightful
(36:34):
part of your evolution and right of passage. It feels
like a right of passage right now for me. Another
question that I've really reflected on is, you know what
has room to emerge or grow when I stop trying
to perform or be impressive and just let myself be present.
(36:55):
And I will tell you, for me, what's been coming
through is peace, And then there'll be like a tidal
wave of fear and it'll be peace or trueness it's
like this vast trueness right Are you willing to trust
the wisdom of not knowing right now? Can you allow
(37:18):
this not knowing to be fertile instead of frustrating? That
is probably one of the greatest things that keeps coming
up is I'm becoming less frustrated with myself and more fertile.
And in a way that I said, I was sharing
with you that it's hard to externally articulate because the
(37:40):
language hasn't arrived yet. The outer identity has not caught
up with the inner tectonic shifts. So asking yourself what
identities you're quietly outgrowing without needing to announce it. July
is such a presence building space that doesn't feel like
it's big on publicizing. There's a lot of inner dialogue
(38:05):
and communion happening if you allow it and make the
time for it without the need for the external validation
or immediate gratification or productivity and performance. See if you
can honor that part of your presence and your stillness
without a checklist or action items. And it doesn't mean
that you don't take action or put things into motion,
(38:29):
but it is. It is an important time and a
fruitful time to let part of yourself dissolve, to let
part of yourself grow through dissolving if you can, and
even if you can't, name it. So I hope this
resonates with everyone, and I thank you all for showing up.
(38:52):
I hope to see many of you at the Fullman
ceremony on the tenth. And I just want to let
you all know how meaningful your energy field is and
your presence and how powerful it is, remembering how powerful
(39:14):
your stillness and your presence and your communion with yourself is.
And right now, this womb, this fertile stage that we're
in is like this is where the rubber meets the road,
but it's behind the scenes. It's not on the outside
so much as it is deeply, deeply fruitful on the inside.
(39:38):
So trust that, trust your stillness, and really take some
introspective and solitary time this month for and with yourself.

Hi, everyone, It's Amanda riger Green. Welcome to Soul's Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. Wow, I feel like
the energy is heavy and somber. As many of you know,
I live in Wimberley, Texas. I live in the hill
country in Texas, and the horrific floods that occurred over
(00:31):
Fourth of July weekend on the fourth of July are
very close in proximity to where we live. And while
we were fine and okay, a lot of people we
know personally have been very tragically impacted. And then there
are the news reports that we've all seen, and of
(00:53):
course I would be remiss not to talk about the
Sweet Girls Camp, Camp Mystic and and just the tragedy
and atrocity in a moment, in an instant, I have
a friend, a woman that I am close to, who's
really been working to get her life together, and you know,
it's been messy and hard, but she's been doing it
(01:14):
and making steps. And I just will share this personal story.
But she had bought a camper trailer and she's working
on a ranch out in Kerrville, Texas, which was impacted,
just like Hunt, Texas. That's where the flooding was on
the Guadaloupe River and she had just bought her camper
(01:34):
and moved it out there started her new job. Spent
the first night in the camper and she was going
to park it on her cousin's property. She has a
cousin who has property out there. But the first night
she got there, she went to a campground for these
travel trailers right on the Guadaloup River and woke up
at four point thirty in the morning to rising waters,
(01:56):
people screaming, and she essentially got out of that with
her cat and helped a handful of people while not
just people were being impacted and rushing to get out,
but there was live stock, cows and cattle being trapped, horses.
There's lots of livestock impacted in this too, apart from
(02:17):
the human atrocities and tragedies. But she got out and
got in her car, and her camper as she's driving
being off, was swept away. And she had owned it
for less than a week, and you know, drove closer
in like closer to home, which isn't for her. It's
in Kyle, Texas. But you know, this all happened early
(02:41):
on the fourth of July, and it's just there are
lots of stories like that that I know personally because
of the people you know in the Hill country in Texas.
So it is somber, it's heartbreaking. And there are lots
of atrocities that are happening all over the world and
that happen every day that don't impact us the same.
(03:04):
They may not get the same news coverage and media coverage,
but I think when it's closer to home, it touches
our humanity and our hearts more personally. And I think
there's something quite obviously heartbreaking and saddening about this, but
it also it evokes our hearts, it evokes our feelings,
(03:25):
our humanity, the preciousness of our human lives. And I
will say this, you know, it has that surreal quality
to it when things like that happen, if it is
not personally happening to you in real time where you're
fight or flight, running for your life, witnessing those kinds
(03:46):
of events, But it has this sombering, sobering effect. But
it also has a detaching effect too. For me, it
was all happening, it was real, but I could also
feel myself detached, and not because I wasn't feeling or caring.
It was almost as if my body didn't know how
(04:08):
to process it. And I think this is a beautiful
analogy for what is happening energetically right now. You all
know because you show up for this podcast and you're
curious in listening and growing and seeking. But that energy
is shifting, consciousness is shifting, frequencies are shifting. I watched
(04:32):
this guy on YouTube, he's a geophysicist, and there's so
much happening with the Sun, the coronal rays and the Sun.
The Shuman resonance of the Earth just recently shifted from
seven point whatever it is to eight point something and
it was a short anomaly, but there was a human
(04:52):
resonance shift in the Earth's core and frequency. Stuff is happening.
There have been multiple in volcanoes, earthquakes, There is a
lot happening with the tectonics of Earth itself. There's stuff
happening in the galaxy, in the cosmos that is playing
(05:13):
into this with these rays that are being emitted into
Earth's atmosphere because the Sun is just erupting, So we
have that stuff going on. But it's as if, and
this is the way it has felt for me for
quite a bit but twenty twenty five essentially is that
I'm tectonically shifting the tectonics in my biology, my psycho
(05:37):
spiritual awareness, my psychology, my sensory abilities. I'm having these
tectonic shifts internally, and sometimes I can let them be
and respond to them, and other times they are wildly uncomfortable.
(05:58):
So there's this natural element of feeling things differently, noticing
something is different, and then this detachment or numbness even
and numbness is a big one, and to me, it's
that apathy, the numbness that I can mistake for lack
(06:18):
of creativity, lack of vitality, lack of motivation. I'm not
doing anything, I'm not doing enough. What should I be doing?
My rational brain will go into logic and rationalizing or
reasoning out what is very unreasonable within because it's different,
(06:40):
it's new. So whatever your feeling, and I imagine this
resonates deeply with you because there are changes occurring in
and around us, and they're translating into our day to
day life and the way that we metabolize is information,
(07:02):
or don't metabolize it for that matter. So I'm going
to touch on some of the things that I have
been personally experiencing and give you some insights and reflections
during this podcast today, and I hope you can take
the time to really sit with some deep questions for
yourself and this gives you new clarity in the uncertainty
(07:29):
or comfort in the liminal space the tectonic shifts within,
so to speak. One thing I do want to announce
and make a big reminder on is I'm having a
free full moon virtual ceremony on July tenth, and it's
the Capricorn full moon, and I had set this up
a couple of weeks ago, but it feels so valuable now,
(07:54):
So come as you are. There's a registration link in
the show notes in the description of the podcast below
that you can sign up. It's free, come as you are.
But the intention behind it is frequency and resonance and
being able to come back into your center and this
newly recalibrated center. And I'm laughing because I'm like, oh gosh,
(08:18):
I sound so philosophical right now, but it's like, oh,
this makes so much sense. I was talking about the
human resonance and the frequency of the planet and how
it's shifted to from a seven point something to an
eight point something and then it goes back, So it's
the Earth is trying to shift, coming into that liminal
space with a center within it. That is really the
(08:40):
frequency of this full moon ceremony and doing it in
collective community, which has a magnifying effect energetically, and also
being able to let go to release. It is a
full moon, it's a Capricorn full moon, and of course
the polarity in Capricorn and Cancer, so the sun will
be in Cancer. The moon in Capricorn is masculine and
(09:05):
feminine at its simplest and at its most divine. It's divine,
masculine and feminine, So it is a beautifully recalibrating and
centering moon that can honor the space to shift to
change in a very uncertain atmosphere. So I hope you
(09:28):
will join me if you feel called to bring your
own presence, and I'm excited about doing this. I'm looking
forward to spending time with you and sharing our frequencies
and also collaborating our high frequencies and our magic, our
magnificence because together there is something much more profound, and
(09:52):
also taking that time to honor all the things that
are going on in the world, the tragedies, atrocities, and
how we can offer our heart, it's and our love
because that stuff impacts. That stuff matters. So one of
the things really that I wanted to share today and
it's just showing up where I am. It's so funny.
(10:13):
Normally I record these podcasts on Mondays. That's kind of
my sacred time that Elizabeth, my producer, and I get
together and we do this and and I think I've
shared this before and Elizabeth knows this very well, but
my podcast for me, it's never like I'm strategically organizing
what's what. I just show up and I know, like, oh,
this is what we're talking about today, and I've got
(10:34):
this like oh yeah, well yesterday on Monday, I'm recording
this on Tuesday. It'll air Wednesday, July ninth. But yesterday
I was like, I had a lot of a handful
of things going on around the house, and it was
it was a little bit too busy and chaotic. But
I could have carved out the time, but I didn't
(10:55):
want to carve out the time. And it wasn't that
I was shirking responsibility or pushing off deadlines or making
anybody else's job harder because I that would be my
fear is that my producer or our sound engineer, a
wonderful sound engineer, Houston, that that puts more work on
his plate at the eleventh hour, because I don't like
(11:18):
to do that. And that's you know, me being mindful
and respectful. But then there's also the people pleaser component
of me too. But yesterday it was like, I don't
record today. Like I didn't. It was like I didn't
have anything to say. And you all know that is
not a space that I am comfortable with. Is not
knowing what to say because it just comes. But it
(11:40):
was like, I don't know what to say because my
frequency feels a little bit out of bounds. My frequency
is out of bounds as far as touching base with
you all and being in frequency and resonance with you all.
(12:01):
And I feel that when I connect, when I record,
I know and I feel those things. And yesterday I
didn't know and I couldn't perform. And that is a
truth and a secret about me is I know how
to tap dance. And some of you have heard me
say this to you in sessions and in readings when
I say, oh, you're a tap dancer, like me, and
(12:23):
I get it because I know how to suit up,
show up and bring the jazz, bring the sparkle. My
energy field knows how to just show up even when
I don't have it, even when I don't want to,
it just comes. And that has been one thing that
I have been deconstructing. And it's in something deeper than that.
(12:45):
I've been deconstructing what it means to be valuable, to
be useful and to be productive, and for a long time,
and I had this like awe hall awakening not that
long ago, that I have bowed to the alter of
productivity most of my life. And what I mean by
(13:08):
that is that in my mind, if I am productive,
then I am useful, and that is valuable. That's how
that translates for me is if I am productive, I
get things accomplished, I get things done, then I am
useful and I am showing up and I am valuable.
It is worthy, I am worthy. And that has been
(13:29):
unraveling and what it has been for me. And this
is where I want you to reflect in terms of
what has been unraveling for you, where you've been uninspired
or unclear or feeling a sense of hollowness, what is shifting,
(13:50):
what plate tectonics within yourself and your soul are shifting,
And to be able to embrace it as sacred rather
than uninspired or hollow, that it's liminal and liminal space,
that in between that unknowing, not knowing, uncertainty is just
(14:13):
as much a part, if not maybe the quantum part
of spiritual growth and evolution as the productivity or the
output or the external translation of something. And where for
me this clicks and I want you to maybe consider
this is I have been unweaving an old karmic contract.
(14:46):
I have been unweaving an old karmic contract where my
contract said my energy is worthy only if it's performing
or producing. That's a big like even when I say
that hits my heart because it brings me sadness, and
(15:07):
it brings me truth because it's honest. Right, it's raw
that this contract, like a sacred contract, I am here
and I am breaking. It's like a spell. I feel
like I have been under a spell that sounds so witchy.
I feel like I've been under a spell like a
guy's a delusion, an illusion maybe illusion and delusion for
(15:32):
the greater part of my existence here and it is.
It's like in its last bit of disentanglement. And I've
lived inside that spell for a long time that my productivity,
that my performance is where my value is. And I
know my value is in my presence. And I touched
(15:54):
on that in the last couple of podcasts. And it's
not that I don't I'm not present. I don't know
how to be present and I'm not inauthentic, because when
I show up with you all, it's maybe one of
the most present places I know how to be. And
yesterday I realized I couldn't. I didn't want to be present.
I couldn't be present, and I honored that. And today
(16:18):
I'm like, oh, I'm present, I'm here, I'm true with
you all. This is the frequency and I can feel
it out there in those of you listening that you're
present right now and it's fleeting sometimes, but noticing where
you feel fully present even when it is sombering or
(16:40):
sobering or sad, or it is delightful and joyful. How
is your presence evolving? And a lot of this transition
for me and growth has been in metabolizing this shift
from external effort to this new internal coherence because I
(17:05):
know and I've experienced what it feels like that place
of finding my center within, feeling the center, being in
the center, living in the center, or the presence, the
true presence within, being very anchored into that and connected,
rooted and connected higher above, so to speak. But my
(17:27):
internal coherence is like that frequency is shifting, so anchoring
it in can sometimes feel very uncomfortable and out of whack.
And one of the questions that I've contemplated for and
been practicing like it's been like the Yoga of my life,
(17:47):
and for those of you who are not familiar with
that term, the yoga of your life, Yoga definitely has
a practice quality to it, where you go into a
studio or within a group and you practice the asenas,
that's the Sanskrit word for movements, the asenas of yoga.
But yoga has this eight limb path and there's multiple
(18:08):
parts of yoga, and it's the part of the Yoga
of my life, the living of the presence of my life.
And my question has been what if rest and slowness
and lack of clarity are new forms of power that
I've never been taught to trust, Like getting curious about
(18:33):
the rest and the slowness and the uncertainty and the
liminal space, as if it were this engaged new horizon.
The liminal space for me has become this new adventure
and I am craving it and sometimes the trick of
(18:54):
my mind. In art history, in art they call that trumploi.
It means trick of the eye, tromploy. I had a
minor in art history, so I don't know how that
came to me. The word tromploy always stuck with me,
trick of the eye. And these painters, especially these Renaissance painters,
would do a lot of troumploy trick of the eye,
so you know, things felt closer or farther away. It
(19:17):
had to do with depth than dimension. But anyway, I
feel like right now, this tromploi but I've had going on,
is what if my rest and my slowness is actually
like the juice, the stuff the new frontier, and it's
going to create a greater presence versus a productivity. Can
(19:39):
I honor that? Am I brave enough to honor the
slow down? And what my rational mind will say is
you're not doing enough. You should be, You need to
be so things to think about are the sacredness of
our liminal space or the uncertainty the in between, and
(20:04):
how our spiritual maturity includes embracing confusion or lack of clarity.
I have found that so disconcerting and awkward and wildly rewarding.
And I know that sounds so funny. But the stiller,
(20:24):
the stiller, I know that's not a word. The more
still I get, the quieter I get, the more that
I lean into, for lack of better terminology, the more
that I lean into the respite, the relaxation, the more
poignant and louder my truth or my wisdom is becoming.
(20:48):
And what's scary about that is I'm changing. I'm saying
no to things or yes to things in a much
more discerning faction, and almost with an emphatic quality, an
emphasis like oh no, my body will tell me no
to something, and now I don't deny it because it's
(21:10):
actually become loud. If something is out of coherence with me,
an event, friendship, recording, the podcast like whatever it may be,
the no, it shows up in my body, and whether
it comes as indigestion, pain, someplace in my body, a heaviness,
(21:32):
it can show up a multitude of ways, but I
am not ignoring the physical response of my body. So
that's one of the things that I encourage everybody right now.
And I've said this before, but really, July is such
a month of imprint to take note, and the physical
body is a great temperature gauge for what may or
(21:55):
may not be resonant for you and helping you to
make the leap the frequency shift that we are. It's
like we're in the middle ground of it. I don't
even have a good word, but I can feel it
because it's just it's enriching for me, it's sacred and
(22:15):
I can sometimes feel Also, this is what's been bizarre
for me, is I feel extremely introverted, like almost like
elusive and hermit like. And it's funny because you all
know this when when I talk about numerology, I'm a
nine attitude, a nine life path, born in a nine year.
We're in a nine universal year, but I feel so nine,
(22:39):
and the nine in the taro is the hermit like.
Sometimes I'm like, oh my gosh, am I just like
a hermit and shutting out? Or am I listening deeper?
Am I being truer? And it's not that I don't
show up and engage in the world and delight in
certain engagements because I do, and I know which people,
(23:02):
places and experience create upliftment, joy, delight, resonance, and cohesion.
And I am painfully aware of what or who does
not that has a little bit of grief and heartache
and fear for me because it's old habits, people pleasing, accommodating, accommodating,
(23:26):
and I have become unaccommodating. And I don't mean that
I'm intolerant or not loving and genuine and connective, because
I am those things. But my body physically is not overgiving, overproductive, overproducing,
overly generous. My sparkle isn't that way. I walked into
(23:49):
this event that I had the other day, and I
sat down on this sofa, and I guess it was
all over my body language, right, and this woman goes,
oh my gosh, what's wrong with you? You're not your
sparkly self. And she said it just like that. Her
voice is kind of like that, oh my gosh, you're
not your sparkly self. And what was so funny is
like three years ago this woman said that to me.
(24:12):
Another woman, not that woman, another woman said that to me,
and I remember I got so hacked off because I
was like, how did she notice? I'm just fine? Don't
ask me how I am, like, even though I was
tired and exhausted. At my first reaction to that was like,
I can't believe you just said that, Like I'm fine,
don't ask me. Like I was so obstinate, and I
had a tude. I had a total attitude. And then
(24:34):
I realized, and I remember this is years ago, right,
I said to the lady, I said, you know, I'm
just kind of tired today, like I'm good, and I
was good, but I just want to be here and listen. Anyway,
So the other day when this other woman said you're
not your sparkly self, and I was like, I'm good,
it did not offend me in the least because I
(24:54):
wasn't performing. I wasn't sparkling to just sparkle, right, And
again I told y'all, I'm a tap dancer. I know
how to tap dance, and I actually don't know how
to tap dance for you know, for anything. But she
was like, you're not sparkly, and I'm like, I'm good, yeah,
but just because I'm not sparkling doesn't mean I'm not true,
(25:18):
but I didn't react to her. The voice in my
head did not react, Like there's something has shifted in
me where it's starting to translate externally, and I felt
comfortable with that dialogue. So that was this cool evidence
that this presence over performance is starting to like to root,
(25:42):
to vibrate externally and internally. It's clicking like in my
in my data, in my head, my cohesion, my neural pathways,
whatever it may be, my consciousness, my ego, my ego right,
because this is a lot of ego stuff that feels
like it's becoming softer and more connected to my higher self.
(26:08):
Another thing that's come up for me too through this
slowdown is feeling like I'm creatively blocked. And I'm not
creatively blocked, but it's like I don't have the umph
to summon something from nothing, and I'm not succumbing to that.
I'm not being seduced by the need to be productive
(26:31):
or busy when I don't have it, and I don't
want to summon creativity for the sake of summoning it
for the sake of productivity or some old, outdated sense
of self worth and what it's become is this energetic
gestation for me, Like I'm just in this gestation period energetically,
(26:52):
and I have to say I'm loving it, like I'm
in love with this inner jetic womb that I'm in
right now. And what's funny is some people that I
connect with personally since it, they sense it, they get it,
they know it. They don't have to bombard me with questions,
(27:13):
and others don't get it or think or taking it
personally or in their own insecurity for lack of not
having their own center as they're feeding ground as their
well spring of their own personal integrity and security. And
this is not a judgment, but it's like the people
(27:34):
that are like clawing and needing, I can feel that,
and then the people that are just like, gosh, I
get it. Yeah me too, girlfriend. You know, I love
getting to talk to somebody I haven't spoken within a
handful of months and we pick up right where we
left off. I had that the other day with a
good friend of mine and she and I probably hadn't
(27:55):
talked in eight months, and she had reached out and
was like, I was thinking about you, and then we
connected and it was like so amazing. She was like, oh,
we just had our own soul session, and I was like, yeah,
like we just had a soul session because she was
experiencing the same shifts and growth and so was I.
But it wasn't It was coming from this mutual, cohesive
(28:16):
place of like mutual respect, mutual I see you, you
see me, instead of me needing to grasp at you
and pay attention to me, and like there's a difference.
There's a difference, and so noticing that, and that may
sound a little bit harsh, but my energy feel doesn't
have the space to hold and lift up others in
(28:36):
the way that I used to give that away for
performance rather than presence. So just look at what's happening
within you. So deconstructing the identity of being productive, maybe
that resonates with you, and really think about that. But
also learning to trust the blank space, like learning to
trust the blank page, the blank canvas, the blank space.
(29:00):
What if the blankness isn't a void to be filled?
And that's I'm gonna repeat that because that's what's come
up for me is what if my blank space isn't
some void that I need to fill because I'm a
filler like a busy adu productive Like I've told you,
it's productivity, my altar of sacred productivity. You know that
can be misguided. What if the blankness isn't a void
(29:22):
to be filled, but maybe this kind of gestational sacred
wound to be trusted while it is maturing, while it
is growing and evolving. So it's this powerful recalibration that
really is happening in the energy field. And even when
I'm silent. This is another big one for me. Even
(29:44):
when I am so still and so silent, I know
my soul, my higher self, the universe, God is listening.
When I am just as still as I can be,
I can feel the universe communing with me and listening,
and it feels more enriching than producing another thing is
(30:08):
for me. And this is where I get stuck a
little bit sometimes, is in this need to explain. I
am a splainer, I am a justifier and a splainer.
And you know it's like, oh, blah blah blah blah,
but or well, I didn't do this because or no,
I can't do this because that is my mo has
been my mo o so much of my life. You know,
(30:30):
I am not I have not been one of those
people that just grasp the concept of yes as a
complete sentence and no is a complete sentence. I always
feel like there needs to be a justification, and that's
changing a bit too. I'm really I'm not quantum leaped
over that that great barrier yet. But what is emerging
(30:53):
in me does not need to be explained. And while yes,
I'm explaining this to you all, because this space, to
me feels like it's we're going through this. This isn't
just me, this is our space where whatever is shifting,
whatever plate tectonics are shifting within us, do we always
(31:16):
have to explain them? And if we're having to explain them,
what does that say? So it's kind of like paradoxically
not explaining and being uncomfortable in not explaining, because not
explaining for me sometimes can feel really uncomfortable because I
feel it's people pleasing and it's reverse ego, is what
it is. It's ego. Let me tell you why, you know,
(31:38):
let me justify this, let me make it beautiful on
the outside, so I make you feel more comfortable, So
I make you feel more comfortable with my discomfort or change.
And it paradoxically it's like this deeper transmission where the
changes that are going on internally are not needing to
(31:58):
be loudly exc blamed or expressed on the surface. Another
thing that is really cool, and I mean time is shifting. Right.
We've got linear time and multidimensional time, and I am
enjoying playing with time right now, and everything seems to
(32:19):
click exactly when I don't think it's going to, or
in divine timing, or both at the same time. Meaning
it's like this is not Amanda's clock. I'm in the clock,
but there is this bigger, sacred, divine orchestration of things
that's my dog's slim he came in here, and the
(32:40):
neighbors walking with his dog, he sees them outside. So
but it's like being true to time beyond time and
knowing that my frequency is shifting so drastically that I
need this sacred quiet to allow things to click in
(33:00):
divine timing. So sometimes the way I explain that, in
like just Layman's terms for all of us and for
myself is sometimes I'll get a client or someone who
you know is looking for love or a new job,
whatever it may be, and they're like, but when, like
when is the day when is this going to happen? Well,
(33:21):
usually the way that they show me things are multiple
probable outcomes. They show me the highest path forward if
everything if like you're doing the work and it like
it's coming through and the growth is happening. But there's
always this factor of whomever your person is or wherever
this next job opportunity is, there's other things that need
(33:42):
to happen in other people's energy fields. The job may
not be available yet, the person may not be available
yet either that it is not just about me. It's
there's this like sacred change or unraveling going on in
the field. So even though I'm ready for the frequency
to shift or me to be able to completely explain
(34:05):
this to you all in a very clear way, it's like,
but everybody else's frequency fields are shifting too, So we're
in this transition together and we're not alone. We're all
very interconnected. So what I'm noticing in the quiet is
what I used to miss in the noise. So think
(34:27):
about that for yourself. What are you noticing when you
make space for your quiet sacred time that maybe you
missed in the busyness and the noise. And another simple
way of framing this as a question or a journal
prompt and reflection, is what if nothing is wrong with
(34:48):
this pause? Because my rational brain goes to, Oh, I'm
not productive, I'm not doing enough, I'm being lazy. You know,
That's what my rational one will tell me, I'm just
being lazy. And it's like, but I'm honoring that. I
need that rest, And like, what if nothing is wrong
with it? What if it's exactly how it's supposed to be.
And I trust that it is exactly how it's supposed
(35:08):
to be because I can feel it. But think about
that for yourself. When you need solitude, quiet time, when
you say no to something, when you take things, when
you remove things from your plate, what if, like deep down,
you can honor nothing is wrong with that. Now, some
of you out there know nothing is wrong with that. No,
I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna do what I want
(35:29):
to do. Like We've got a lot of blunt people
out there, and gosh, I love my like definitive blunt
folks that they know they're yes and they know they're no.
And I know quite a handful of people like that,
and gosh, I'm always mesmerized by them. Sometimes they can
be a little harsh, you know, my feelers can get
hurt in those things. But you know, not so much anymore,
(35:50):
because I really am always drawn to people who have
very strong, definitive personalities and viewpoints, which can be dogmatic
too and rigid. There's you know, there's the shadow of
all those elements. But for me, deep down, it's like
something is wrong with me needing this rest. Something is
wrong with my hormones or my vitality, or my apathy
(36:13):
or detachment. And it's not that I am apathetic or detaching.
I am really reattaching to something deeper. So what if
nothing is wrong with you needing to reserve, to pull back,
and that this liminal space is a wise and rightful
(36:34):
part of your evolution and right of passage. It feels
like a right of passage right now for me. Another
question that I've really reflected on is, you know what
has room to emerge or grow when I stop trying
to perform or be impressive and just let myself be present.
(36:55):
And I will tell you, for me, what's been coming
through is peace, And then there'll be like a tidal
wave of fear and it'll be peace or trueness it's
like this vast trueness right Are you willing to trust
the wisdom of not knowing right now? Can you allow
(37:18):
this not knowing to be fertile instead of frustrating? That
is probably one of the greatest things that keeps coming
up is I'm becoming less frustrated with myself and more fertile.
And in a way that I said, I was sharing
with you that it's hard to externally articulate because the
(37:40):
language hasn't arrived yet. The outer identity has not caught
up with the inner tectonic shifts. So asking yourself what
identities you're quietly outgrowing without needing to announce it. July
is such a presence building space that doesn't feel like
it's big on publicizing. There's a lot of inner dialogue
(38:05):
and communion happening if you allow it and make the
time for it without the need for the external validation
or immediate gratification or productivity and performance. See if you
can honor that part of your presence and your stillness
without a checklist or action items. And it doesn't mean
that you don't take action or put things into motion,
(38:29):
but it is. It is an important time and a
fruitful time to let part of yourself dissolve, to let
part of yourself grow through dissolving if you can, and
even if you can't, name it. So I hope this
resonates with everyone, and I thank you all for showing up.
(38:52):
I hope to see many of you at the Fullman
ceremony on the tenth. And I just want to let
you all know how meaningful your energy field is and
your presence and how powerful it is, remembering how powerful
(39:14):
your stillness and your presence and your communion with yourself is.
And right now, this womb, this fertile stage that we're
in is like this is where the rubber meets the road,
but it's behind the scenes. It's not on the outside
so much as it is deeply, deeply fruitful on the inside.
(39:38):
So trust that, trust your stillness, and really take some
introspective and solitary time this month for and with yourself.
