Joya (00:07):
Hello, beautiful souls,
welcome back to.
We Woke Up Like this what if Itold you that everything you've
ever needed to know about yourlife's direction, your purpose,
your next right step alreadylives inside of you.
Maybe not the actual step,maybe not right now, but at
(00:27):
least the ability to listen andknow what it is, so you can be
led by what's pulling youforward, rather than from your
own mind that thinks it haseverything all figured out.
What if the voice you've beenseeking in the books and the
workshops and the coaches andthe textbooks and the gurus and
(00:48):
the experts and all the thingsis actually the voice you've
been running from your entirelife, and that is the voice of
your own inner knowing?
And what if the reason youdon't trust that voice isn't
because it's unreliable it is.
I've never heard anybody onetime say I'm so glad I didn't
listen to my intuition.
I've never heard anybody saythat.
(01:08):
But it's because you've beentaught to believe that everybody
else's wisdom is more valuablethan your own.
Today we are going deep into oneof the most revolutionary ideas
Carl Jung ever offered theworld, and that's that each
human being carries within thema direct connection to divine
wisdom.
And that's that each humanbeing carries within them a
direct connection to divinewisdom, and that learning to
(01:28):
trust this inner guidance is notjust the path to your
psychological health, it's thepath to your spiritual mastery,
and not only Jung.
I'm going to tie in, of course,some Aramaic wisdom in this.
This is so beyond positivethinking, and this is definitely
not about manifesting what youwant.
(01:49):
That's easy when you get downall of the other principles.
Manifesting what you want tomanifest is simple, because
you're already alwaysmanifesting.
You're a constant creator.
So this whole episode is aboutdiscovering that you have an
internal guidance system that'smore sophisticated than any GPS,
more reliable than any advisor,more loving than your parents,
(02:15):
and it's about learning todistinguish between the voice of
your conditioned mind and thevoice of your soul, and it's
also about having the courage tofollow that soul voice,
especially when it leads youaway from what everyone else
thinks you should do.
There's something that happensto most of us somewhere between
(02:36):
childhood and adulthood it'sthat we learn to stop trusting
ourselves.
Maybe it was a parent whoconsistently overrode your
feelings or talked over you, ormaybe it was a teacher who made
you feel stupid for askingquestions, or who made you feel
like too much because you alwaysknew the answer.
Maybe you're made fun of foralways knowing the answer.
(02:57):
Maybe it was a culture thattaught you to be seen and not
heard, to follow rules ratherthan follow your heart.
Whatever the source, it doesn'tmatter.
Most of us learn early that ourinner knowing isn't as important
as external authority.
We're taught to look outside ofourselves for the answers and
to question whatever it is thatcan be answered from within.
(03:19):
We are taught not to listen andtrust ourselves.
Most of us, we learn to disruptour own instincts, we dismiss
our intuition and we rationalizeaway the quiet voice that knows
exactly what we need.
Carl Jung called this processthe development of the persona,
the mask we wear to fit intosociety.
(03:40):
But he understood that, whilethe persona is necessary for
functioning in the world.
But he understood that, whilethe persona is necessary for
functioning in the world, itbecomes toxic when we mistake
that persona for our true self.
When we live entirely from ourpersona, we lose access to what
Jung called the self with acapital S, the archetypal core
of who we really are.
This self, this capital S self,speaks through our inner
(04:03):
guidance.
It communicates through ourintuition, through body wisdom,
through our dreams, throughsynchronicities, through that
quiet knowing that doesn't needto justify itself to anyone, but
most of us have been taught,but most of us have been so
conditioned to ignore this voicethat we forgot it exists.
Or, if we hear it, we talkourselves out of it, and this is
(04:25):
especially true of women.
But then something happens, acrisis, a loss, a moment when
all of our external supportsfail and suddenly we are forced
to listen inward.
That's when we discover thatthe guidance we've been seeking
outside of ourselves has beenavailable to us all along.
(04:46):
So most of you know that.
Well, maybe not If you don'tlisten to my podcast, you don't
know.
But if you don't know, mybeautiful, amazing, favorite
human in the world, my son,transitioned to spirit back in
February of 2025.
And everything I thought, Iknew about my life and my
reality and my version ofreality was completely gone in
(05:08):
an instant All of the externalstructures I relied on, my role
as a mother, my sense of safety,my belief, especially, that
nothing terrible could befall me, because I had already been
through so much and I was beingobedient to God and to spirit
and to source and I was on thisspiritual journey and, mostly,
that I could protect and keepsafe the people that I loved.
(05:32):
All of that was just gone in aninstant.
But in that shattering,something really truly
extraordinary happened to me.
With all of my normal guidancesystems offline, I was forced to
listen to the only voice thatremained, and that was the voice
of my own soul.
And what I discovered?
That this voice has been thereall along inside of me,
(05:54):
patiently waiting for me to stopconsulting everyone and
everything else about my life.
And I discovered that when Ilistened to this voice, that I
can also feel vibrationally theenergy of my son and I can
receive telepathicallydownloaded messages from the
other side of the veil thatdefinitely do not come from my
(06:16):
own wisdom, because they arethings and thoughts and ideas
and concepts that I've neverthought of before.
And when I get these insights,I not only get the idea, I'm
getting the full bodily gnosisof the idea, I'm getting to
experience the meaning of it.
So it becomes embodied andinternalized, and so I'm living
these things, which reallyforced me to ask if I'm going
(06:40):
crazy or can I really trustmyself.
So I'm calling this processthat I'm going through mystical
grieving.
And there's a reason I'mcalling it mystical grieving,
because it's a mysticalexperience, for sure, and I
suspect that there's a reasonthat it's happening to me and
I'm seeking other mysticalgrievers to talk to about this.
(07:02):
But the first stage of mysticalgrieving is what I call the
shattering, and that's whengrace descends upon the heart
that's been broken open.
My freaking premonition I wroteon Instagram the day before my
son died, and what this is isabout the ego's control system
being dismantled so thatsomething deeper can emerge.
(07:22):
It's when you no longer canrely on external validation,
external security, externalguidance and really, really,
really, you're forced to findthe source of your own strength,
wisdom and the direction thatexists inside of you and to
validate and trust that your ownexperiences are real, they're
valid, you can follow them, youcan trust them.
(07:43):
But, aside from going through amajor crisis like this, jung,
there's a lot of psychologybehind this, and Jung also
understood that this kind ofcrisis is often the beginning of
our own individuation, theprocess of becoming who you
really are, beneath all of theconditioning, the expectations,
the borrowed beliefs, thestories, the traumas, the dramas
(08:04):
, all of it.
He knew that sometimes thepsyche has to be in crisis to
force us back into relationshipwith our authentic self.
But I know, and what Iabsolutely know, is that you
don't have to wait for a crisisto begin trusting your own inner
guidance.
You can choose to develop thisrelationship now, before life
(08:25):
forces you to.
One of the most importantdistinctions Young made was
between the ego and the self.
Your ego is your consciouspersonality.
It's the part of you thatthinks, plans, worries and tries
to control the outcomes.
The self with a capital S, yourdeeper essence, let's just call
it your deep self is the partof you that knows without
(08:47):
knowing how it knows.
It just knows and it sees thebigger picture.
That's connected to somethinglarger than your personal dramas
.
Both the ego and the self offerguidance, but they speak in
completely different languagesand they lead to completely
different destinations.
Completely different languagesand they lead to completely
(09:08):
different destinations.
Ego talk sounds like you shoulddo this, anything.
You should.
You should do this because it'spractical, it's safe or it's
what other people expect you todo.
You can't trust yourselfbecause you've made mistakes
before.
You need more information ormore credentials, another class,
another certification, moreexternal approval before you can
move forward.
I have been in that trap, wasin that trap for many, many,
(09:29):
many, many, many years and Ihave probably 20 something
certifications to demonstratethat insane thought, truly truly
an insane thought.
Because guess what, if you'regood at what you do and you're
moving from your passion, fromyour heart, from it being your
purpose and your calling in life, people don't give a crap about
your credentials, unless maybeyou're doing neurosurgery on
(09:51):
them.
Then, yeah, I want a topneurosurgeon.
Yes, you need training.
I'm not saying you don't needtraining.
But don't fall into the trap ofthinking that you constantly
need to get anothercertification when you're
well-equipped to do what youcame here to do or what you want
to do.
The ego says if you follow yourheart, you're going to end up
broke, you're going to wind upalone, you're going to be
(10:13):
disappointed, you're going tofail.
And the voice often feelsurgent, anxious, and it demands
immediate action, or it'sparalyzed by overthinking.
Or another thing I would liketo add in here that just popped
in as I wrote this list is thatit also likes to plan and
constantly just come up with newideas, new plans.
(10:35):
If you're a creative personlike I am, that was another trap
I fell into.
I'm full of great ideas, butsoul guidance feels like a quiet
knowing that doesn't.
You feel expanded inside ofyour body, you have a sense of
coming alive, timing feelsnatural instead of forced, and
(10:56):
it's wisdom that sounds liketruth rather than strategies.
The ego speaks in the languageof fear and it seeks to keep you
safe quote unquote safe bykeeping you the same.
And the self, the deep self,speaks in the language of love
and it seeks to guide you towardyour highest evolution, even
when that means leaving yourcomfort zone, and it's always
(11:18):
going to mean leaving yourcomfort zone.
Learning to distinguish betweenthese two voices is perhaps the
most important skill you candevelop as a conscious human
being.
So, each stage of mysticalgrieving that I've been through,
I've been documenting all ofthese as I've been walking this
process, and it's been amasterclass.
(11:38):
A masterclass in learning totrust deeper levels, deeper and
deeper levels of my own innerguidance, and that I'm receiving
guidance from beyond, from theinvisible realms that totally
exist.
So we talked about stage one,which is the shattering open,
and stage two is the thinning ofthe veil, and these are
(12:01):
documented stages.
By the way, the thinning of theveil taught me to trust
mystical experiences overrational explanations.
When I started receiving signsfrom Weston, big signs,
especially.
I mean, come on, he sent me akitten in a tree.
The synchronicities, the directcommunication, you better
believe.
And I have journals full of myego saying you're making this up
(12:23):
because you're grieving.
You're crazy, you're lookingfor connections that don't exist
.
But my soul knew theseexperiences were real.
I could feel that they werereal and I could feel the peace
that surpasses understanding inthe midst of such freaking,
heavy grief, and learning totrust that knowing over all of
(12:45):
those doubts was my first lessonin stepping into my soul
authority.
It's not easy.
I even found myself and I thinkI shared this before I shared
it on Instagram for sure thatearly on, when I was
experiencing these mysticalexperiences, I'm experiencing
this peace that surpassesunderstanding.
I have fallen into the gracethat broke me open.
(13:06):
I know I'm held in grace andI'm held in peace.
I know that I was spirituallyprepared for him to leave how, I
don't know, but I know that Iwas.
And so, when it came to grieving, I felt like I'm not grieving
right.
I was judging myself for my owngrieving process and especially
being around people who are notspiritual, who absolutely do
(13:28):
not get me and look at me like Ihave 27 heads and they're just
baffled at why I'm not at homein my bed, sobbing my head off
still.
And don't think that I don't dothat.
I just don't do it all day.
I cry, I release it, I let itout of my body.
I don't tell myself a storyabout it, I just feel how I feel
and I let it go.
And then I step back into thecertainty and the knowing that
(13:51):
he's right here with me and Italk to him and I just say I
miss you in your physical.
I'm glad you're hereenergetically, I can feel you.
I'm so grateful for that.
And I miss laughing with youand I miss your hugs and I miss
our deep conversations and Imiss laying in the backyard and
looking up at stars with you andnot saying anything, hoping
(14:12):
we'll find a UFO.
And then I went through thisinitiation of doubt.
Doubt taught me that doubtisn't the enemy of faith,
because every time I questionedwhether Weston was really
communicating with me, I had tochoose Was I going to trust my
direct experiences or myconditioned skepticism?
And this stage taught me thatdoubt is just another form of
(14:35):
external authority.
It's the voice of thecollective consensus trying to
override my personal knowing andother people can make you doubt
.
Especially if you talk and youshare with people who aren't
connected like you are.
They'll make you feel like, hmm, maybe I'm not experiencing
this, maybe I am making this allup, but every time you go into
doubt, your truth slips furtheraway.
(14:58):
And then after that came thisinvitation into trust, and it
showed me that trust isn't afeeling.
It's a choice that I make everyfreaking moment.
Even when I couldn't feelcertainty, I could still choose
to act from what I trust.
And I learned that waiting untilyou feel completely sure is
another way of avoiding yourpower, because your soul doesn't
(15:20):
wait to ask for permission toguide you.
It's guiding you all the time.
If you're listening, it justinvites and offers guidance and
wants you to follow and listento it.
And it only does that in thepresent moment.
And our mind is always castingus into the future, planning,
worrying, fantasizing, or it'sin the past, ruminating, wishing
(15:45):
, wanting anything to bedifferent than it actually is.
We have to train ourselves tostay present, because that's
where this whole guidanceactually comes through.
Stage five I call the communionof hearts, and it revealed that
inner guidance isn't just mypersonal opinion.
It's literally my connection todivine intelligence and when
I'm truly listening to my soul'sguidance, I am not just
(16:08):
accessing my mind's wisdom, mythoughts, my bodies.
I'm tapping into the samesource that guides our planets,
that knows exactly exactly wheneach flower should bloom.
It's mind-blowing when you cantap into that energy and feel it
, and feel that that energy iswhat moves you as well.
And this journey has definitelytaught me that inner guidance
(16:30):
isn't about getting what youwant not at all but it's about
discovering what your soul camehere to experience and express.
Throughout history, mystics fromevery tradition have understood
something that most people miss, and that's that true spiritual
authority does not come fromexternal credentials or borrowed
(16:50):
wisdom or anything outside ofyou.
It comes from direct personalrelationship with divine
intelligence, knowing with a G.
Teresa of Avila didn't need thechurch's permission to have
mystical experiences.
Rumi didn't need academicapproval to channel divine
poetry.
Joan of Arc didn't needmilitary training to know she
was called to lead an army.
They each had what Jung calleda direct connection to the deep
(17:16):
self, the archetypal core thattranscends your personal
identity and connects us touniversal wisdom.
But here's what's crucial tounderstand this connection isn't
reserved for special people, orfor saints or for geniuses.
In fact, it's their listeningto it that made them that way.
It's your birthright as aconscious being.
You don't have to earn theright to trust your inner
(17:38):
guidance.
You just have to know how tolisten to it and have the
courage to say yes and followwhat you hear.
Young spent years studyingmystical traditions and
discovered that they all pointto the same truth, and it's what
Yeshua taught us.
The kingdom of heaven is withinyou.
The Buddha nature is your truenature.
Christ consciousness isavailable to every human being.
(18:01):
The divine spark lives in yoursoul, not out there somewhere
far away that you have to try toget to.
This means that your innerguidance isn't just your
personal preference or yourpsychological processes.
It's your direct line to thesame intelligence that creates
galaxies and orchestrates theperfect timing of every
(18:22):
synchronicity of your life.
In the Aramaic language andcosmology, they would call this
the Nafsha.
I've talked about the concept ofthe Nafsha many times on other
shows.
It's N-A-P-H-S-H-A, nafsa, andI've come to understand it as
being like a transducer of theenergy of the consciousness of
(18:43):
source to flow through you andit gets utilized by you to the
capacity that you will and allowit to, because you have free
will, which is why we want to dothe shadow work.
It's why we want to healourselves and get out of the way
, clear up all this ego nonsense, so that we can become clear
conduits for this source to flowthrough us and inform the
(19:07):
intelligence of our body.
And again, it only happens inthe present moment.
And I equated this.
I came up with a really greatmetaphor for this just this
morning in meditation, and itwas like imagine a lamp.
Look in your room, where youare right now, if you have a
lamp, and imagine that this lampis an autonomous being who
decides it can light itself upwithout being plugged into a
(19:31):
socket.
But imagine that this lamp wasactually created to be a
lighthouse, but because it'slighting itself up, it's never
going to become a lighthouse.
It doesn't even know it can bea lighthouse.
And if you told it it could bea lighthouse, it would think you
were just absolutely crazy,because it's just a lamp.
And that's how we are.
We're lighting ourselves upwith our ego, we're lighting
(19:53):
ourselves up with ourconditioned self, our
conditioned, patterned responses, and this is also what Jung
referred to as dark light, whichmeans we are creating
projections of our own shadows.
So if you can plug yourself into the source from which you
came, then this energy sourcecan now flow through you and
(20:14):
guide you to becoming thelighthouse that you are, instead
of being a Christmas tree bulb.
It's such a perfect metaphor,it's such a perfect analogy for
this, and I absolutely believethat this force that Yeshua
spoke of, also in Aramaic, it'sthe Heruka Dekucha force, and it
is a force of consciousnessthat is as real as electricity
(20:38):
or gravity.
And just like people wereafraid of electricity when it
first came onto the circuit nopun intended, people were afraid
of it, and I think that in thefuture, as an awakened society,
awakened beings, it'll seem thatsame kind of nonsense and
absurdity that people oncemistook it as religion, because
(20:58):
it's not.
It's literally the force of thequantum field that is
intelligent and benevolent andit's made of love, and you can
call it God, you can call itsource, you can call it the
creator, you can call itwhatever you want to call it.
It's everything.
And then from that came thisforce of itself to make sure
(21:21):
that all things work out forgood.
And we don't have to wait forit to work out for good.
We can actually plug into it inthe present moment and operate
from it, and instead of ithaving to clean up all of our
messes and make sense of them inthe present, so we go.
Oh, that's why that happened.
Everything happens for a reason.
We can instead createconsciously from the present
moment, using this source theforce.
(21:43):
Be with you and createconsciously now, and that's how
we unfold into the process ofbecoming the lighthouse that we
are meant to be.
So when you develop inner trustand you decide to follow your
inner guidance and go againstthe grain of who you've been and
what you've been doing and whatother people expect of you and
(22:03):
what other people think youshould be doing, and you give up
the I'm going to be nice andI'm going to be whatever it is
you're being for approval.
It's going to ask you todisappoint people, and there's
nothing scarier for so many ofus than that.
It will lead you to makechoices that don't make sense to
other people.
It will invite you to live in away that challenges
conventional wisdom andthreatens people who need you to
(22:24):
stay predictable.
When you start following yoursoul's guidance, you might be
led to leave a successful career.
That's killing your spirit butyou make good money, or end
relationships that look great onpaper but they drain your
energy, or move to a place thatcalls to you for reasons you
cannot explain.
It will ask you to expressgifts that don't fit into neat
(22:46):
professional categories I can'ttell you how many of my clients
are women who are spiritual, whowork in corporate America and,
oh my gosh, am I happy they'rethere and it will ask you to say
no to opportunities thateveryone else thinks you're
crazy to refuse.
This is why most people neverdevelop real trust in their
inner guidance.
It's not because the guidanceis not there, it's because
(23:08):
following it requires a level ofcourage that most people aren't
willing to cultivate.
And Young called this process ofdifferentiation, which is
learning to separate yourauthentic voice from the voices
of your parents, the culture,the society, the collective
conditioning of fear that you'vebeen programmed to listen to
since birth.
And this process is inherentlyrebellious because it asks you
(23:31):
to value your inner truth overexternal approval.
But what happens when you findthe courage to follow your inner
truth over external approval?
But what happens when you findthe courage to follow your
soul's guidance consistently isthis you discover a level of
inner fulfillment, authenticityand spiritual power that isn't
available any other way.
You stop living as an imitationof yourself and you start
(23:52):
embodying your actual fullessence.
You become who you came here tobe rather than who you were
taught to be, and your mind andyour body are intimately
connected.
Your body is constantlyreceiving and processing
information from yourenvironment, from your
relationships and from your owninner state of being, and
(24:14):
learning to read these subtlephysical signals is one of the
most reliable ways to accessyour inner guidance, because you
have three brains.
We have our head, and in theWest we worship the brain, the
thinking processing brain.
But we also have a heart thattells us what's right.
And we also have a gut brain,which is where our feelings live
(24:38):
.
That's where your intuitionlives.
You get a gut feeling.
That is literally where yourfeelings come in.
They don't have language, andso we have to learn to trust
ourselves, because that gutfeeling that's telling you go,
and it goes up to your heart andyour heart says yes.
And it gets up to your mind andyour mind says this makes no
sense, I'm so scared I am notdoing this, and this all happens
(25:00):
in the quickest snap of afinger than you can, even before
you're even consciously awareof it.
Oftentimes, if you're not awareof these processes that go on
inside of your body, your bodynever lies about what's true for
you.
It knows the difference betweenauthentic soul guidance and
mental manipulation.
It can sense when someonearound you is untrustworthy or
when the situation is aligned toyour highest good.
(25:22):
The challenge is learning tolisten to these subtle signals
and trust what they're tellingyou, especially women.
Oh my gosh.
I remember watching a show manyyears ago about women who are
attacked and how often they hada bad feeling about the person.
But then their mind said you'rebeing ridiculous, you're being
(25:44):
judgmental, you're being this,you're being that.
Go be a nice lady.
Instead of listening to thatintuition that said this guy's a
creep.
That's a fact.
There's so much documentedevidence about that.
So just think about that foryourself.
How often do you override yourown inner knowing when your mind
, your own mind, judges you foryour own inner experiences that
(26:07):
you're having?
When you are receivingauthentic inner guidance, your
body will feel expansive, itwill feel open.
It will feel expansive, it willfeel open, it will feel
energized, it'll feel peaceful,even if the guidance is
challenging.
You will feel grounded andcentered in your knowing, you
feel like you're moving in theright direction, even if you
can't see the destination,because you just trust yourself
(26:28):
so much you can say no withoutexplaining yourself.
Oh, and for love, love of God,please stop apologizing.
I heard a woman today.
I was dropping off my car to befixed and she came in and the
guy was there and first thingshe says is hi, sorry.
I'm like, why are you sayingyou're sorry?
You're sorry for dropping offyour car to be fixed?
I hear women do this a lot.
(26:48):
When we bump into each other,passing in a bathroom, or,
instead of saying excuse me,I'll say oh, I'm sorry.
It's this constant apologizingthat women do.
I'm sorry for existing, I'msorry my presence is here.
I'm sorry I was in your way,I'm sorry, I'm bothering you.
I'm sorry I'm speaking up.
Can we stop saying we're sorryand save the apologies for when
(27:09):
we really are sorry forsomething, not all these little
things that are really the egogoing.
Oh gosh, I inconveniencedsomeone.
You know, when you're followingyour ego, because your body will
feel contracted, tight ordepleted, anxious, agitated or
numb, disconnected from yourcenter, like you're all in your
head, like you're moving awayfrom yourself when you start
(27:39):
instantly judging yourself likeoh why did I say, yes, I would
do that thing?
I don't want to do that.
I've learned to check everysituation and every decision
against my body's inherentwisdom.
Especially now and when Westoncommunicates with me, I feel his
energy, I feel him physicallyand if I wasn't subtly attuned I
wouldn't notice, because itfeels like an energetic pole
that sidles up to my right handside and it doesn't feel like my
own energy field.
I can sense his presence.
(27:59):
When I'm following authenticguidance, I feel aligned, I feel
energized, and when I'moperating from fear or trying to
please others, my body feelsheavy and constricted and I just
don't do it anymore.
Your body is your most reliableinner guidance compass.
It's always available, it'salways honest and you're always,
always, always.
It's working in service of yourhighest good and every time we
(28:22):
listen to it, it says yay, she'strusting herself, and then
it'll give you more to trust.
So you can learn to develop andbecome sensitive to your own
inner world.
And become sensitive to yourown inner world.
Begin each day by sittingquietly and asking within what
wants to emerge through me.
How can I best serve my highestevolution and say I'm willing
(28:45):
to listen, show me, guide me,let me tune in through the day
and be committed to listeningwith your mind, with your heart,
with your heart, with your body, with your energy field, your
whole being, and notice whatarises, and then have the
courage to trust that firstguidance you receive.
I love to do what I call thethree breath check-in before
(29:06):
making any decision, especiallybecause I'm a manifesting
generator and I have emotionalauthority, which means I get
really excited in the moment I'mlike, oh, I love this idea, but
the next day I might not be soin love with the idea.
I've learned to wait to makebig decisions.
Number one I will wait a fewdays and see if I'm still
excited about it, but if I'mfacing a decision right, then I
(29:27):
will take three deep breathsinside of my body and ask if it
feels expansive inside of mybody or if it feels contracting
in any way inside of my body.
What would love choose here?
And then I trust the wisdomthat emerges from that centered
place.
And if people won't be patientwith you in making a decision,
well then I just tell them.
(29:48):
If you have to make a decisionright now, I understand If you
can't wait for me to make mydecision and you need to fill
this spot or you need to havesomeone else in, I totally get
it.
That's fine.
But I need to make thisdecision when I feel like it's
right for me.
If it means I miss out on thisopportunity right now, then okay
, but you'll know.
I miss out on this opportunityright now, then okay, but you'll
(30:11):
know and that's not always, butyou'll know.
When facing a choice, imagineexplaining each option to
someone whose opinion that youtotally value.
Talk to your deep self likeit's your best friend and find
out which choice you findyourself defending or justifying
to yourself.
Which one lights you up whenyou talk about it, what makes
you feel really excited when youstart sharing it with yourself.
(30:31):
The option that you have toconvince others about is usually
the ego choice.
The option that feels true,even if you can't explain why,
is usually the sole choice.
It just feels calm, like Idon't know why I love to get
dream practices in as well atnight when I'm sleeping.
Before I go to get dreampractices in as well at night
when I'm sleeping, before I goto sleep, I'll ask for inner
(30:51):
guidance or clarity around asituation and I'll request that
that answer come in through mydreams.
You can keep a journal by yourbed or record what comes up on
your phone, even if it seemsunrelated to your question,
because, remember, our dreamsspeak in symbols, not literally.
And then I will ask Chatty G tobe a Jungian dream analyst and
(31:16):
I'll share the details of mydream and you can even share
what question you asked.
Here's the question I askedbefore I went to bed.
Here's what I dreamed lastnight.
How are these relevant?
And you might be amazed at whatcomes through.
And practice noticing howdifferent people, places and
activities affect your energyfield, how you feel physically,
(31:37):
how you feel emotionally, howyou feel mentally, because your
inner guidance is constantlycommunicating through your
energetic responses, yourbiofield.
And learn to trust whensomething feels nourishing
versus draining, even if youcan't explain why rationally.
The key is to start small andbuild your trust gradually.
Ask for guidance about minordecisions and notice the results
(31:58):
when you follow your innerknowing versus when you ignore
it.
Over time, you will developconfidence in your inner compass
and be ready to trust it withbigger choices.
Perhaps the most challengingaspect of following your inner
guidance is navigating thereactions of people who are
invested in you staying the sameFamily members who expect you
to fulfill your role that you'vebeen playing all these years.
(32:21):
Friends who need you to bepredictable because they don't
want to upset their world either.
Colleagues who've built theiridentity around your shared
beliefs.
And society that has rulesabout how people should live and
how people should behave, andeven about how people should
grieve.
When you start following yoursoul's guidance, you'll
inevitably make choices thatothers don't understand, and
(32:43):
that's okay.
They might attack you, theymight accuse you of being
selfish, irresponsible, or maybeyou're having a midlife crisis.
They might withdraw theirsupport financially, emotionally
, in lots of ways, becausethat's how they want to control
you or try to convince you thatyou're making a huge mistake.
But this is the ultimate test ofyour inner guidance Are you
(33:06):
willing to honor your soul'struth, even if it disappoints
others?
Are you willing to bemisunderstood in service of
being authentic Individuation?
The process of individuation,becoming who you really are is
inherently disruptive to thecollective norms, and he said
one of my favorite quotes, whichis the privilege of a lifetime
is to become who you truly are.
(33:26):
But he also knew that thisprivilege comes with a price the
willingness to stand alone whennecessary.
And I've learned that thepeople who truly love you will
eventually respect yourauthenticity, even if they don't
get your choices.
And the people who can't acceptyour authentic self weren't
actually loving the real you.
Anyway, they were loving theirprojection of who they needed
(33:48):
you to be, to play a role intheir version of reality.
Following your own innerguidance isn't just to be
defiant or reject everybody'sinput or be a lone island.
You're not becoming isolated,you're not becoming
self-absorbed, but you'redeveloping the discernment to
know when external advice servesyour soul's evolution and when
(34:10):
its attempt is to keep you small, safe and convenient to others.
One of my favorite things thatsomeone once said to me I gave
her unsolicited advice back whenI was very dysfunctional and
she said you don't have what Iwant, so I'm not going to listen
to you.
That right, there is radicalself-trust.
(34:30):
I love that she said that to me.
I was not angry at all.
In fact, bells went off insideof me.
I was like, oh my gosh, I don'thave what I want either.
And this is what we do whenwe're advice giving, like that
right, the unsolicited advice,projecting, projecting,
projecting in a world thatprofits from your insecurity and
(34:52):
your dependence.
Trusting your inner guidance issuch a radical act.
It truly is.
It is spiritual rebellionagainst every system that tells
you to look outside of yourselffor the answers to questions
that can only be answered fromwithin you.
When you trust your innerguidance, you stop being a
consumer of other people'swisdom and become a channel for
(35:13):
divine intelligence.
You stop seeking validation foryour choices and start making
choices that validate your soul.
You stop living according toother people's expectations and
start embodying your ownauthentic purpose.
You don't have to becomearrogant or dismissive of other
people's perspectives.
Everyone has a right to theirown reality, and that includes
you.
(35:34):
True inner guidance in factmakes you more compassionate,
not less compassionate, and itconnects you to the same source
of love that flows through everybeing.
The same source that'sinforming your soul-led
decisions also informs theirs,but they may not be listening to
it yet.
It just means you stop givingyour power away to external
(35:56):
authorities who don't haveaccess to your soul's blueprint,
and you stop giving your poweraway because you think you're
not worthy of it.
You stop giving your power awaybecause you're afraid of it.
Your authentic spiritualessence is both personal and
transpersonal.
You're not worthy of it.
You stop giving your power awaybecause you're afraid of it.
Your authentic spiritualessence is both personal and
(36:16):
transpersonal.
It's uniquely you, but it'salso connected into a universal
wisdom.
When you trust your innerguidance, you're not just
following your personalpreferences, you're aligning
with the creative intelligenceof the universe itself.
As you go through a process ofawakening, you will come to the
point where you have aresurrection of your true self,
and this is when you fullyembody the wisdom that you've
(36:39):
gained through your journey ofself-trust and action in
alignment with your self-trust.
You're no longer seekingyourself anymore.
You're not seeking anythingoutside of you, wondering who
you are.
You're expressing yourself.
You're not looking for yourpurpose, you're living your
purpose.
And this resurrection is notever about resurrecting your old
(37:03):
self, becoming who you used tobe.
That would not be resurrection.
But this is really resurrectingthe true self that you could
have been, that you should havebeen, had you been brought up in
an environment where your lightwas seen, nourished and brought
out, so that you never had tobecome a lamp.
You were always a lighthouse,and you don't pursue
(37:24):
opportunities that ask you tobetray your authentic self
anymore and you never abandonyour inner knowing because you
feel so connected.
You're not going to be perfect.
You're a human being.
You will make mistakes, but youpick yourself up so much faster
, you catch yourself so muchfaster.
I know, if I slip into judgmentof someone boy, I feel it so
differently.
It's like a splinter in myconsciousness and I'm like, oh
(37:46):
gosh, I'm in judgment of them,yuck.
Then I say, okay, what am Ijudging in myself?
What am I projecting right now?
What am I fearing in my ownshadow?
This is a clue that something'sblocking my light.
We want to have so much trustin our inner compass that, even
when we do take those wrongturns which we will because
we're human that we know how tofind our way back to our center
(38:08):
fast.
We live from essence ratherthan from conditioning.
We are soul-led rather thanego-led, which means we're
living from love rather thanfear.
And as we come to the end of ourtime together today, I just
want you to take a moment andlisten, not to my voice, but to
the voice inside of you that'sbeen speaking throughout this
(38:30):
entire conversation, the voicethat's been saying yes to
certain ideas or lighting you upinside.
That voice knows exactly whatyou need to hear right now and
is going.
Hey, pay attention to that.
That voice is your innerguidance.
It has been with you since themoment you were born and it will
be with you until the momentyou transition back to spirit.
(38:52):
It's more reliable than anyexternal authority.
It's really more loving thanany human could ever be.
Your inner guidance knows whyyou incarnated in this lifetime.
It knows what experiences yoursoul came here to have, what
gifts you came here to share,what healing you came here to
offer the world.
What gifts you came here toshare, what healing you came
here to offer the world, whathealing you came here to receive
.
It knows the perfect timing forevery transition, every
(39:15):
relationship and everyopportunity that's meant for you
.
And this isn't to say that youdon't read, that you don't get a
coach.
In fact, that's my number onecriteria for having a coach is
they need to be way beyond whereI'm at right now and they have
to have what I want.
And I'm not talking aboutmaterially, I'm talking about
embodied presence, somethingthey're embodying, something
(39:38):
they're exuding, somethingthey're living and being.
They're not just talking aboutit.
Anyone can talk about it, butnot everyone will be about it,
and there's a big differencethere.
So beloved, beautiful lighthouse, lighthouse that you are.
Are you ready to trust thatvoice inside of you?
(39:59):
Are you ready to stop seekingoutside of yourself for answers
that can be found within?
You do know the way.
Are you ready to follow theguidance of your soul, even when
it leads you into territory?
Your mind Are you ready tofollow the guidance of your soul
, even when it leads you intoterritory your mind has never
dared to venture?
Are you ready to become theperson you came here to be,
rather than the person you weretaught to be?
Because your inner guidance hasbeen patiently waiting for you
(40:23):
to remember that you alreadyknow everything you need to know
.
You already have everything youneed to take your next step.
You already are everything youneed to know.
You already have everything youneed to take your next step.
You already are everythingyou've been seeking to become.
The path home to your authenticself isn't somewhere out there.
You don't need to seek it.
It's right here.
And when you ask, know thatthis force in the universe will
(40:46):
begin to work on you and thefirst thing it's going to show
you is what you're doing.
That's in the universe willbegin to work on you and the
first thing it's going to showyou is what you're doing.
That's in the way it disruptsyour life immediately through
the process of inner discomfort.
For me, a long time ago now,that was drinking alcohol.
Every time I would do it, Iknew I shouldn't be, I would
beat myself up for days.
And it's that very feeling,that very feeling of beating
(41:11):
myself up, of feeling crappy fora choice I made, and then how
my ego would wrestle with itselfoh, but I love it.
Oh, but it's so much fun.
Oh, but we enjoy it.
Oh, but this, oh, but that.
It's trying to overwrite thatvoice that's saying stop, you're
in the way of what wants tocome through.
So notice those feelings insideof you, because that's right
(41:33):
where your work lies, that'sright what this work is.
And that's why it's so damnhard, because it's hard to say
no to our conditioned self.
Let's not lie about that.
It's hard to say no to thosepatterns.
But once you do and you getdown the road a little ways,
then you look back and you go.
What was so hard about it?
The conditioning is hard, thepatterning is hard, because it's
(41:54):
like a ship in momentum.
You've been doing this, You'vebeen rowing, you've been rowing,
you've been rowing.
You've been rowing.
So even when you pull your oarsin, you're still going in that
direction and it takes energy toturn the other way around.
And that takes conscious energythrough the process of saying no
to what you don't really want,but what your ego says it wants
(42:16):
right now, but what your souldoesn't really want anymore.
And I don't look at it as beingdisciplined like I'm punishing
myself.
I call it bliss-a-plin with a,b or acts of devotion.
I've started this new processof devotional eating Instead of
putting myself on anotherfricking diet like I have for
the last 50 years with my foodissues that I'm healing now,
(42:39):
that are clearing out becausethey don't want to be.
They don't belong here anymore.
And so I had this download trydevotional eating because your
body is a temple.
Make an offering of every meal,like you're going to a temple
and you see the beautifulincense and the oranges and the
water offerings and the gold andthe coins and all these things,
(43:01):
these offerings made at temples.
I saw this visual.
I said what if I make my everymeal a devotional offering like
that to myself?
And that really clears that upin my ego.
That's like oh, but I lovecookies.
So listen in and, yes, it'sgoing to be hard, but you can do
it and it's so worth it.
So I want to invite you to workwith something right now.
(43:25):
If you're in a safe space, closeyour eyes and take three deep
breaths and place one hand onyour heart and one on your belly
, and let's do this togetherInhaling in, exhale Let your
(43:47):
shoulders drop on your exhale.
Take another.
Inhale in, exhale out oh, letthose shoulders drop even more.
One more breath in.
Take another sip of air.
Exhale and drop those shoulders.
(44:12):
Ah.
Ask your soul inside of yourselfthis question what is one thing
I already know I need to dothat I've been avoiding or
questioning myself about?
(44:32):
Don't think about it, justnotice what arises.
Trust the first guidance, evenif it's small, obvious or God
forbid impractical.
Ask it again.
(44:55):
What is one thing I alreadyknow I need to do that I've been
avoiding or questioning,questioning what would it mean
(45:21):
for my life if I trusted thisguidance completely?
Feel into the possibility andlet yourself imagine what your
life would look like if youfollowed your inner knowing,
consistently, courageously,completely.
Your future isn't a fantasy.
It's a possibility that becomesavailable the moment you choose
(45:44):
to trust and listen to thewisdom that lives within you.
Your guidance has been callingyou home your whole life and
today, right now, this moment,nothing before this moment
matters, because there's nothingthat can change in the past.
(46:06):
But you can clearly see whatyou've learned, you can clearly
see what your patterns are, youcan clearly see what serves you
and what doesn't serve you, andyou can choose from right now.
(46:26):
And you can choose from rightnow.
Our whole life is built on tinychoices we make day in and day
out, all day long.
So what would happen if youjust allowed your inner guidance
(46:48):
system to guide you Until nexttime?
You, beautiful souls, rememberwhat you already know.
Remember what you've alwaysknown.
The guidance is there inside ofyou.
Are you ready and willing tosay yes to it and listen to it
and to trust it?
And if you're listening to thispodcast, if these words are
resonating in that deep placewithin you that recognizes truth
