Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, at the time I
didn't know I was going to get
double.
But what happens when that runsout?
Like what will I?
I'll need to earn money.
So then I had a couple of daysof really tuning into where am I
now versus how I've lived mylife so far.
Do I trust the universe toprovide for me, or is my income
(00:21):
and my abundance and a paycheckfrom a company?
Or is my income and myabundance and a paycheck from a
company?
And I could feel myselfcatching up from the gap of what
I'd expanded to, from what Iwas used to living, and it felt
terrifying.
But I checked in with myselfand I would just really tune in
(00:44):
and I could feel the truth oflike, oh, I am ready to trust
the universe to provide for me.
And whenever I would get thattemptation to return to the
feeling of terror or scared, Iwould just check in with myself
again.
And eventually I was like Imoved fully into what I'd
expanded to, which is I askedfor more freedom.
I'm not in charge of how itshows up.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome to the
Delicious Alignment and the Art
of Abundance podcast.
We cover topics related tohealth, wealth and happiness
from a spiritual andmetaphysical point of view.
I'm your host, author andintuitive coach, rhonda Ryder
(01:28):
just wanted to let you guys knowthat I've been feeling the
guidance to interview morechannelers and people who have
had NDEs near-death experiences,so I am about to contact some
folks who fit that criteria.
Let me know what you thinkabout that idea.
Would you like to hear more ofthose kind of interviews as well
?
I guess I'm mixing it up alittle bit.
You know, following thosebreadcrumbs, don't you just love
(01:48):
it?
When you begin to trust yourguidance more and more, it feels
so good.
Okay, so about today's episode.
I'm super excited to bring backauthor and personal
transformation coach, reedThompson, to talk about his
brand new book, the UnicornFrequency.
You might remember Iinterviewed Reed back in July
(02:10):
regarding his 12-monthexperiment of fun, which
resulted in his company offeringhim a retirement package that
basically doubled his income andallowed him to kick off his new
business and complete his book.
The Unicorn Frequency Unleashthe Magic of More Money, more
Freedom and More Fun.
I will post the link to thisprevious episode in the show
(02:34):
notes so you can listen to thatone as well if you like.
Make sure to stay to the end tohear Reed's take on how to live
like you're on vacation even ifyou're working a full-time job.
Yeah, there's a lot of goodcontent in this episode.
It's very meaty, if I do say somyself.
So let's get started.
Hello Reed.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Hi, how are you?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'm doing great.
Thank you, I am so excited totalk to you today.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Thank you for having
me back.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yes, you're very
welcome.
You're welcome.
I've been reading your book andI'm loving it.
The Unicorn Frequency and thetagline I love equally as much
as the Unicorn Frequency is thetitle Unleash the Magic of More
Money, more Freedom and More Fun.
Who doesn't want more of thatright?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Exactly yeah, I agree
.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The last time I spoke
with you, I think you had the
idea for the book.
I'm not sure if you had startedwriting it yet, so now your
book is published.
What's life like since writingthe book and publishing the book
?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think last time we
talked, I remember that I think
the book was written and I wasmaybe doing a little bit of
editing, but I didn't have atitle yet.
So a lot has happened sincethen.
Let's see, life has beenstartling and fun.
What surprises me is I spenttwo years writing the book as I
lived my life and I had afull-time job and traveling and
(04:08):
was just kind of focused, onestep at a time, and I never
really thought about what thestage would feel like.
And it's kind of blowing mymind because people are
messaging me every day tellingme how much the book has meant
to them and what's standing out,and I never really thought
about this phase.
(04:29):
I just had my head down and wasworking and this has been what
Abraham Hicks calls surprise anddelight every day in this new
reality.
So it's very fun and satisfying.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yes, very fun and
satisfying.
Yes, I mean even like almostfive years since I wrote my book
and I'm still receivingmessages from people.
It's just like the book has alife of its own and it's already
happening for you.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So that's really cool
, thank you, I did work with a
book mentor who kind of helpedadd some structure to each stage
of the process, but there wasfreedom to postpone any stage.
If you were like I, was busytraveling for three and a half
months and I would have somemeetings with an editor and talk
about the book, but I wasn't,it was pretty much on hold until
(05:21):
I was home again.
So I enjoyed that flexibilityof when I focused on it.
It didn't have to take twoyears.
It certainly didn't take twoyears to write.
It probably took 90 daysbecause we had focused blocks of
writing time and then editorswould go through the book and do
what the editors do and helpyou kind of with punctuation or
(05:42):
even how smooth or how logicalit flows to them.
As someone who's not close up toit, so to be in that stage for
two years approximately maybe itwasn't even that long it feels
like a dream, like how did thiseven happen?
How do I have a book?
But I love that it was thatsimple and non-confrontational
(06:03):
or non-dramatic, that it wasjust something I focused on one
step at a time.
It wasn't overwhelming.
And here we are.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And just to remind
listeners, if you haven't
listened to the first interviewI did with Reed, I'll post it in
the show notes, because thatinterview is the first part
really of this story of how youdid a 12-month experiment of fun
.
Actually, the episode is calleda 12-month experiment of fun
(06:30):
and you focused on fun for 12months and then you had a desire
for more freedom and you wereoffered a package from your
corporate job as creativedirector of a fortune 500
company and to basically getpaid double for doing nothing,
(06:51):
for staying home.
So you attracted, allowed thisfreedom with this money coming
in.
Yeah, an amazing story.
So I highly recommend peoplelisten to that as well.
It's a wonderful addition tothis story.
So I know you talk about it inthe book, but I'd love to ask
you to share how the title cameto you.
(07:11):
Did you say I think you said inthe book it came in a dream, or
how was that?
The Unicorn Frequency?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, there was a
working title that I had.
That did come in a dream and animage of the front of the book
and I thought, wow.
But as time went on I think itwas after our call I had in a
few days a meeting with thepublisher to talk about what the
title would be, and so thathelped.
Looking back, it gave me thisfocus, this desire to have a
(07:47):
title or some title ideas toshare with the publisher, versus
just talking to him about thefact that I don't have one or
what does he think or anysuggestions he might have.
Inside, meditated and I kind ofasked the universe like I desire
a title that thrills me and Idesire a book cover that thrills
me and that's.
And so I started my meditationand through the meditation four
(08:07):
phrases came to me and they'rekind of combinations of each
other.
I wrote them down and I justremember looking at my list on
my phone and I loved this ideaof frequency, because it's so
much a part of our life and howwe manifest and how we create
and we all are at a frequency.
The title came through like theunicorn frequency.
(08:31):
I love the combination of thosetwo words because unicorn is so
whimsical and sparkly and to mehas very candy flavor
connotations, you know, and.
But then frequency to me soundsmore scientific and deep and I
loved, as a creative person andcreative director, I loved the
combination of those words andhow they don't quite normally,
(08:52):
you wouldn't normally put themtogether, and that it kind of
creates a question of a storylike, oh, what's this about?
And I've been workingspecifically with this unicorn
language and I talk about thisin my book.
But whatever I find, like,whatever helps us find our
(09:12):
thrill, our truth I call like,our thrill is our truth because
when I would think about, well,what do I want?
And so Gina, who's been on yourshow, and you just were
advertising that she's comingout whenever things would
resonate with me and buzz, whenI would read it, I would really
pay attention.
And and Gina messaged me andshe, within her message, she had
(09:36):
this phrase of if I had a magicwand and could have it exactly
as I wanted it, what would Icreate?
And I just thought I mean justlike, buzz, buzz, buzz, like
that kind of thing of like, ooh,that really gives me permission
to think about what is mythrill If someone handed me a
(09:57):
magic wand.
It's right now.
It's not like, okay, put thismagic wand away.
And when you think of someideas, get it out.
It was, it felt more it out.
It was it felt more like if itwas handed to me right now, I
would want to take advantage ofthe opportunity and I would need
to start pointing my magic wandand like what do I want?
And so I could feel the thrillof a kind of like an access to
(10:23):
my thrill on my truth of like,well, what do I want?
And when I would kind of startcoming up with a list, it would
start to grow Like well, let'ssee if I could point it right
now and things started topopulate.
And then when they do like youcan feel inside you your energy
is spikes when you recognize, ohwow, I could feel my energy
spike when I thought of this.
(10:43):
Can I really have that?
I know it thrills me.
So the reason I use thisexample that Gina told me is
there's multiple ways that wecan find what thrills us, and I
had been working with thisunicorn language because so Liz,
who you've had on your show aswell, liz Hayes had texted me
and said I'm about to go to ameeting or an event, and I
(11:06):
wonder how this will play outfor me as a magical unicorn and
I thought, oh, wow, like thatwas just like alarms going off.
I love how it felt when I readthat and how she was going to a
meeting or you were going to.
She was going to a meeting andshe shared, like how she is a
unicorn, how could this play outfor her as a unicorn?
And I thought I am using thatin my life and I would work with
(11:29):
it every day as my part of mymeditation and my alignment, and
I would and I could just say,like not only how does this day
play out for me as a unicorn,but I could like how I could put
it in different segments and Icould start to feel my thrill,
just like that magic wandpermission slip.
So that had been something I'dbeen working with for probably
six months, this idea of aunicorn, and I noticed when I
(11:53):
would be in some of theseAbraham seminars, I would get
more information about why theunicorn language is helpful,
like it wasn't just when I cameup with a title and how I'd been
using it, but I'd get newinformation, like even recently,
and I realized the power behindunicorn, like letting ourselves
think of ourselves as a unicorn.
Is it releases what is, becauseAbraham Hicks talks a lot about
(12:16):
don't keep looking at what isand putting your attention on
what's already created.
Start telling the story of whatyou want to create.
Attention on what's alreadycreated.
Start telling the story of whatyou want to create.
And I realized that that unicornhow does this play out for me
as a unicorn was powerfulbecause I was releasing what is
and super free to come up withanything.
It didn't have to be groundedin reality or what is currently
(12:40):
going on.
It could be not even somethingthat humans might expect.
Like no, this is a unicorn andthey get to ask for anything.
Nothing applies to them, it'sall magic.
And so it just helped me kindof more accurately come up with
my list of, like, well, whatwould I want as a unicorn right
now?
And I could feel the thrill ofthe things that I did come up
(13:00):
with.
And then I realized that's mytruth, because I could feel the
most energy in me and my bodywhen I would work with that idea
of me as a unicorn.
But I find it equally powerfulto think of the magic wand.
I can have it exactly as I wantit.
Or there was another again, likepermission slip.
(13:21):
Bashar talks about permissionslips and letting ourselves have
a way to release what is so,since I've been working, long
way of saying since I've beenworking with this unicorn, I
call it equation for myself.
It kind of flowed into my ideasfor the title of the book and I
realized too the power offrequency and that that unicorn
(13:44):
frequency is when you're reallythinking big and you're really
in your thrill and you have moreenergy and more power because
it's all about your frequencyand that felt like the highest
frequency I could come up withis it's fun, it's free, it's
magical and it's my thrill.
So that's what came through inmy meditation, and then I could
(14:07):
feel how excited I was about thetitle, because I was part of me
was feeling not the pressurebut the desire that I wanted a
really cool title or somethingthat was cool to me, and I was
so excited to share that titlewith my publisher.
He loved it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It was imaginative
and colorful to people, and so
that's the origin story for mybook title and as you were
speaking I was thinking it's apermission slip to not be
reasonable or logical yeah, unreunreasonable yeah, and reason
yeah yes, and I love that youbrought that word up, reason.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
That's the thing,
because even when I would kind
of start my little list is likeas a divinely inspired human and
this and that, like I wasreally making my best effort,
but I could feel massivedifference between thinking of
myself as an enlightened beingand truly cutting cords with
reasonable or reality, as aunicorn.
And I noticed on the lastcruise I went on, abraham cruise
(15:12):
in the caribbean.
They introduced new languagethat is totally the same vibe
and they said audacious.
And I love that because whenyou're being audacious, you're
being unreasonably optimisticand unreasonably excited and
it's that lack of reason and theboldness of really letting
(15:36):
yourself believe you can have it, know you can have it and and
so, yeah, I think so I did.
Audacious is a beautiful wordthat I love that they introduced
because it starts.
It just gives you more flavorin the same arena.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Speaking of Gina
Mallison, who Reed was just
referring to, I have a quickmessage for you.
As most of you know, I use theMallison method, a method she
created.
In my coaching practice, Ioften refer to it as
calibrations.
I actually was in the firsttraining group that Gina
facilitated and was one of thefirst people to encourage her to
(16:15):
teach this method, because Iwanted to learn it so badly.
So not only has my lifetransformed by receiving
calibrations myself, my clientshave benefited from it as well.
In fact, I've built a thrivingcoaching practice by making a
difference in people's livesusing the Malison Method.
(16:37):
Maybe that's something you'reinterested in, starting your own
coaching business, or maybeyou'd simply like to learn this
method for your own spiritualgrowth and well-being.
Either way, I've got somewonderful news for you.
Over the years, many of youhave asked me how you can learn
this method.
Well, the time is.
(16:57):

Alrighty, then now back to theinterview.
And you know, it's funny.
I'm also noticing I don't knowhow long it was ago that I
interviewed you, but I had thisthought even before the
interview earlier today like I'mnot the same person that I was
(18:29):
when I interviewed you last,because I remember we were
talking about, like I manifestedsome cushions for the outside
chairs and I was like I rememberthat interview so much and that
know how we're not even thesame person as, like six months
ago.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Seriously, it's true,
even like from day to day.
I've had people who are closeto me like mentors, like Katie,
who's in my book, was with methis weekend and she could feel
a difference in my point ofattraction from when she was
here with me to two days later,flowing energy.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yes, so much, so much
.
One of the things I wanted tomention talk to you about.
One of the things I really loveabout the book is how you talk
about your relationship withyour inner being, and I know a
lot of that started with Katie.
I mean, it didn't start withher, right, because you've
(19:33):
always had a relationship withyour inner being, but it sounds
like she's really good atfacilitating that relationship.
And I'm just curious because Ilove talking to people's inner
beings as well.
I'm just wondering if you mightshare a little bit about how
the session starts out, does shejust?
(19:55):
Well?
First let me ask you if that'sokay.
Yeah, absolutely.
And just to give fair credit.
So her name is KT, is it Brady?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yes, KT Brady.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Just to give her a
shout out.
So how does she start?
Or what is that experience likeworking with her, where you get
to connect with your innerbeing?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
yes, that's a good
point because she is throughout
my book.
Because so much of that year offun.
It was explosive orexponentially progressive,
because I was havingconversations with my inner
being twice a week and that themomentum of that was really what
I would credit for the largestpart of my transformation.
(20:41):
I mean, it was a commitment tobe in a higher frequency of fun,
but it was also those sessionswere happening.
And just to back up a littlebit for the listeners, I didn't
know her until I went on acruise.
It was my second cruise and Iwrite about this in the book but
she was sitting two or threerows in front of me, just the
(21:02):
back of her head, and at thetime I didn't even question it,
but I just knew I needed to knowher and that she was different
than anyone I'd ever met.
What I love is I didn't evenquestion that.
How would I even know that?
It just felt like the mostclear, natural thing.
But but this is just the backof her head, but I could tell
from watching her she wasdifferent and so I just
(21:26):
organically thought I willintroduce myself to her on a
break.
And then, as I got to know herduring that cruise, I found out,
wait, you have a, you're aspiritual coach.
And then, when I got to knowher during that cruise, I found
out, wait, you're a spiritualcoach.
And then, when I found out thather gift is, she doesn't.
When you work with her, shedoesn't have an itinerary or a
curriculum that she thinks arelike these are wise paths.
(21:49):
She literally sits down at thetime of your call, focuses in
and tunes into you, your innerbeing, and then she calls you
and it's recorded and then youare.
When I pick up the phone, I amtalking to my inner being, Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
So she's channeling
your inner being.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yes, she is exactly
and she's translating and it
becomes the mouthpiece, just asEsther Hicks is translating
Abraham.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You're hearing
Abraham through Esther, but in
KT's situation, she's nottranslating Abraham, she's
translating you, translatingAbraham, she's translating you.
And when I heard that sheoffers that, that was a hell.
Yes, I want to have a sessionat the earliest convenience, and
(22:44):
so that's how it works.
And I loved, as I was workingwith her, she reminded me.
I know it seems like you'retalking to me, but this is 100%
coming from you.
I don't remember what we talkabout when we hang up, because
this was you coming through andI can just tune into it, and not
(23:07):
just tune into it, but voice it.
So what a fun.
I mean talk about my year offun.
To me, that was the highest fun.
I mean talk about my year offun.
To me, that was the highest fun.
How could it not be?
Is to have access to your innerbeing in those ways, and, of
course, we have access to ourinner being always.
We are our inner being, buthumanly focused.
(23:27):
It was a unique opportunity andit's been beautiful.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
One of the things I
love about the book is your
communication with your innerbeing, and you tell lots and
lots of stories about that.
So it sounds to me like shehelped you then get to know your
inner being even more, whereyou can actually have a dialogue
with your inner being, likeyou're sitting by the pools,
(23:56):
like, well, inner being, whatshould I do?
Next is next, or what do I feellike?
What would feel better?
(24:18):
What would feel better now?
I have two hour break.
What would feel better now todo?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
but I like that of
talking to your inner being it's
pretty wild, and and I foundtoo that I, since I worked with
her for a six month block, Ilearned early on that I would.
I wouldn't even know whatquestions to ask or have
questions to ask.
I just desired to expand.
(24:46):
And so what I learned is Icould just show up for the call
unless I had something specificI wanted to talk about or a
beautiful thing that happenedthat I wanted more detail on, I
wanted to discuss.
I would just ask in the call,90% of the time, what am I ready
to hear next?
Because and I found that itwould be a topic and I would
(25:08):
think, oh, that's interesting,and I would be just, it would
feel new and a stretch orexpansive.
But I was ready and I couldwork through any discomfort that
might come up, like, forexample, when I was offered my
retirement package.
I love the idea of being free,but I had so many years in my
(25:29):
belief systems about well.
I always earned money from apaycheck every two weeks, so
it's fun to be paid.
Well, at the time I didn't knowI was going to get double.
But what happens when that runsout?
Like what will I?
I'll need to earn money, and,and I realized.
So then I had a couple days ofreally tuning into where am I
(25:51):
now versus how I've lived mylife so far.
Do I trust the universe toprovide for me or am I, or is my
, is my income and my abundanceand a paycheck from a company?
And I could feel myselfcatching up from the gap of what
(26:15):
I'd expanded to, from what Iwas used to living, and it felt
terrifying.
But I checked in with myself,like so this isn't with a call
in KT, but when I would bemeditating between our calls,
like we would meet twice a week,I would listen to the old, the
last recording of our call and Iwould just really tune in and I
could feel the truth of like,oh, I am ready to trust the
(26:36):
universe to provide for me.
And whenever I would get thattemptation to return to the
feeling of terror or scared, Iwould just check in with myself
again.
And eventually I was like Imoved fully into what I'd
expanded to, which is is I askedfor more freedom, I asked for
money to be free, it's.
(26:58):
I'm not in charge of how itshows up, it is showing up and I
I recognize the truth of whatI've asked for in this form and
I'm going to say yes.
But I didn't say yes from aplace of fear, like I needed to
catch up.
So that's kind of an examplewhere something new happened.
(27:18):
I had my inner being to check inwith through KT and we could do
this without KT.
You know, we can meditate andtune into our inner being and
ask ourselves these questions,but since I was in the program
with her, a one-on-one, ofcourse I would share what I was
most important to me at the time.
So that's kind of an example ofhow I would work through
(27:44):
questions.
And then, and of course myinner being, would bring these
things up because they can feelmy inner, I mean because they
are my energy.
So they would say, hey, youknow, do you want this?
Do you want to be retired, yesor no?
Like I loved how my inner beingcould find the way to reach me.
Of course it was perfect,always in it just was invaluable
(28:06):
.
She was a cooperative componentthat I summoned because I
wanted more clarity and morefreedom, and she was a
cooperative component and a pathof least resistance for my
journey.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I want to take a
quick second to make sure you
know about a few free gifts Ihave for you, including my Love
your Body, love your Life onlinecourse, which includes over 20
short videos based on my fivesteps to loving your body and
making peace with food.
There are other free goodiesfor you there as well, when you
go to DeliciousAlignmentcom.
Slash resources.
(28:39):
Now back to the interview.
So how do you connect with yourinner being now which, as you
said, our inner being is us, weare, we're not separate.
It's just a way ofcommunicating with our higher
selves.
You have the instruction guideunicorn instructional guide and
(29:00):
you have some things there thatpeople can do, just as a guide,
to help them tap into thisunicorn frequency.
So I'd like to go over a few ofthose.
So I'd like to go over a few ofthose, and let's start with
number one, which is meditateevery day and follow the ideas
that present themselves to you.
(29:20):
So tell me about yourmeditation practices, if you
like.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Sure, when I first
found Abraham Hicks, they
introduced me.
I started listening to thevideos and I read the book the
Law of of attraction, and Ifound it through an Oprah
Winfrey book recommendation.
And they talked aboutmeditation.
(29:45):
So then I started working withthe guided meditations because I
felt like I don't know how todo this.
I've never done it and ifthere's going to be a guided
meditation I want that.
So I did that for months andmonths and months and then I, as
I got used to that, I wouldfind new forms.
But for me today, meditating Icall it more like reaching for
alignment and I find if, whetherit's meditating or being still
(30:08):
and consciously tuning intomyself and talking to myself
about, well, what do I wanttoday, what feels good for today
, what do I want to ask theuniverse for today, or ask
myself really my higher self,and I can just feel, whatever
the way in, I can feel thatconnection to source is at a
(30:33):
high point and the energy spikesand I can feel like, oh,
contact made.
And it's not that I wasn'thappy before, but I can really
feel from that focus andconnection point okay, contact
made.
I'm feeling like on top of theworld and I'm ready to start my
day.
And I'm ready to start my day,so I would say, just tuning into
(30:55):
yourself in whatever formSometimes it's.
I often do that just before Ileave the house and it can
happen in seconds.
And sometimes I set the timerfor 25 minutes and I just keep
reaching and thinking andfeeling around for it until I
find it.
So that's the day-to-daypractice, but often if I have
(31:16):
something specifically, I'mreaching for a question or a
desire.
I will voice it, like one ofmine, kind of recently, was I
want to understand more thepower of now.
It's a common theme in so manyteachers Abraham Hicks, like you
name it, bash bashar and so Ithought I am definitely checking
(31:37):
with myself moment by moment,but I feel like there's so much
I sense, there's so much more tothis concept of the magnitude
of now that I would please showme universe some new details,
some new dots connected.
That emphasizes the more that'savailable to me about this, how
(31:59):
I can understand the power ofnow and the magnitude of now.
And so that's just an exampleof whatever's at the forefront
of my curiosity and my desire.
And, sure enough, I'll have amoment and maybe hours later.
And I because I asked when theanswer shows up even if it seems
unrelated or not expected,there's always a recognition
(32:22):
because I asked when the answercomes in, Like oh wait, holy
smokes, this is part of the nowLike I can connect it back and
it's always an answer comingthrough that you asked for.
Connect it back, and it'salways an answer coming through
that you asked for.
So for me, meditation hasevolved over time and I call it
now reaching for alignment andit just is a checking in with
(32:42):
myself identifying.
Sometimes it would be as simpleas stating and really feeling
three things I know the goodnessof me, with no question, I am
safe on all topics and in allways, and I accept perfection of
where I now stand.
(33:03):
Those three things have reallyhelped me cast a net to see if
there's any kind of thread outthere that needs to be realigned
.
And I think a lot of us havelived so much of our lives kind
of thinking about the future orexcited about the future, and so
, like for me that last oneabout I accept the perfection of
where I now stand, I can feelthe shift of like, oh yeah, I
(33:25):
don't need to know something newor know something more or wait
for something new to understand.
I don't need to wait foranything, like right now, where
I stand, I am good to gocomplete on fire with abundance
joy and it really helps.
I can feel the differencebetween those three things, of
(33:47):
how it kind of reaches thedifferent parts of our human
experience, like the desire tobe safe, to feel safe, like if I
had yeah right, because it'seven.
It could be like I want to feelsafe about money, I want to feel
safe about putting myself outthere emotionally with a friend
(34:07):
and like whatever it is like, wejust want to feel safe and and
so, tuning into that, I'm like,oh yeah, I of course have the
right and am safe on everything,always, no matter what the
topic.
Yeah, so you know, it's kind oflike you just discover these
new tools that you pay attentionto and think, oh, I'm going to
work with that because it feelsreally good and it aligns me
(34:30):
yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So it's not per se
that you sit down and have a
formal meditation every day.
You're doing you, you'refollowing your guidance, your
inner guidance of what feelsgood.
I mean, once in a while it is asit down meditation, but many
times it sounds like it's simplyjust tuning in and, like you
said, connecting.
When you feel that connectionand it cannot, it can happen
(34:51):
very quickly when you take thetime to just be, still, get
quiet yeah, and it's a, it's a.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I can feel it in my
body kind of in my heart center.
So I I love that over themonths.
Sometimes I can just close myeyes and if I feel that wave of
divine connection, like I knowI'm aligned and it just can be
that easy and just to also bepatient with yourself and love
yourself wherever you are andand feel your way through it
(35:20):
yeah, yes, absolutely be patientwith yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
And what would you
say to someone who would like to
feel safer in this reality thatwe're living in?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, I think the
moments I would notice, feeling
terror and not safe.
I realized, like with myretirement, when I first was
presented with that idea I thinkAbraham talks about sometimes,
this idea that's just in yourmind.
When it shows up in the realworld, you can feel the gap and
the difference of it and just bepatient and let it yourself
(36:00):
catch up, and so I've so.
When I have those moments whereI feel unsafe or terror about a
topic, I feel like that's justthe universe saying oh look,
there's vibrational feedbackthat there's a topic that you
desire to be aligned to butneeds some work to align to.
(36:23):
So like one time I received atax bill and it was laughable
and I thought I was covered withmy taxes and it was.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
You mean, it was like
a lot more than you thought it
would be.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
It was hilariously
large and I felt immediate
terror and I thought, oh, I mustnot feel safe about money.
And so I let myself sense theterror or the surprise and the
gulp and then say, instead ofbeing and identifying with the
freak out or theuncomfortableness, I just like,
(36:56):
oh, let me shore myself up onthis topic and just kind of
observe it, Honor the feedbackyou're getting and think, oh, I
need to align on this area and Iwant to feel safe on all topics
.
So in a way, you can kind oflet yourself off the hook and
just say, oh, this is what'sgoing on, this is just an
invitation for me to clean upsome energy on a topic that I
(37:19):
didn't realize until this momentcould use some addressing
that's a great way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yes, it's an
opportunity.
So if you feel this fear orscared, yeah, like, oh, this is
an opportunity for me to raisemy unicorn frequency.
You Like, yeah, I get inalignment.
There's some more for lack of abetter word work that I can do
in this area, on this topic.
(37:47):
Yeah, one of the other things Iwanted to ask you about in your
book was your story about, uh,your mom, a meditation that you
had, and then it led you I thinkkt had asked you to connect
with your mom.
Yeah, and you can expound onthat.
(38:07):
But long story short, it led tothis song.
You were guided to listen tothis song and it's one Eskimo
and the song is amazing, and Iactually looked up the lyrics
before I read that.
I looked up the lyrics and thenthe next sentence, I think, was
(38:40):
that I, I was compelled to lookup the lyrics.
So I'm like, oh, yeah, we're inin alignment here, and I love
that line as well.
That one of the lines is I'mI'm not in my skin, something
like that, but I feel everything.
So maybe you could talk aboutthat whole experience a little
(39:01):
bit, that's in the book yeahthat one.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
I'd always desired to
feel connected to my mom and
she had transitioned in 1999, soit was a while ago and I knew
intellectually that she wasaround, but I didn't.
I wanted to feel it and andanyway.
So in one of my sessions, myinner being said we're going to
(39:27):
give you an assignment and we'regoing to invite you to ask to
start a meditation whenever,like the tomorrow or when we're
not on the call, start ameditation and ask yourself what
, ask your mom, what does itfeel like to be source energy
with no physical body?
(39:47):
And I was like, okay, and itwas very specific, and so I
tried to do it that night, butthen nothing was really coming
through.
So I thought I'll just do it inthe morning and I was sitting
there asking in meditation, so,like normally I would do guided
meditations at that point.
So this was kind of new for meto just really just ask a
(40:09):
question and listen.
And you know, I felt good, Icould feel joyful energy.
But there was was nothing, nomessage was coming through.
And I kept kind of getting thislittle impulse to like get my
phone that was laying next to meand listen to a song.
And I just thought, like, likeI'm meditating, and I just
(40:29):
thought it just didn't makesense to me, and but it kept
coming and finally I thought,okay, I, I don't know I just did
it and it was this Beatles song.
So this was a weird, really funmulti-step thing that was very
mystical.
I've not often had that levelof an experience, but it was
(40:50):
super special.
And this song that I was beingguided to was Let it Be, and I
don't listen to the Beatles.
I mean, I respect them, butit's just not something I
listened to.
So I looked up let it be and Iand you know my mom's name was
Mary, and so the song is aboutmother Mary comes to me, and so
(41:15):
I could just feel like my bodyexploding with just emotion and
connection with my mom.
So then I listened to the songand I returned to my meditation
and I asked you know what?
What mom?
What does it feel like to besource energy with no physical
body?
And then I got this impulse tolisten to another song.
I was just like what's the deal?
And so I finally said then Idid it, and it was this one
(41:36):
eskimo song called amazing.
And'd already listened to thissong.
I'd already even referenced itin the book of being feeling
very connected to source when Iwould listen to it.
And I just thought this was thestrangest thing to listen to
songs that I already knew.
It didn't really make sense tome, but I surrendered and was
light about it.
So I listened to it and theopening line is again with this
(41:56):
question question in mind what'sit like to not have a physical
body?
and the opening line was I haveno skin and I feel everything,
and I could not believe thespecificity of that answer yes
to a song I was alreadylistening to but didn't had
never heard it in these terms,and I just was and the song just
(42:20):
kept going and I was justcrying and like holy cow, and
and then I and it just keptgoing, like so that song was
very special because there wasfrom now on, we will rise
together as one.
I mean, it just kept going and Iwanted to.
I had all the lyrics in thebook because it was uncanny.
(42:41):
But with publishing, youthere's rules about publishing
lyrics, even if you give creditto the author of the band, so so
that's why you needed to lookup the lyrics actually, because
they weren't in there.
And so that was the mostshocking, beautiful surprise.
Blow me away.
(43:02):
And it just kept going.
And then it was like searchspecific words on youtube and
I'm like, and it was like flyingin space or something like very
specific, and I so I go toyoutube and I google it and so
you get this.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
I.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I did read that part
as well, so you get, then you
get this message it kept going,like each stage of that
meditation was were new stepsand I just kept following with
following it until I knew it wascomplete.
It was a thrilling experienceto receive downloads just in
receptive mode.
It was new, a new experiencefor me.
(43:39):
So that and what?
And that was the first timethat I received, I could hear
the guidance to do certainthings.
But then I also felt a new formof receiving that I'd never
felt before, and that's whatpeople call a download where one
second you don't know something, but then something.
Suddenly your operating systemis updated and you know
(44:02):
something.
And I felt this, knowing thatthat song by Juan Eskimo was.
I knew that the Let it Be songby Paul McCartney was just to
inspire me and was a directmessage.
But I had this knowing thatJuan Eskimoimo, that my mom had
been there as non-physicalinspiration to inspire them to
write the song as a way, as away to message me specifically,
(44:27):
and that was just suddenly in myknowing and I thought what?
And so that was thrilling andbeautiful to understand too.
And I, in my next session withKT and my inner being, I asked
like I had this download and isthat true?
And they said why are youasking?
If you know it's true, I'm likebecause I can, and it's fun for
(44:49):
me to be able to have likeanother, to ask my inner being
like.
Will you validate this for me?
And so that was a very.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
That's one of my
favorite experiences that I had
in my 12 years of fun yes, thatwas a really touching story in
the book and, yeah, I mean, tome it's obvious like your mother
was communicating with you andso you were close with your mom
oh yeah, she.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
There are people that
we have in our lives that I
feel like are soulmates orthere's a special connection,
non-physical connection, and mymom and I always had that
special like I could see hergifts from probably a divine on
a divine stage or a divine levelor degree on a divine stage or
a divine level or degree, and Iprobably didn't know how to
(45:38):
articulate it that way, but Ijust saw her value and her, how
special she was and just alwaysknew that about her and we just
had a special connection.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Yeah, beautiful.
Hi there.
Just wanted to take a quickmoment to let you know about the
delicious alignment and thewisdom of Oprah event.
Ramona Gailey and I have a dateand location for our one day
workshop in the Asheville area,october 19th.
The location is only 15 minutesfrom the Asheville airport and
(46:10):
close to the Biltmore, blackMountain, chimney, rock Lake,
lure and much, much more.
About the workshop itselfRamona Gailey receives her
guides Oprah, different Oprah toanswer your questions.
This is a hot seat formatsimilar to one you would see at
an Abraham Hicks workshop, butmuch smaller and more intimate,
(46:32):
with ample opportunities tointeract directly with Oprah and
get your questions answered.
And as the author of DeliciousAlignment how 25 Women Learn to
Love and Transform their Bodiesusing Abraham Hicks and the Law
of Attraction, I will facilitatea workshop on this day focused
on self-love, body love andappreciating our food
(46:53):
unapologetically Stay tuned formore details.
Food unapologetically Staytuned for more details.
Now back to the interview.
Let's go through a couple morehere.
It really is a lot about funAll of your instructional guide
and your unicorn instructionalguide.
Live like you're always onvacation.
Look for what's next.
(47:14):
Trust your inner enthusiasm.
Stop expecting others to knowwhat's best for you.
Let's talk about that one alittle bit.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
That's a good one,
that's huge.
We are so programmed and usedto asking people what do you
think.
And here's a situation likewhat's your advice?
And that was one of the mostliberating things that I learned
was nobody has walked in yourshoes, even if you've known them
your entire life, likeeveryone's, everyone's lens is
(47:46):
through them, through self, andthey can't answer that.
For you, it's liberating toreally trust and tune everyone
out and tune into yourself andlike well, what do I feel?
Because no one else can feelyour vibration and your
enthusiasm.
They can feel your alignmentand people will offer their
(48:06):
opinions and it's almostlaughable, like I would notice,
you know, people would tell methings like it is the truth and
it's like, oh, you don't want todate this person because
they're this age or they're thisand they're so sure about it.
I just have to laugh likethat's fine, like you have no
idea what's right for me.
I, because you can't hear andfeel my inner being resonating
within me.
Nobody could feel me recognizeKT, a stranger, and in my bones
(48:31):
I just there was no evenquestion.
It was like, oh, I need to knowher.
So why should I ask my neighborlike should I know her Like how
would they know?
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Right, right, and I
meant to bring this in before.
I just love that you saw theback of her head, because in the
book you say all you saw wasthe back of her head.
You didn't even see her faceand you just knew.
Like, energetically, I need toknow this person and I've
experienced that before.
Where you know, I take improvclasses, I always bring that up
(49:06):
because I love it.
But when I was in the classthere were two or three people
in that class that I didn't knowyet but I knew that I'm going
to know them well, like asfriends or in some capacity and
improv capacity.
I almost wanted to say to themhey, how are you doing we're,
(49:28):
we're gonna be really goodfriends, like I saw into the
future, almost like thefriendship was already there
right, so so cool yeah you, wefeel things energetically and we
don't even have to think aboutit.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
It's just part of our
knowing.
And I just want to also likeemphasize I love that you're
doing improv, because I can'tthink of a better way to be
immersed in the power of now, inthe magnitude of now, like that
is doing improv, and so goodfor you to cultivate those
muscles, those vibrationalmuscles of being in the now and
(50:04):
and being comfortable in the nowand knowing you have what you
need to know in this second, andit's all being created moment
by I mean literally moment bymoment.
So what?
I can't think of anything morebeautifully aligned to that, the
now.
Yes, then, what you're doingwith your improv, so good for
(50:26):
you yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
It's so true.
It really is helping me be inin the moment and not worry
about, even in these interviewslike what am I going to say, or
am I going to know what to say,or you know, yeah, just being in
the moment.
And, and, to add, I did wind upgetting to know these two guys,
(50:50):
or three guys, yeah, like in ina show capacity, in a improv
capacity, like I wound upworking with them closely and
having this wonderful rapportwith them.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
It's so cool.
That is cool, and you know, Ijust thought.
Another thing that's reallybeautiful and I think it's in my
instructional guide as well istrust yourself to show up, that
you will show up for yourselfand you're doing that too.
It's like what a powerfulexercise to be in that you're
living in the moment, to trustyourself to show up and that you
(51:23):
will be what you want to be andyou'll have the outcomes you
want.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
you're in your flow
and and you can apply that to
every part of your life yourpodcast, yeah, yeah, it's really
cool yeah, and what I loveabout it too, which is so
different than the way that Iused to live, is I really don't
know where any of this is going.
I don't have an agenda, I don'thave a strategy.
That's very different than theway that I used to live in terms
(51:50):
of anything I took on and justfollowing the breadcrumbs and
following what feels betterfollowing the breadcrumbs and
following what feels better,amazing.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
Yeah, wouldn't it be
nice if they taught that to
every man, woman and child, likein school, so people could
release and surrender totrusting themselves in the now,
moment by moment, to show up andhave the confidence that you'll
know what you need to know andyou'll you can be in the flow
and not have to like make a listand check it and ahead of time,
(52:25):
and that you can really trustyour, the fullness of you, to
show up.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yes, I mean I think
there are some, some schools
that teach medic meditation,even here in Asheville, to young
children.
I'm just not in that worldanymore, but I have heard about
it recently in different partsof the country, probably the
world, so I think it's happeningon some level.
It'll keep evolving.
(52:52):
Yeah, let's do one more fromyour book and then we want to
find out how people can find youand what you're up to in terms
of anything else you want to letus know about.
Let's see, live like you'realways on vacation.
So how does one do that?
Even if you're living paycheckto paycheck right now, how do
(53:14):
you live like you're always onvacation?
Speaker 1 (53:22):
now, how do you live?
Like you're always on vacation.
I think it's a lightness toexpect that and to think of
yourself as well.
For example, when I had thelike lightning bolt inspiration
to even do the experiment, itcame from abraham hicks.
Like we're about to leave theseminar and they said when
you're, you know, you're on thiscruise, you at a seminar,
you're away from your normallife.
(53:43):
Don't go back to your normallife and just immerse yourself
in the grocery list, all yourresponsibilities, like laundry
and your kids and work.
Like, yes, do those things, buthave your primary focus be fun.
Like, yes, do those things, buthave your primary focus be fun,
and then all of yourresponsibilities and the
(54:09):
necessities of life will moreefficiently take care of
themselves because you're in areceiving mode of fun.
And then I just was like, wow,I got it.
Have more fun, expect to livein an attitude of fun and be
light about your life and go getyourself, like Abraham Hicks
talks about.
Like go get a soda or whateverit is.
That's your fun thing.
Where you, it doesn't have tobe serious.
And to me, I love coffee, so myfavorite thing is just to get a
(54:42):
coffee and savor it and enjoymy life and appreciate and sit
in appreciation while I witheach sip, and so you can, even
if you have an a busy work day,if you know that you're living
what you desire and yourintention is to be the fullest
version of yourself.
Show me how to have more fun.
Show me how to be, to feel likeI'm more on vacation, even
(55:02):
though what's right in front ofme are deadlines and
responsibilities.
Like I desire to see and livethe way I really want to live,
always regardless of thecircumstances, and feel that way
and just trusting yourself andthe universe.
With that desire and thatintention, and just trusting
yourself and the universe, withthat desire and that intention,
you will get your own ideas andcheck in with yourself.
Like am I being light about mylife?
(55:25):
And start being appreciative of.
Like, yes, I have this job andit might be stressful or
demanding, but that's what isright now.
Show me how to find the funalong the way of my workday or
laughing with my colleagues or,you know, just expect it.
Like.
That's the thing about theunicorn.
(55:46):
Frequency, too, is expectationis huge, and I feel like when
you're expecting on a unicornlevel or a magic wand level or
an audacious I'm audacious levelyour expectation changes and
helps expand what's possible.
So, if you really do believelike I may have no idea right
(56:06):
now how my work day is going tofeel like I'm on vacation, but I
am wide open for theinspiration and the impulses
that are going to be new, thatare going to show up, because
I've asked for them and I'mloved dearly by the universe,
and you will get ideas, so andthey'll be customized to you and
(56:28):
maybe you know you'll havebetter rendezvous with the
people that you do have at work,and so that's how I would.
That's my idea, I would say, ishow to integrate this desire to
live like you're on vacation,but like intentionally, like
what are my favorite things todo?
Am I doing them or do I alwaysput them on the shelf?
It can be practical too.
(56:48):
Like I'm gonna go get a coffeeevery day, like I would.
Actually, when I was working formy in my corporate job, I
noticed that it felt fun to notgo from my apartment straight to
the office.
It felt more fun to work in 20or 30 minutes, even though it
meant getting up earlier andstop at a coffee shop before and
(57:09):
have a delicious like.
Maybe I'd have a muffin, likesomething yummy, with my coffee
and I.
It just felt.
It felt like I was on vacationand then I got to go to work and
it was just such a fun way tomove into the day and it could
be like, oh, I'm going to go ona walk at lunch or I'm going to
go whatever it is.
You know what your favoritethings are.
(57:29):
How can you bring those andexpect to live those more
regularly?
Speaker 2 (57:34):
yeah, yeah, like for
me's.
Just I know that if I take awalk every day on the trail, it
doesn't have to be the trail.
We got to have a trail righthere, it could be somewhere else
, but that really lifts me up.
I call it my mental health walk, you know.
Speaker 1 (57:55):
I mean it's for
spiritual health, it's for
everything, but it really is formental health because it just
makes me feel good and so justlooking it could, it could be
something free, it could besomething like you said just a
cup of coffee, just writing downthose things that you enjoy and
then just adding more of thatinto your life fun and just
looking for opportunities forcreating more fun and I think,
(58:19):
too, like if you feel fun, evenif nothing changes in your
schedule, but you are tuning inspecifically to I am an amazing
person, I'm loved by theuniverse and feel the joy and
the beauty of your being and letyourself be playful, so you
could have a playful mindset andthat is going to match up in
(58:43):
the universe with things thatare fun and playful.
So, yeah, tune into yourself andchoose to be playful and look
at life.
As I remember, in my book Iwrote about being super
frustrated with my partner thathe would not clean up his piles
of junk and mess, and it wasimpacting me, because I like an
(59:04):
orderly space and I want ourcommon areas to feel beautiful.
And I was just getting so Icould feel myself escalating
into, like my smoke coming outof my ears, because I kind of
had it and the words came intomy mind that I had just listened
to a video a couple of daysbefore, like be light about your
life, and that came into me andI thought, oh, wow, I am not
(59:28):
being light right now about mylife.
So, though, that's probably anexample of the beginning process
of letting yourself be playfuland light and noticing like does
this feel playful to think thisright now do I want to go down
this path or do I want to changecourse?
And and so that's another yeah,and and it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
It can be challenging
, though, when you both have
different ways of being in termsof the house and the home like
my husband and I as well havedifferent, different ideas, and
it's no fun getting upset.
But.
But even if you do get upset, Imean that's okay too.
(01:00:12):
That's part of that's thecontrast.
The contrast happens and it'snot bad.
It just gives you clues to whatyou want.
It's useful information whenyou feel that.
Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
I agree.
And then if you just don't staythere and you just look at it,
I think when you have a sinceredesire for anything like show me
how in the world to be, feellike I'm on vacation, that
sincere, earnest desire will beanswered in maybe small ways but
you will feel the answers cometo you.
So I wasn't asking, and myoutrage and my frustration to
(01:00:51):
feel better.
But then those words, my innerbeing fed me those words and it
just totally dissolved thesituation and I could pivot and
I was so great, you know, I'm sohappy.
So even when we're not asking,like our intention of our heart
for where we want our momentumto go is maybe even unspoken,
but it's there and it answeredyes, it's always there.
Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
It's always there and
working things out for our
behalf.
Yeah, yeah, beautiful.
