We revisit fundamental spiritual practices like grounding, clearing, and protecting while challenging the notion that there's only one correct approach to energy work.
• Grounding connects your energy to Earth through visualization of roots growing from your feet
• Clearing sends unwanted energies down through your roots into Mother Earth for transmutation
• Centering involves calling back your own energy using an "Iron Man" visualization of energy plates returning to you
• Protection creates a mirrored egg-shaped barrier around your aura that reflects unwanted energies
• Empaths often feel overwhelmed in crowds because they have "cheese grater" auras that let in everything
• Understanding your baseline energy helps you discern what sensations belong to you versus others
• Physical symptoms like sudden headaches often indicate you're picking up someone else's energy
• With experience, practitioners develop personalized energy maintenance that may not follow conventional methods
• Spiritual gatekeepers who insist on rigid rules limit your connection to the unlimited potential of the universe
• Finding your unique approach to spiritual work is always valid and supported
If you have any metaphysical questions you want my perspective on, please reach out. I'm happy to share my thoughts on how things were, how they are now, and where I think they're headed.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello there, welcome back to Empower your Soul.
It's so cool to me how theuniverse works in such
mysterious ways because I justget the right information at the
right time.
And I'm here to do this reallyquick podcast episode and there
is a lot of questions with mymentees about basic spiritual
(00:23):
stuff that you know what.
It's been a few years, you know, like I have breezed over this.
I haven't thought about this.
I know there's very strongopinions on some of this stuff.
So I love this.
It's like revisitingspirituality 101 with me and
assessing do I have the sameperspective that I used to have?
And, like I'm glad to say, thesame perspective that I used to
(00:47):
have and, like I'm glad to say,I have changed my mind on a lot
of things.
So I want to talk aboutgrounding, clearing, protecting
energy in this episode, but Ithink there's other things that
will eventually pop up and, bythe way, I am always proud I am
okay, I'm pausing for a secondbecause I am an eternal
perfectionist.
Right, perfectionism isdefinitely some trauma I got in
(01:09):
my youth and I mean you'retalking to somebody who
graduated sixth in their classin high school.
I was, I think I was fourth inmy college Like, and so
perfectionism for me is isdefinitely a flaw and not an
attribute that I'm proud of, andit has been a lifetime of
overcoming perfectionism andreally, because it's all about
(01:33):
trying to fit the mold of othersright, perfectionism is the way
that I would get attention andlove.
So if I'm perfect, I'mdeserving of love, but I digress
Anyway.
So it's been this lifetime forme to undo this perfectionism,
and so it is so cringe to me tohave my social media account and
(01:53):
, to be honest with you, havethis podcast a little bit too,
because what I put out here outon the web as in someone who
used to work in IT, I know it'sforever.
And so, like I look at my mostcringe videos on TikTok that
have gone viral and they've beenout there for like a year and a
half now and I look at it, I'mlike, oh my God, I look so tired
(02:18):
, I look so sad, and this is Benand I was corporate, so that
both of those things are true,but also there's so much I
didn't learn yet, and so I wantto pay homage to any of you to
where you're at in your journey,because it's exactly where
you're supposed to be and theopinions you have today are the
(02:40):
exact opinions you're supposedto have today.
And if, just if you get moreinformation and change your mind
on some of these opinions,perspectives, I'm fucking
celebrating you because thatmeans you are growing.
You are not one of those stickin the mud people who set a
decision and, come hell or highwater, decide that this is
(03:04):
exactly what I need to do, andI'm flawed, I'm a failure, I'm a
fake, I'm an F If I don't, if Ichange my mind, because I think
it's unrealistic to expect thatwe have all of the information
at the at the time we'reexpressing these opinions and I
just you know, like.
(03:24):
So I'm celebrating me, I'mgiving myself a pat on the back
today because even in my mostrecent Talking to the Dead 101
classes, I teach people how toground and center and clear your
energy before readings, and Ithink it's important.
I think it's a very importanttopic to learn and for those of
us that have auras that are likeSev's, and those of us that are
(03:49):
empaths and pick up on theemotions and energies of others,
it is super important in yourjourney to learn how to ground,
center and clear your energy,because when you're starting
this journey.
You don't know what's what, youdon't know what's yours, what's
other people's energy, and soit's really important for you to
put this like protectivebarrier on in your aura.
(04:09):
And when I, by the way, it'ssuper easy for those of you that
aren't sure how to do this whenyou ground, you're going to
imagine you're going to haveyour feet on the ground.
It doesn't matter, you can bein a second floor of a house,
you know, 22nd floor of a skyraise, it doesn't matter,
because your intention is thatyour feet are on the ground.
(04:31):
So you're gonna put your feeton the ground, on the floor, and
you're going to envision rootsgrowing down out of your feet
into Mother Earth.
You know, grow them as deep asyou want to.
Some people go to the center ofthe earth, right, some people
say, like, avoid the like, don'tput, don't wrap them around.
I don't know, I don't wrap themaround, I don't know.
I don't get too technical withthis, because it's all about the
intention of connecting toMother Earth and then clearing
is essentially, you're sendingany energy that's not yours down
(04:51):
out through your feet intoMother Earth, through your roots
, and Mother Earth she's, she'smy ride or die.
You know she takes that energyand she transmutes it.
For me, the deer, I love her,she's my best friend, which is
why I just whisper to her allthe time Thank you, mother Earth
, you're amazing.
So that's kind of likegrounding and clearing your
(05:14):
energy.
And, by the way, if you'redoing this and you feel tingling
on the bottom of your feet,that's that energy leaving.
And I have to tell you, everynight when I get in my recliner
and I put my feet up, they'renot on the ground.
I don't think that, honestly,really matters, but every night,
at the end of the day, when Iput my feet up, I feel the
bottom of my feet tingle and I'mlike there goes all of the
energy from the day and it'slike I and I think I
(05:34):
subconsciously set the intentionof releasing the day's energy.
So it happens, whether you likeit or not.
Like is the reality of it withme.
But so we talked aboutgrounding, we talked about
clearing.
Centering is the idea that yougive your energy, your power to
others.
So all you have to do is callback your energy.
And the way this looks in myhead is like Iron man, everybody
(05:55):
.
I literally envision plates ofmy energy that I've given to
other people not a purposeusually, but they come flying
back at me, me, and it's likebringing it back into my aura
and it's like my energy comingback and filling in all the
holes on my aura.
And then I mean that's grounding, centering and clearing.
You can do it.
I mean you have to kind ofground first and then you can
(06:18):
center and clear in whateverdirection you probably want to
center and then clear, becauseif you get that energy back
might have a little residualenergy, but bring that Ironman
energy back at you, have it flyat you like metal plates that
encompasses your energy field,and then clear the energy that's
not yours.
So that's ground and centering,clearing.
(06:38):
And again, this is a reallygood exercise.
And, by the way, if you want toprotect at a whole, whole other
level to that, once you'vegrounded, centered, cleared, all
you do is imagine that you havean egg all around you that goes
three feet out from your body.
So imagine you know your arm'slength all around you from every
direction, including in theground, and that's your energy
field and all you have to do islike set the intention that it
(07:02):
is solid, set the intention thatthe outside is like a mirror
and that essentially creates theintention that I'm not going to
take in other people's energiesand whatever they come at me,
it's going to bounce back tothem and I think that's the
crazy work about all of thisenergy.
It's all, it's all intention.
Everything I do is intention.
I set the intention to connectto your loved ones.
(07:23):
I set the intention to connectthe Akashic records.
I mean, it really is and it's.
It ain't rocket science, it'srocket science to trust it.
It takes a very long time totrust that, but once you've had
enough reading sessions,validations from other people,
you're like, oh no, this isabsolutely working.
And then I'm at the point wherenow I feel energy.
(07:43):
So I know it's working.
It's, it happens.
In moments I'm not even settingthe intention for it to happen.
I'm like, oh, what did thatjust have?
What did that just do?
So where the hell was I goingwith this?
So as as a practitioner, thatstarting your journey, learning
this method of grounding,centering, clearing, protecting
your aura field, is superimportant because you have yet
(08:07):
to really work with andunderstand your own energy.
You don't know what's yours andwhat's other people's and until
you can start, I don't know whyyou're going to have to.
They're showing me something inmy head.
I don't understand it yet.
I know it's they're trying tobe funny, but you're going gonna
have to bring it to me in adifferent way.
But until you go and do this,you don't know what your own
(08:30):
energy is like.
So it gets very difficult todiscern what's yours and what's
other people, and that's,honestly, the beginning of the
process for learning.
For a lot of people is just likelet me figure out what's mine
and what's not mine, and theyjust keep.
They keep in my head, showingme like a casino, right, imagine
the energy of a casino did likehow do you feel when you go
(08:52):
into a casino?
Because if you, if you are notprotecting your energy or
setting the intention not tobring in any other people's and
think of how many people comethrough there, think about the
crazy energy, think about likethe chain smokers, right, so you
, and like I don't know aboutyou, and this is true with Great
Wolf Lodge, with me, with thekids, right, when you get
(09:14):
overstimulated and overwhelmed,and honestly there's like in
every little moment, things arefine, but it adds up, it adds up
and adds up and adds up.
So it's like these layers ofenergy just keep coming in, keep
coming in, and then you feelfucking crazy and you're like I
need to get out of here, I needfresh air.
So this is the feeling for alot of people that are in large
crowds, that can't go in largecrowds, that can't go to
(09:36):
concerts, that can't go topublic spaces, and they get
overwhelmed, is because they'renot fucking protecting their
energy.
They're not fucking protectingtheir energy, they're not
sending the attention to nothave everything in, so it
overwhelms them.
So that's your key Something'sgot to give.
Because if you're protected, ifyou were sending the attention
not to take on others energy,you're going to be fine.
(09:56):
And that's why most people arefine, because they're not even
like walking around with this.
Most people have like cementwalls around them, but empaths
have like a cheese grater aroundthem that lets in all the
freaking energy.
So as, all right, I'm bringingit back, I'm reeling it in, I'm
reeling it in.
So, as I'm talking about this, alot of beginner mediums or
(10:18):
beginner metaphysicalpractitioners need to start with
understanding your energy.
Practitioners need to startwith understanding your energy,
and so that is key when you're,for example, reading dead people
, because the energy of yoursitter is across from you,
whether they're in person orthey're across the world.
The energy of the spirit isgoing to come in and you have to
(10:40):
know what your baseline is.
So, as other people's energycomes in, you know whether it's
yours or not, right when you soit just takes time, like there's
no fast track around this.
It just takes time for you tolearn, for you to practice.
A weird thing that happened tome when I started reading about
this is and, by the way, a greatbook, I think it's Energy
(11:00):
Healing for Empaths by LisaCampion.
Fantastic book for anyonemetaphysical practitioner,
everyday person, don't matterbut she teaches you how to do
these things and she's got someamazing tools in her book, and
one of them is that I neverrealized is you pick up on the
physical ailments of othersaround you and I can't tell you
how many times I felt exhausted.
(11:22):
I'm just driving around andsuddenly I got a headache and
I'm like what?
The and, lo and behold, nowI've learned.
I ask around the car now I'mlike, hey, hey, kids, who's got
the headache?
And then my daughter willinevitably raise her hand.
I'm like, oh, it's you OK.
And a really cool thing is justcheck in with yourself and be
like is this mine, is thisenergy?
(11:45):
Is this headache mine?
Is this sad energy, is thismine?
And you're gonna.
You can either do muscletesting, you can do body
pendulum testing, you can doregular pendulum testing like
you can do anything that givesyou a yes, no, or just use your
intuition and that'll tell youwhether this is yours or not and
if it's not fucking clear it,get rid of it right through the
methods I've told you.
Or just kick that energy outand be like no, thank you,
you're out.
(12:06):
I make it sound so glamorous,don't I this metaphysical work.
Just kick it out, right?
And in case you're wonderingwhat my classes are like,
they're kind of like this,because I just tell you how it
is and I'm like stop thinkingthat don't over complicated, it
doesn't need.
This work does not need to beovercomplicated.
We are literal spirits in thephysical world.
(12:27):
You have all the tools.
Your intention is everythingthat you need.
It's not hard, it's not hard.
I digress again.
I think it's time for me to goget some tea and sit down after
this.
But as you go on in thismetaphysical work, you
(12:47):
inherently know what's yours andwhat's not yours.
So if you asked me when Istarted this work I do it with
the beginners class if groundingand clearing your energy before
and after a mediumship readingis needed, I would have said
absolutely yes, absolutely yes,you need to do it.
(13:08):
You are creating a blank spacefor spirit.
You need to do it.
And then I just had my menteetext me before this and she's
like hey, I am around people allday long.
Do I need to ground and clearmy energy?
If I don't feel like I need to?
And I'm like no, because at acertain point you don't need to
and I'm going to get crucifiedfor this I feel like, but I have
(13:31):
to say it because I don't, I'madmitting it, I am 100%
admitting it.
I do not ground and clear myenergy for shit.
Okay, my grounding is me goingfor a walk outside and it's not
like I'm setting the intentionand maybe this is a projector
thing, maybe this is anintuitive thing that I just do,
because a lot of what I do justcomes out of my mouth.
It's like clear cognizance.
I just know a lot of things Ido.
(13:51):
I just inherently just dobecause I know that I need to do
it.
So this might just be the waythat I function and you might be
very different, and I want tocelebrate the different ways
that we do things and I don'tthink there's anything wrong
with that, but I don't.
I know.
When I get overwhelmed, I take anap that resets my energy
projector over here, right?
Or I go for a walk, I getoutside and that alone removes
(14:17):
any energy.
That's not mine, refreshes me,brings me back to center.
So, no, I don't ground andclear before or after my
readings ever, but I do payattention to my own energy and
what I need.
Do I need more water?
Do I need grounding, like, do Ineed foods that come from
(14:37):
Mother Earth?
Because that's grounding, right?
Do I have rocks next to me formy shamanism class?
Do I just hold a stone afterreading because I feel very
ungrounded, right?
I think my favorite thing that Ido is at a crystal mine after I
do my demonstrations, aftereverybody leaves.
Every single time I go over tothe fluorite and they have these
(14:58):
massive.
I really want to take one homeone of these days.
I'll buy it eventually.
They have these massivefluorite crystals that are just
like raw.
They aren't spheres, they'rejust raw.
They're taken right out ofmother earth and I just
literally go over and put myhands on it and I can feel, I
can feel the energy of this hugehonking fluoride just coming in
(15:21):
and I can feel it just hummingin my heart and refreshing me
and bringing me back to balance.
So, no, I don't do it.
I don't.
I don't ground and clear, but Ifind my own ways to to
rebalance my energy, and I'mgoing to encourage you to do the
same, because a lot of peoplethat want to put this stuff in a
script for you tell you there'sa right way and a wrong way to
(15:43):
do all these things.
These are the gatekeepers thatwant to keep you out.
These are the gatekeepers thatwant you to keep taking classes,
that want you to do it theirway because they're right and
isn't that an ego trip, right?
So, whatever you do and I'vebeen saying this all week to my
clients, so I want to say thisto you too Whatever you do and
however you do it, I will be theone to tell you you're not
(16:04):
crazy.
And however you do it, I willbe the one to tell you you're
not crazy.
Okay, I will be the one to tellyou that that's cool.
Show me how you did it.
I love that you did it that way.
That's really unique to you.
So I mean, could we be in aloony bin?
Probably Right.
But I'm going to tell you I willalways celebrate you finding
your own way to do things,because the more that we can
(16:27):
open up to the expansiveness ofthe universe and the spirit
world that knows no limits, thathas no beginning and no ending
and no rules, because as soon asyou think there's a rule, it's
almost like the energy comes inand says, huh, try again.
Let me prove to you that you'rewrong.
And I'm not the to you thatyou're wrong.
(16:48):
And I'm not the only one that'sexperienced this.
I have other metaphysicalpractitioners I work with.
That experience the same thing.
Because as soon as you try toput anything in a box in the
spirit world, it's like they sayfuck you.
We're going to show you thatyou're wrong.
Because when I say unlimitedpotential, everything has
unlimited potential potential.
(17:09):
Everything has unlimitedpotential.
When we're talking about 75, d,70, that there's 12 levels,
there's probably about 2 billionand three.
Right, Because we don't know.
And so if the universe cancreate and invent itself and
create new ways of being anddoing and seeing.
So can you, and we might bestuck in our fucking physical
bodies here, but you are made ofthe stuff of stars in the
(17:30):
universe and I am here andsupporting you in whatever your
path feels right to you.
You are never wrong and you arealways supported and there is
my love for you today.
If you have any metaphysicalshit you want my perspective on,
(17:50):
I will 100% go back and saythis is how it was, this is how
it is and this is how I thinkit'll go.
So if you have any questions oryou want my perspective,
anything I am all ears and allmicrophone and I'm happy to give
my perspective.
But I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day.
Take care.

you do is imagine that you havean egg all around you that goes
three feet out from your body.
So imagine you know your arm'slength all around you from every
direction, including in theground, and that's your energy
field and all you have to do islike set the intention that it
(07:02):
is solid, set the intention thatthe outside is like a mirror
and that essentially creates theintention that I'm not going to
take in other people's energiesand whatever they come at me,
it's going to bounce back tothem and I think that's the
crazy work about all of thisenergy.
It's all, it's all intention.
Everything I do is intention.
I set the intention to connectto your loved ones.
(07:23):
I set the intention to connectthe Akashic records.
I mean, it really is and it's.
It ain't rocket science, it'srocket science to trust it.
It takes a very long time totrust that, but once you've had
enough reading sessions,validations from other people,
you're like, oh no, this isabsolutely working.
And then I'm at the point wherenow I feel energy.
(07:43):
So I know it's working.
It's, it happens.
In moments I'm not even settingthe intention for it to happen.
I'm like, oh, what did thatjust have?
What did that just do?
So where the hell was I goingwith this?
So as as a practitioner, thatstarting your journey, learning
this method of grounding,centering, clearing, protecting
your aura field, is superimportant because you have yet
(08:07):
to really work with andunderstand your own energy.
You don't know what's yours andwhat's other people's and until
you can start, I don't know whyyou're going to have to.
They're showing me something inmy head.
I don't understand it yet.
I know it's they're trying tobe funny, but you're going gonna
have to bring it to me in adifferent way.
But until you go and do this,you don't know what your own
(08:30):
energy is like.
So it gets very difficult todiscern what's yours and what's
other people, and that's,honestly, the beginning of the
process for learning.
For a lot of people is just likelet me figure out what's mine
and what's not mine, and theyjust keep.
They keep in my head, showingme like a casino, right, imagine
the energy of a casino did likehow do you feel when you go
(08:52):
into a casino?
Because if you, if you are notprotecting your energy or
setting the intention not tobring in any other people's and
think of how many people comethrough there, think about the
crazy energy, think about likethe chain smokers, right, so you
, and like I don't know aboutyou, and this is true with Great
Wolf Lodge, with me, with thekids, right, when you get
(09:14):
overstimulated and overwhelmed,and honestly there's like in
every little moment, things arefine, but it adds up, it adds up
and adds up and adds up.
So it's like these layers ofenergy just keep coming in, keep
coming in, and then you feelfucking crazy and you're like I
need to get out of here, I needfresh air.
So this is the feeling for alot of people that are in large
crowds, that can't go in largecrowds, that can't go to
(09:36):
concerts, that can't go topublic spaces, and they get
overwhelmed, is because they'renot fucking protecting their
energy.
They're not fucking protectingtheir energy, they're not
sending the attention to nothave everything in, so it
overwhelms them.
So that's your key Something'sgot to give.
Because if you're protected, ifyou were sending the attention
not to take on others energy,you're going to be fine.
(09:56):
And that's why most people arefine, because they're not even
like walking around with this.
Most people have like cementwalls around them, but empaths
have like a cheese grater aroundthem that lets in all the
freaking energy.
So as, all right, I'm bringingit back, I'm reeling it in, I'm
reeling it in.
So, as I'm talking about this, alot of beginner mediums or
(10:18):
beginner metaphysicalpractitioners need to start with
understanding your energy.
Practitioners need to startwith understanding your energy,
and so that is key when you're,for example, reading dead people
, because the energy of yoursitter is across from you,
whether they're in person orthey're across the world.
The energy of the spirit isgoing to come in and you have to
(10:40):
know what your baseline is.
So, as other people's energycomes in, you know whether it's
yours or not, right when you soit just takes time, like there's
no fast track around this.
It just takes time for you tolearn, for you to practice.
A weird thing that happened tome when I started reading about
this is and, by the way, a greatbook, I think it's Energy
(11:00):
Healing for Empaths by LisaCampion.
Fantastic book for anyonemetaphysical practitioner,
everyday person, don't matterbut she teaches you how to do
these things and she's got someamazing tools in her book, and
one of them is that I neverrealized is you pick up on the
physical ailments of othersaround you and I can't tell you
how many times I felt exhausted.
(11:22):
I'm just driving around andsuddenly I got a headache and
I'm like what?
The and, lo and behold, nowI've learned.
I ask around the car now I'mlike, hey, hey, kids, who's got
the headache?
And then my daughter willinevitably raise her hand.
I'm like, oh, it's you OK.
And a really cool thing is justcheck in with yourself and be
like is this mine, is thisenergy?
(11:45):
Is this headache mine?
Is this sad energy, is thismine?
And you're gonna.
You can either do muscletesting, you can do body
pendulum testing, you can doregular pendulum testing like
you can do anything that givesyou a yes, no, or just use your
intuition and that'll tell youwhether this is yours or not and
if it's not fucking clear it,get rid of it right through the
methods I've told you.
Or just kick that energy outand be like no, thank you,
you're out.
(12:06):
I make it sound so glamorous,don't I this metaphysical work.
Just kick it out, right?
And in case you're wonderingwhat my classes are like,
they're kind of like this,because I just tell you how it
is and I'm like stop thinkingthat don't over complicated, it
doesn't need.
This work does not need to beovercomplicated.
We are literal spirits in thephysical world.
(12:27):
You have all the tools.
Your intention is everythingthat you need.
It's not hard, it's not hard.
I digress again.
I think it's time for me to goget some tea and sit down after
this.
But as you go on in thismetaphysical work, you
(12:47):
inherently know what's yours andwhat's not yours.
So if you asked me when Istarted this work I do it with
the beginners class if groundingand clearing your energy before
and after a mediumship readingis needed, I would have said
absolutely yes, absolutely yes,you need to do it.
(13:08):
You are creating a blank spacefor spirit.
You need to do it.
And then I just had my menteetext me before this and she's
like hey, I am around people allday long.
Do I need to ground and clearmy energy?
If I don't feel like I need to?
And I'm like no, because at acertain point you don't need to
and I'm going to get crucifiedfor this I feel like, but I have
(13:31):
to say it because I don't, I'madmitting it, I am 100%
admitting it.
I do not ground and clear myenergy for shit.
Okay, my grounding is me goingfor a walk outside and it's not
like I'm setting the intentionand maybe this is a projector
thing, maybe this is anintuitive thing that I just do,
because a lot of what I do justcomes out of my mouth.
It's like clear cognizance.
I just know a lot of things Ido.
(13:51):
I just inherently just dobecause I know that I need to do
it.
So this might just be the waythat I function and you might be
very different, and I want tocelebrate the different ways
that we do things and I don'tthink there's anything wrong
with that, but I don't.
I know.
When I get overwhelmed, I take anap that resets my energy
projector over here, right?
Or I go for a walk, I getoutside and that alone removes
(14:17):
any energy.
That's not mine, refreshes me,brings me back to center.
So, no, I don't ground andclear before or after my
readings ever, but I do payattention to my own energy and
what I need.
Do I need more water?
Do I need grounding, like, do Ineed foods that come from
(14:37):
Mother Earth?
Because that's grounding, right?
Do I have rocks next to me formy shamanism class?
Do I just hold a stone afterreading because I feel very
ungrounded, right?
I think my favorite thing that Ido is at a crystal mine after I
do my demonstrations, aftereverybody leaves.
Every single time I go over tothe fluorite and they have these
(14:58):
massive.
I really want to take one homeone of these days.
I'll buy it eventually.
They have these massivefluorite crystals that are just
like raw.
They aren't spheres, they'rejust raw.
They're taken right out ofmother earth and I just
literally go over and put myhands on it and I can feel, I
can feel the energy of this hugehonking fluoride just coming in
(15:21):
and I can feel it just hummingin my heart and refreshing me
and bringing me back to balance.
So, no, I don't do it.
I don't.
I don't ground and clear, but Ifind my own ways to to
rebalance my energy, and I'mgoing to encourage you to do the
same, because a lot of peoplethat want to put this stuff in a
script for you tell you there'sa right way and a wrong way to
(15:43):
do all these things.
These are the gatekeepers thatwant to keep you out.
These are the gatekeepers thatwant you to keep taking classes,
that want you to do it theirway because they're right and
isn't that an ego trip, right?
So, whatever you do and I'vebeen saying this all week to my
clients, so I want to say thisto you too Whatever you do and
however you do it, I will be theone to tell you you're not
(16:04):
crazy.
And however you do it, I willbe the one to tell you you're
not crazy.
Okay, I will be the one to tellyou that that's cool.
Show me how you did it.
I love that you did it that way.
That's really unique to you.
So I mean, could we be in aloony bin?
Probably Right.
But I'm going to tell you I willalways celebrate you finding
your own way to do things,because the more that we can
(16:27):
open up to the expansiveness ofthe universe and the spirit
world that knows no limits, thathas no beginning and no ending
and no rules, because as soon asyou think there's a rule, it's
almost like the energy comes inand says, huh, try again.
Let me prove to you that you'rewrong.
And I'm not the to you thatyou're wrong.
(16:48):
And I'm not the only one that'sexperienced this.
I have other metaphysicalpractitioners I work with.
That experience the same thing.
Because as soon as you try toput anything in a box in the
spirit world, it's like they sayfuck you.
We're going to show you thatyou're wrong.
Because when I say unlimitedpotential, everything has
unlimited potential potential.
(17:09):
Everything has unlimitedpotential.
When we're talking about 75, d,70, that there's 12 levels,
there's probably about 2 billionand three.
Right, Because we don't know.
And so if the universe cancreate and invent itself and
create new ways of being anddoing and seeing.
So can you, and we might bestuck in our fucking physical
bodies here, but you are made ofthe stuff of stars in the
(17:30):
universe and I am here andsupporting you in whatever your
path feels right to you.
You are never wrong and you arealways supported and there is
my love for you today.
If you have any metaphysicalshit you want my perspective on,
(17:50):
I will 100% go back and saythis is how it was, this is how
it is and this is how I thinkit'll go.
So if you have any questions oryou want my perspective,
anything I am all ears and allmicrophone and I'm happy to give
my perspective.
But I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day.
Take care.
