.9It's the debutante, with London Bambi, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, debutante.
Yo, what's up, rock stars? Welcome to another episode of The Hood, Zev Utah, podcast with me, your host, London Bambi.
(01:04):
And today we're diving into a concept that has shaped the way humans understand.
for thousands of years.
We're talking about the triunity of the body, soul, and spirit.
Now, if you've ever wondered what makes you who you are, this episode is going to break it all down.
We're going to explore how your body.
Soul and spirit are three distinctive yet interconnected parts of your being, each with its own role, purpose, and unique influence on your life.
17
00:01:34,59.999 --> 00:01:46,490
By the end of this episode, you'll not only understand how these three parts work together, but you'll also discover how nurturing each one can help you live a more balanced, empowered, and purposeful life.
(01:46):
So grab your notebooks.
Clear your mind and let's jump into the world of the body, spirit, and soul.
I kind of got the order mixed up.
Now before, I fully jump in, I want to say this episode was going to originally just be me touching on the difference between The soul versus the spirit because I come to find out a lot of times people use the two interchangeably so they kind of just It's hard to actually notice the difference people Think the soul is the spirit and the spirit is the soul or they kind of use them in the same sense But there are distinctive Parts each one have its own identity.
(02:29):
I want to clear that up, but I also realized right before I started to Record this episode that I need to talk about the full triunity and I need to start with the most familiar part of it, which is the body.
Now, your body is the physical part of you, the flesh, bones, muscles, and organs that allow you to move, breathe, and experience the world.
(02:53):
.999It's the vessel that carries you through life, allowing you to see.
Here taste, touch and smell without your body.
You wouldn't be able to interact with the world around you.
.999I always say the body is like a spaceship landing on earth in order for you to interact with the energies here.
You are able to breathe like the trees give off oxygen and you know, we all work together.
29
00:03:16,645.1 --> 00:03:19,285
If, if, if you kind of get what I mean, I'm, I would digress.
(03:19):
.999So I'm not going to go deep into that, but I want you to think of your body.
Okay, you know, let me not use a spaceship.
Let's say, I want you to think of your body like a car.
Just like a car needs fuels, maintenance, and proper care to run smoothly, your body needs food, water, and sleep and exercise to stay healthy.
(03:40):
.999When your body is well cared for, it feels strong and energetic.
But if you neglect it by eating poorly, not getting enough rest, or ignoring stress, Your body will start to break down, but here's the thing.
Your body isn't just a machine.
It's deeply connected to your soul and your spirit.
38
00:03:59,234.999 --> 00:04:07,994.999
Every physical sensation you experience, whether it's the warmth of the sun on your skin or the rush of adrenaline during a thrilling moment affects your soul.
(04:08):
and spirit.
Likewise, your thoughts and emotions can directly affect your body.
Think about how when you have stress, how sometimes that could cause you headaches or how when you have a joyous moment, it can make you feel light and energized.
This is why taking care of your body isn't just about looking good.
43
00:04:25,574.999 --> 00:04:30,855
It's about creating a healthy environment where your soul and spirit can thrive.
(04:31):
Now, here's something important.
Your body is temporary.
Unlike your soul and spirit, which many believes are internal, your body exists only for this lifetime.
But while you are here, it plays a crucial role in shaping your experiences.
Your physical senses allow you to explore the world, build relationships, and create memories.
(04:51):
In this way, the body acts as a bridge between the physical world and your inner self.
So to sum it up, your body is the vessel that allows you to experience life.
It connects you to the physical world and plays a key role in your overall well being.
But it's only one part of who you are, because beneath the surface lies a soul and a spirit.
(05:14):
Now, let's talk about the soul, the part of you that holds your emotions, personality, and experiences.
If your body is the car, then your soul is the driver, the one making the decisions, feeling emotions, and experiencing life ups and downs.
Think of your soul like a treasure chest inside you.
(05:34):
It holds all the things that makes you you.
Your memories, your dreams, fears, desires.
When you feel happiness, sadness, love, or anger, that's your soul reacting to what's happening around you.
But unlike your body, which is tied to the physical world, Your soul exists on a deeper level.
.999It's the part of you that can reflect on your experiences, learn from your mistakes and grow as a person.
61
00:06:00,969.999 --> 00:06:02,010
Here's an example.
(06:02):
Imagine you're standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out at a breathtaking sunset, your body sees the color and feel the breeze on your skin, but the feeling of all you experience.
That's the deep sense of wonder and beauty that comes from your soul.
Similarly to you listening to a song that moves you to tears, it's not just your ears hearing the music, it's your soul that's responding to its emotional depth.
(06:27):
The soul is also where your sense of identity lives.
It's what makes you, you.
Separate you from anyone else.
Even if you had the exact same body as someone else, your soul would still make you unique.
.9This is because your soul carries the lessons and experiences that shape your personalities, beliefs, and values.
But, unlike the spirit, which we'll talk about next, the soul isn't always perfect.
(06:50):
.999It can be wounded by trauma, weighed down by negative emotions, and influenced by the ego.
This is why personal growth often involves healing the soul, letting go of past pain, forgiving yourself and others, and rediscovering your true essence.
73
00:07:04,854.999 --> 00:07:11,365
When your soul is healthy, you feel emotionally balanced, confident, and connected to your true self.
(07:12):
.001So to sum it up pretty much guys your soul is your essence the part of you that feels thinks and remembers it carries your life Experiences and shape your identity, but it can also be wounded and needs healing to reach its full potential now Let's shift our focus to the spirit the part of you that connects you to something greater than yourself If your body is the car, and your soul is the driver, then your spirit is the compass, guiding you towards your highest purpose.
75
00:07:42,360.001 --> 00:07:47,320
Unlike the soul which is shaped by your personal experiences, the spirit is universal.
76
00:07:47,400.001 --> 00:07:50,650.001
It's the part of you that exists beyond time and space.
77
00:07:50,700.001 --> 00:07:54,330.001
The eternal spark of divine energy that connects you to the universe.
78
00:07:54,660.001 --> 00:08:00,630.001
While your soul can be wounded or confused, your spirit is always pure, whole, and unbreakable.
79
00:08:00,820.001 --> 00:08:04,410.001
It's like a flame that never goes out, no matter how dark life gets.
80
00:08:04,900.001 --> 00:08:09,330.001
Think of your spirit as a beam of light shining from the center of your being.
81
00:08:09,520.001 --> 00:08:16,310.001
This light connects you to everything around you, the trees, the stars, other people, and even the divine.
82
00:08:16,735.001 --> 00:08:21,935.001
When you feel a deep sense of peace, love, connection, that's your spirit shining through.
83
00:08:22,25.001 --> 00:08:29,95.001
It was, it's what allows you to experience moments of profound insight and intuition and spiritual awakening.
84
00:08:29,905.001 --> 00:08:30,905.001
Here's an example.
85
00:08:31,675.001 --> 00:08:36,15.001
Imagine you're standing in a forest surrounded by tiring trees.
86
00:08:36,305.001 --> 00:08:44,905
As you listen to the sound of the wind and feel the earth beneath your feet, you suddenly feel a sense of oneness, as if you're connected to the entire world.
(08:45):
.001That feeling doesn't come from the body or your soul.
.001It comes from your spirit.
89
00:08:49,545.001 --> 00:08:53,845.001
It's the part of you that recognizes the divine presence in all things.
90
00:08:53,905.001 --> 00:08:55,315.001
I've had this happen to me.
91
00:08:55,690.001 --> 00:09:18,390.001
A few times when traveling, and it happens to me most often when I am in nature, and that's why I use the forest, because one time I was staying, I believe I was in Guadalupe, and I was staying on top of this like mountain, looks like volcano, and I remember looking out at, um, the trees and all the greenery, and I just really felt connected to the world and Earth.
92
00:09:18,400.001 --> 00:09:34,85.001
It also happened when I was in Matera, which is pretty much the mountains, and I stayed in a cave, and you just look out, and I just seen It's All this stone, but I just remember feeling really, really connected to the world being just in a mountains and being around so much nature.
93
00:09:34,115.001 --> 00:09:46,205.001
It happened to me again when I went to Panama, I think I was, yeah, I got to Panama and I was taking a boat to, um, Bocos, Bocos de Torres, I believe is the part of Panama I went to.
94
00:09:46,565.001 --> 00:09:49,605.001
And when I was just going through the ocean surrounded by water.
95
00:09:49,995.001 --> 00:09:55,315.001
I felt that peace and I felt like I was a part of all things.
96
00:09:56,765.101 --> 00:09:57,895.101
here's the challenge.
97
00:09:58,125.101 --> 00:10:02,345.101
While your spirit is always shining, it can be blocked by the noise of daily life.
98
00:10:02,605.101 --> 00:10:08,45.101
Stress, fear, and negative thoughts can create barriers that make it harder to feel your spirit's presence.
99
00:10:08,515.1 --> 00:10:14,95.101
This is why spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, and mindfulness are so powerful.
100
00:10:14,375.101 --> 00:10:19,145.101
They help you quiet the noise and reconnect with your spirit, wisdom.
101
00:10:19,675.101 --> 00:10:27,655.101
So to sum it up, your spirit is the divine spark within you, the part of you that connects you to the universe and guides you towards your highest purpose.
102
00:10:28,35.101 --> 00:10:30,605.1
Unlike the soul, it doesn't carry wounds of fear.
103
00:10:30,775.101 --> 00:10:34,405.1
It's always pure, whole, and full of love.
104
00:10:35,175.101 --> 00:10:42,845.101
Now that we've explored the body, soul, and spirit, let's talk about how they all work together to create the full experience of being you.
105
00:10:44,385.1 --> 00:10:48,125.1
I'm gonna have you use your imagination again because I kind of use these metaphors.
106
00:10:48,125.101 --> 00:10:50,990.101
I think it helps People to understand.
107
00:10:51,0.101 --> 00:10:54,850.101
So hopefully it's not getting on your nerves, forgive me.
108
00:10:54,850.101 --> 00:10:58,700.101
But this time I want you to imagine you're a musician playing a guitar.
109
00:10:59,170.101 --> 00:11:01,600.101
The guitar itself represents the body.
110
00:11:01,860.101 --> 00:11:04,120.1
It's the physical tool you use to create music.
111
00:11:04,470.101 --> 00:11:09,480.101
The way you strum the strings, the melody, rhythm, and the style that represents your soul.
112
00:11:09,730.101 --> 00:11:15,660.101
The part of you that express emotions and creativity, but the inspiration that guides your music.
113
00:11:15,780.101 --> 00:11:18,320.101
The feeling that moves through you as you play.
114
00:11:18,520.101 --> 00:11:24,410.101
Now that's your spirit without any one of these parts, the music would not be complete.
115
00:11:24,460.101 --> 00:11:28,130.101
So I hope you guys are getting it in everyday life.
116
00:11:28,580.1 --> 00:11:31,770.101
The three parts of your being consistently interacts.
117
00:11:32,160.1 --> 00:11:42,980.101
Your body allows you to experience the world, your soul process, the experiences and shapes your identity and your spirit provides a sense of purpose and connection.
118
00:11:43,750.101 --> 00:11:46,830.101
Here's an example of how they all come together.
119
00:11:47,870.102 --> 00:11:51,660.102
Imagine you're standing on a beach watching the waves crash against the shore.
120
00:11:52,70.101 --> 00:11:55,750.102
Your body feels the sand between your toes and a breeze on your face.
121
00:11:55,780.102 --> 00:12:04,370.102
Your soul feels a sense of peace and wonder as you take in a beauty around you and your spirit whisper that you are a part of something greater.
122
00:12:04,650.102 --> 00:12:15,440.102
That the same forces that moves the ocean also moves with Okay, when all three parts are in harmony, you feel balanced, confident, and at peace.
123
00:12:15,480.102 --> 00:12:19,830.102
Your body is healthy, your soul is fulfilled, and your spirit is shining brightly.
124
00:12:20,120.102 --> 00:12:28,610.102
But if one part is neglected, if your body is tired, if your soul is wounded, or if your spirit is disconnected, you can start to feel lost or unwell.
125
00:12:28,970.102 --> 00:12:33,630.102
This is why true well being requires nurturing all three parts of yourself.
126
00:12:34,300.102 --> 00:12:38,510.102
Now, now that I went into the body.
127
00:12:38,945.102 --> 00:12:40,505.102
The soul, the spirit.
128
00:12:40,555.102 --> 00:12:44,275.102
I want to kind of You know, give you guys some tips.
129
00:12:45,525.102 --> 00:12:50,345.102
Lately, I've been giving tips as to how to nurture your soul, your body and your spirit.
130
00:12:50,345.102 --> 00:12:50,775.102
All right.
131
00:12:51,55.101 --> 00:12:58,505.101
So before I wrap this up, here are some practical ways to nurture each part of your being so you can live in more balance and fulfill life.
132
00:12:58,755.101 --> 00:13:02,865.102
So to nurture your body, I want you guys to try your best to eat nourishing food.
133
00:13:02,880.102 --> 00:13:04,580.102
foods that fuel your energy.
134
00:13:04,750.102 --> 00:13:10,620.102
Stay active with exercise that you enjoy and get plenty of sleep and allow your body to rest.
135
00:13:10,650.102 --> 00:13:17,30.102
My new thing for as far as rest is I try to be in bed by 10 30 now and I've been doing well.
136
00:13:17,80.102 --> 00:13:20,510.1015
I can be better with, eating more nourishing foods, but I'm getting better with that.
137
00:13:20,890.1015 --> 00:13:25,110.1015
As far as being active, I'm always active now to nourish your soul.
138
00:13:25,130.1015 --> 00:13:32,590.1015
I need you to start reflecting on your thoughts and feelings through journaling, whether you need to do it the the first thing in the morning when you wake up or before you go to bed.
139
00:13:32,920.1015 --> 00:13:35,910.1015
Also spend time with people who uplift and support you.
140
00:13:35,940.1005 --> 00:13:38,180.1005
I'm trying to do that a little bit more now as well.
141
00:13:38,500.1015 --> 00:13:43,650.1015
And express yourself through creative activities like art, music or writing.
142
00:13:43,650.1015 --> 00:13:48,320.1015
Trust me, these things really heal the soul now to nurture your spirit.
143
00:13:48,840.1015 --> 00:13:49,830.1015
It's really important.
144
00:13:49,840.1015 --> 00:13:58,210.1015
You practice meditation and or prayer to connect with your inner self, spend time in nature to feel the presence of the universe.
145
00:13:58,210.1015 --> 00:13:59,340.1015
It doesn't have to be big.
146
00:13:59,350.1005 --> 00:14:03,620.1015
You don't have to plan a trip to the grand Canyon or, you know, hike a forest.
147
00:14:03,650.1015 --> 00:14:06,620.1015
You can start with your local park or just sit under a tree.
148
00:14:06,620.1015 --> 00:14:07,820.0015
You recognize that you.
149
00:14:08,180.1015 --> 00:14:10,60.1015
You feel comfortable with like I'm a tree hugger.
150
00:14:10,60.1015 --> 00:14:11,340.1015
I would hug a tree.
151
00:14:11,340.1015 --> 00:14:38,115.1015
I feel like I have a connection with Also show kindness and compassion to others knowing that we are all connected Trust me when you put out it definitely comes back Remember, you don't have to do everything at once as well Every small step like taking a deep breath expressing gratitude or helping someone in need Can help you feel more aligned with your body soul and spirit Alright, I don't want this episode to be too long.
152
00:14:38,115.1015 --> 00:14:41,425.1015
I'm getting good at, you know, coming, finding that perfect balance.
153
00:14:41,455.1015 --> 00:14:57,705.1005

And remember this, these are your takeaways.
155
00:15:00,495.1005 --> 00:15:03,995.1005
Your body is the vessel that allows you to experience the world.
156
00:15:04,145.1005 --> 00:15:09,5.1005
Your soul is the essence of who you are shaped by your thoughts, feelings, and memories.
157
00:15:09,15.1005 --> 00:15:16,765.1005
And remember, your spirit is the divine spark within the light that connects you to the universe and guides you towards your highest purpose.
158
00:15:17,85.1005 --> 00:15:21,465.1005
When you nurture all three, you create a life that's full of energy, passion, and meaning.

If there's anything on there that you like, I hope it was inspirational this episode I hope you guys learned something.
173
00:16:13,210.1005 --> 00:16:25,920.1005
I know you have to really use your imaginations and I used a lot of metaphor but it really really was to help you really understand the difference between the body, the soul and the spirit.
174
00:16:25,920.1005 --> 00:16:30,600.1005
Because for the longest time, I really didn't know until I really got into spiritual practices and works.
175
00:16:30,910.1005 --> 00:16:33,790.1005
And then I'm like, okay, these are the distinct differences.
176
00:16:33,790.1005 --> 00:16:38,540.0995
And if I don't know this, then most people probably don't know this either.
177
00:16:38,550.0995 --> 00:16:41,270.1005
Or a lot of people, I can't even say most, because I don't know what you know.
178
00:16:41,500.1005 --> 00:16:43,620.1005
I know most of us know about the body.
179
00:16:44,5.1005 --> 00:16:50,655.1005
But the spirit and the soul, we kind of use interchangeably, and we can't do that.
180
00:16:51,255.1005 --> 00:16:52,105.1005
All right, guys.
181
00:16:52,175.1005 --> 00:16:53,285.1005
I love you.
182
00:16:53,355.1005 --> 00:16:58,265.1005
And remember, remember, stay true, stay bold, and keep shining.
183
00:16:58,705.1005 --> 00:17:03,595.0005
