It is just stunning and full ofso much wisdom.
I highly recommend checkingthat out and we'll make sure
(02:29):
that there's a link for that inthe show notes.
So welcome, Patricia.
Patricia's here today where wereally want to talk about this.
Really, conversation could goin a few different directions.
I've known Patricia for a longtime and but the thing that we
were kind of feeling called, Ithink, to drop in around today
was around the creative processand the birth of our sacred work
(02:53):
, and this is something thatPatricia's really mastered.
And we were just talking beforethe podcast about you know
herself as a prolific creatorand how there was a lot of
creations coming through at onepoint, but how, as she's really
initiated into her sacred work,her purpose and even just you
(03:14):
know, the journey into the Croneinitiation, how she approaches
the creative process has shiftedand changed, and so I find that
all really fascinating and sowelcome, Patricia.
I don't have a question for youyet, but I just wanted to say
welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Thank you, so happy to be here with you.
Always a pleasure to be in yourcompany.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, thank you.
Well, why don't we start bytalking about this idea of being
a prolific creator?
Because I love that and I knowthat there are so many women
called to their sacred work andyou know creativity is a part of
(04:04):
their genius.
And yet when we go to birth oursacred work, you know
creativity is a part of theirgenius and yet when we go to
birth our sacred work, it's adifferent muscle.
But, yeah, maybe share, shareon that and what that felt like
in your body and what thatprocess was like to you and how
it shifted and changed.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Sure, it's a great, a great question and definitely a
journey.
When I first started creating,you know, for my business which
was, I don't know, back in 2008,nine, it wasn't even, it was
not online I was a massagetherapist and but immediately I
(04:43):
was like I've got to createthings and so I started creating
all these oils, bath oils,massage oils it's like it was
just always about quantity and,you know, even though they had
quality, but it was just like I.
I had this childlike desire tojust play and constantly be
creating with no, no real plan,and so that's kind of how, you
(05:07):
know, I was with creativity forprobably the next decade.
It was just whatever wanted tocome through came through, and I
didn't really didn't reallyhave a plan, you know, and I had
a lot of energy, you know.
So it didn't matter, you knowit didn't matter as, whatever it
(05:31):
was and I kind of noticed I didthat with everything in my life
I didn't pay attention to how Iwas using my energy, I just
used it until I got sick, right.
So I started to have auto likeimmune issues I won't say that
they're autoimmune, you know, Idon't have an autoimmune disease
, but immunity issues and leakyenergy and that was a turning
(05:56):
point for me in how I create andI've been going through that
initiation, as you mentioned.
I call it, I'm a baby crone.
I'm, you know, I'll be 53 inJuly and the last two years have
been that initiation into beinga baby crone.
(06:21):
I used to move so fast, so sofast, and I thought that that
was enjoyable.
But what I've found is, eventhough I had to go through the
initiation of being unwell, thatthe pleasure of going slowly
has opened up in me and thatpleasure of going slowly in my
(06:42):
creations has opened up in me.
So it's no more fast andfurious Now.
It's like really slow and deep.
I know it sounds like I'mtalking about having sex or
something.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, I'm laughing because it is the shifting gears
.
I'm laughing because when Ihave elderly people in front of
me that walk really slow, right,I always say in my head this is
the gift.
They're going to teach me toslow down.
I just need to be present andI'm going to take my time behind
them, even though I want tomove more quickly than that well
(07:18):
, but there's a season foreverything right, I needed to be
fast and furious.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean that was I had so much energy.
My goodness, that's amazing.
That's why I ran, mar be fastand furious.
I mean that was I had so muchenergy.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
My goodness that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That's why I ran marathons and raced bicycles and
did all these things and hadthree kids.
You know, one year apart, no,not quite that bad, but it was
just where I was at, but now I'mnot and I finally surrendered
to that.
Well, well, it's a moment bymoment.
(07:47):
Still, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I love that joy of slowness, yeah and to the joy of
slowness.
Yes, like I think we can spendour entire lifetimes coming into
like the joy of slowness andthe joy of like presence.
Like you know, because we're soconditioned, there is like like
presence.
Like you know, because we're soconditioned, there is like two
for sure.
Like that you know everythingis seasoned for sure and having
(08:10):
a lot of energy.
And also, you know, I, throughthese gateways of initiation too
, just through our, our lifepath as women, we're invited to
sometimes peel back the layersof where it hasn't always felt
safe or right or supportive, toslow down and listen, right.
(08:31):
So it's like I hear a little bitof that too.
You know, through your journey,through the peeling back,
through, you know deepening intolistening to your body and to
self, and through the initiation, there's been this invitation
to like, be in the joy ofslowness, and I think that's
beautiful and it shows that youknow you've done the work to be
(08:57):
able to rest into that.
And I still think you know,even now you're still going to
have periods, you know, whereyou'll still move a little bit
more quickly, but when we knowhow to get back to that place
that you're talking about,that's so beautiful.
So when you create now so andyou talk about, like, enjoying
(09:17):
the process a little bit more ora lot more, is there any other
kind of like significantdifferences between how you
might birth something into thephysical from where you are now
versus where your younger selfwas doing it from?
You touched on this a bit, butI'd just be curious to explore
(09:38):
it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, thank you for asking that again, that again,
um.
So the difference for me now is, before I would get these
little flits of inspiration andI would immediately grab them
and just do something with it,and the transition has gone into
.
Yeah, I still get those, youknow.
(10:01):
That's why my podcast is thedivinely inspired woman.
Right, it's like you'redivinely inspired right, right,
you get these little flits Rightand but now I will, yeah, I'll
reach for them.
They're like little butterflies,right or whatever, just little
sparkles of energy.
Or they might come now asuploads right From the earth,
which is really where my workhas shifted.
It's, you know, through source,through the mother, through
(10:25):
Gaia, and they're slower, and soI have to actually hold them,
like hold this beautiful, youknow, ball of light in my hands
and contemplate it and like sitwith it and be still with it and
let it like open up and unfoldslowly and gently.
And it's just a completelydifferent experience.
I don't start creatingimmediately.
(10:46):
I sit.
I sit with that inspiration fromsource and really get to know
the intricacy of thetransmission that is coming
through, rather than immediatelyjumping into the 3D creative
process, and primarily becausemy body doesn't want me to do
that anymore.
(11:07):
But whatever, you know, mybody's like no, we're going to
sit, we're going to just sitwith this and we're going to
find the cleanest, clearest,most efficient and nourishing
pathway for you to create.
This time we're not going towaste energy.
We're going to know, like deepin the body, know what needs to
(11:31):
be done in the 3D rather thanjust throwing.
You know, like they say.
I think, with some human design, which I dabble in, you know,
manifesting generators just keepthrowing things like spaghetti
against the wall to see if itsticks.
You know I had to stop doingthat.
Yeah, for sure it's.
Yeah, it's definitely sittingwith the inspirations and
letting them mature.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, for sure, I love that.
It's also very interesting howthe body redirected you to like
the, the creative process, andlike how you needed to be with
your channel, with your body, tobe able to receive the wisdom
to then birth the creations likeand that's, I mean, as I know,
(12:15):
challenging as that is, that'salso a beautiful gift too.
Like wow, so, yeah, so, can youtell me?
It's true, as a creator, youknow I'm there's the flits and
the butterflies, for sure, andthen being able to dance with it
(12:36):
and then really developing andcultivating, like the energetic
listening, um, in terms of whereit all gets anchored and what
really wants to be birthedthrough the channel, can we talk
a little bit about?
I think now it feels timely totalk about Voices of Gaia and
like you know where, because itfeels like that's kind of a,
(12:59):
that was a big bridge, right.
Like from like, yeah, okay,cool, so share a little bit
about.
Because it is such like aprofound body of work.
So, share a little bit about.
Because it is such a profoundbody of work, so share a little
bit about.
Like, how, what opened up atthat time?
How did that come through?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Thank you for asking that question.
So, as you know that the workthat I did with you and you were
mentoring me on rooting inright, that was like a huge
piece that had to happen beforethis body of work could come in
right, because it actually comesfrom, it's coming from Gaia,
(13:38):
it's coming from Mother Earth,right.
The inspiration Before it wouldjust come up kind of more
through my mental body, you know, up high and through my mental
body.
But this one I actually had toroot.
I had to root in into the coreof my body so that I could
connect to the earth.
And I can't say that I still,you know, completely rooted all
(13:58):
the time, because I have atendency not to be, but that's
been my journey in this lifetime.
The first chapter I ever wrotefor a collaborative book was
called, you know, embodying theMystic, the Path of the Mystic.
You know, embodying on Earth,because I didn't know how when I
started, and so once I was ableto do that, then I could begin
(14:22):
to receive these inspirationsand they're really slow, like I
didn't even know, like I knewvoices of Gaia, but I didn't
know that it was going to expandinto this pathway, you know,
this nine portal initiatorypathway for people to embody
(14:43):
heart-centered leadership.
Like I didn't know that, I justfelt it and I just had to sit
with it and it came through over.
Probably it took six months forme to really even have
something that I could offer topeople and even at that point it
was just very loosely held.
(15:05):
That point it was.
It was just very loosely held.
But it needed to start.
It needed it needed to root itinto the 3d and not worry about
all the details.
And once I did that and once Ianchored it in, I began to
receive more and more.
And then, like you said, all ofa sudden you know, sometimes
you will still move fast andlike it all just came through.
It was like these eightarchetypes just came through and
(15:26):
the whole system just like cameup and through me and now my
journey is to share it and so.
But it's not happening all atonce.
It's taking me.
It's going to take me, in theend, two years before I actually
went through each one of thosearchetypes and actually brought
them into the 3D.
So that's a totally differentprocess from what I would have
(15:48):
done before, what I would havetried to have put it all out
there immediately theconsumption, rather than
embodying it in myself first.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, and I have to speak to that because that to me
is like, that is like embodiedmastery, which I, and it shows
so much integrity and the typeof medicine that you're bringing
through, which I thinksometimes in the online space,
and still this like fast foodworld that we live in it's like
that and and to being in theonline space.
it's like it's a lot of likesmoke and mirrors and so, just
(16:20):
like for our listeners, likethis is true mastery, like the
devotion that it often takes tothis path to bring through these
like beautiful bodies of work,uh, and that's like that's what
Patricia's doing, um, and so youknow, you know that the healing
and the medicine and theframework of what you're
(16:41):
bringing through is very, veryembodied and very intentional
and very like meant to be, youknow, especially when we know
it's not coming through from themental body, when it's coming
through your channel and the waythat it's coming through.
So, yeah, just to celebratethat and whoever's listening,
like this is the magic.
So, yeah, thank you.
I think I cut you off, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
No, you didn't Thank you.
You thank you for that umgracious um comment.
Yeah, it's.
It's definitely a different wayof creating and one that for me
it feels more deeply nourishingto my nervous system, which is
my highest priority now.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It has to be, um I just I can't fry my nervous
system anymore, you know, withthat extra yes, and you know, I
just have to speak to that toobecause that's sparking
something for me and I thinkthat that is a part of honoring
the feminine nervous system,like the feminine energetic
system, and I think, for me too,I can totally relate to a
(17:44):
younger version of myself whowas creating from like a lot of
the higher chakra energy and alot more from, like my masculine
energy.
But it really did, and that wasjust, like you know, when I
first stepped onto this path, Iwas coming from the city and I
was a makeup artist and likethen I made this transition to
the country and I found thisonline world and I had these
(18:06):
creations and it took me alittle bit to like regulate and
find flow and to start to likecreate from like a different
muscle, like many, many yearsreally.
But I'm just I'm realizing, asyou're saying, that even through
, like the perimenopause journey, which is where I'm at, even
through like the perimenopausejourney, which is where I'm at,
(18:28):
and then through menopause, Irecognize that even in myself.
It's even more important now tolike honor my feminine energy,
you know so, yeah, so thank youfor bringing that forward.
I love that and I feel like Icut you off again I did have
another question, though, butdid you?
have anything you want to addAnother?
(18:48):
Okay.
So I was curious to a littlebit more about Voices of Gaia.
When you talk about a heartcenter Voices of Gaia, heart
centered leadership, share alittle bit about what that means
to you.
Like, what is a Voices of Gaia?
Like what is heart centeredleadership?
What, what's behind that foryou?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Hmm, let's see how the best way to word that is.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I know today.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know it all.
It all started with um.
As you know, I were, I've beenworking with the gene keys,
which is a heart based tantrictransmission.
You know that that came out ofhuman design and it's all.
It's all about compassion andsitting with your humanity.
(19:39):
You know of yourself, right,it's the shot.
It's sitting with your shadows,right and not trying to block
them out, and I think for methat that opened up this pathway
of heart centered leadership.
Where is, if you are going tolead your life or you know, we
don't all necessarily have tostep into being leaders of you
know, in the public or whatever,but leadership for your own
(20:02):
life you have to be able to sitin that heart space of
compassion.
You have to be able to.
I mean, you can be rooted in.
But you, you know, when you goout to share your voice, it has
to come through your heart.
The voice is receiving wisdomfrom your heart space before you
speak into creation, yourreality, right?
(20:25):
We want to speak into creation,heaven on earth, which is a
love frequency rather than onethat maybe your voice is being
controlled by your mind and thevoices of gaia piece is that
you're not just speaking fromthe higher realms.
Right, you're speaking fullyconnected to to earth, to gaia,
and you're listening to her, sothat whatever you speak into
(20:48):
creation has her blessing.
Right, if you you've taken intoaccount the ecology, the larger
ecology of the earth, and youknow that I do environmental
work, right, I've done that forthe last 30 years, so it was
really that was a really mentalpiece for me, but now it has
gone into actually thatenergetic piece of connecting to
(21:09):
the earth and bringing thattransmission from her up into my
heart space, you know, andsitting there with my humanity.
Right, you know the part of methat wants to follow every
desire, or wants power or, youknow, wants domination right,
that's part of being a human.
We have those.
(21:30):
But being able to sit with thatin my heart space and come out
through my high heart into myvoice, which is in service, not
and I don't want to say serviceand that like we're servants
anymore right, but it's it'sright, it's in support of the
wellness and well-being ofeveryone.
Right, it's a basic concept ofnot harming others or the earth
(21:57):
intentionally.
So everything that you speak asa voice of Gaia is to bring
greater harmony.
That's what a voice of Gaia andheart-centered leadership is to
me is to bring in harmony withearth through our words and our
actions and our thoughts.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Beautiful, I'm glad I asked.
And how do does that tie into,like, how does the voices of
Gaia?
I mean?
I know that it's deep, it's gotlayers.
How does it lend itself, though, to awakening that for women
who are called to, or all beingswho are called to, or all
beings who are called to thispathway?
(22:37):
So?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
the system is, was birthed, fully anchored and
connected into the gene keystransmission as an ambassador of
the gene keys.
It's just been, it's just partof how I see the world, it's a
lens which I see the world.
And so there are 64 um gates,if you want to call them, or
(23:01):
gene keys, and each one of those64 gates has an alchemy to it,
and so there are eightarchetypes, and those eight
archetypes each have eight ofthose gates, and so you have to
transition through 64 gates toreceive the gifts of those eight
(23:27):
leadership archetypes.
So you have to go through thisprocess of alchemy, of sitting
with the shadow of each one ofthose gates and like, for
instance, you know, one of themthat is part of the visionary is
a gate called freedom, but theshadow is victimization.
(23:47):
And so you'll be, you'lljourney with that shadow in the
container until you're able toembrace it, so that you can open
up to the higher frequency offreedom and so that when you
have a vision you're envisioningfrom a higher state of
consciousness, you're not.
What you're going to be callinginto existence in the world is
(24:09):
not coming from a state ofvictimhood of whether you're
being the victimizer or you'rebeing the victim, right, you're
not in that field anymore, andso then it's more supportive of
harmony on earth.
So it's complicated in someways, but it's not supposed to
be completely understood by themind.
(24:30):
Your heart gets it and that'sall that matters.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, like the transmission and the embodied
wisdom, and I think that's too,that's like that's the joy of
doing the journey, too, with you.
Like you can't it's hard to giveall the pieces Right, yeah,
when there's like so many layersto it, but that it can be felt
and understood and I think Ijust I wanted to kind of make
the connection to like what Imean.
(24:55):
I love the questions that Iasked in terms of what is a
heart-centered.
You know voices of Gaia leader.
I think you spoke to thatbeautifully and then you know
how the transmission of yourwork and the depth of your work
really supports that journey andunfolding, and that you know we
can't really know all thepieces, but through the journey
(25:17):
so much can open and I can seehow that could connect to my
original question.
So beautiful and thank you.
Is there anything kind of just,lastly, that you would like to
share with the listeners?
And, of course, um, I'll ask aswell just where the listeners
can learn more about you, um,but yeah, yeah, I think, in
(25:41):
closing, um, there's three partsto this process of creativity.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Um, for me, and you know, um, and even in the voices
of guys, the root is root,receive and lead in that order.
You can't lead if you're notrooted.
I mean you can try, but it'syeah.
So it's root, receive and thenlead, root into the earth, root
(26:11):
into your body and then lead,root into the earth, root into
your body, receive the divineinspiration, or the inspiration
from Mother Earth and then lead.
That's what I'd like to endwith Powerful.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I love it.

As you've probably noticed,there is often a theme with the
guests that I have on thepodcast, in that I have followed
them, known them and loved themfor oftentimes a very long time
.
I've seen their body of work, Iknow their presence and their
medicine.
I am just always so delightedand happy and thankful to be
(01:26):
able to bring forward theirteachings and their medicine
onto this podcast and so, onceagain, I'm really excited for
this week's guest and I'm justgoing to take a moment and
introduce her.

It is just stunning and full ofso much wisdom.
I highly recommend checkingthat out and we'll make sure
(02:29):
that there's a link for that inthe show notes.
So welcome, Patricia.
Patricia's here today where wereally want to talk about this.
Really, conversation could goin a few different directions.
I've known Patricia for a longtime and but the thing that we
were kind of feeling called, Ithink, to drop in around today
was around the creative processand the birth of our sacred work
(02:53):
, and this is something thatPatricia's really mastered.
And we were just talking beforethe podcast about you know
herself as a prolific creatorand how there was a lot of
creations coming through at onepoint, but how, as she's really
initiated into her sacred work,her purpose and even just you
(03:14):
know, the journey into the Croneinitiation, how she approaches
the creative process has shiftedand changed, and so I find that
all really fascinating and sowelcome, Patricia.
I don't have a question for youyet, but I just wanted to say
welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Thank you, so happy to be here with you.
Always a pleasure to be in yourcompany.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, thank you.
Well, why don't we start bytalking about this idea of being
a prolific creator?
Because I love that and I knowthat there are so many women
called to their sacred work andyou know creativity is a part of
(04:04):
their genius.
And yet when we go to birth oursacred work, you know
creativity is a part of theirgenius and yet when we go to
birth our sacred work, it's adifferent muscle.
But, yeah, maybe share, shareon that and what that felt like
in your body and what thatprocess was like to you and how
it shifted and changed.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Sure, it's a great, a great question and definitely a
journey.
When I first started creating,you know, for my business which
was, I don't know, back in 2008,nine, it wasn't even, it was
not online I was a massagetherapist and but immediately I
(04:43):
was like I've got to createthings and so I started creating
all these oils, bath oils,massage oils it's like it was
just always about quantity and,you know, even though they had
quality, but it was just like I.
I had this childlike desire tojust play and constantly be
creating with no, no real plan,and so that's kind of how, you
(05:07):
know, I was with creativity forprobably the next decade.
It was just whatever wanted tocome through came through, and I
didn't really didn't reallyhave a plan, you know, and I had
a lot of energy, you know.
So it didn't matter, you knowit didn't matter as, whatever it
(05:31):
was and I kind of noticed I didthat with everything in my life
I didn't pay attention to how Iwas using my energy, I just
used it until I got sick, right.
So I started to have auto likeimmune issues I won't say that
they're autoimmune, you know, Idon't have an autoimmune disease
, but immunity issues and leakyenergy and that was a turning
(05:56):
point for me in how I create andI've been going through that
initiation, as you mentioned.
I call it, I'm a baby crone.
I'm, you know, I'll be 53 inJuly and the last two years have
been that initiation into beinga baby crone.
(06:21):
I used to move so fast, so sofast, and I thought that that
was enjoyable.
But what I've found is, eventhough I had to go through the
initiation of being unwell, thatthe pleasure of going slowly
has opened up in me and thatpleasure of going slowly in my
(06:42):
creations has opened up in me.
So it's no more fast andfurious Now.
It's like really slow and deep.
I know it sounds like I'mtalking about having sex or
something.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, I'm laughing because it is the shifting gears
.
I'm laughing because when Ihave elderly people in front of
me that walk really slow, right,I always say in my head this is
the gift.
They're going to teach me toslow down.
I just need to be present andI'm going to take my time behind
them, even though I want tomove more quickly than that well
(07:18):
, but there's a season foreverything right, I needed to be
fast and furious.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean that was I had so much energy.
My goodness, that's amazing.
That's why I ran, mar be fastand furious.
I mean that was I had so muchenergy.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
My goodness that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That's why I ran marathons and raced bicycles and
did all these things and hadthree kids.
You know, one year apart, no,not quite that bad, but it was
just where I was at, but now I'mnot and I finally surrendered
to that.
Well, well, it's a moment bymoment.
(07:47):
Still, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I love that joy of slowness, yeah and to the joy of
slowness.
Yes, like I think we can spendour entire lifetimes coming into
like the joy of slowness andthe joy of like presence.
Like you know, because we're soconditioned, there is like like
presence.
Like you know, because we're soconditioned, there is like two
for sure.
Like that you know everythingis seasoned for sure and having
(08:10):
a lot of energy.
And also, you know, I, throughthese gateways of initiation too
, just through our, our lifepath as women, we're invited to
sometimes peel back the layersof where it hasn't always felt
safe or right or supportive, toslow down and listen, right.
(08:31):
So it's like I hear a little bitof that too.
You know, through your journey,through the peeling back,
through, you know deepening intolistening to your body and to
self, and through the initiation, there's been this invitation
to like, be in the joy ofslowness, and I think that's
beautiful and it shows that youknow you've done the work to be
(08:57):
able to rest into that.
And I still think you know,even now you're still going to
have periods, you know, whereyou'll still move a little bit
more quickly, but when we knowhow to get back to that place
that you're talking about,that's so beautiful.
So when you create now so andyou talk about, like, enjoying
(09:17):
the process a little bit more ora lot more, is there any other
kind of like significantdifferences between how you
might birth something into thephysical from where you are now
versus where your younger selfwas doing it from?
You touched on this a bit, butI'd just be curious to explore
(09:38):
it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, thank you for asking that again, that again,
um.
So the difference for me now is, before I would get these
little flits of inspiration andI would immediately grab them
and just do something with it,and the transition has gone into
.
Yeah, I still get those, youknow.
(10:01):
That's why my podcast is thedivinely inspired woman.
Right, it's like you'redivinely inspired right, right,
you get these little flits Rightand but now I will, yeah, I'll
reach for them.
They're like little butterflies,right or whatever, just little
sparkles of energy.
Or they might come now asuploads right From the earth,
which is really where my workhas shifted.
It's, you know, through source,through the mother, through
(10:25):
Gaia, and they're slower, and soI have to actually hold them,
like hold this beautiful, youknow, ball of light in my hands
and contemplate it and like sitwith it and be still with it and
let it like open up and unfoldslowly and gently.
And it's just a completelydifferent experience.
I don't start creatingimmediately.
(10:46):
I sit.
I sit with that inspiration fromsource and really get to know
the intricacy of thetransmission that is coming
through, rather than immediatelyjumping into the 3D creative
process, and primarily becausemy body doesn't want me to do
that anymore.
(11:07):
But whatever, you know, mybody's like no, we're going to
sit, we're going to just sitwith this and we're going to
find the cleanest, clearest,most efficient and nourishing
pathway for you to create.
This time we're not going towaste energy.
We're going to know, like deepin the body, know what needs to
(11:31):
be done in the 3D rather thanjust throwing.
You know, like they say.
I think, with some human design, which I dabble in, you know,
manifesting generators just keepthrowing things like spaghetti
against the wall to see if itsticks.
You know I had to stop doingthat.
Yeah, for sure it's.
Yeah, it's definitely sittingwith the inspirations and
letting them mature.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, for sure, I love that.
It's also very interesting howthe body redirected you to like
the, the creative process, andlike how you needed to be with
your channel, with your body, tobe able to receive the wisdom
to then birth the creations likeand that's, I mean, as I know,
(12:15):
challenging as that is, that'salso a beautiful gift too.
Like wow, so, yeah, so, can youtell me?
It's true, as a creator, youknow I'm there's the flits and
the butterflies, for sure, andthen being able to dance with it
(12:36):
and then really developing andcultivating, like the energetic
listening, um, in terms of whereit all gets anchored and what
really wants to be birthedthrough the channel, can we talk
a little bit about?
I think now it feels timely totalk about Voices of Gaia and
like you know where, because itfeels like that's kind of a,
(12:59):
that was a big bridge, right.
Like from like, yeah, okay,cool, so share a little bit
about.
Because it is such like aprofound body of work.
So, share a little bit about.
Because it is such a profoundbody of work, so share a little
bit about.
Like, how, what opened up atthat time?
How did that come through?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Thank you for asking that question.
So, as you know that the workthat I did with you and you were
mentoring me on rooting inright, that was like a huge
piece that had to happen beforethis body of work could come in
right, because it actually comesfrom, it's coming from Gaia,
(13:38):
it's coming from Mother Earth,right.
The inspiration Before it wouldjust come up kind of more
through my mental body, you know, up high and through my mental
body.
But this one I actually had toroot.
I had to root in into the coreof my body so that I could
connect to the earth.
And I can't say that I still,you know, completely rooted all
(13:58):
the time, because I have atendency not to be, but that's
been my journey in this lifetime.
The first chapter I ever wrotefor a collaborative book was
called, you know, embodying theMystic, the Path of the Mystic.
You know, embodying on Earth,because I didn't know how when I
started, and so once I was ableto do that, then I could begin
(14:22):
to receive these inspirationsand they're really slow, like I
didn't even know, like I knewvoices of Gaia, but I didn't
know that it was going to expandinto this pathway, you know,
this nine portal initiatorypathway for people to embody
(14:43):
heart-centered leadership.
Like I didn't know that, I justfelt it and I just had to sit
with it and it came through over.
Probably it took six months forme to really even have
something that I could offer topeople and even at that point it
was just very loosely held.
(15:05):
That point it was.
It was just very loosely held.
But it needed to start.
It needed it needed to root itinto the 3d and not worry about
all the details.
And once I did that and once Ianchored it in, I began to
receive more and more.
And then, like you said, all ofa sudden you know, sometimes
you will still move fast andlike it all just came through.
It was like these eightarchetypes just came through and
(15:26):
the whole system just like cameup and through me and now my
journey is to share it and so.
But it's not happening all atonce.
It's taking me.
It's going to take me, in theend, two years before I actually
went through each one of thosearchetypes and actually brought
them into the 3D.
So that's a totally differentprocess from what I would have
(15:48):
done before, what I would havetried to have put it all out
there immediately theconsumption, rather than
embodying it in myself first.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, and I have to speak to that because that to me
is like, that is like embodiedmastery, which I, and it shows
so much integrity and the typeof medicine that you're bringing
through, which I thinksometimes in the online space,
and still this like fast foodworld that we live in it's like
that and and to being in theonline space.
it's like it's a lot of likesmoke and mirrors and so, just
(16:20):
like for our listeners, likethis is true mastery, like the
devotion that it often takes tothis path to bring through these
like beautiful bodies of work,uh, and that's like that's what
Patricia's doing, um, and so youknow, you know that the healing
and the medicine and theframework of what you're
(16:41):
bringing through is very, veryembodied and very intentional
and very like meant to be, youknow, especially when we know
it's not coming through from themental body, when it's coming
through your channel and the waythat it's coming through.
So, yeah, just to celebratethat and whoever's listening,
like this is the magic.
So, yeah, thank you.
I think I cut you off, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
No, you didn't Thank you.
You thank you for that umgracious um comment.
Yeah, it's.
It's definitely a different wayof creating and one that for me
it feels more deeply nourishingto my nervous system, which is
my highest priority now.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It has to be, um I just I can't fry my nervous
system anymore, you know, withthat extra yes, and you know, I
just have to speak to that toobecause that's sparking
something for me and I thinkthat that is a part of honoring
the feminine nervous system,like the feminine energetic
system, and I think, for me too,I can totally relate to a
(17:44):
younger version of myself whowas creating from like a lot of
the higher chakra energy and alot more from, like my masculine
energy.
But it really did, and that wasjust, like you know, when I
first stepped onto this path, Iwas coming from the city and I
was a makeup artist and likethen I made this transition to
the country and I found thisonline world and I had these
(18:06):
creations and it took me alittle bit to like regulate and
find flow and to start to likecreate from like a different
muscle, like many, many yearsreally.
But I'm just I'm realizing, asyou're saying, that even through
, like the perimenopause journey, which is where I'm at, even
through like the perimenopausejourney, which is where I'm at,
(18:28):
and then through menopause, Irecognize that even in myself.
It's even more important now tolike honor my feminine energy,
you know so, yeah, so thank youfor bringing that forward.
I love that and I feel like Icut you off again I did have
another question, though, butdid you?
have anything you want to addAnother?
(18:48):
Okay.
So I was curious to a littlebit more about Voices of Gaia.
When you talk about a heartcenter Voices of Gaia, heart
centered leadership, share alittle bit about what that means
to you.
Like, what is a Voices of Gaia?
Like what is heart centeredleadership?
What, what's behind that foryou?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Hmm, let's see how the best way to word that is.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I know today.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know it all.
It all started with um.
As you know, I were, I've beenworking with the gene keys,
which is a heart based tantrictransmission.
You know that that came out ofhuman design and it's all.
It's all about compassion andsitting with your humanity.
(19:39):
You know of yourself, right,it's the shot.
It's sitting with your shadows,right and not trying to block
them out, and I think for methat that opened up this pathway
of heart centered leadership.
Where is, if you are going tolead your life or you know, we
don't all necessarily have tostep into being leaders of you
know, in the public or whatever,but leadership for your own
(20:02):
life you have to be able to sitin that heart space of
compassion.
You have to be able to.
I mean, you can be rooted in.
But you, you know, when you goout to share your voice, it has
to come through your heart.
The voice is receiving wisdomfrom your heart space before you
speak into creation, yourreality, right?
(20:25):
We want to speak into creation,heaven on earth, which is a
love frequency rather than onethat maybe your voice is being
controlled by your mind and thevoices of gaia piece is that
you're not just speaking fromthe higher realms.
Right, you're speaking fullyconnected to to earth, to gaia,
and you're listening to her, sothat whatever you speak into
(20:48):
creation has her blessing.
Right, if you you've taken intoaccount the ecology, the larger
ecology of the earth, and youknow that I do environmental
work, right, I've done that forthe last 30 years, so it was
really that was a really mentalpiece for me, but now it has
gone into actually thatenergetic piece of connecting to
(21:09):
the earth and bringing thattransmission from her up into my
heart space, you know, andsitting there with my humanity.
Right, you know the part of methat wants to follow every
desire, or wants power or, youknow, wants domination right,
that's part of being a human.
We have those.
(21:30):
But being able to sit with thatin my heart space and come out
through my high heart into myvoice, which is in service, not
and I don't want to say serviceand that like we're servants
anymore right, but it's it'sright, it's in support of the
wellness and well-being ofeveryone.
Right, it's a basic concept ofnot harming others or the earth
(21:57):
intentionally.
So everything that you speak asa voice of Gaia is to bring
greater harmony.
That's what a voice of Gaia andheart-centered leadership is to
me is to bring in harmony withearth through our words and our
actions and our thoughts.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Beautiful, I'm glad I asked.
And how do does that tie into,like, how does the voices of
Gaia?
I mean?
I know that it's deep, it's gotlayers.
How does it lend itself, though, to awakening that for women
who are called to, or all beingswho are called to, or all
beings who are called to thispathway?
(22:37):
So?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
the system is, was birthed, fully anchored and
connected into the gene keystransmission as an ambassador of
the gene keys.
It's just been, it's just partof how I see the world, it's a
lens which I see the world.
And so there are 64 um gates,if you want to call them, or
(23:01):
gene keys, and each one of those64 gates has an alchemy to it,
and so there are eightarchetypes, and those eight
archetypes each have eight ofthose gates, and so you have to
transition through 64 gates toreceive the gifts of those eight
(23:27):
leadership archetypes.
So you have to go through thisprocess of alchemy, of sitting
with the shadow of each one ofthose gates and like, for
instance, you know, one of themthat is part of the visionary is
a gate called freedom, but theshadow is victimization.
(23:47):
And so you'll be, you'lljourney with that shadow in the
container until you're able toembrace it, so that you can open
up to the higher frequency offreedom and so that when you
have a vision you're envisioningfrom a higher state of
consciousness, you're not.
What you're going to be callinginto existence in the world is
(24:09):
not coming from a state ofvictimhood of whether you're
being the victimizer or you'rebeing the victim, right, you're
not in that field anymore, andso then it's more supportive of
harmony on earth.
So it's complicated in someways, but it's not supposed to
be completely understood by themind.
(24:30):
Your heart gets it and that'sall that matters.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, like the transmission and the embodied
wisdom, and I think that's too,that's like that's the joy of
doing the journey, too, with you.
Like you can't it's hard to giveall the pieces Right, yeah,
when there's like so many layersto it, but that it can be felt
and understood and I think Ijust I wanted to kind of make
the connection to like what Imean.
(24:55):
I love the questions that Iasked in terms of what is a
heart-centered.
You know voices of Gaia leader.
I think you spoke to thatbeautifully and then you know
how the transmission of yourwork and the depth of your work
really supports that journey andunfolding, and that you know we
can't really know all thepieces, but through the journey
(25:17):
so much can open and I can seehow that could connect to my
original question.
So beautiful and thank you.
Is there anything kind of just,lastly, that you would like to
share with the listeners?
And, of course, um, I'll ask aswell just where the listeners
can learn more about you, um,but yeah, yeah, I think, in
(25:41):
closing, um, there's three partsto this process of creativity.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Um, for me, and you know, um, and even in the voices
of guys, the root is root,receive and lead in that order.
You can't lead if you're notrooted.
I mean you can try, but it'syeah.
So it's root, receive and thenlead, root into the earth, root
(26:11):
into your body and then lead,root into the earth, root into
your body, receive the divineinspiration, or the inspiration
from Mother Earth and then lead.
That's what I'd like to endwith Powerful.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I love it.

What's the easiest way forsomeone to connect into your
