Dolores (01:10):
Welcome, Dolores.
Well, thanks, Rose.
I appreciate the invitation andlook forward to what our
conversation is going to unfold.
Rose (01:19):
Yes, and me too.
In just a few minutes that wehad a chance to chat, I already
feel a very strong connection toyou.
I feel that we're very muchkindred spirits here, which I
love.
So let's tell the audienceabout your journey and how you
got to where you are today inyour practice.
Dolores (01:38):
Oh, my goodness.
So you know, everybody hastheir story and mine is pretty
unique to me has their story andmine is pretty unique to me.
I'm just going to give you thecondensed version because
there's a lot more going on.
But I was born an empath,intuitive and highly sensitive
person and I was raised in ahousehold where we were not
allowed to feel, in fact,anything that was painful.
(02:01):
My mom's MO would be ignore it,it'll go away.
And when you say that to anempath, intuitive and highly
sensitive person, it doesn't goaway, it gets bigger.
So I used to tell my mom it was, you know, predating any type
of Western medicine, technologyor advances that we saw in the
(02:31):
70s and 80s, and he picked up ahospital, acquired infection.
So that was pretty much what weconsidered a death sentence in
Western medicine.
Because you, he was in thehospital for over two months and
he was pretty much knocking ondeath's door and by the grace of
God he survived that.
But what had happened at thattime as well, remember, we
(02:51):
weren't allowed to feel in ourhouse or even talk about it.
I really channeled that emotioninto music and I really excelled
at it.
In fact, I was on a trajectoryto become a concert clarinetist
and in the 11th hour I changedover to go into health care and
the pivotal moment with that wasmy dad as I shared with you had
(03:14):
been sick, you know, in the1960s, with his back issue.
Well, every time his immunesystem would get compromised,
that whole sequela of eventswould reoccur.
His immune system would getcompromised, that whole sequela
of events would reoccur.
So between 1970 and 1975, thishappened four different times.
(03:34):
So my childhood was thisemotional roller coaster and I
didn't know, you know my, youknow the male figure in my house
, just, you know, wasn't thereand, you know, not by his choice
but by what you know had beentranspiring.
So there was a lot of movingparts and I feel that that was
really instrumental.
Now, the last time that he endedup with that episode, the CAT
(03:56):
scanner came on board in Westernmedicine in about 1975.
And that was the first piece ofdiagnostic technology, you know
, paving the path for modernmedicine as we see it today.
So they put my dad underneaththe CAT scanner and, lo and
behold, they found where he hadhis infection and their solution
(04:18):
was that he was going to haveto have major back surgery, a
spinal fusion, which in 1975 wasin its neophyte stages of
development.
So it came with a high risk ofeither you could die, you could
be paralyzed, you may get better, you may not get better, and my
mom had had it at that point.
She was at her wits end.
(04:38):
So she started looking at otherpossibilities and remember,
this is 1975, we're not in 1990.
We're Google, or, you know,google, md, search or whatever.
We had newspapers and magazines.
So she picked up a copy of theNational Enquirer, of all things
, and she found an article thatwas being featured of this man
(05:05):
who was a minister from Carroll,michigan, who had the gift of
laying on of hands, and he wasbeing featured because he had
assisted his brother in healingfrom leukemia and he had been
doing this work for about 25years prior.
So since the 1950s this man wasdoing alternative stuff.
Now, remember, this is 1975.
(05:26):
This was considered uber,whacka, quacko, right.
So my dad was like he wasreally the biggest skeptic, my
mom not so much, and he onlyagreed if the surgeon gave his
blessing on it.
So you know, they were in thehospital at the time because my
dad was hospitalized, and so mymom marched out to the nurse's
(05:47):
station and there happened to bethe surgeon.
And so she, you know, sharedwith him I'm thinking about
having this spiritual healercome in and assist my husband
with his, with his healthcondition.
And so the surgeons, you know,at the desk writing doesn't miss
a beat, looks up and says, sure, that's fine, and just
continued doing what he wasdoing.
Mom went back to my dad's room,shared that news.
(06:10):
Not 10 minutes went by.
My mom came back out to thesame nurse's station, same
surgeon sitting there, made theannouncement to the surgeon and
said my husband agreed to havethe spiritual healer come in.
The surgeon stopped what he wasdoing, looked up at her and
said what are you talking about?
I never agreed to that.
So my mom didn't share thatpiece of information with my
(06:33):
father.
And a month later ReverendHolmes was at our humble abode
in Connecticut and my mom flewhim in from Michigan where he
lived.
Flew him in from Michigan wherehe lived, and you know he was
just this very pure, quiet butvery humble type of man and very
observant too.
And I don't know how he knewthis, but my dad had one leg
(06:58):
that was shorter than the other.
So when my dad sat down he saidto my father Joe, put both your
feet up, and sure enough, therewas a one inch gap and he
started saying some prayers overmy father.
Joe, put both your feet up andsure enough, there was a one
inch gap and he started sayingsome prayers over my father.
He touched his belly, solarplexus, his head, crown, chakra,
and you know, three or fourminutes went by.
He said put both your feet up,and they were both the same
(07:18):
length.
In that moment my life changedforever.
I knew that it was my missionto go into health care to bridge
the physical with the spiritualand the visible with the
invisible.
My father started crying like ababy, like I've never, ever
witnessed, and the reverend didmore uh, healing on him about a
(07:39):
half an hour more and then hewas instructed to go lie down
and rest Because, as we know,when you do massive energy work
on a person, you are changingthe field.
But it's like the equivalent ofa computer getting a new
program.
You have to download it.
It got downloaded and you needto rest or reboot.
(08:01):
Reboot this computer and youknow so it could reintegrate
that higher frequency.
My dad slept for over 24 hours.
He returned back to the CATscanner.
It showed no evidence of hisinfection.
He never had to have thatsurgery, he never had to revisit
that problem in his life and hepassed away 12 years ago at the
(08:24):
age of 80.
Rose (08:25):
Oh gosh, god bless.
Oh, what amazing.
So I can see how that could belife changing.
Witnessing that, and also as anempath and intuitive how you
must have felt what he was goingthrough.
Dolores (08:39):
Oh, it was.
It was just horrible, because,as an empath intuitive, as you
and I both know, we take onthings, and a lot of times we
take on things on an unconsciouslevel to heal it through us,
and I wasn't really aware ofthat until much later in my life
as as part of my spiritualgrowth and involvement as well.
(09:00):
So, yeah, it's, it's been very,it's been a very interesting
journey.
So my biggest conundrum was OK,now, what do I do with this?
Because here you are, I, youknow it's just like I'm in.
Back then it was so black andwhite with no shades of gray.
(09:27):
The good news is I've been inhealthcare probably almost 50
years now, and this is the timethat we've been waiting for.
Rose (09:33):
Yes, oh, absolutely.
And you, my friend, were apioneer.
Yes, and we need pioneersbecause they forge that, they
blaze that trail, just like inyour bio, and that's what you
did, yeah definitely.
Dolores (09:49):
Wow, that's an amazing
story.
Thank you for that.
Rose (09:50):
Yes of course, and you
know, as you're beautifully
explaining everything, I couldvisualize everything and I also
sensed, although your motherdidn't feel right, didn't
express those feelings.
She obviously felt it, but shewas guided also by her intuition
and I also feel that yousupported that in a way, held
(10:12):
that space for that to happen.
Oh my gosh, I'm getting thechills and I'm looking at.
Dolores (10:16):
Thank you for that.
You know what?
I never even thought of that.
Rose (10:20):
But oh my gosh, yes, yes.
Dolores (10:22):
Yeah, but you know it,
I have to circle back that whole
thing with the surgeon thing.
This is what I call a Godmoment Right, absolutely.
Everything was orchestratedbehind the scenes in order for
the next steps to happen.
And I got privy to this once myfather passed away about 12
(10:43):
years ago.
That his father, my grandfather, who I I'm very close to in the
spirit realm um, he's like oneof my guides.
He actually helped orchestrateall of that on the other side.
Beautiful, I knew, I knew thatI got that you know that little
little peak of insight and I waslike, okay, thank you.
Rose (11:08):
Now I get it.
Wow, that's beautiful.
Oh, so glad that it worked out.
That's a very, very inspiringstory.
A lot of different ways.
A lot of different ways.
Yes, that's wonderful.
So you are a nurse practitionerand you incorporate or
integrate energy practices intoyour practice, right?
(11:31):
So you have medical and you'rea medical intuitive and an
energy whisperer.
So I'd like to talk a littlebit about what each of them are.
So let's talk about medicalintuition and how that works.
Dolores (11:46):
Medical intuition.
You know, Rose, there's so manydifferent variations of it.
Okay, Sometimes we have peoplewho can scan a body and feel
what's going on.
Remember, everything is energy.
Okay, what you and I are bothlooking at and witnessing in our
(12:06):
backgrounds, our demonstration,even our physical capability,
is a demonstration of energy,but a denser form of it, because
if you were to put those itemsand ourselves under a high, high
, high power microscope, youwould see everything vibrating
like energy.
So the things that we can't seeare, you know, our thoughts,
(12:27):
our beliefs, our emotions, ourconnectedness to ourself.
That's all like radio waves,energy.
Everything has a frequency andenergy to it.
Just because you cannottangibly see it doesn't mean it
does not exist.
So, for me, I've been veryfluent at reading energy from a
very young age.
(12:48):
So if reading energy was alanguage, I would be, you know,
uber fluent in it, Because whenpeople start talking, I could,
you know, I all of a sudden I'mable to go into who you know,
that energy timeline and look athow things kind of manifested.
And I think the mostinteresting thing is this the
(13:11):
way I could describe it is whenthey start talking, I tap into
their energy and I could seewhere you know emotions may have
been trapped, where, if they'reconnected to themselves, where
they spend the majority of theirtime in their head, their body
or you know whatever and I'mable to give them guidance as to
(13:34):
what needs to have happen inorder for them to come into
better alignment.
It's not about healing them anddoing the work for them.
It's teaching them how to fixthis for themselves.
Okay, Because these are toolsthat everybody has access to,
(13:54):
and when you're able to realignthings, you could.
You know, it's like the holesin the Swiss cheese get aligned
and it's just like you know.
Rose (14:05):
It's a straight bullet
point.
Yeah, it's about balancing.
So all comes back to balancingand also unblocking energy.
That's blocked Cause I workwith energy as well, but to be
able to be able to, to speak tosomeone and then have that, that
connection, to be able to dothat, I mean that's a gift and
(14:27):
that's fascinating.
How long have you known thatyou've been able to do that?
Dolores (14:30):
Probably my whole
entire life, but really
consciously probably the last 30plus years.
Rose (14:38):
So when you were doing
this, or knew that this was a
part of you a long time ago, howdid you feel?
Did you feel like odd man out?
Dolores (14:48):
Oh my God.
Yes, it was just like I'mthinking to myself okay, where's
my manual to come to earth,because I have no idea how to
fit in.
It's just like I would saysomething and it would be my
truth and I would get ridiculed.
Or the thing was oh, that's abunch of baloney.
(15:10):
And it's just like.
I really relish thoseconversations now because you
know, when you get to be our age, rose, it's just like you know
what, you know who you are, youknow what's out there, you know
your wisdom just shines through.
So I've had some veryinteresting dialogues with
medical colleagues in my careerbecause I still practice in in
(15:35):
the realms of Western medicine.
I'm an assistant surgeon, so Iassist on all different types of
surgeries as an assistantassistant surgeon and I've been
doing that work for the last 30years, where I get to really
witness the end products ofpeople's creations um beautiful
yes so it's just like becauseyou will see 20 different people
(15:58):
with the same physical thing,but how they got to it is a
whole different pathway.
Okay, so this is where Westernmedicine really is.
I'm concerned about it becausethey tried to pigeonhole
everybody in a box the same waybecause of the end product, the
(16:19):
physical disease they have, andthinking that they could fix it
with a pill, procedure or youknow whatever, or even surgery,
and without looking deeper,below the surface of the iceberg
(16:39):
, because underneath there isthe treasure trove of how that
particular disease was createdfor that individual.
Okay, where people becauseeverybody's had experiences and
they don't take that intoconsideration of how they cope
(17:01):
with things, how they, whetheror not they experience their
emotions or not, whether or notthey're in their body, a lot of
people don't live in their body.
There is a disconnect.
Rose (17:11):
Oh, yes, yes, A huge
disconnect.
Dolores (17:15):
Yeah, oh, yes, yes, a
huge disconnect, yeah, and so
it's about, it's a renaissanceof people coming back to self,
self, meaning being in theirbody, physically present in this
moment.
And I think what people arestarting to understand is that
we have multiple brains in ourbody.
We have the brain brain, theheart brain and the gut brain
(17:40):
and they all need to play nicelytogether in the sandbox and
they're bullying each othersometimes and they're not
communicating, they're ignoringeach other.
They're just, you know, theego's like I'm most important.
Then the heart thing is likewell, you know.
And then the heart thing islike, well, you know.
And then this gut thing is like, oh, hell, no, you know.
(18:00):
And it's like so it's just likeit's about balancing that
within yourself.
Now, case in point I we just had, um, the family member, go
through open heart surgery,probably about two weeks ago and
, knowing this person for myentire life, you know we get a
(18:22):
little tap on the shoulder.
It's like, rose, you need to dosomething.
You ignore it.
You get a slap on the face Rose, you need to do something, you
ignore it.
Then the refrigerator falls onyou and then your attention is
totally with that thing.
So, to witness that and also toknow what that person
experienced and how he dealtwith his emotions.
(18:46):
He is totally disconnected fromhis body.
In fact, he doesn't even takecare of himself.
Rose (18:50):
Yeah.
Dolores (18:51):
So, you know, it's
interesting witnessing that.
The good news is is that Ibelieve this is like his
opportunity for an awakening,which I believe, you know,
things happen for a reason.
By the grace of God he's alivebecause if his wife was not up
when she was, he would have beengone.
Rose (19:10):
Yeah, oh, wow.
Yes, he definitely has anotherchance and opportunity to change
and to embrace life and,hopefully, a different
perspective.
I think when we undergosomething like that, I know that
from firsthand experience wethink of things a lot
differently.
Yeah, so you know, people aredisconnected from their bodies,
(19:32):
but also disconnected from theirfeelings.
There's a lot of people thatdon't feel, don't know how to
feel.
They suppress those feelingsand it manifests into something
physical, right?
And you see that and you'reinvolved in all these surgeries.
Do you feel that there's like apattern that people have that
lead to certain disease orailments Like, okay, well, I'm
(19:56):
going to just go right intobreast cancer, for example.
What is it that you feel is theunderlying reason, or possible?
Dolores (20:03):
reason.
I think there's a whole sequelaof things.
I think what I feel with, like,breast cancer it's like when
you think about breast, it'snurturing, it's nurturing self.
And when you talk to some ofthese women who come in with
breast cancer, they a lot oftimes they have a lot on their
(20:24):
plate and maybe you know, youget, you know you, maybe you get
some attention for yourself,but usually not.
You're not, you're you're,you're putting yourself, but
usually not You're puttingeverybody else first over
yourself.
So I feel that when people havebreast cancer, it's an
opportunity for them to learnhow to love and nurture
(20:46):
themselves.
Rose (20:48):
I agree with you.
I had breast cancer and it cameat a time where my kids were
little and I just was not, thatwas a wake up call.
I'm sure, oh, it was a huge wakeup call, and you know I'm
always looking over my shoulderstill, but I always wonder if
there's this common theme.
And I look at that.
(21:08):
What a first thing I looked atbecause I was already a Reiki
practitioner at the time waslike okay, why am I, why did?
Did I get breast cancer?
I don't take care of myself.
You know, why did my motherhave breast cancer?
She didn't take care of herself, you know.
And that's why people like youare here to educate and help
(21:29):
people to heal before somethinghappens, hopefully, and to teach
them how to do it forthemselves.
Dolores (21:35):
Because you know, rose,
we all have that innate ability
to heal ourselves.
We are wired that way.
It's one of our sovereignrights as a human being.
But yet we have given thatpower away to something outside
of ourselves, and so it's aboutreestablishing a connection with
(21:58):
yourself.
A lot of times, people don'tlike themselves.
Okay, they're not comfortablewith themselves.
Well, that's it.
And the thing is I love thissaying it's like the longest
relationship you're ever goingto have in your life is the one
you have with yourself.
Yet, and it's not your spouse,you're not your kids.
Think about that.
Okay, you come into the worldwith yourself Yet, and it's not
your spouse, you're not yourkids.
Think about that.
Okay, you come into the worldwith yourself and you're going
(22:19):
to go out of the world withyourself, but yet we treat
ourselves so not so nicely.
Just for an example, the thingsyou say to yourself in the
quiet of your mind, the judgingand criticizing we do to
ourselves.
It's no surprise that humanityis in the state that it's in
right now.
(22:39):
Case in point, let's just lookat that what we say to ourselves
.
You know, you're not goodenough, or you're ugly, or
you're too fat.
That's a drop, that's like apebble, and so we contribute to
collective consciousness, whichis this big pool of water of
everybody else's stuff thatthey've dumped into that.
So you drop that pebble of notbeing good enough or unworthy
(23:03):
into that water and guess what,when you drop it in, it ripples
out and it affects that wholebody of water.
Okay, how we change that is,start being nicer to ourselves,
having some self-compassion.
We need a whopping dose ofself-compassion right now, and
compassion because how we switchthat pool of collective
(23:27):
consciousness is individually,and we all need to show up for
ourselves because we are worthit.
Rose (23:35):
Yes, we are worth it, and
self-compassion, unfortunately,
is something that we need tolearn.
Yes, we do.
It doesn't just show up.
We have to learn what it's liketo turn that compassion that we
give others towards ourselves,and it's hard for some people.
Dolores (23:53):
Yes, it is, and it's
hard for some people.
Yes, it is, and you know, Ifind one of the easiest ways to
do that because where we'regoing energetically as a
collective is fifth dimensional.
It's about vibration, okay.
So words have frequency andvibration right, I hate you has
(24:15):
a lower vibration.
Vibrational quality right, Ihate you has a lower vibrational
quality, right, it's energyAlso, you know, I love you is
better.
Self-compassion is way up here.
So all is necessary is, likethe awareness, that number one.
You're beating yourself up andjudging and criticizing yourself
.
Then you could make a differentchoice.
Yes, you could go down thatpathway and continue.
(24:36):
I don't recommend it, but it's.
It's about okay, I can make achoice.
I'm starting to really be hardon myself.
I'm just going to focus on theword self compassion and feel
the vibration of that word.
That is all that is necessary.
It's not about figuring it out,it's a feel thing.
Just feel the vibration and theenergy of the word.
(24:58):
Now, dr Mazaro Emoto I think youknow him, who used to bless his
heart.
He passed away probably about10 years ago or maybe more than
that, but he was a pioneer aswell.
He would label vessels of waterwith words fast, freeze them
and look at the crystallineformation under a microscope.
(25:18):
I'm really simplifying this,but the thing is that's what he
would do in a nutshell, and hewould photograph those crystals
and, of course, the highervibrating words like peace, love
, appreciation, were thesebeautiful, symmetrical, they
look like snowflake crystals.
Whereas if he labeled a bottleof water and did the same thing
(25:41):
with I hate you, war, worry,those crystalline formations
would be fragmented or even dullor just non non-forming.
So what does that tell you?
What you label your vessel ofwater, your body is at least 75%
water.
Okay, how are you labeling thatvessel?
(26:03):
Because that water is going toadapt to whatever that vibration
is.
You're feeding it and that'sgoing to actually contribute to
creating a physical problem.
The physical disease issue isthe end result of a cumulative
effect of everything that's kindof gone on under the surface of
(26:26):
that iceberg.
Okay, the physical is the tipof the iceberg and everything
below the surface of the wateris everything that's been
running the show and creatingthat.
Rose (26:40):
Yeah, you know I
oftentimes, when I'm working
with people and they ask me well, you know why is this happening
, and we'll just haveconversations and I hear the
same thing that they're sayingand repeating about themselves,
like whether it's not unworthyor I feel guilty was oftentimes
(27:00):
that's a big one, big one.
And then I'm like and then I say, well, what did you just say?
And you said that several times, and then it's almost like an
awakening.
Oh, you know the guilt, maybethe underlying reason that
they're experiencing.
Whatever it is that they'reexperiencing, totally agree,
yeah, Totally agree, but itdoesn't make it easy to turn
(27:22):
around and try to fix that right.
So talk about that.
Like you know, there's work tobe identified and done.
Dolores (27:29):
Well, you know, and I
think a lot of times people want
the easy way out.
They want that pill to take Oneand done, they want to bypass,
they don't want to do the deepwork that has to happen, and I
think it's because of the fearof the unknown.
Like they're afraid they'regoing to unlatch Pandora's box.
The lid's going to go flyingoff the box and it's never going
(27:50):
to get shut.
Well, I have news for you.
I've lived through it it doesshut again it may open up again,
but it does shut again.
But it's okay.
And you know, I think what'simportant right now too is, with
everything that we'reexperiencing globally in our
world, it's pushing a lot ofpeople's buttons right now.
(28:12):
Okay, so they're triggers.
Buttons right now, okay, sothey're triggers.
And these are opportunities,because the, the external
trigger, is never what you think.
It is Okay, the you'retriggered and you know you could
.
When you're aware, you couldrealize, okay, this is really
(28:32):
pushing my buttons.
And when you sit with it, youcould either say I'm going to
react to it or why is that so?
And when you sit with what iscoming up within you?
The emotion.
This is where the gold nuggetsare, because sometimes it might
have been something thathappened earlier in your
(28:52):
childhood, and what happens islike part of our soul fractures
off and gets landlocked in thatother time and place, and our
natural tendency is to ignore it.
Okay, put it on a shelf, dealwith it later.
And it's energy, it's neverbeen dealt with, but part of us
is trapped there.
(29:13):
So what you need to do is goback and feel what those
feelings are and just imaginethat the feeling is like a big
bubble.
When you take a step into thebubble when you're feeling it.
Next thing you know, you takeanother step and another step
and you're outside of the bubble.
(29:34):
Another step and another stepand you're outside of the bubble
when you experience youremotions.
You dissipate the energy andbring it to natural ground, zero
point, where it doesn't have aneffect on you.
Now, with something thathappened, the core issue or the
core injury where a part of yoursoul fractured off, this is how
you recollect parts of yourself.
Okay, it's kind of shamanic inits own little way.
(29:55):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah,it's.
It's very powerful, because ournatural tendency when
something's really painful isjust to push it away and keep it
at bay.
But really what it wants, rose,is this it's dying to come back
home to you, but you're keepingit away.
So the best thing you could dois, when this comes up and
(30:17):
you're feeling it and a lot oftimes we have somatic responses
when our emotions come up youmight have, you know, tightness
in your belly, just whateverthat belly pain is.
Just put your hands on it andjust infuse it with so much pink
love and light andunconditional love and
acceptance, like it was, youknow, your favorite being or pet
(30:41):
, that unconditional.
You know love that's there andwhen you're able to infuse this
area with that energy, thatsomatic response dissipates.
It may move to another place.
So we keep chasing it down withlove and appreciation until it
comes to a neutral thing, and alot of times you're able to.
(31:04):
This is like where inner childwork comes in.
You know, the inner child mightappear and you could have a
dialogue with the inner childand it's about merging the inner
child back to you, bringing herhome and welcoming her.
Yeah, so you know, case inpoint.
I know this is an interestingstory because I live in Southern
(31:27):
California now, but I've livedout here for almost 36 years.
So, growing up in New England,I remember one of our childhood
homes, like before I was inkindergarten.
Whenever I would fly back toConnecticut I would drive by
that house and sit outside thehouse.
I don't know why, but I just Ididn't really realize what this
(31:51):
was all about, but I was.
I left parts of my soul there Iwas trying to bring back to
home, and my brother has donethe same thing and I didn't find
out about this until later.
So it's interesting that onceyou know, because a lot of stuff
happened like the first five orsix years of our life there,
and you know it was interestingjust being able to call back
(32:15):
pieces of yourself andreintegrate that and gain the
wisdom of what was there in thatexperience, so you're able to
become more complete and wholewithin yourself.
Rose (32:28):
Okay, it can also be that
you went back.
Well, maybe not you, but youmay go back because you're
experiencing or you are thinkingabout the good times yes that
you had.
So it's not necessarily atraumatic time in your life
whether you're a life where youleft it there, but a piece of,
like your memories that you wantto recollect and reignite or
(32:52):
just, you know, hold withinagain to help you feel good.
But I do what you said aboutreconnecting with maybe a piece
of your inner child.
I resonate with that and Ithink a lot of people do.
A piece of your inner child, Iresonate with that and I think a
lot of people do.
You find or you read about oryou hear about more and more
people doing inner child workand reconnecting.
But it's also not feeling sorryabout yourself.
(33:12):
I have to say that.
It's about understanding thecircumstances and the situations
, whether or not you have hadtrauma with your parents, and
understanding maybe where theycame from, and not putting the
blame on everything and just Idon't know, just looking at it
from a different lens.
Oh, absolutely.
Dolores (33:32):
And you know, rose,
that's where, like, the
ancestral stuff comes in as well.
Because you know, I feel too.
You know, circling back to youknow what it was like being a
child, you feeling like you'rethe odd duck out.
Yeah, those of us who feel likewe're the odd duck out or the
black sheep of the family, weare actually strategically
placed into our family groups,family soul groups, and I'll
(33:53):
tell you why because you are theone that is there to heal the
ancestral lineage.
It stops with you.
So it's not for the meek ofheart.
You have a very big job to do,it's an important job and I
witnessed this, you know, inmany people, especially many
(34:16):
people in our tribe that are,you know, awake and also on this
path that we're on.
You know we're either wayshowers, light workers, thank
you way showers.
You know we are here toincrease the light potion of the
earth and with that is that,you know this is where all the
(34:42):
ancestral stuff comes into play.
Where all the ancestral stuffcomes into play because a lot of
it.
You know, I used to say who madethis rule, because it was just
like it made no sense to me atall, but they're carrying it on,
you know it's like yeah, and soyou know the humor part of it
is that I'm easily entertainedbecause it's just like wow, this
(35:02):
is really amazing that this wascreated.
But there's so much in ourworld to witness and a lot of it
.
It's like a comedy show rightnow.
So I just invite people to youknow, not take life so seriously
(35:23):
when you lose your sense ofhumor.
Not take life so seriously whenyou lose your sense of humor,
folks, it's over.
Oh my God, yes, oh my God.
It's just like, please, youknow, just lighten up, it's not
a joke, lighten up, it is kindof funny.
Rose (35:40):
Yeah, so I stopped being
so everyone is so serious.
I mean, I know that there'sthings that are happening in the
world.
You know, trust me because Ifeel it, not only I see it, but
I feel it.
But we have to have some levitybecause, you know, just talking
, bringing that balance back.
You know you can't have toomuch of one thing, you need to
have something of the other,that yin and yang.
You have to laugh, you have tohave levity, you have to smile,
(36:03):
you have to feel good.
You can't always be fearful orsad.
You know there's a so many, somany ways we can bring back that
balance.
This is a wonderful conversation.
You have your own podcast, theDr Delora Show, which I want to
go back and listen to yourpodcast episodes.
But the last one you did, theone more recent to where we're
(36:25):
recording.
Now you talk about and this isa huge topic for me that I love
talking about embracing newbeginnings, embracing change,
evolving, growing, overcomingfear, all those things.
Now I wanted to.
I want to talk about that as itpertains to women going through
transitions in their life,maybe empty nesting or coming
(36:48):
out of a marriage, whetherthey're widows or not, whatever,
but embracing change, not beingafraid of that.
Can we talk about that?
Dolores (36:55):
Oh, absolutely, and you
know, change is the constant.
Okay, uncertainty is the newcertainty, right, yes, okay, so
the point is it's like we'reconstantly evolving and growing.
Things are changing andevolving and grow and growing as
(37:17):
well, and what I mean by thisis that remember, with the
conversation we had aboutenergetic beings, we are all
energetic beings.
Where you were even a week agois a different frequency than
you are now.
So, for an example, say, all ofa sudden you are ending a
relationship.
(37:37):
Okay, and maybe you had beenmarried for a long time, but
energetically it's a mismatchfor you Because energetically
you were a mismatch for you,because energetically you were
at one place when this wascreated and now you're here, but
the relationship hasn'tmobilized to here.
So it's not like you're afailure, it's about an energetic
upgrade.
(37:58):
Okay, because you are growingand evolving.
So when things happen to peoplethat we label, oh, that's the
most worst thing ever andhorrific, I just say, well, you
know what.
You're getting upgraded and youprobably love that you are.
You are getting upgradedBecause the thing is is like,
(38:18):
energetically, you're stilltrying to fit your energy, to
fit into something that you'veoutgrown.
Yeah, You're still trying to fityour energy, to fit into
something that you've outgrown,and just for relationships and
things in life.
Things are here for a reason, aseason or a lifetime.
You're here to learn what youneed to learn from that
situation and once the lesson islearned, it's time to move on
(38:40):
to the next lesson.
It's not like you're a badperson.
You failed in the guilt or theshame or whatever.
If those things come up, Iinvite you to dig a little
deeper, because that's not yourvoice talking.
That's something from another.
You know your grandparents oryou know society a long time ago
(39:00):
.
This is not who you are, soit's about really trusting your
intuition.
This is another thing that'sreally key.
A lot of people have you know.
They maybe have that intuitiveknowledge or wisdom, but we've
been told to dummy it downbecause this is not real.
This out here is not for me.
(39:22):
This is the real deal here,because you know what, if you
look in our world right now andit's probably been this way
probably since 2008, becausebefore that financial crash in
2008, you could bet yourpaycheck that a, b and c would
equal x, y and z all the time,every time, and then, once that
(39:44):
happened, nothing has beencertain at all.
It's been chaotic.
Um, everything's changing andevolving quickly, and that's the
way it was kind of designed.
So it was our first wake-upcall that you need to start
focusing on coming withinyourself to create that
certainty in an uncertain world.
(40:04):
Okay, so how do you do that?
You learn how to groundyourself so you become
physically, mentally,emotionally, spiritually in your
physical body Okay, you're inyour vessel.
One of the easiest ways to dothat and I call it the gateway
(40:24):
thing is doing a mindfulactivity.
Okay, and let's talk about amindful activity.
We've all had those things thatwe have done, that we have lost
all sense of time and place,where five hours turns into it
feels like 10 minutes.
That's a mindful activity.
A mindful activity that allowsyou to lose all sense of time
(40:48):
and place, and that could be thewhole gamut, from sitting and
reading a book to coloring abook.
Coloring a book, doing creativestuff.
It also could be going for awalk and being in nature.
It is whatever you're leaninginto.
Trust your intuition on that,because it's going to be
different for every person.
(41:08):
Yes, it may be something highlyathletic too.
Whatever it is for you, do moreof that, because that is what
is going to keep you grounded inyour body, so you could be in
the present moment.
When you're in the presentmoment, you're right here right
now.
When you're right here rightnow, this is where you get to
hear the whispers of your soultelling you those intuitive hits
(41:31):
Okay, or those ideas, and thenyou go into divine, doing so
you're being, and then goinginto doing and then coming back
to being.
Okay, we've been told that theexternal, and pushing a boulder
up a hill and being in your headand trying to figure it out, is
(41:52):
the way to go, and it's anabuse of power.
It's controlling, it'sstressful.
When we have a lot of stress,you know, your immune system
gets compromised.
When your immune system getscompromised, you get sick.
Okay, it's been lopsided.
That's what happens.
This is what we're witnessingin our society.
So it's about coming back toself, creating a relationship
(42:15):
with yourself so you become yourown best friend, learning how
to spend time by yourself.
That scares the bejeebers outof a lot of people, yeah, but we
used to do it as children.
that scares the bejeebers out ofa lot of people, yeah, but we
used to do it as children.
Well, the other thing too Ithink covid taught us a big
lesson with that too, becauseyou know, we I talk about the
doing mobile.
You know we're talking aboutthe do do, do, do, do.
(42:37):
So the doing mobile wasconstantly in motion and I think
a lot of people knew that theyneeded to stop, but they
couldn't get off, they couldn'tget off the ride, and then COVID
hit and then the ride stoppedfor at least two weeks.
These people were scramblingbecause they weren't familiar
with what not being in motionwas all about.
(42:59):
And you know, I saw it was verytelling about, you know, a lot
of people, because those who youknow were OK with being by
themselves, did OK, but thosethat this was a new concept,
they just it was.
It was frightening for thembecause they just didn't know
what was going to happen andthey would distract themselves
(43:21):
from being by themselvesdistract themselves from being
by themselves.
Rose (43:26):
Yeah, yeah, I almost
missed that.
I used to go out in my backyardin the summer and sit there in
the back by myself withcommuning with the birds and
writing, and it was so.
It was like heaven, you know, Iwas because I was, you know, in
a way you were forced to be athome yes, right, and and find
things to do, and it was.
It was really transformative, Ithink, for me.
(43:48):
I was able to connect with alot of pieces of myself that I
needed to work on and you knowwhat.
Dolores (43:55):
You were awake enough
to know that.
So I believe these events thathappen in our world are
opportunities for people toawaken.
Yeah, because I didn't feel Ineeded to show up for anybody
else except myself.
Rose (44:05):
Believe, these events that
happen in our world are
opportunities for people toawaken.
Yeah, but because I didn't feelI needed to show up for anybody
else except myself, or to, orto entertain, or to do, or to
you know to be.
I mean, people did work and allthat stuff, but it did create a
huge shift in the way we we arewith ourselves.
That's absolutely true yeah, andwhen um, in a part of that
(44:27):
change, is also allowing forthat curiosity, right To help us
, um, because change can bescary, right.
So so you know, going back towomen and going through change
and you know, relationshipchange, but also trying things
that are new, exploring, notbeing afraid of stepping out of
our comfort zone, because we'realways put in that little box
(44:49):
that says, ok, well, you're justsupposed to do this, this and
this.
Dolores (44:53):
And I always say who
made that rule up?
Rose (44:55):
Yeah, who made that rule
up?
We're going to have a T-shirtfor that.
Who made that rule?
Dolores (45:01):
up.
Well, you know, I know thatwould be a good one.
I also feel too that, you know,when stuff like that happens
and we're able to move forward,it's like embrace, you know that
(45:21):
fear with, call it excitement,Right, and adventure, because it
really is.
You know, it's like going on tookay.
You know, a lot of times whenI'm in the hospital and stuff
like that, it's just like, oh,you know cause I go from
different place to differentplace when I assist in surgery
and I said, oh, onto the nextadventure.
Rose (45:38):
Well, it is an adventure I
can't imagine.
Dolores (45:41):
I could just never know
what's going to happen and you
know, silly me for thinking thatit's going to turn out a
certain way.
I've learned early on that it'sjust like I just need to get
out of my own way and just allowthings to unfold the way that
they're supposed to.
Now I don't know if you'reaware of this too is that
everything that we ever wantedfor ourselves is in our energy
(46:02):
field, okay, it's just vibratingat a different frequency than
what we are currently vibratingat.
So you know, maybe you want tobe able to travel the world and
that vibration is up here andyou're here.
So what's you know is necessaryis what can I do to raise my
frequency to match thosefrequencies?
(46:24):
So it's about working onyourself, being mindful of what
you say to yourself in the quietof your mind.
But also you know we.
(46:46):
You know anything that's goingto raise your frequency, like
bring more joy to your life,more fun humor.
You know walking down thestreet with a smile on your face
, that's a big deal, you know,because you know people.
You know when you smile and youknow you look happy.
You're just like a magnet forother people they want to you
know what I'm saying and it'sjust about, you know, having fun
in life, because, yeah, youknow there's some pretty crappy
things happening and you knowwhat.
(47:07):
You just don't let that get toyou.
Rose (47:10):
Yeah, no, I, I agree.
I love what you said and youknow I try to make it a habit of
going out, and even at thegrocery store or wherever I'm
going, to smile at people andthey smile back and it's such a
beautiful thing.
And they're not.
And they smile back and it'ssuch a beautiful thing, and
they're not.
They just smile.
It's a, it's a lovely reactionand hopefully they may have been
so distracted by something thatwas so sad or or whatever they
(47:33):
were worried about.
Dolores (47:34):
Maybe that changed the
frequency you, you have no idea
what impact you have on otherpeople.
You really don't.
You know, and and you do, youknow it.
You might have, just like youwere saying, just change a
person's life by, just, you know, smiling at them.
(47:55):
It's that simple.
Yeah, it doesn't take, you know, like this big whatever, it's
that simple thing, yeah, and Ialways feel better too.
Rose (48:04):
I mean, I guess it's it
takes it with practice.
It's just something that Iguess I've always been that way,
but, but I just want to put itout there for anybody that's out
there.
Just go out there and smilewith other people, see what
happens.
Dolores (48:18):
You know.
Well, you know, and I think,especially different parts of
the country too, because I grewup in New England and I know
what it's like.
You know, and I think,especially different parts of
the country too, because I grewup in New England and I know
what it's like.
You know, people are like inNew Jersey as well, but you know
hey that would probably shockthe jeebers out of them,
especially if you smile at them.
They're like what's wrong?
Rose (48:38):
Yeah, what's going on?
Yeah, but that's like you know,let's change the world.
I know, do I look funny?
But no, no.
You know, let's change theworld.
I know, do I look funny?
But no, no, you're just.
I'm just smiling, I'm justhappy, and I want to share that
and extend that out to everyone.
Talk about some of yourofferings, or your offerings and
how you help people.
(48:58):
The floor is yours.
Dolores (49:02):
You know, thank you
very much.
I have a grounding meditationthat's free on my website.
It's like a pop up that whenyou go to my website,
drdeloresfazino.
com, sign up for it, becauseit's a grounding meditation
that's going to allow you to bein the present moment, right
here, right now, and it's veryshort, but it grounds you in
multiple dimensions, which isalways a good thing, and you'll
(49:25):
feel the difference.
Also, I have a program calledI'm awake, now what?
And it is a community programand there's a link for that too
on the header of my website.
Just click on that and you'llget more information.
But what that is is I decidedwith a girlfriend of mine that
(49:46):
you know we've both gone throughour spiritual awakening and
what it was like doing that youknow, and how isolated and alone
you felt, and so we decided toput together a community where
we offer healing resources,tools and insight as to maybe
(50:09):
what's up for people.
We have weekly Zoom call live.
That's recorded and that'spretty much it, because you know
nobody should have to gothrough what a spiritual
awakening can and is.
I mean, sometimes it's justlike it's frightening,
especially when you wake up onemorning life had been working
(50:30):
great the day before and youwake up and you're like what the
hell's going on?
I have no idea.
Or maybe you lost the job.
You're going through, you know,transitions in your life,
whatever that is a health crisis, that's this is.
This is the a community for you.
Rose (50:45):
Yeah, you need the support
, Even though we are our own
healers and I totally believe inthat.
It is nice to have others toshare the journey, the ride,
support you know how to guideyou, all those things, because
we shouldn't do it alone.
It's really about buildingcommunity and having that as we
go through these things.
Yeah Well, it's been amazing.
(51:08):
Is there anything else youwanted to add at the end?
No, that's it, but thank youfor sharing your energy with me
and with the audience here atShadow of the Mat Dolores.
It's been wonderful, thank you.
