Charlotte J (01:47):
I am so excited today.
To be joined by Siri BarucThornton.
She is a Reiki master teacher,transformational breathwork
facilitator, Akashic recordguide and host of the top 3%
globally ranked podcast, TheAuthentic Creative: Expanding
(02:09):
Our Capacity to Feel Good.
With over 26 years ofexperience, Siri helps spiritual
entrepreneurs, mothers andcreatives reclaim their energy,
reconnect with their truth, andembody their gifts fully.
One breath at a time.
(02:30):
Through her work at Sage andBlush Wellness, Siri weaves
energy healing, storytelling,and embodied spirituality into
powerful experiences that helppeople expand their capacity to
feel good and to live, lead, andcreate from that place.
Oh my goodness.
I love that.
(02:51):
Welcome, Siri.
Siri Baruc Thornton (02:52):
Thank you.
I love your energy and yourenthusiasm.
What a beautiful introduction.
Charlotte J (02:59):
It's funny because I think that was one thing that
I was attracted to you from thebeginning is your energy.
You have this beautiful, smilingface, and I know for listeners,
they can't see that,
Siri Baruc Thornton (03:12):
they'll feel it.
They feel it.
They'll feel it.
Charlotte J (03:14):
They'll definitely feel it.
So Siri.
Tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
I am intrigued by your name, ifyou care to share that and who
you are.
Oh, thank you so much.
My name was given to me by ayogi in the Sikh, Kundalini.
(03:37):
Yoga Ashram that I was born inat home in the Ashram and Siri
is an Indian Sanskrit name.
It means great.
I was given a choice when weleft the ashram, the commune,
when I was like two or three tobe named Sarah or something like
that.
(03:57):
And I apparently wanted to keepSiri, not knowing, that years
later, Siri would become ouriPhone and pal.
And of course I have to tellpeople like, put your phone in
another room when I'm doinginterviews, if you don't want
somebody else talking to you aswell.
So it's become a thing.
(04:18):
But I will say that I don't haveto explain how to say my name as
often as I used to.
So there's that.
There's that.
Wow.
That's so fascinating.
So it sounds like, and justexplain for me so that our
listeners really understand, youwere living in a ashram, yeah.
So it was a group of.
(04:40):
Gosh, I don't even know how manypeople, but let's just say maybe
a hundred at the most, maybeless.
I need to ask my parents that ofdedicated yogis that were in a
very strict kind of spiritualcommunity and did yoga and read
(05:02):
Sutras and chanted and prayedand then worked in the community
together just imagine if youwent to a yoga class and then
you started going to that yogaclass every single day.
And then a bunch of the peoplein the yoga class were like,
let's all live together and bereally strict about being yogis.
And it sounds like that's reallyimpacted your life now with
(05:24):
being the Reiki master and howyou're moving forward in life
now.
Siri Baruc Thornton (05:30):
Yeah, it's an interesting beginning because
I don't really know much aboutit other than what I've been
told.
'cause I, we left when I was soyoung.
But I will say that my parentswere always seekers.
So they always were on aspiritual path.
My dad kind of went into theHollywood entertainment
producing and distributingHollywood film direction for
(05:54):
many years, but he still kind ofdid yoga and he still studied
meditation and mindfulness alongthe way.
But my mom was really a biginfluence'cause I mostly lived
with my mom.
And she became a Reiki masterbecause she had these
debilitating migraine headachesand just was mostly in bed.
(06:15):
And so she.
Started practicing Reiki on me,and then that as an angry
teenager, was melting my heartopen, and I just really loved it
ultimately and started teachingwith her alongside her.
And then eventually she wasteaching alongside me and the
classes I would lead eventually.
(06:37):
And so that was really abeautiful thing for me to
witness close up from home, youknow, to have that be such an
integral part of my growing upand, uh, it always was with me.
And it's always been a way thatI've been able to serve others
spiritually, mentally,emotionally, and physically.
(06:58):
So that's a beautiful gift to beable to have a superpower, which
we all have this superpower to,to allow people to come into a
space of homeostasis so thatanything spiritually, mentally,
emotionally, physically thatthey're needing can come to them
from their own authority, fromtheir own body's wisdom.
Charlotte J (07:19):
I love that you say that because I think, and maybe
for people listening who arethinking, oh, maybe this episode
is not for me because we'regoing down another route.
But I think you bring up a greatpoint that we all have this
within us.
We all have this inner knowing,and it is accessible to
(07:39):
everybody.
I think as children, we reallyfeel that we are in tune with.
That and then for so manydifferent reasons throughout our
life, we lose touch and we startto second guess ourselves.
And so I love that you saidthat.
Yes, keep listening.
There is a lot more juicinesshere.
(08:00):
And of course, we have tomention pickleball because this
is, yes.
Pickleball and partnership,whether that's with somebody you
are playing with or it'spartnership with yourself, but I
know you reached out to me andsaid, I'm going to try
pickleball.
I'm going to play it.
Have you,
Siri Baruc Thornton (08:19):
I've only been sending you videos of
pickleball toys and games that Ifound at Michael's, there is
literally an entire section atMichael's craft store.
So Michael's is pretty mucheverywhere.
Right.
Do you guys have Michael's inCanada?
Charlotte J (08:38):
We do, yes.
Siri Baruc Thornton (08:39):
Okay.
If you go into Michael's rightnow, the whole checkout line is
all pickleball.
Like key chains and stickers andlittle pads and everything you
can imagine.
Notebooks it is a thing and mydad is a pickleball player and
loves it.
Okay, so do I get a little freepass because of my dad?
Charlotte J (09:02):
You definitely have a free pass.
There's definitely thatconnection there.
I love all those photos andvideos you sent me, and I'm
going to go and check that out.
And maybe Michaels could sponsorthis podcast too.
That would be fun.
Siri Baruc Thornton (09:16):
Yes, yes.
Love that.
I, I will, I will.
I will.
I will.
Charlotte J (09:20):
I really would encourage you to just because I
know you will love it.
Everybody will love it.
Everybody should try it.
Try it once if it's not for you,that's okay.
Siri Baruc Thornton (09:30):
I like ping pong, which is like a mini
version I.
Charlotte J (09:33):
You know, ping pong helps ping pong, badminton,
tennis, and chess.
Siri Baruc Thornton (09:38):
I do like badminton.
Charlotte J (09:39):
So it's all a combination of those.
And then before we move into, I,have some pickleball energy
questions that I really want toget your perspective on.
I have to talk about the link.
You have a link with Canada,which is where I am, but you
also have a link with England,which is where I'm from, so I'd
(10:02):
love to hear about that.
Siri Baruc Thornton (10:04):
Yes, so I grew up just under Quebec, so a
lot of my friends would just forfun, like go up into Quebec when
we were growing up.
And then when I was in mytwenties, I was in Saskatchewan
and Regina filming.
'cause I was a professionalactor most of my life.
And then I also filmed inLangley which is outside of
(10:27):
Vancouver.
As well as in Vancouver.
So several times I've filmed inCanada and all of my Canadian
friends that are, whetherthey're in the film business or
not in the film business.
It is so true.
For lack of a better word,cliche that Canadians are
genuinely friendly people.
Just nice people.
(10:48):
That has been my experienceacross the board.
I don't think I've met a Notnice Canadian ever.
So now I live Five hours southof Vancouver, so I'm just
outside of Portland in CamasWashington.
And then in terms of theconnection to England, my
husband that I've been with foralmost 17 years is.
(11:11):
British and grew up there, andwe've spent so many trips going
to, Richmond, outside of Londonand lots of time in London.
And now his mom, is in a towncalled Taplow.
We are connected on so many moreways than we even realize, So I
want to talk a little bit about,well, I want to talk a lot about
(11:34):
your experience and what you'redoing right now.
But I was thinking about thisand I think, there are moments
when I'm playing pickleball andI find myself, I'm not thinking,
I'm just moving.
It's like my body knows what todo before my conscious brain
(11:54):
catches up with it.
It's almost like that animalinstinct, and there's this
momentum and I'm in the zone andit feels such a sacred place to
be, and I may get to the end ofthe point whether I've won it or
not, however it plays out.
And I just feel this incrediblesense of wow amazement that.
(12:20):
I just did that and I didn'thave to think about it.
I didn't second guess myself.
I was just in the flow.
So I'm wondering if you haveexperienced that same kind of
flow when you are practicingReiki, and what does that
version of the zone look like inenergy work?
(12:42):
I love that you have thatexperience, Charlotte, of just
being completely in flow withpickleball, and I can see why
you have such a passion for it,because I think that anything
that gets us completely out ofour head and embodied.
Is one of the best places for usto possibly be our most
authentic self, our mostcreative self, our most aligned
(13:05):
self, our most joyful self, ourmost expansive self, and all of
the modalities that I teach.
I.
Are also always to get into thatexact same feeling that you feel
when you're playing pickleballthat embodied aligned.
You're sourced by source in asense, because you're not
strategizing from your head,you're strategizing, well, not
(13:29):
at all necessarily, but Iimagine that it's all instinct
and I think that is primal andanimalistic and so.
I'll say my favorite modalityalong with Reiki is breathwork.
So both of those things and theAkashic all bring us into a
place of flow, just like whatyou're talking about, that
(13:51):
embodied flow, that wisdom ofsomething higher.
So it's like a simultaneity ofembodied wisdom and then
connection to something greaterthan ourselves.
And I think that's what we allwant.
However, our inroad is, whetherit's pickleball, which, you
(14:13):
know, my dad's a a yogi teacher,meditation teacher, mindfulness
teacher.
He's taken my Reiki classes.
He is taken my breathworkclasses.
He's a, beautiful yogi personloves pickleball too.
And I think it is because it'sjust this energy of also
reciprocity.
Of like, give and take.
(14:33):
So I'll just focus on Reiki fora second.
The beautiful thing about Reikiis that we are not.
Trying to manipulate anything asa Reiki practitioner.
And then as the recipient, therecipient cells recognize this
universal life force flowenergy, this unconditional love
(14:53):
energy.
The cells actually recognize it,and then they relax and they
open.
And this recipient actuallydraws in the energy through the
hands of the practitioner, butit's not the practitioner's
healing energy or life forceenergy actually, that they're
drawing in.
The practitioner is just theconduit, just the crystal for
(15:16):
that higher source energy.
Right?
So the higher source that.
Is just being activated andflowing through, down the crown,
down the third eye, down thethroat into the heart, out the
extension of the heart, down thearms and through the hands into
the recipient's cells.
Those cells open up.
They receive an exactly as muchas they need of that.
(15:37):
Beautiful life force,unconditional love, energy.
And then there's an intelligencethat the body marshals, this
intelligence.
Just like if you, if say youhave a back ache from playing
sports and you take an Advil,you don't tell the Advil, here's
where the pain is.
It has an intelligence and itknows where to go.
(15:57):
So same with Reiki is thisnatural system of energy
healing.
It has an intelligence and thebody knows exactly where to tell
it to go.
The other thing that I thinkyou'll like is this visual
analogy of is imagine sevencups, right?
And those are your seven energycenters or chakras.
(16:17):
And say one of those cups isrepresenting an energy center
and it's depleted, so there'snot a lot of water in it.
The water is the energy.
There's another energy center,another cup that's just
overflowing.
It's overstimulated.
This is another area of yourbody.
What the Reiki does is it sendsmessages to the body to
(16:39):
communicate with itself.
So it can say, oh, here's someextra water over here.
This area needs it.
And so then the messages willsend.
The water down to the depletedarea, and so there's less water
in the overflow and there's morein the depleted area.
And all of a sudden we havewhat's called homeostasis.
That homeostasis allows thebody, mentally, emotionally,
(17:01):
spiritually, physically, to dowhatever it needs to do at its
optimal state.
So if it needs to all of asudden send extra blood cells
and energy to a certain arealike you've hurt your knee, then
that's where that energy isgonna flow and go.
If there's a spiritual orpsychic, energy or block or
(17:21):
somebody else's energy has comeinto the field and stuck there,
it will just naturally start to.
Emanate your energetic fieldmore powerfully in that area and
clear it out.
And this is the beautiful thing,Charlotte, without, like you're
talking about, there's nomanipulation or strategy.
It's just happening.
(17:42):
The beautiful thing about Reikiis there's no manipulation with
it, so it's just naturally goingto occur.
So.
When you see people kind of likedoing quotes energy work and
they're like picking things offof people that's actually not
traditional.
Dr.
Mikao Usui Reiki, that issomething else, but it's because
that's like a, someone analyzingand then like manipulating the,
(18:06):
their energetic field anddeciding.
But with Reiki, it's so zen.
It's just like I am the conduit.
I have pure, clear intentions.
I say my prayer, invoke thisReiki master lineage of teachers
that have had thousands of yearsof relaying this energy and
teaching this energy and,passing this energy down.
(18:29):
I invoke their wisdom, theirenergy, and it just comes
through.
And anyone.
Anyone can do this, and we allalready kind of do it anyway.
It's just, we don't necessarilycall it Reiki, so it's just a
matter of having the curiosityand the intention and then
(18:51):
taking a class from someone youtrust.
Charlotte J (18:53):
I love the idea of homeostasis as a registered
nurse for 37 years.
I get the homeostasis, and Ithink it's interesting that we
can buy into the physical aspectof this.
We all understand.
Stand, you get a cut or a brokenbone and the body repairs itself
(19:14):
and we accept that what we oftenhave more difficulty accepting
that it happens on an energeticlevel as well.
But the body really does havethis innate intelligence.
And, i'm visualizing you as thisamazing vessel that is
channeling energy from sourceand that the person that you are
(19:41):
supporting, I.
Absorbing that energy into theircells, which have an
intelligence of their own andknow exactly what to do with
that energy.
Ugh.
That just, that's delicious.
Siri Baruc Thornton (19:55):
Exactly, and it recognizes it.
Which is so beautiful.
Yeah.
I love that you shared aboutbeing a nurse because we're just
getting to know each other todaya little bit deeper and
energetically, I feel like we'resoul sisters, but that's
beautiful because I was soattracted to my Reiki master
teacher that taught me secondand third and how to teach other
(20:16):
people to be Reiki masters.
This woman, Libby Barnett,because it's not woo, her
approach, it is very practical.
And her book, Reiki EnergyMedicine, which I love and which
is why I chose her as my Reikimaster, is all about integrating
Reiki to hospitals, hospice, andhome.
All about caregivers.
(20:37):
Nurses in particular need this,first and foremost for
themselves'cause caretakers needcaretakers, space holders need
space holders.
But also because simultaneously,whilst you're laying a hand just
gently in a safe way onsomeone's shoulder or on their
(20:57):
arm or holding their hand,because maybe they don't have
anyone else to hold them in thatmoment.
I mean, especially during COVID,right?
Whilst you're doing that andoffering them comfort, you're
receiving it.
You can't give Reiki withoutreceiving it.
Isn't that beautiful?
Charlotte J (21:12):
gives me the chills as you say that.
And I think, the more we canopen ourselves up to receive,
because I think you've hit thenail on the head.
Caregivers, nurses, a lot of us.
The number twos in theEnneagram.
We are helpers.
We are carers.
Mm-hmm.
And we forget how to receive.
And I want to bring up intuitionagain.
(21:34):
I know we touched on it, but Iknow this is something that we
all have and I know this becausefrom a practical perspective,
I've studied for 10 years now,And I have realized that I can
tap back into my intuition.
It always makes me think ofbeing a little girl and going to
(21:55):
the bottom of the garden andtalking to the fairies, or
connecting with, oh my gosh,whatever that was, and we've so
lost.
That and that makes me sad in away, but I feel as though I am,
I'm on a mission perhaps toreally let people know that we
(22:16):
each have this amazing abilityto.
Pick up on information and allthe information is out there.
And I can only speak from beinga woman but I think we get that
gut instinct.
We know when something is off,it doesn't feel safe.
We shouldn't be in a certainsituation.
(22:38):
And if I can also bring it backto the pickleball court as well,
i've been in situations manytimes.
I was last night where we playedand the score was so close and I
just felt that tension in mybody and I had to really remind
myself, take a breath.
(22:59):
Tune back into my senses, touchmy paddle, feel the sun on my
skin, really absorb what's goingon around me.
What's there in the environmentthat can nourish me, reset
myself.
Take a breath and then groundmyself.
Sometimes I know where the ballis going, or I know what my
(23:23):
partner is going to do.
I have this real.
Sense of what's going to happennext.
So when you are working withsomebody energetically, is there
a similar sense of intuitiveguidance you are receiving
information before it arrivesperhaps logically
Siri Baruc Thornton (23:44):
Oh my gosh, you're so amazing.
I love this.
So just imagining you playingpickleball just makes me so feel
so joyful in myself, and sodropped in.
That's first of all.
Second of all, you're remindingme of these moments when I've
played other quotes, sports.
So mini golf we played recently,and it is so spiritual.
(24:06):
I'm not a sports person, I'm atheater kid, but when I've
played sports, it is such aspiritual act because getting in
that alignment of, you know,needing to get your putter ready
and then getting the ball intothe hole.
When I do well, it's because Iam in a meditative state.
(24:27):
I am at one with the ball.
I'm talking to God.
I am just visualizing the ballgoing in, right?
And then when I've playedarchery in the past, and there's
this really fun video where myhusband was videoing me.
We were in Lake Arrowhead and wewere doing archery, and I just
had this.
Perfect shot and it went rightinto the bullseye.
(24:49):
And I know I remember rightbefore that shot I was lining up
with like angels, mastersteachers, God guides, all of it.
I was just like, yes.
And I was in total Zen spiritualalignment flow.
And that was the bullseye.
And I think so many athletes.
That's why they're goodbasketball players, pickleball,
(25:11):
tennis players, like whateveryou name the sport, they're good
because they're so practiced atbeing in flow.
And how do we be in flow iswe're in alignment.
We're meditative, we're sourcedby something bigger than
ourselves.
We're at one with ourselves,we're at one with the universe.
And all of those things happen.
(25:31):
When I'm doing Reiki, whenanyone is doing Reiki, that's
what we're putting ourselves in.
We're putting ourselves in thatzen space of letting go and
letting God, letting go, andletting masters.
Just the surrender, like youwere just talking about, of just
like being present.
Mm-hmm.
I actually.
(25:51):
Of course want for the highestand best good, but I don't have
an agenda when I'm doing Reiki,which is what's so beautiful
about it, is I just give it overhighest and best.
Good.
So the intuition is.
More about like, how long am Igonna spend on this person's
(26:12):
head with when I'm doing ahands-on session?
You know, am I gonna then moveafter three minutes or 10
minutes?
There's that sort of intuitionand that is listening with your
hands.
And that's a skill that takespractice.
And I think there's a sense oflistening with your hands when
(26:33):
you're doing pickleball.
And so it's not a strategy, it'sa listening.
their body and the energy willtell me when to move.
and then in terms of intuition,it's interesting the topic of
intuition.
With breath work is that it justbrings us into the natural
(26:56):
rhythm and flow of the wholeuniverse.
So our intuition is a hundredpercent turned on with breath
work, with Reiki and then withAkashic.
When I teach people how to readtheir Akashic records, how to
tap into the wisdom of theirteam on the other side is.
It's all about actuallydiscerning between your
intuition, your everyday sort oflike common sense intuition,
(27:20):
which we all have, and what isthis sort of zoomed out
perspective that we get when weopen the Akashic realm as we get
to see things from like anaerial viewpoint, a perspective
that's not anything to do withour personality or our ego or
what we think we might say ordo.
It's a perspective that's like.
Ultimately for our highest andbest, good, unconditionally
(27:44):
loving, totally understands us,sees us, loves us.
We're so easy to love and justis there's no time.
There's no space.
And just sees that from thatperspective.
So we discern when I'm teachingAkashic, like, what is your
intuition telling you?
And there's overlaps.
There's overlaps between ourintuition and the Akashic
Wisdom.
(28:05):
Like similar, but just told in adifferent way.
This is so fun.
Charlotte J (28:10):
It's, I have so many questions.
I'm just like, oh my gosh.
Tell me more.
Tell me more.
So Akashic Records can youexplain this in.
Simple terms.
Yeah.
So that I can understand, likeyou mentioned team, and I love
the idea of team behind us, butyeah, tell us more about that.
Siri Baruc Thornton (28:29):
Yeah, so a lot of times, we'll
unintentionally tap into theAkashic Realm.
The Akashic Field.
Akashic records all these namesfor it, right?
So unintentionally.
You could be tapping into it andnot even knowing it, but once in
a while maybe you get this hitof a perspective that's a higher
perspective.
That's not from your egopersonality where you're just,
(28:51):
people talk about likedownloading information and I'm
sure Charlotte, you've had thesemoments.
You're such a wise, spirituallyattuned person.
I'm sure you've had so manymoments, whether it was like
when you were younger and youwere talking to the fairies, or
now when you're leading biggroups of women, like you're so
in the zone.
(29:12):
So it's with a prayer and withcertain teachings, you're able
to predictably.
Tap into that higherperspective.
So I was tapping into itunintentionally when I was doing
Reiki.
I didn't even realize that oneof the Reiki symbols taps you
into the Akashic for years.
I didn't know that.
I was like, oh my gosh.
(29:32):
I was teaching a Reiki class andI just was reading to the
students about this symbol andhow it taps you into the
Akashic, and I'm like, oh mygoodness.
So.
It's a way to predictably tapinto infinite wisdom, meaning,
so there's a plasma thatsurrounds every living thing,
(29:56):
and just like we're recordingright now, this plasma is always
recording.
So imagine if you could touchthat plasma, tap into that
plasma access, that plasma'sinformation.
That's one way of understandingit.
And all of this is trying tograsp at something that you just
have to experience, right?
Like trying to describe how ittastes when you eat something.
(30:20):
But the other way ofunderstanding it is through this
prayer and, opening the heart.
And through what are called theeyes of the lords of the
records, there is an accesspoint where you can talk to a
team that is ready and willingto talk to you and only going to
show you what you are ready andwanting to see.
(30:43):
But there is a team of masters,teachers and loved ones, and so
these are entities on the otherside.
That we can't see, of course,but that are there and they
wanna help us and they wannashow us perspectives that we're
ready to see.
And that could be past life lifeinformation, past life
perspectives.
That could be, looking at thevibration of three different
(31:05):
choices you have right now thatcan be looking at future
possibilities as opposed to apsychic reading, which is
sometimes fear-based.
Like oh, I'm so scared what'sgonna happen?
Tell me the whole future.
But actually, as we know, thefuture's not written in stone.
'cause we have free will and wemake these decisions.
Every thought we have, everyaction we take, we're making new
(31:26):
decisions that can lead acompletely different trajectory.
And so we have complete freewill.
But so we can look at all of thepossibilities when we're in the
Akashic are like flung open tous to see, oh, here's what's
possible.
So it's something that's reallybeautifully.
Unique to each person when theyhave a reading or when they're
(31:50):
learning how to open the Akashicrecords because everyone
perceives differently.
I.
So me as a practitioner, Iperceive in so many different
ways.
We won't go into it right now.
My teacher perceives in mostlyjust knowing, like you talked
about, you said, I think, andthen you changed it to I know.
(32:10):
And that knowing is one of themain ways that we can perceive
the Akashic.
Charlotte J (32:17):
Hmm.
Your whole energy, honestly,Siri is presence.
It's that all knowing and thatpresence and that connecting
into something greater thanourselves.
I hear so many people saying.
I'm second guessing myself.
I don't trust myself.
(32:37):
I have this voice that isquestioning these limitless
possibilities that we all have,we all feel that connection to
something greater I feel that.
And when I am most connected tosource universe, divine, you
know whatever our choice of wordis.
(32:59):
For that.
I know that's when I feel mostin alignment.
My energy is in flow.
I feel that peace and that easeand surrender you mentioned
surrender and I think thattranslates into.
All areas of life.
It translates onto thepickleball court.
(33:21):
It translates into myrelationship with others, my
husband, my children, myfriends, the stranger that I'm
yet to meet.
love what you're saying.
It's beautiful.
It really is.
It feels so grounding and again,bringing it to the pickleball
court.
(33:42):
I know when I second guessmyself, maybe when that ball is
flying up in the air and it's onits way down, and I can see
exactly where that ball isgoing, and then.
Another voice comes in and says,Ooh, maybe you shouldn't do
that.
'cause you might miss it and thewind is blowing and it could
(34:03):
take it this way.
And I don't.
And then of course, I mess upthat usually is what happens.
That can also relate into somany different areas in life as
well.
But when I trust myself, eventhe imperfect shots.
Feel right because I have tappedinto whatever that is, that's
(34:25):
greater than me.
What does it mean to you to helpsomebody claim their authority
in a healing space?
And how do you know when someonehas really embodied that shift?
Siri Baruc Thornton (34:42):
Well, like you just said, you were noticing
in me when I was talking aboutthe Akashic is one of the ways
is you just see it in theirface.
You hear it in their voice.
They are embodied, meaningthey're not trying to figure it
out in their head.
I love.
Empowering women to trust theirpower.
(35:07):
I guess that's what the wordempowerment means, it, it's like
getting people to trust theirpower.
There's nothing better thanwomen who are claiming what they
know.
all of these modalities.
Could really be summed up as away of helping people to claim
(35:27):
their power to be their mostexpansive, authentic self so
that they can serve with theirgifts.
And everyone's gifts are sounique to them.
So it's not one size fits all.
Not everyone's meant to be aReiki healer.
Not everyone's meant to be anAkashic practitioner.
Not everyone's meant to be abreath work facilitator or do
(35:51):
breath work.
Of course not.
also, these are inroads togetting to our empowerment, to
getting to that place of.
Trust and just going with thatfirst instinct and knowing that
that's gonna go exactly where itneeds to go.
When I just walk as if I knowthe road is already there in
(36:13):
front of me.
Yeah.
So I love seeing, just like you,Charlotte, I love seeing women
light up.
I love seeing women in theirpower.
I love seeing the way that awoman looks after she's had a
breathwork class.
It's just beyond thegorgeousness because she's just
her full unfiltered, raw, pureself when I first got attuned
(36:41):
when I was a teenager from mymom, the way the masks and the.
Energy.
For me it was anger likecrumbles and sloughs off when
we're connected to our highestand best good.
Like when we're connected totruth.
That's everything.
(37:01):
It's just the most beautifulthing.
And When we are in our mostaligned, authentic, expansive
homeostasis, homeostatic, selfThat's when we're gonna serve
the world the best.
We're gonna be the lighthouse,we're gonna shine, we're gonna
(37:22):
liberate others.
Charlotte J (37:23):
I think I really resonate when you talk about
anger.
For many years I felt so angryabout so many different things.
My mom died when I was in mytwenties.
She didn't get to see me bemarried or my children.
I was very angry about that.
My dad passed away very soonafter my mom did as well, and
(37:48):
there was a lot of anger.
I carried around for a long timeand I really want to share this
because I think it's soimportant for people who feel
like.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to moveforward.
I'm carrying these burdens and Ilove what you say about
(38:09):
connecting to source and thepeace that I feel now, I wake up
every morning like, oh my gosh.
The anger, it just melted away.
And I know that may sound crazyto people, but it honestly, it
did when I connected to.
That higher power, something somuch greater than me and I got
(38:34):
out of my own way.
And I love that you mentionedthere are so many different
vessels.
There are so many differentways, vehicles to get to that
place.
And there's breath work andthere's Reiki and there's yoga
and another thing I want tomention is fun.
'cause when I started to be likea child again and give myself
(39:01):
permission to have fun, and thathonestly was on the pickleball
court, and I was frustratedbecause I didn't know how to
play and I nearly quit, but myhusband said, Nope, let's keep
going.
I love this.
Let's keep going.
And we pushed and we encouragedeach other.
And that's one of the things Ilove about pickleball is the
(39:24):
joy.
It's so playful.
I can be silly.
It's a silly game.
Some people take it veryseriously, but I can be silly
and it brings me back into mybody in the best way possible.
So.
Even when I'm not playing well,I'm still having fun.
(39:45):
Connected to other people,connected to myself, connected
to source.
So, do you think peopleunderestimate the role of joy in
healing work?
Siri Baruc Thornton (39:59):
I mean, we're all just trying to get
back to that little girl who wasseeing the fairies.
It's like they say youth iswasted on the young because when
we're younger, all we wanna dois grow up.
All we wanna do is like be tallenough to ride the roller
coaster.
We wanna be old enough to drivethe car.
We wanna be old enough to go tothe movies by ourself, you know?
(40:21):
And then we get older and all wewanna do is not have
responsibilities and be able toplay and have fun again.
And to be able to take a naplike we were supposed to.
To do, but we didn't wanna dowhen we were younger and we're
like, please, could I just havea nap?
So I think that's a beautifulthing is, and I've been seeing
this meme, I'm sure you've seenit a lot on Instagram of like.
(40:42):
Sometimes the most spiritualthing you can do is have fun,
and I love that pickleballbrings you to that youthful,
joyful place even when you'renot winning.
Because anything that brings youthere, that is the most healing
vibration.
And just being in that vibrationof playfulness and fun and joy
(41:04):
and movement and also likepartnership because it's so much
about partnership and thatcommunication on a nonverbal
level of like you just glanceand they know, and then like
we're working together, we'removing together and we're
cooperating.
And then that kind of puts youon your edge too with having
(41:25):
opponents and getting to reallyhave that fun kind of juice of
like the competitiveness, butalso this along with the
playfulness.
So I think that's so exciting.
You're of course making me wannaplay pickle ball, but definitely
amusement.
Like one of my meditationteachers, Michael Tamora, that I
had for years and years andyears that we used to sit in
(41:45):
meditation for hours and hewould just crack jokes the whole
time.
While we were meditating and itwas all spiritual jokes, but it
was just lighten up.
Angels take themselves lightly.
That's why they can fly.
Right?
So yes, thank you for thatreminder.
I'm just thinking of thehummingbird and how hummingbirds
mean joy and like just tolighten up, that is the most
(42:10):
healing thing we can do forsure.
For sure.
I agree.
Charlotte J (42:14):
And even if it's just dancing round your kitchen.
Yeah.
This is my challenge for today.
Put that song on.
Put it on loud and dance likenobody's watching.
My favorite, my favorite.
Okay.
Okay.
I have a question for you, and Iknow you haven't played
pickleball yet, and you canthink of this in ping pong terms
(42:36):
if you want.
Yes.
If you could play pickleball orping pong with anyone at all,
whether they're.
Living or they've passed on,maybe fictional famous or maybe
personal to you, who would beyour dream doubles partner and
why?
Siri Baruc Thornton (42:57):
Okay.
I don't know any like famouspickleball players.
Maybe you, Charlotte.
Maybe you're my dream pickleballpartner.
Oh, I love that.
Yes.
Let's play together.
We can do that.
You can come up to Canada orI'll come down to you.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
There's a long line of peoplethat I would really like to play
(43:19):
with.
I would love to play with BreneBrown.
I mean she, she is a hardcorepickleball player that I found.
Yes, I heard about that.
Yeah.
Yes.
She was on a podcast and she wastalking about pickleball, she
would be amazing.
I bet she's super competitivetoo.
I think she probably Is she?
Yeah.
(43:39):
I'm visualizing her now.
'cause she said she puts on hercargo pants and I think she said
trucker hat.
She, she's, she means it, shedoes mean it.
But I think we would have funand we'd have some amazing.
Chats on the court of course, Icould be 100% vulnerable with
her I love her book, the Giftsof Imperfection.
(43:59):
mm Yeah.
Yeah.
I love Brene Brown.
Yes.
That's great.
That's a good one.
Charlotte J (44:04):
Yeah.
So either her and then the otherperson that came into my mind,
and you're going to laugh, isPaddington Bear.
That's the Brit in you?
Yeah, it's the Brit in me.
Sure.
Uhhuh?
Yes.
And the marmalade sandwiches.
Yeah.
But I think so quirky, and I canjust see him doing this amazing
(44:24):
backhand.
And then if the opponent if theyannoyed him, he would just stare
at them in that real Paddingtonbed.
Bear stare.
Siri Baruc Thornton (44:33):
Yeah.
Well, I think that we need toincorporate this somehow into
the next Paddington movie.
I mean, if it's not alreadythere, it needs to happen.
Yes,
Charlotte J (44:42):
Paddington Bear place.
We'll send a memo.
Yes.
I love that We have an ideathere, Siri.
Definitely.
It's been an absolute pleasuretalking to you.
And I would love for you to comeback on.
Let's continue thisconversation.
You are hosting a couple ofretreats that are coming up.
(45:03):
Can you tell us about those?
Siri Baruc Thornton (45:05):
Yeah, so we've been talking a lot about
the energy of love and, healing,and that is what I'll be
teaching.
I'll be teaching first andsecond degree Reiki
practitioners, how to be Reikipractitioners.
And I say that because we'realready doing it.
Everyone already is in this flowof energy, and this is just like
a fine tuning.
(45:27):

It's at my home in Camas,Washington, which is 20 minutes
from the Portland InternationalAirport.

We're have, we have a Reiki chefthat's gonna be doing all the
beautiful Reiki infused mealsand teaching us Reiki cooking.
So excited about that, and I'vejust.
(45:49):
Made room for a few more womento come and get that
certification.
So you walk away with thosetools and you can infuse that
into your home, into yourpractice, into your coaching,
into anything that you're doing.
So that's really a beautiful,exciting thing that's coming up.
And then September 29th toOctober 2nd, we're having a
(46:11):
Goddess of Light retreat, whichis like an amalgamation of
transformational breath work,Reiki cacao ceremony, getting in
the hot tub, going on awaterfall hike, having a sound
bath.
We've had private concerts inthe past, I was just crying the
whole time during the privateconcert last time, so that's

(02:51):
Welcome, Siri.
Siri Baruc Thornton (02:52):
Thank you.
I love your energy and yourenthusiasm.
What a beautiful introduction.
Charlotte J (02:59):
It's funny because I think that was one thing that
I was attracted to you from thebeginning is your energy.
You have this beautiful, smilingface, and I know for listeners,
they can't see that,
Siri Baruc Thornton (03:12):
they'll feel it.
They feel it.
They'll feel it.
Charlotte J (03:14):
They'll definitely feel it.
So Siri.
Tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
I am intrigued by your name, ifyou care to share that and who
you are.
Oh, thank you so much.
My name was given to me by ayogi in the Sikh, Kundalini.
(03:37):
Yoga Ashram that I was born inat home in the Ashram and Siri
is an Indian Sanskrit name.
It means great.
I was given a choice when weleft the ashram, the commune,
when I was like two or three tobe named Sarah or something like
that.
(03:57):
And I apparently wanted to keepSiri, not knowing, that years
later, Siri would become ouriPhone and pal.
And of course I have to tellpeople like, put your phone in
another room when I'm doinginterviews, if you don't want
somebody else talking to you aswell.
So it's become a thing.
(04:18):
But I will say that I don't haveto explain how to say my name as
often as I used to.
So there's that.
There's that.
Wow.
That's so fascinating.
So it sounds like, and justexplain for me so that our
listeners really understand, youwere living in a ashram, yeah.
So it was a group of.
(04:40):
Gosh, I don't even know how manypeople, but let's just say maybe
a hundred at the most, maybeless.
I need to ask my parents that ofdedicated yogis that were in a
very strict kind of spiritualcommunity and did yoga and read
(05:02):
Sutras and chanted and prayedand then worked in the community
together just imagine if youwent to a yoga class and then
you started going to that yogaclass every single day.
And then a bunch of the peoplein the yoga class were like,
let's all live together and bereally strict about being yogis.
And it sounds like that's reallyimpacted your life now with
(05:24):
being the Reiki master and howyou're moving forward in life
now.
Siri Baruc Thornton (05:30):
Yeah, it's an interesting beginning because
I don't really know much aboutit other than what I've been
told.
'cause I, we left when I was soyoung.
But I will say that my parentswere always seekers.
So they always were on aspiritual path.
My dad kind of went into theHollywood entertainment
producing and distributingHollywood film direction for
(05:54):
many years, but he still kind ofdid yoga and he still studied
meditation and mindfulness alongthe way.
But my mom was really a biginfluence'cause I mostly lived
with my mom.
And she became a Reiki masterbecause she had these
debilitating migraine headachesand just was mostly in bed.
(06:15):
And so she.
Started practicing Reiki on me,and then that as an angry
teenager, was melting my heartopen, and I just really loved it
ultimately and started teachingwith her alongside her.
And then eventually she wasteaching alongside me and the
classes I would lead eventually.
(06:37):
And so that was really abeautiful thing for me to
witness close up from home, youknow, to have that be such an
integral part of my growing upand, uh, it always was with me.
And it's always been a way thatI've been able to serve others
spiritually, mentally,emotionally, and physically.
(06:58):
So that's a beautiful gift to beable to have a superpower, which
we all have this superpower to,to allow people to come into a
space of homeostasis so thatanything spiritually, mentally,
emotionally, physically thatthey're needing can come to them
from their own authority, fromtheir own body's wisdom.
Charlotte J (07:19):
I love that you say that because I think, and maybe
for people listening who arethinking, oh, maybe this episode
is not for me because we'regoing down another route.
But I think you bring up a greatpoint that we all have this
within us.
We all have this inner knowing,and it is accessible to
(07:39):
everybody.
I think as children, we reallyfeel that we are in tune with.
That and then for so manydifferent reasons throughout our
life, we lose touch and we startto second guess ourselves.
And so I love that you saidthat.
Yes, keep listening.
There is a lot more juicinesshere.
(08:00):
And of course, we have tomention pickleball because this
is, yes.
Pickleball and partnership,whether that's with somebody you
are playing with or it'spartnership with yourself, but I
know you reached out to me andsaid, I'm going to try
pickleball.
I'm going to play it.
Have you,
Siri Baruc Thornton (08:19):
I've only been sending you videos of
pickleball toys and games that Ifound at Michael's, there is
literally an entire section atMichael's craft store.
So Michael's is pretty mucheverywhere.
Right.
Do you guys have Michael's inCanada?
Charlotte J (08:38):
We do, yes.
Siri Baruc Thornton (08:39):
Okay.
If you go into Michael's rightnow, the whole checkout line is
all pickleball.
Like key chains and stickers andlittle pads and everything you
can imagine.
Notebooks it is a thing and mydad is a pickleball player and
loves it.
Okay, so do I get a little freepass because of my dad?
Charlotte J (09:02):
You definitely have a free pass.
There's definitely thatconnection there.
I love all those photos andvideos you sent me, and I'm
going to go and check that out.
And maybe Michaels could sponsorthis podcast too.
That would be fun.
Siri Baruc Thornton (09:16):
Yes, yes.
Love that.
I, I will, I will.
I will.
I will.
Charlotte J (09:20):
I really would encourage you to just because I
know you will love it.
Everybody will love it.
Everybody should try it.
Try it once if it's not for you,that's okay.
Siri Baruc Thornton (09:30):
I like ping pong, which is like a mini
version I.
Charlotte J (09:33):
You know, ping pong helps ping pong, badminton,
tennis, and chess.
Siri Baruc Thornton (09:38):
I do like badminton.
Charlotte J (09:39):
So it's all a combination of those.
And then before we move into, I,have some pickleball energy
questions that I really want toget your perspective on.
I have to talk about the link.
You have a link with Canada,which is where I am, but you
also have a link with England,which is where I'm from, so I'd
(10:02):
love to hear about that.
Siri Baruc Thornton (10:04):
Yes, so I grew up just under Quebec, so a
lot of my friends would just forfun, like go up into Quebec when
we were growing up.
And then when I was in mytwenties, I was in Saskatchewan
and Regina filming.
'cause I was a professionalactor most of my life.
And then I also filmed inLangley which is outside of
(10:27):
Vancouver.
As well as in Vancouver.
So several times I've filmed inCanada and all of my Canadian
friends that are, whetherthey're in the film business or
not in the film business.
It is so true.
For lack of a better word,cliche that Canadians are
genuinely friendly people.
Just nice people.
(10:48):
That has been my experienceacross the board.
I don't think I've met a Notnice Canadian ever.
So now I live Five hours southof Vancouver, so I'm just
outside of Portland in CamasWashington.
And then in terms of theconnection to England, my
husband that I've been with foralmost 17 years is.
(11:11):
British and grew up there, andwe've spent so many trips going
to, Richmond, outside of Londonand lots of time in London.
And now his mom, is in a towncalled Taplow.
We are connected on so many moreways than we even realize, So I
want to talk a little bit about,well, I want to talk a lot about
(11:34):
your experience and what you'redoing right now.
But I was thinking about thisand I think, there are moments
when I'm playing pickleball andI find myself, I'm not thinking,
I'm just moving.
It's like my body knows what todo before my conscious brain
(11:54):
catches up with it.
It's almost like that animalinstinct, and there's this
momentum and I'm in the zone andit feels such a sacred place to
be, and I may get to the end ofthe point whether I've won it or
not, however it plays out.
And I just feel this incrediblesense of wow amazement that.
(12:20):
I just did that and I didn'thave to think about it.
I didn't second guess myself.
I was just in the flow.
So I'm wondering if you haveexperienced that same kind of
flow when you are practicingReiki, and what does that
version of the zone look like inenergy work?
(12:42):
I love that you have thatexperience, Charlotte, of just
being completely in flow withpickleball, and I can see why
you have such a passion for it,because I think that anything
that gets us completely out ofour head and embodied.
Is one of the best places for usto possibly be our most
authentic self, our mostcreative self, our most aligned
(13:05):
self, our most joyful self, ourmost expansive self, and all of
the modalities that I teach.
I.
Are also always to get into thatexact same feeling that you feel
when you're playing pickleballthat embodied aligned.
You're sourced by source in asense, because you're not
strategizing from your head,you're strategizing, well, not
(13:29):
at all necessarily, but Iimagine that it's all instinct
and I think that is primal andanimalistic and so.
I'll say my favorite modalityalong with Reiki is breathwork.
So both of those things and theAkashic all bring us into a
place of flow, just like whatyou're talking about, that
(13:51):
embodied flow, that wisdom ofsomething higher.
So it's like a simultaneity ofembodied wisdom and then
connection to something greaterthan ourselves.
And I think that's what we allwant.
However, our inroad is, whetherit's pickleball, which, you
(14:13):
know, my dad's a a yogi teacher,meditation teacher, mindfulness
teacher.
He's taken my Reiki classes.
He is taken my breathworkclasses.
He's a, beautiful yogi personloves pickleball too.
And I think it is because it'sjust this energy of also
reciprocity.
Of like, give and take.
(14:33):
So I'll just focus on Reiki fora second.
The beautiful thing about Reikiis that we are not.
Trying to manipulate anything asa Reiki practitioner.
And then as the recipient, therecipient cells recognize this
universal life force flowenergy, this unconditional love
(14:53):
energy.
The cells actually recognize it,and then they relax and they
open.
And this recipient actuallydraws in the energy through the
hands of the practitioner, butit's not the practitioner's
healing energy or life forceenergy actually, that they're
drawing in.
The practitioner is just theconduit, just the crystal for
(15:16):
that higher source energy.
Right?
So the higher source that.
Is just being activated andflowing through, down the crown,
down the third eye, down thethroat into the heart, out the
extension of the heart, down thearms and through the hands into
the recipient's cells.
Those cells open up.
They receive an exactly as muchas they need of that.
(15:37):
Beautiful life force,unconditional love, energy.
And then there's an intelligencethat the body marshals, this
intelligence.
Just like if you, if say youhave a back ache from playing
sports and you take an Advil,you don't tell the Advil, here's
where the pain is.
It has an intelligence and itknows where to go.
(15:57):
So same with Reiki is thisnatural system of energy
healing.
It has an intelligence and thebody knows exactly where to tell
it to go.
The other thing that I thinkyou'll like is this visual
analogy of is imagine sevencups, right?
And those are your seven energycenters or chakras.
(16:17):
And say one of those cups isrepresenting an energy center
and it's depleted, so there'snot a lot of water in it.
The water is the energy.
There's another energy center,another cup that's just
overflowing.
It's overstimulated.
This is another area of yourbody.
What the Reiki does is it sendsmessages to the body to
(16:39):
communicate with itself.
So it can say, oh, here's someextra water over here.
This area needs it.
And so then the messages willsend.
The water down to the depletedarea, and so there's less water
in the overflow and there's morein the depleted area.
And all of a sudden we havewhat's called homeostasis.
That homeostasis allows thebody, mentally, emotionally,
(17:01):
spiritually, physically, to dowhatever it needs to do at its
optimal state.
So if it needs to all of asudden send extra blood cells
and energy to a certain arealike you've hurt your knee, then
that's where that energy isgonna flow and go.
If there's a spiritual orpsychic, energy or block or
(17:21):
somebody else's energy has comeinto the field and stuck there,
it will just naturally start to.
Emanate your energetic fieldmore powerfully in that area and
clear it out.
And this is the beautiful thing,Charlotte, without, like you're
talking about, there's nomanipulation or strategy.
It's just happening.
(17:42):
The beautiful thing about Reikiis there's no manipulation with
it, so it's just naturally goingto occur.
So.
When you see people kind of likedoing quotes energy work and
they're like picking things offof people that's actually not
traditional.
Dr.
Mikao Usui Reiki, that issomething else, but it's because
that's like a, someone analyzingand then like manipulating the,
(18:06):
their energetic field anddeciding.
But with Reiki, it's so zen.
It's just like I am the conduit.
I have pure, clear intentions.
I say my prayer, invoke thisReiki master lineage of teachers
that have had thousands of yearsof relaying this energy and
teaching this energy and,passing this energy down.
(18:29):
I invoke their wisdom, theirenergy, and it just comes
through.
And anyone.
Anyone can do this, and we allalready kind of do it anyway.
It's just, we don't necessarilycall it Reiki, so it's just a
matter of having the curiosityand the intention and then
(18:51):
taking a class from someone youtrust.
Charlotte J (18:53):
I love the idea of homeostasis as a registered
nurse for 37 years.
I get the homeostasis, and Ithink it's interesting that we
can buy into the physical aspectof this.
We all understand.
Stand, you get a cut or a brokenbone and the body repairs itself
(19:14):
and we accept that what we oftenhave more difficulty accepting
that it happens on an energeticlevel as well.
But the body really does havethis innate intelligence.
And, i'm visualizing you as thisamazing vessel that is
channeling energy from sourceand that the person that you are
(19:41):
supporting, I.
Absorbing that energy into theircells, which have an
intelligence of their own andknow exactly what to do with
that energy.
Ugh.
That just, that's delicious.
Siri Baruc Thornton (19:55):
Exactly, and it recognizes it.
Which is so beautiful.
Yeah.
I love that you shared aboutbeing a nurse because we're just
getting to know each other todaya little bit deeper and
energetically, I feel like we'resoul sisters, but that's
beautiful because I was soattracted to my Reiki master
teacher that taught me secondand third and how to teach other
(20:16):
people to be Reiki masters.
This woman, Libby Barnett,because it's not woo, her
approach, it is very practical.
And her book, Reiki EnergyMedicine, which I love and which
is why I chose her as my Reikimaster, is all about integrating
Reiki to hospitals, hospice, andhome.
All about caregivers.
(20:37):
Nurses in particular need this,first and foremost for
themselves'cause caretakers needcaretakers, space holders need
space holders.
But also because simultaneously,whilst you're laying a hand just
gently in a safe way onsomeone's shoulder or on their
(20:57):
arm or holding their hand,because maybe they don't have
anyone else to hold them in thatmoment.
I mean, especially during COVID,right?
Whilst you're doing that andoffering them comfort, you're
receiving it.
You can't give Reiki withoutreceiving it.
Isn't that beautiful?
Charlotte J (21:12):
gives me the chills as you say that.
And I think, the more we canopen ourselves up to receive,
because I think you've hit thenail on the head.
Caregivers, nurses, a lot of us.
The number twos in theEnneagram.
We are helpers.
We are carers.
Mm-hmm.
And we forget how to receive.
And I want to bring up intuitionagain.
(21:34):
I know we touched on it, but Iknow this is something that we
all have and I know this becausefrom a practical perspective,
I've studied for 10 years now,And I have realized that I can
tap back into my intuition.
It always makes me think ofbeing a little girl and going to
(21:55):
the bottom of the garden andtalking to the fairies, or
connecting with, oh my gosh,whatever that was, and we've so
lost.
That and that makes me sad in away, but I feel as though I am,
I'm on a mission perhaps toreally let people know that we
(22:16):
each have this amazing abilityto.
Pick up on information and allthe information is out there.
And I can only speak from beinga woman but I think we get that
gut instinct.
We know when something is off,it doesn't feel safe.
We shouldn't be in a certainsituation.
(22:38):
And if I can also bring it backto the pickleball court as well,
i've been in situations manytimes.
I was last night where we playedand the score was so close and I
just felt that tension in mybody and I had to really remind
myself, take a breath.
(22:59):
Tune back into my senses, touchmy paddle, feel the sun on my
skin, really absorb what's goingon around me.
What's there in the environmentthat can nourish me, reset
myself.
Take a breath and then groundmyself.
Sometimes I know where the ballis going, or I know what my
(23:23):
partner is going to do.
I have this real.
Sense of what's going to happennext.
So when you are working withsomebody energetically, is there
a similar sense of intuitiveguidance you are receiving
information before it arrivesperhaps logically
Siri Baruc Thornton (23:44):
Oh my gosh, you're so amazing.
I love this.
So just imagining you playingpickleball just makes me so feel
so joyful in myself, and sodropped in.
That's first of all.
Second of all, you're remindingme of these moments when I've
played other quotes, sports.
So mini golf we played recently,and it is so spiritual.
(24:06):
I'm not a sports person, I'm atheater kid, but when I've
played sports, it is such aspiritual act because getting in
that alignment of, you know,needing to get your putter ready
and then getting the ball intothe hole.
When I do well, it's because Iam in a meditative state.
(24:27):
I am at one with the ball.
I'm talking to God.
I am just visualizing the ballgoing in, right?
And then when I've playedarchery in the past, and there's
this really fun video where myhusband was videoing me.
We were in Lake Arrowhead and wewere doing archery, and I just
had this.
Perfect shot and it went rightinto the bullseye.
(24:49):
And I know I remember rightbefore that shot I was lining up
with like angels, mastersteachers, God guides, all of it.
I was just like, yes.
And I was in total Zen spiritualalignment flow.
And that was the bullseye.
And I think so many athletes.
That's why they're goodbasketball players, pickleball,
(25:11):
tennis players, like whateveryou name the sport, they're good
because they're so practiced atbeing in flow.
And how do we be in flow iswe're in alignment.
We're meditative, we're sourcedby something bigger than
ourselves.
We're at one with ourselves,we're at one with the universe.
And all of those things happen.
(25:31):
When I'm doing Reiki, whenanyone is doing Reiki, that's
what we're putting ourselves in.
We're putting ourselves in thatzen space of letting go and
letting God, letting go, andletting masters.
Just the surrender, like youwere just talking about, of just
like being present.
Mm-hmm.
I actually.
(25:51):
Of course want for the highestand best good, but I don't have
an agenda when I'm doing Reiki,which is what's so beautiful
about it, is I just give it overhighest and best.
Good.
So the intuition is.
More about like, how long am Igonna spend on this person's
(26:12):
head with when I'm doing ahands-on session?
You know, am I gonna then moveafter three minutes or 10
minutes?
There's that sort of intuitionand that is listening with your
hands.
And that's a skill that takespractice.
And I think there's a sense oflistening with your hands when
(26:33):
you're doing pickleball.
And so it's not a strategy, it'sa listening.
their body and the energy willtell me when to move.
and then in terms of intuition,it's interesting the topic of
intuition.
With breath work is that it justbrings us into the natural
(26:56):
rhythm and flow of the wholeuniverse.
So our intuition is a hundredpercent turned on with breath
work, with Reiki and then withAkashic.
When I teach people how to readtheir Akashic records, how to
tap into the wisdom of theirteam on the other side is.
It's all about actuallydiscerning between your
intuition, your everyday sort oflike common sense intuition,
(27:20):
which we all have, and what isthis sort of zoomed out
perspective that we get when weopen the Akashic realm as we get
to see things from like anaerial viewpoint, a perspective
that's not anything to do withour personality or our ego or
what we think we might say ordo.
It's a perspective that's like.
Ultimately for our highest andbest, good, unconditionally
(27:44):
loving, totally understands us,sees us, loves us.
We're so easy to love and justis there's no time.
There's no space.
And just sees that from thatperspective.
So we discern when I'm teachingAkashic, like, what is your
intuition telling you?
And there's overlaps.
There's overlaps between ourintuition and the Akashic
Wisdom.
(28:05):
Like similar, but just told in adifferent way.
This is so fun.
Charlotte J (28:10):
It's, I have so many questions.
I'm just like, oh my gosh.
Tell me more.
Tell me more.
So Akashic Records can youexplain this in.
Simple terms.
Yeah.
So that I can understand, likeyou mentioned team, and I love
the idea of team behind us, butyeah, tell us more about that.
Siri Baruc Thornton (28:29):
Yeah, so a lot of times, we'll
unintentionally tap into theAkashic Realm.
The Akashic Field.
Akashic records all these namesfor it, right?
So unintentionally.
You could be tapping into it andnot even knowing it, but once in
a while maybe you get this hitof a perspective that's a higher
perspective.
That's not from your egopersonality where you're just,
(28:51):
people talk about likedownloading information and I'm
sure Charlotte, you've had thesemoments.
You're such a wise, spirituallyattuned person.
I'm sure you've had so manymoments, whether it was like
when you were younger and youwere talking to the fairies, or
now when you're leading biggroups of women, like you're so
in the zone.
(29:12):
So it's with a prayer and withcertain teachings, you're able
to predictably.
Tap into that higherperspective.
So I was tapping into itunintentionally when I was doing
Reiki.
I didn't even realize that oneof the Reiki symbols taps you
into the Akashic for years.
I didn't know that.
I was like, oh my gosh.
(29:32):
I was teaching a Reiki class andI just was reading to the
students about this symbol andhow it taps you into the
Akashic, and I'm like, oh mygoodness.
So.
It's a way to predictably tapinto infinite wisdom, meaning,
so there's a plasma thatsurrounds every living thing,
(29:56):
and just like we're recordingright now, this plasma is always
recording.
So imagine if you could touchthat plasma, tap into that
plasma access, that plasma'sinformation.
That's one way of understandingit.
And all of this is trying tograsp at something that you just
have to experience, right?
Like trying to describe how ittastes when you eat something.
(30:20):
But the other way ofunderstanding it is through this
prayer and, opening the heart.
And through what are called theeyes of the lords of the
records, there is an accesspoint where you can talk to a
team that is ready and willingto talk to you and only going to
show you what you are ready andwanting to see.
(30:43):
But there is a team of masters,teachers and loved ones, and so
these are entities on the otherside.
That we can't see, of course,but that are there and they
wanna help us and they wannashow us perspectives that we're
ready to see.
And that could be past life lifeinformation, past life
perspectives.
That could be, looking at thevibration of three different
(31:05):
choices you have right now thatcan be looking at future
possibilities as opposed to apsychic reading, which is
sometimes fear-based.
Like oh, I'm so scared what'sgonna happen?
Tell me the whole future.
But actually, as we know, thefuture's not written in stone.
'cause we have free will and wemake these decisions.
Every thought we have, everyaction we take, we're making new
(31:26):
decisions that can lead acompletely different trajectory.
And so we have complete freewill.
But so we can look at all of thepossibilities when we're in the
Akashic are like flung open tous to see, oh, here's what's
possible.
So it's something that's reallybeautifully.
Unique to each person when theyhave a reading or when they're
(31:50):
learning how to open the Akashicrecords because everyone
perceives differently.
I.
So me as a practitioner, Iperceive in so many different
ways.
We won't go into it right now.
My teacher perceives in mostlyjust knowing, like you talked
about, you said, I think, andthen you changed it to I know.
(32:10):
And that knowing is one of themain ways that we can perceive
the Akashic.
Charlotte J (32:17):
Hmm.
Your whole energy, honestly,Siri is presence.
It's that all knowing and thatpresence and that connecting
into something greater thanourselves.
I hear so many people saying.
I'm second guessing myself.
I don't trust myself.
(32:37):
I have this voice that isquestioning these limitless
possibilities that we all have,we all feel that connection to
something greater I feel that.
And when I am most connected tosource universe, divine, you
know whatever our choice of wordis.
(32:59):
For that.
I know that's when I feel mostin alignment.
My energy is in flow.
I feel that peace and that easeand surrender you mentioned
surrender and I think thattranslates into.
All areas of life.
It translates onto thepickleball court.
(33:21):
It translates into myrelationship with others, my
husband, my children, myfriends, the stranger that I'm
yet to meet.
love what you're saying.
It's beautiful.
It really is.
It feels so grounding and again,bringing it to the pickleball
court.
(33:42):
I know when I second guessmyself, maybe when that ball is
flying up in the air and it's onits way down, and I can see
exactly where that ball isgoing, and then.
Another voice comes in and says,Ooh, maybe you shouldn't do
that.
'cause you might miss it and thewind is blowing and it could
(34:03):
take it this way.
And I don't.
And then of course, I mess upthat usually is what happens.
That can also relate into somany different areas in life as
well.
But when I trust myself, eventhe imperfect shots.
Feel right because I have tappedinto whatever that is, that's
(34:25):
greater than me.
What does it mean to you to helpsomebody claim their authority
in a healing space?
And how do you know when someonehas really embodied that shift?
Siri Baruc Thornton (34:42):
Well, like you just said, you were noticing
in me when I was talking aboutthe Akashic is one of the ways
is you just see it in theirface.
You hear it in their voice.
They are embodied, meaningthey're not trying to figure it
out in their head.
I love.
Empowering women to trust theirpower.
(35:07):
I guess that's what the wordempowerment means, it, it's like
getting people to trust theirpower.
There's nothing better thanwomen who are claiming what they
know.
all of these modalities.
Could really be summed up as away of helping people to claim
(35:27):
their power to be their mostexpansive, authentic self so
that they can serve with theirgifts.
And everyone's gifts are sounique to them.
So it's not one size fits all.
Not everyone's meant to be aReiki healer.
Not everyone's meant to be anAkashic practitioner.
Not everyone's meant to be abreath work facilitator or do
(35:51):
breath work.
Of course not.
also, these are inroads togetting to our empowerment, to
getting to that place of.
Trust and just going with thatfirst instinct and knowing that
that's gonna go exactly where itneeds to go.
When I just walk as if I knowthe road is already there in
(36:13):
front of me.
Yeah.
So I love seeing, just like you,Charlotte, I love seeing women
light up.
I love seeing women in theirpower.
I love seeing the way that awoman looks after she's had a
breathwork class.
It's just beyond thegorgeousness because she's just
her full unfiltered, raw, pureself when I first got attuned
(36:41):
when I was a teenager from mymom, the way the masks and the.
Energy.
For me it was anger likecrumbles and sloughs off when
we're connected to our highestand best good.
Like when we're connected totruth.
That's everything.
(37:01):
It's just the most beautifulthing.
And When we are in our mostaligned, authentic, expansive
homeostasis, homeostatic, selfThat's when we're gonna serve
the world the best.
We're gonna be the lighthouse,we're gonna shine, we're gonna
(37:22):
liberate others.
Charlotte J (37:23):
I think I really resonate when you talk about
anger.
For many years I felt so angryabout so many different things.
My mom died when I was in mytwenties.
She didn't get to see me bemarried or my children.
I was very angry about that.
My dad passed away very soonafter my mom did as well, and
(37:48):
there was a lot of anger.
I carried around for a long timeand I really want to share this
because I think it's soimportant for people who feel
like.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to moveforward.
I'm carrying these burdens and Ilove what you say about
(38:09):
connecting to source and thepeace that I feel now, I wake up
every morning like, oh my gosh.
The anger, it just melted away.
And I know that may sound crazyto people, but it honestly, it
did when I connected to.
That higher power, something somuch greater than me and I got
(38:34):
out of my own way.
And I love that you mentionedthere are so many different
vessels.
There are so many differentways, vehicles to get to that
place.
And there's breath work andthere's Reiki and there's yoga
and another thing I want tomention is fun.
'cause when I started to be likea child again and give myself
(39:01):
permission to have fun, and thathonestly was on the pickleball
court, and I was frustratedbecause I didn't know how to
play and I nearly quit, but myhusband said, Nope, let's keep
going.
I love this.
Let's keep going.
And we pushed and we encouragedeach other.
And that's one of the things Ilove about pickleball is the
(39:24):
joy.
It's so playful.
I can be silly.
It's a silly game.
Some people take it veryseriously, but I can be silly
and it brings me back into mybody in the best way possible.
So.
Even when I'm not playing well,I'm still having fun.
(39:45):
Connected to other people,connected to myself, connected
to source.
So, do you think peopleunderestimate the role of joy in
healing work?
Siri Baruc Thornton (39:59):
I mean, we're all just trying to get
back to that little girl who wasseeing the fairies.
It's like they say youth iswasted on the young because when
we're younger, all we wanna dois grow up.
All we wanna do is like be tallenough to ride the roller
coaster.
We wanna be old enough to drivethe car.
We wanna be old enough to go tothe movies by ourself, you know?
(40:21):
And then we get older and all wewanna do is not have
responsibilities and be able toplay and have fun again.
And to be able to take a naplike we were supposed to.
To do, but we didn't wanna dowhen we were younger and we're
like, please, could I just havea nap?
So I think that's a beautifulthing is, and I've been seeing
this meme, I'm sure you've seenit a lot on Instagram of like.
(40:42):
Sometimes the most spiritualthing you can do is have fun,
and I love that pickleballbrings you to that youthful,
joyful place even when you'renot winning.
Because anything that brings youthere, that is the most healing
vibration.
And just being in that vibrationof playfulness and fun and joy
(41:04):
and movement and also likepartnership because it's so much
about partnership and thatcommunication on a nonverbal
level of like you just glanceand they know, and then like
we're working together, we'removing together and we're
cooperating.
And then that kind of puts youon your edge too with having
(41:25):
opponents and getting to reallyhave that fun kind of juice of
like the competitiveness, butalso this along with the
playfulness.
So I think that's so exciting.
You're of course making me wannaplay pickle ball, but definitely
amusement.
Like one of my meditationteachers, Michael Tamora, that I
had for years and years andyears that we used to sit in
(41:45):
meditation for hours and hewould just crack jokes the whole
time.
While we were meditating and itwas all spiritual jokes, but it
was just lighten up.
Angels take themselves lightly.
That's why they can fly.
Right?
So yes, thank you for thatreminder.
I'm just thinking of thehummingbird and how hummingbirds
mean joy and like just tolighten up, that is the most
(42:10):
healing thing we can do forsure.
For sure.
I agree.
Charlotte J (42:14):
And even if it's just dancing round your kitchen.
Yeah.
This is my challenge for today.
Put that song on.
Put it on loud and dance likenobody's watching.
My favorite, my favorite.
Okay.
Okay.
I have a question for you, and Iknow you haven't played
pickleball yet, and you canthink of this in ping pong terms
(42:36):
