Speaker 1 (00:08):
Welcome to Soul Sessions everyone. I'm Amanda riger Green, your host.
Thank you for joining me every week. I also want
to give a massive shout out to my team. I
have the most amazing executive producer, sound engineer, and my
assistants that work with me in soul pathology. And I
tell you what, this is a labor of love. So
(00:30):
definitely beam them some love because together we are able
to bring all of this great information to you. But
one of the things that they do for me that
I appreciate is that they hold space for my energy
and they help me have the clarity and the energy
to share with you. And the reason I'm sharing that
(00:52):
Happy Valentine's Day, by the way, because this is Valentine's Day.
We are going to talk about love and all the
highs and lows of that. That's what we're going to
get into. But I love my team and what I
love about them, I love multiple things about them as individuals.
But they help me feel clear, they help me feel motivated,
(01:14):
they help me streamline. And so what I'm saying about
that is I need people. We need people, We need
each other. Who are your people? Let's start Valentine's Day
with that who are your people? And your people can
fit lots of molds. We've got family, we've got friends,
We've got romantic partners, we've got pets. My pets are
(01:36):
My people are coworkers. People can come in a lot
of different forms. But who are people that you feel
like yourself around? And I feel most like myself around
my podcast team because they give me the creative license
to have my highs and lows and ups and downs,
and they help me get back on track. And I
(01:58):
do the same for them too, Cyprocal. That's the thing
about love. Love comes in a multitude of forms. We
a lot of times default into romantic love, but y'all,
love is friendship. Love is familial relationships. And you know
that family relationships. It's like I may not like you today.
(02:19):
I love you, but I may not like you today.
Love comes in layers. There's divine love. When you see
those repeating angel numbers that we talk about and you're
mystified and illuminated and having an AHA moment, it's transcendent.
There's this divine, transcendent oneness in love. There's sadness in love.
(02:41):
I think about the death of my mother and we
just put my mom's dog obi to sleep this past week,
and it was like losing my mom all over again
because we're we're basically one year. It's a year to
the month, and it brought everything back up. But there
was this sadness combined with this deep sense of oneness
(03:02):
and love. And to me, sometimes divine love is also heavy.
It can be sad, it can feel like lost, but
it can also feel expansive. So there's divine love. Then
we have friendships, and I think about my friendships and
in all the various forms of friendships, we have extremely
close friends. We have affiliations and associations people we see peripherally.
(03:27):
How do those people hold space for you? How do
you hold space for them? That's the reciprocity that I'm
alluding to. I have friends, and this has been really
important to me over the past couple of years. My
question for myself is who are the people that helped
me laugh my ass off? And the reason that's been
important for me is I wax toward intensity and seriousness.
(03:51):
Everything is about what am I learning? How is this
making sense? How are we changing the cosmos? I mean,
that's where I go in my natural state. I am
annaly and diving in and wanting to expand and tap
into the mysteries of consciousness. So I mean, that's really intense, okay,
and that's not sustainable. And what do I know about me?
(04:12):
When I'm fun, I'm freaking fun. When I laugh, I
laugh my ass off, Like I am funny, I'm snarky,
I'm silly. I'm raunchy sometimes like my friends who know no,
like I in my natural state, not the intense natural state.
The opposite of that, the mirror of that is me
being like a kid at heart. And I have a
(04:33):
nasty sense of humor. And when I say nasty, I'm
not trying to be offensive, y'all. But I will talk
about farts and just things that are raunchy and wrong.
And I have my sister, my sister and out there
shout out to you. I love her and I love
her because we have a wicked, raunchy sense of humor
and we offend our whole family. But they love that
we offend them, and that we're just gross, Like we're
(04:53):
totally gross. And by the way, when I was little,
I was not allowed to use the word gross. My
mom was like, no, you can't, like I wasn't allowed
to use the word suck. But that didn't come inuntil
like I don't know, maybe the like two thousands that
word but gross, I was not allowed to use the
word gross and just you know, and it's so funny
because I am just gross. And my mom would be
like Amanda, that's not lady like, that's the way she'd
(05:16):
be like m But by nature, I want to be
a little bit rebellious and wrong and raunchy because I
need to laugh. It's because I am so serious if
I will take myself too seriously. And what I'm getting
at as it relates to love and Valentine's Day relationships, connections,
(05:36):
who do you get to spend time with that brings
out parts of your personality that you may otherwise not
make time for or may not naturally come to you.
But you know, you enjoy yourself, You feel safe, you
feel at home, You feel like this creative, expressive version
(05:57):
of you that feels illuminated and lit up. That's important
to notice in relationships and again, whether it's intimate and romantic,
whether it's family, friends, co workers, Who do you feel
safe to be yourself with? And where can you be
silly silliness is so important right now because the energy
is I tell you what this eight energy, it's not
(06:21):
it didn't come to play. It's not joking, and I'm
feeling it every which way. And most everyone I talk
to is either like in a high high and like
something is rocking and rolling, or it's like, well, I'm
going to be destitute and nothing's coming together, nothing's going
my way. It is like two sides of this coin,
and both of them are valuable when you're in a
(06:41):
high high, when something clicks, being able to say, oh
my gosh, I'm on the right track, Oh my gosh,
I can't believe that that just happened, or wow, okay,
somebody appreciates me. Whatever it is, when you feel recognized,
That's what I was alluding to. There is I feel
recognized by multiple friendships. Friends that can give me wise advice,
(07:04):
relationships that can hold space for me in that way,
friendships who can let me be myself, people who can
make me laugh. I feel seen. I feel recognized, and
can you accept that? Can you receive that? A big
thing A lot of us have going on and I
work on this, are very cognizant of it is we
give we show up, we do, we give, we give,
(07:27):
we push, we drive, and we have a real challenge
on receiving. And so one of the things that you
can do is really be cognizant of your energy field,
unblocking your energy to do that, you know how I
talk about grounding or clearing your energy with epsom salt.
That's a great starting place, but also imagining your aura
(07:51):
bringing it in because our auras right now and this
has come up with a couple of really good clients
of mine. And I said to my friend the other day,
who's a great client, shout out deb I said, Debby
or a in ura in aura in meaning I could
feel her energy field. She gives, she does, she leads.
She is so loving and creative and intelligent. I mean
(08:15):
she just shines. But it's like her energy field, in
her oric field was so far out that it was
catching hitchhikers and stragglers and debris out in the energy
field and emf whatever you want to think of energetic vampires.
She's you know, moss are attracted to the flame. So
think about bringing your aura in and doing it regularly.
(08:36):
And all you have to do is imagine your aura
is like an egg and this is kind of funny, y'all.
Whatever color comes to you first, you know, in your imagination,
and don't take it as you're making it up. Is
it gold, Is it black? Okay? If it's black, laugh okay,
like cause you If that's what you see, black, murky, gunky, brown,
(08:57):
muddy looking stuff, don't be a afraid of that. Just
begin to infuse it with light, beautiful gold, white, diamond,
violet light, whatever works to transmute it. And that process,
which you can do in seconds, is energetically stimulating. It's
activating your imagination, your intuition, the other half of your brain.
(09:18):
It's connecting you with your nonsensory tangible sensory perceptions. The
abilities you have in the imagination is important. So if
your aura is dark, you know, infuse it with light,
cleanse it, clear it, bring it in whatever feels nurturing
and natural to you. It could be beautiful pink. A
lot of times, my go to auric color is this
gorgeous aqua. I just go to aqua very very easily,
(09:42):
and I can believe in the aqua. I can feel it.
I know what it feels like. But first of all,
notice your aura. Notice what color it is, and if
it needs a little spiff it up, spiff it up
in that moment. If it's already bright, brilliant and loving,
whatever energetic creative, go with that. But bring it in
about six to eight inches around your body like an
(10:04):
egg shape, and just inhale and exhale and do it
literally like inhale and exhale as you bring your aura in.
But also when you inhale and exhale, almost see it synergistically,
like it's pulsating, it's radiating, it's like contracting and expanding simultaneously.
(10:24):
And yes, this will help with love. We're gonna get there.
I promise you. We're going to talk about love because
these things are important in the energy field. And I'm
noticing all of our auras just keep getting farther and
farther out, and we need to bring them in. And
it's not about protection. I don't love the word protection.
I very rarely use it because protection invokes I need
(10:44):
protecting from I'm afraid of something, so I usually use
the word safe. I've used the word safe for a
long long time. I am safe, I am clear, I
am clean, I am in my energetic field, all aspects
of me are here now? Where is your power now?
Where is your higher power now? I have a really
(11:06):
great spiritual mentor, and that's what she says is where
is God? God is now? And that's what I'm saying.
Where is your power now? Where is your light now?
Where's your joy now? Where is your pain now? Where's
your sorrow now? It's about being present and if there
was ever a time to really get clear and present,
even if you don't like what's coming up, Because I
tell you what, I don't like what's coming up for me.
(11:28):
Half the time I can have a breakthrough, amazing moment
and all this positive stuff coming at me, and then
the next thing, you know, I'm worried about my bank
account and then I get stuck in that. I'm like,
I'm not making enough, I'm not earning enough. Oh my gosh,
I'm stressed out here. It's just the human nature and
it's me going into this small ego space, this fear space.
And guess what, I know that if I stay there
(11:51):
too long, that's what's going to basically permeate my point
of attraction. And that's the signal I'm sending out to
the field. So that's what motivates me to clear it
out fast. And if there was a word for this year,
because it keeps coming up over and over and I'm
practicing it myself, it's resiliency, meaning when I feel afraid,
(12:12):
I'm worried, I don't have, I'm afraid I don't have,
I can't do, I'm not enough, I'm exhausted, all of
those feelings. The world is against me, it's not fair.
Don't people get it? Anger, any of those things. If
I can notice it, become aware of it, then I
(12:34):
can resiliently move through it, process it, acknowledge it. And
the simplest way to do that is identifying your emotion.
The emotional intelligence this year is important, and it's really
going to be important in March, all right, Buckle up.
March is emotional. So get on track now with some
(12:55):
of this stuff and get clear now because the now,
remember that's where your power is. In the now is
next week's next month. Excuse me is going to feel sloshy,
and emotions are going to be important to gauge your
temperature on. But for now, noticing when you feel low
or low or thinking low, small, little, and be able
(13:16):
to say, what is this? What is this feeling what
am I experiencing? And am I willing to heal it?
Am I willing to feel it? Am I willing to
hold space for it for a few seconds to process
through my body? A very simple practice that I love.
When I'm feeling heavy or low, or angry or sad
and I'm acknowledging it and I'm willing to process it,
(13:38):
I think doing something physical to mimic and move it
through your physiology and your biology, your tangible, literal body
is a very astute practice. So what I do, whether
it's anger or sadness, I will say, oh, that's sadness,
and I'll feel it for a minute. I'll feel it.
I'll just let myself be so, I'll close my eyes,
(14:00):
I'll breathe, and I'll give it just a little bit
of space first, and then a lot of times it's
very easy, and this isn't part of the practice, to
notice where you're feeling it in your body. Where is
there tension? Is it in your shoulders? Is it in
your jaw, your lower back? Is it in a knee,
an ankle, your fingertips? See if you can notice any
sensations in your body, and just bring your attention there,
(14:23):
and like we were talking about with infusing beautiful light
into your auric field, do the same. Use your breath
and almost send your energy like a laser beam into
that space, and it's like permeating every cell in your
Let's say it's your shoulder and you've got tension in
the shoulders because you're carrying the weight to the world
on your shoulders. Notice that, and just infuse this breath
(14:47):
of light. And I love when I'm doing healing energy
that way. I do it with Emerald green because that is,
of course of the heart chakra. It also resonates with Raphael,
the archangel, who is the angel of healing. So it's
like I'm calling in Rafael energy. I'm checking in with
my heart space. It's unconditional, it's loving, it's expansive, and
(15:08):
I'm sending it into all those little dark places that
are itchy and painful and crunchy and contracted, and I
just infuse it in. And then after that, here's the practice.
I will literally squeeze my fist, like squeezing my fist,
I'll squeeze my jaw, I'll squeeze my body and I
always say this, don't pop a blood vessel like squeeze, squeeze,
(15:29):
squeeze and hold it for about three or four seconds
and then let it release and you'll feel the blood
rush back through your body. So I'd encourage you not
to do this when you're driving or operating heavy machinery.
This would be really great when you're sitting in a
chair at home so you don't pass out. And then
you repeat it two more times. So squeeze, squeeze, squeeze,
pull all the energy and pull it. Make it really tense,
(15:50):
maybe even bring your your shoulders up to your ear.
Squeez squez, squeeze, and then release, and you can just
I feel I'm doing it now. Obviously you can tell
I feel that blood rush back through my body. And
then when I do it a third time, when you
do it a third time, squeez, squeeze, sqeeze, hold, hold,
and then I release, it's like whoo, I'm kind of
(16:11):
sweating right now. My body temperature change. I feel light headed.
While you do that, you can also say, and this
is just an add on. You don't have to do
anything but the physical act of it, and repeat it
three times. It's very cleansing. It acknowledges the lower vibrational
stagnant energy, whether it's showing up in sadness, grief, pain, irritability,
(16:33):
self pity, whatever it may be, self doubt. That's a
big one that's coming up, and I'm gonna answer a
question about that. Shortly, squeeze and hold it in. You
can also say things like anger, pain, fear, frustration, I'm
so annoyed, this is awful. Oh it's terrible. It's terrible.
And then you release it and you let the blood
run back through. And after you've done it your third time,
and you feel totally zoned out and out of it,
(16:55):
your energy already feels like it's in the quantum field
because your body does the blood is doing stuff. The
heart's contracting, the organs, the muscles, and then blood is
being filtered back into all the places you restricted it from.
Your blood is really really empowering. And by doing that,
then after that, in that third time, that's when you say,
I am available for love, I am healing, I am open,
(17:19):
I am clearing out any low vibrational energies and tapping
into something greater high or show me help me. I'm ready,
I'm open, I'm willing, I am love, i am kindness.
I am beauty, I am abundance, I am success. Whatever.
You can use your iams. You can ask for help,
you can say thank you, thank you, thank you. You
do what comes to you. That's part of your magic.
(17:39):
You make it practical, you make it yours, and you
make it big, you make it expansive. That is a
great practice to practice anytime, but right now it feels
really imperative. I got a great question from a client
and a listener. I got a break question from a
(18:02):
client and a listener, Cindy. She says, how do you
find your self worth in the journey to your goal?
Brilliant question, Thank you, Cindy, because it so relates how
do you find your self worth through your self doubt?
And you know I talked about that earlier this month,
and hello, I'm raising my hand. I have felt a
(18:24):
bajillion forms of self doubt this month, and it's that
resiliency of recognizing the self doubt. So finding yourself worth
in the journey to your goal, your aim, your vision.
Notice the self doubt, We sometimes notice that much easier
than we do the joy or the alignment. So go
with it. Okay, why can't I do this? Why don't
(18:47):
I think I'm able to do this? But finding your
self worth relates back to two things, beliefs and values.
Beliefs are a little bit easier to comprehend. Values are
more hardwired. So start with your beliefs. What do I believe?
What do I believe is possible? What do I believe
I am capable of? Why do I believe in this goal,
(19:10):
this aim, this vision? Why do I believe it is
part of my mission, my journey? Why is it on
my heart? Why do I believe it's on my heart?
So start to clarify what you believe and why you
believe around your goal, because the belief will help with
instilling a more resilient, stronger empowered sense of self worth.
(19:33):
It's all about clarification. Let me get clear on the
belief around this goal, and then let's go a step deeper,
which this is a little bit more challenging and layered,
But get into your values. How does this goal, this
aim relate to what I value? And in order to
relate it to what you value, got to know what
(19:54):
you value. So here's my trick on values and values
are important. The clearer you get with what value value
relates to self worth directly. I value myself. I am worthy,
I am valuable. So if you know what you value
and then you can relate it to your aim or
your goal, you're getting on track. You're clarifying and strengthening
(20:17):
your point of attraction. And that's what we've talked about.
This is a year where your point of attraction it
will shift and change and become stronger, lighter, and more vibrant.
So with values, the clearest way for me to understand
my values is to understand what I don't value. And
usually when you interact with someone or some experience that
(20:39):
really hacks you off, that is an indication of what
you don't value in order to determine what you do.
If something really fundamentally, it's not just an irritation you
can let go of or accept, like if you can't
accept someone's behavior. So this is not about pointing fingers
(21:00):
at someone else. This person is wrong, they're not right,
they don't know what they're doing. This is not about
judging and taking someone's inventory. And this stuff is all
going to relate to March, by the way, because we're
going to be in a two universal month, which is
all about what am I learning through the other. So
this is a big setup into this. But if you
can recognize, okay, what about that person's behavior hacked me
(21:24):
off to my core? Were they disrespectful? Did they blow
me off dismissiveness? Did they make me feel small? Did
they not appreciate my time? Did they act like I
was stupid and not intelligent? It's really getting serious and
taking the person out of the equation because this is
(21:46):
not about them. This is about you. It's about behaviors
that clash against your energy field, are misaligned with your
vibrations or your values. And so if it is, are
they really insecure because they're behaving that way, Like I'm
pointing a finger right now as I say that, And
then you say, wait a minute, the way that they
are behaving is creating insecurity in me? Or they are insecure?
(22:10):
So what do I value? I value security? What do
I value not disrespect? I value respect, authenticity and inauthenticity.
It's like when you see someone on social media and
we've all done this and we know that they are
really struggling in life or they have a lot of
Let's say somebody is in a really dysfunctional romantic relationship
(22:33):
and all they post over into Instagram is that they're
so happy in love and life. Oh my gosh, we've
all seen that. And you know what, it's not a
place for us to judge them. It's a place for
us to realize, Oh, that's so inauthentic, Like that's not true.
I value truth because that is dishonest, or this is inauthentic.
(22:56):
I value authenticity. So take the people out of the equation, y'all.
We all have enough on our plates. We don't need
to judge anyone because we're already judging ourselves. Bring it
back to your point of attraction and what is it
that is clashing so you can determine the value. So, Cindy,
great question. How do you find self worth in the
journey to your goal? Clarifying your goal, clarifying your beliefs,
(23:22):
clarifying your values, and then becoming very willing to look
at the converse of that. So, if you're clarifying your values,
noticing relationships people who show up who are not aligned
with your values, and it's not about getting mad at them,
but maybe you need to set a new boundary, or
maybe you don't go grab coffee with them if you
(23:43):
feel this horrible frustrated, angry way. Every time you do,
you bust up a pattern. So looking for the patterns
that are misaligned with your beliefs and your values, and
that will actually help you propel you forward, open new
doors towards the goal, towards the aim, because you're clearing
(24:04):
energy that is misaligned with the meaning of your goal.
The meaning you're why, why why do I have this goal?
Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel
I'm capable? And the more you clear out where you
are incapable, you know and that it seems to just
be disjointed and get clear. It's all about clarity. So
(24:27):
keep going. Feel the self doubt or the disempowerment. That's
that's a huge cornerstone that you're actually on track for
the energy of the eight. But the attitude around it is, WHOA,
I feel disempowered? What am I going to do about that? Okay,
I'm going to sit here and I'm going to identify
the emotional component, the fear, the feeling, whatever resonates with you,
(24:48):
and then I'm going to process it and maybe you
do the practice that I just suggested, clenching your fist
and really engaging with an irritating low vibrational frequency, letting
it physically. It takes eighteen to twenty one seconds to
process an emotion, a feeling, or experience, and most of
us bypass. We shove down and then it blows sideways
(25:08):
or we deny it, and then it builds residue, and
then it weakens our point of attraction. Everything is about
confronting what you're afraid of. Where are you getting your
own way and your limitations in order to experience abundance
and expansion. And how does all of this relate to
love and Valentine's Day? Well, we talked about lots of
different forms of love. And if you listen to the
(25:31):
podcast I did with Elizabeth and we talked about self love,
it's a few episodes ago. We'll put a link in
the description to that episode. If you missed it, please listen.
Because what came through on my end, but really on
her end, was wise. I know I've repeated this already,
but the favorite thing that came out of that energy
(25:53):
and that expression from her is I don't want this
time to end. I'm falling in love with myself and
I'm not ready ready for it to end. That is
a magical, magical place, because it's like I am letting
go of other people creating love for me. Love initiates
from within, Love initiates from something higher. If I want
(26:15):
to experience love, if I am looking for my person
and I am exhausted, it makes me think of that
Sex and the City episode with Charlotte when she's like,
I'm just so tired. I've been doing this since I
was for twenty years. I can't remember how to quote it,
but you know, she's like, when is he coming? Like
I'm so tired, and then we all know in Sex
and the City her true love showed up in the
(26:38):
most unlikely of places and through a divorce and through
this guy that she didn't think was attractive at first,
and he ended up being the total love in her
whole story through Sex and the City and whatever the
next part of it, and just like that, you know,
so there's something too, holding on so tightly to a
(26:58):
very linear concept of life love and saying when I
fall in love, then I'm going to be happy. When
I find my person, then I'm going to be happy.
Or I have this exact idea of who I want
and this laundry list and they're going to appear well,
you're setting yourself up for failure first of all, because
you're setting all these expectations and expectations around love really
(27:20):
make it difficult. And is any of this stuff easy. No,
it's food for thought and how it applies to you.
But in my experience when it relates to romantic love
and what I've seen with so many clients, we have
to get out of our own way and we have
to take the focus off of the determination to find
love because it's what it's doing is it's perpetuating fear.
(27:42):
And then we go into a smaller space of ego
that goes into a lack consciousness of I don't have,
I'm not going to have, and you keep unconsciously reinforcing
when is it coming. I'm never going to have my person.
They're never really coming. But I'm very clear I want
a person who does this, who looks like this, who
has this kind of job, who may may not have
children or has always been single. Like it's really good
(28:04):
to get clear about what you want. Do not get
me wrong, I just talked about clarity. I think it
is wonderful to sit down and write down the attributes
of a person you are looking for. And the best
way to write down attributes of a person as a
romantic partner, a partner in life that you are looking
for is to look at your friendships that do work,
that are healthy. Who are the relationships in your life
(28:24):
that help you feel whole? And we're coming back to this,
this is where I started, is who are the people
that bring out qualities in you that help you feel safe,
help you feel like yourself abundant and light. Look at
those attributes and those are the attributes you want to
attract in another. And here's the kicker to that, and
here's where the work is and the dedication is if
(28:47):
I want a partner who is grounded and consistent, okay,
I want someone who's grounded, who is a clear communicator,
and they're consistent. Those are three things that a lot
of us would like and I think a lot of
us can relate to. So someone who's grounded means they're present,
they're available, they are giving you their attention undividedly, they're listening,
(29:10):
they are aware, they're self aware. So that grounded, solid
earthy energy where they are present. That okay, So presence, grounded,
a clear communicator that they say what they mean, they
mean what they say, They communicate things to you, they
tell you how they're feeling. So they have all those
forms of healthy, mature communication, authentic, honest, straightforward communication. Because
(29:33):
I know for me, if somebody can just shoot straight
with me, I do better. Right, And someone who's consistent,
who shows up, who follows through, who's there, who will
just be a foundational space. So guess what. If I've
identified those three things, then it is imperative that I
(29:54):
see where I am practicing those things with myself. If
I want someone who is grounded, if I want to
attract in a vibrational energy that matches mine, who is
grounded and present? Am I grounded? Am I present? Am
I aware of when I'm not grounded? When I'm not present?
How am I practicing that with myself? I know I
(30:15):
can be sitting in a group or in a room,
and I can be listening and seemingly present, and I
can be disassociated in three other places and having a
whole dialogue with myself or taking people's inventory or board
or looking at my phone. That's not grounded energy. So
if I am repeating that behavior, that attitude, that action,
transmitting that signal over and over again. And I want
(30:36):
to attract someone into my life who is grounded. Then
I'm sending the universe mixed signals. The work begins within.
I have to say, wait a minute, Amanda, you're in
this meeting and you're picking up your phone, or Amanda,
you're driving to the grocery store and you keep wanting
to grab your phone or change the channel on the radio.
Ten times, are you grounded or you present? So you
(30:56):
can look at ways where your behavior is not mimicking
what your goal is. This relates back to the goal
or what you're wanting in a partner. Clear communication, honest communication,
healthy mature communicator. Am I clearly communicating with myself? Is
my inside voice matching my outside voice? How do I
(31:16):
speak to myself? Am I clear, honest and authentic when
I'm having a bad day? Am I fussing at myself
for having a bad day? Or am I okay to say?
You know what, Amanda, you're having a rough day to day,
maybe you take a couple of things off your plate.
Or maybe Amanda, you tell somebody you're having a bad
day and you ask for help instead of being in
your own head and trying to micromanage it. How can
I practice honest, mature, clear communication with myself and with
(31:41):
other people in my life? Goes back to the being
grounded thing. When I'm having a conversation with someone, am
I off in my own little world thinking about myself
or waiting to respond? And I do this all the time,
Like I am totally telling on myself. No, I want
to be a good listener. Being grounded means being present,
being a good listener. How do I actively just that?
And the more you actively practice the things that you
(32:03):
are looking for in love. And this isn't just about
romantic love. It's about friendship or family or your coworkers,
anyone in your life, your children, your children. Like I
know the parents out there relate in learning how to
communicate with their children because children today they just they
face a whole multitude of things that a lot of
(32:23):
us didn't face, and they have energies and different ways
of communicating, and they are special and unique and they
have a lot of meaning and purpose that has not
broken through yet. So parents learning to healthily communicate and
hear and listen to their children this is a big
one and it's a big form of love. So communication,
How am I communicating with myself? And then the third
(32:43):
one is consistency. The third one is consistency showing up consistently.
And I'm just giving these as arbitrary examples because these
are a lot of things that a lot of us
relate to and we appreciate in healthy relationship, healthy connection
that relates to love and partnership and romance as well.
(33:07):
But consistency, Am I being consistent with myself? Am I
showing up on time? Am I being consistent and accountable?
If I tell someone I'm going to meet them and
then something comes up, am I resolutely saying, Hey, I
said I was going to meet you, but I've got
a couple of things and I really I don't think
I can rearrange this. Can we reschedule or I'm sorry
to change this last minute? So if you absolutely have
(33:29):
to change plans? Being accountable, communicating well that both of
those kind of go hand in hand. But also consistency
with yourself. Am I willing to be consistent in my
spiritual practices, my health and wellness practices, the way that
I show up in life for people? What does consistency
look like for you? Maybe it's just a fitness routine.
(33:50):
Maybe it's in the food that you eat. Maybe consistency
is in making your bed and brushing your teeth. Hey,
it doesn't have to be big. Find where you're inconsistent
in life and pick one place you're inconsistent and start
practicing consistency that way. What you're doing is whatever vibration
you are craving, and it's a multitude of vibrations. Like
(34:11):
using these examples, recognizing where you are not harnessing your
point of attraction that way and practicing it, that will help.
And as far as just love and romance, for anybody
out there who is really struggling on partnership and love
and romancing, you've been hurt or betrayed, or you're jaded,
like that happens, y'all. We are human. Relationships are hard
(34:35):
and messy and complex and layered, and they evolve. Relationships evolve.
If you've been in a marriage a long time and
you're like, how do I get back on the same
page with my partner? This person has grown, I've grown,
this person has changed, I've changed. How do we get
on the same page. So whatever you're looking for in love,
it starts within. And I know that's so boring, and
(34:59):
it totally does start within and I have seen this
in people and I've practiced it myself. But it's also
really clearly recognizing you are worthy of receiving love. And
do you remember how I talked about our aura and
that we are givers and we go and we do,
and we show up and we do life, and we
(35:20):
give and we give, and then we have this really
hard time. Receiving love is a two way street. So
you can emit love and you can send love out,
and you can be service oriented and kind and sharing
your heart and your soul and your talents and your time.
But are you allowing people to share their time with you?
Are you allowing people to support you? When you're out
(35:42):
in the world and somebody says, oh my gosh, those
shoes are fabulous. Do you say, ah, these I got
them from TJ Max and they were on sale, or
do you say, oh my gosh, aren't they so fabulous?
I love them too, thank you. I literally retrained myself
that way around people and compliments and superficial compliments as
an element of learning to receive and open up my
(36:05):
energy field. So when somebody says you just look so
great today. And it's funny because I'm thinking to myself,
oh my gosh, I've just had a terrible day, or
I am exhausted, or I'm just not in the mood,
and you think I look cute, And it's not about
me being anauthentic. It's about me being willing to say,
oh my gosh, thank you for that, and I will
(36:25):
go a step beyond. And this is not because I
don't have healthy boundaries. This is actually because I want
to learn to receive as reciprocally as I give and
show up so that abundance because it's an abundance loop.
This has to do with money too, By the way,
this has everything to do with finances and money. It's
all interconnected. Love, money, it's all the same, it's all
(36:49):
in the same soup. So when somebody says, oh my gosh,
you look so cute today, or you just look so light,
or it's always a pleasure to see you, and I'm
on the inside like, yeah, if you only knew, I
will say, you know what, like, thank you for that,
because I'm having a tough day and you just lifted
up my spirit and saw something in me that I
(37:11):
just couldn't see. I got out of the car yesterday.
I was at pilates and this amazing woman that I've
met in pilates, and she's in her sixties and she's
just I know, she was a hot ticket when she
was younger, because she's a hot ticket now. But she
was a stewardess. Okay, not a flight attendant. This is
when like stewardesses were stewardess. She was a stewardess. She
(37:31):
did commercials for the airline. She had Go Go boots.
I mean, y'all can imagine blonde hair, cute as a bug, sexy,
all the things. And this woman she is just fun
and cool and hip, and she wears the coolest sunglasses,
the coolest clothes. She just lights my day. But anyway,
I get out of the car. I mean we had
just put the dog to sleep, you know, like I'm
(37:51):
like grieving, just feeling off. I'm kind of exhausted. And
I get out of the car and she sees me
in the parking lot and she's there, you are. I
was just talking about you with one of my friends
and I was saying that this cute little girl that
I have met in pilates and then she goes on
and I just said, can you can I hug you
(38:12):
right now? And she says, well, of course, and she
gave me this big hug. And then she's like, can
you take this necklace off of me? Because I just
can't get it with my fingernails, And so like I
hugged her, I took her necklace off. We chit chatted,
and then she starts pouring out some stuff that's going
on in her life and some stuff in relationships and
related to love and her husband of thirty seven years
(38:34):
and how they're not on the same page and and
do I provide sessions for couples? And I was like,
I do, and let's talk about that and let me
know how I can support you. That was amazing, But
I'm like, she doesn't know how much she infused life
into my energy field, but I let her. I let her.
So opening up your receptivity, allowing people to love you
(38:57):
and see you and recognize you and recip brickly harmonize
with you is as important as clarifying and working on yourself,
clarifying what do I want and love? How am I
practicing it. It's also allowing people and it can be
perfect strangers, perfect strangers a lot of times will recognize
us and recognize things enough we may not be able
(39:19):
to see in ourselves, and the question is are you
capable of receiving it. Another simple way to think about receptivity,
and I share this often too, is when somebody reaches
out and I have space to respond to emails, and
I've got some emails to respond to today, so they're coming.
But if they say thank you so much for this
or here's what I learned, instead of just giving this blanket, oh,
(39:40):
you're welcome, I'm so glad because it's easy for me
to say that and not really receive it. So I
will literally read the email and I will sit for
about thirty seconds and I will say received. I am seen,
I am appreciated. I supported someone through my gifts and
my talents. I provided support. Oh, I am worthy, I
(40:01):
am valuable, I am on track, I am recognized, I
am seen. So I'm unblocking that receptivity. I am consciously
receiving it. And you can go a step further. Because
we were talking about your physical body and your energy field,
you can open up the deeper cavern in your heart.
You've got the green that is associated with the heart chakra.
And even deeper than that is this beautiful pink, like
(40:22):
a rose quartz crystal. So you have this emerald green.
And then the inner cavern of the heart, the inner
cavern of the heart chakra is delicate, baby pink. It's
soft and it's gentle. And so I can go into
that space and I close my eyes and I breathe,
and I hear the words and the sentiments and the
time that someone took to reach out and communicate. I
(40:45):
want to respect that. That's also one of my values
is respect. And of course I've been disrespectful and rude
or dismissive or all of those things, but disrespect. When
somebody's disrespectful to someone else, somebody diminishes or is respecting
or dismissive to me, it takes me to a small space.
It hacks me off, It makes me sad, it makes
(41:06):
me feel inferior. It questions all of my gifts and talents.
I mean, I know a cornerstone for me is respect.
So also when somebody reaches out to me and they
say thank you, I think, wow, I want to respectfully
receive what they are saying and let me breathe this
and feel this, and I'll take it from the green,
the gentle, gorgeous emerald green, into the pink essence of
(41:28):
my heart. So in closing and thinking about love and
thinking about your self worth, your value, whether it's in
attaining your goals, achieving your goals, moving forwarding your goals,
if it's around love and relationships romance. First of all,
it's recognizing you are worthy and if you can dream it,
(41:53):
you can manifest it. And I'm not talking about pipe
dreams that you don't believe in, But do you really
believe you're worthy of love, sustainable partnership, someone who finishes
your sentences, or is there for you when you have
a rough day, lastly, in terms of love, And I
think this is so valuable and important for me. I
(42:17):
know that when it comes to love, partnership and romance,
I can have a mental connection, an emotional connection, or
a physical connection, but a spiritual connection is really important
for me. And it's what do I believe? What do
I know? And the other person does not have to
believe what I believe or how I believe, or translate
(42:38):
it or see it through their lens the way that
I do. But are they seeking Are they searching? Are
they open? Are they curious? Are they open to my beliefs?
Am I open to their beliefs? So the element of
spirit a spiritual connection. You know, do you finish someone's sentences?
Do you say, oh, my gosh, I was just thinking
about that. You know, those kind of things where you're
on the same frequency and you notice that stuff together
(42:59):
and you can laugh about it or be amazed by
it noticing. What does a spiritual connection look like for
you in romance, in love, in partnership? Do you have
a spiritual connection with your coworkers? And I'm not talking
about muddying boundaries and getting weird with people, but I'm
going to tell you something. I was talking about my team.
I was talking about the podcast team, and you know,
(43:23):
my executive producer and our sound engineer, I have a
spiritual connection with them. We not only respect and appreciate
each other and know each other's talents, and where everybody
can fill in the gaps and be the glue where
we all are cohesively working in tandem for the same goal,
with the same mission. We all are open, spiritually and
(43:43):
connected and see each other in this higher vibrational light,
or we help support each other when the other one
is down, and there is something spiritual to that this team.
So where is your spirituality in your life? How does
it show up in your relationship, whether their work relationships,
romantic relationships, family. You may have a family that is
(44:07):
not open spiritually, that may have very dogmatic beliefs or
is limited in their spirituality, and yours is more expansive.
There might be more religious and dogmatic, and you're opening
up to new truths and gifts. That's okay. We each
are entitled to our own beliefs and belief systems and
our own divine timing of when things happen and when
(44:27):
we open or when we don't open. But you can
still find some sort of deeper, meaningful connection in that sense.
So just think about these things and how you're bringing
your spirituality into love and into yourself and into all relationships,
because that will help you on your path. That will
(44:48):
help you with your empowerment this year. That will certainly
help cast your fishing net a little bit wider when
it comes to love. That will certainly help because the
more contracted we are, the more we limit and ourselves
in I'm very excited to share the next couple of
podcasts with you. Next week we have a listener reading
(45:09):
and session and we talk a lot about love giving
and receiving, and especially around her children and holding space
for children as they grow and bloom and where they
are in different stages. So it relates so clearly to this.
It adds in another element of really holding space for
children's creative self expression and eliminating some of the worry
(45:30):
and the doubt and the fear within so you can
feel more free and loving and less scared and afraid
or confused or in self doubt around relationships. So next
week is great. It's a session with a gal named Natalia,
and I'm super excited to share that with you. And
then after that, I'm just having to buckle myself up
for this because I'm so excited. I've got a gentleman
(45:52):
named Stuart Pierce and you can google him. You can
look him up now, Stuart Pierce or his other website
is the Angels of Atlanta. And if you already know,
you know, but this is a divine dream come true,
and we will talk about angels arch angels. He is
an emissary of light. To me, is this embodiment of
the divine on earth, and when we're talking about love,
(46:14):
he is this other worldly expression of love and divinity
that adds another layer into us being loving souls here
to express the majestic, the mysterious, the spiritual realms. And
his story and his background is incredible. Let me just
drop a hint around him, because you should look him up.
(46:35):
He was Princess Diana's voice coach, very very close to
Princess Diana. If you remember her store, I mean, of
course you remember her story, but you know that she
didn't know how to speak publicly. She didn't know how
to use her voice. Stuart held space for her to
do that. That's what he does. He also did the
same thing with Margaret Thatcher. He did the same thing
with Mary and Williamson, lots of other people. But he
(46:57):
also has this gift of channeling arch angels, the angels
of Atlantis, and I cannot wait to share his gifts,
his energy, his voice connecting with your true register, your
true voice, speaking from your highest most divine octave. That's
(47:18):
what he's going to share with us. So stay tuned, everybody,
be well, Strengthen your oric field, pull it in. Be
the embodiment of love your beliefs and your values. Be
willing to practice that, strengthen that, grow that, clarify it,
heal it, and also receive. How can you practice receiving
this week in little interactions or in bigger ones? How
(47:41):
can you stand and receive? And let me just close
on this note, because it's coming up and I feel
like if I don't share it, I'll be leaving something
behind that's important. Sometimes receiving means hearing something we don't
like or we don't want to hear criticism, constructive criticism,
and that stuff is so valuable. Well, it's not easy,
and we take it personally. But when somebody tells you
(48:04):
a hard truth, like you know what that may be Amanda.
You may be in a lot of self righteousness right now.
When you have those people who will reflect back to
you things that you may not like or love or
be proud of in yourself and your actions and behaviors,
can you receive that and then can you become willing
(48:26):
to heal it? Or if somebody's just rude in the car,
Let's say, in traffic, somebody's just rude and flips you
off or honks their horn, you don't have to take
their stuff and receive that into your energy field. But
can you resiliently say, oh, you know what, I didn't
do anything wrong. Okay, maybe they're having a bad day,
or maybe they don't know where they're going, or somebody's
(48:46):
rude at the grocery store, like, whatever it may be.
You don't have to take on and receive other people's
miss but you can notice it, not take it personally.
And then if you choose to go higher, you breathe
and you beam them back whatever it is they need
from spirit, from Source, from their higher self, from God,
from their gods. Hey, hey God, hey Source, hey Soul,
(49:09):
beam them some love. Because it's not my responsibility to
do it. I'm not going to take on their stuff,
and I'm going to keep walking with my heart open
and my head held high. All right, everyone be welcome,
