(00:25):
Welcome back to Wisdom Rising.
This week's episode, we touchinto Bear Medicine.
Bear, the ancient guardian ofintrospection and healing.
Bear medicine calls us tojourney within, to follow the
tracks that lead not across theland, but deep into the caves of
our own soul.
This is a season of change thatis upon us as we move into the

(00:46):
fall season where we are ledinto introspection.
So our conversation today withChantel is going to bring us
deep into this inner wisdom ofhow we can find our own inner
landscape to awaken our wisdomrising from within.
Welcome, welcome, welcome,everyone back to another
Whispers of Wisdom.

(01:07):
I'm joined with Chantel Ochoa aswe begin our whispers of wisdom
on the topic of the hibernation,of the season of change, of bear
bear medicine, all the things.
I love your necklace thismorning.
Thank you.
This was my grandmother.
She loved supporting NativeAmerican artists.

(01:28):
And so I and when she passed,I've I received all of her
turquoise jewelry, all of herNative American jewelry.
That's a nice piece.
That's a really lovely piece.

SPEAKER_00 (01:39):
I don't know if I've ever seen you wear it.

SPEAKER_03 (01:42):
Have you?
That's interesting.
You yeah, I would assume thatyou would have at some point.
I tend to wear it when I'mfeeling like I need the
strength.
Like this is a really powerfulenergy.
Like it's an eagle with hertalons out.
Like, so whenever I'm feelinglike I really need to feel
stronger, this is this is thisis where I go to.

SPEAKER_00 (02:06):
No, it definitely is.
I think it's too deep.
It's very suited for aconversation this morning.
Totally.
But yeah, we're gonna be talkingabout our current season, our
season of where our earth is,well, at least here in our area
of the world, going into thefall season, going within our
internal cave, following theexample of the bear and its

(02:30):
medicine and what we can callforward with that.
Well, so how are you feeling aswe are diving into this topic?
Are you connecting with thefall?
And I know that you get a lot ofsnow where you're at earlier
than some of the rest of us.

SPEAKER_03 (02:44):
So you know, I think that's why I feel really off, is
because we landed back inBozeman and it was 70 degrees
mid-November.
This is not normal.
Like it's like 55 out right now,and this is not normal November
weather.

(03:04):
We should have two inches ofsnow outside right now, and it's
very warm.
It's it's it's unnerving, iswhat it is.

SPEAKER_00 (03:14):
So you you did get snow a couple weeks ago, I
remember you saying, right?

SPEAKER_03 (03:19):
We had one day of snow, I think, in early October,
and then it's been it's beenreally nice, it's been
unseasonably warm.
Um, like right now, I could goout and keep working on the
garden.
Like it's that it's nice out.
I'm like, this is not how it'ssupposed to be.
It's supposed to be bear seasonwhere all of the bears should be

(03:43):
hibernating by now, and that'sum, and you and now you still
can't walk the trail um in theevenings or early morning
because the bear is still out.

SPEAKER_00 (03:54):
So they're still out right now.

SPEAKER_03 (03:55):
Yeah, like I would not be on that trail unless it
was midday, and then I had likethere was enough people and dogs
around, you know.
Yeah, but yeah, so the weatheris so bizarre.
So when you brought up thistopic as a potential
conversation for whispers ofwisdom, I was like, I need this,
like I need all of this, and Ineed the weather to change so I

(04:19):
can feel it.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (04:21):
Well, you know, I've just been having a lot of
conversations with people andthey're just talking about where
they are emotionally, and andI'm realizing, you know, well, a
lot of that is because of wherewe are, where our seasons are.
Because even if our if mothernature is not showing up the way
we expect it to, energetically,we're still all being pulled
into that.
And so um, yeah, definitelyhaving conversations where

(04:45):
people are like, man, I justfeel like my energy is low.
I just want to be home, I wantto be cuddled up in a blanket,
and our weather is not.
We just went through three daysof beautiful rain.
I mean, it just been raining,dumping on us, which um we
haven't had in a minute.
So that was really nice.
So it definitely was like becamesoup season real quick.

(05:06):
And no, we are very obviouslyI'm in a tank top.
So we're not we're not fullblown like winter or late fall,
but um, for our time of year,yeah, we're definitely um not in
the current temperature that wetypically are as well.
But people are feeling it, andso I just think it's a great

(05:26):
reminder and conversation tohave so people can tune into
where they are.
Are they returning to self?
Are they going into their innercave, their inner den to do that
introspection where we're beingguided to?
Or are people still feelingactive?
And you know, like you said, youcan go garden.

SPEAKER_03 (05:45):
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Well, and even the gardeningright now, it's like putting
things to bed, you know, andthat's a very different type of
gardening when it's like you'vepulled out the old squash
plants, or you've pulled out thethe the pea pods, or you know,
all of the things that were infull vibrancy and now it's dead,
you know, and so you you take itout and you put it in the

(06:07):
compost and and just thatprocess of okay, we're we're
intentionally moving the energyaround.
And then you take your gardenbeds and to put them to bed, you
might add leaves or compost orstraw, and you put them to bed,
and it's to prepare their energyto decompose and re-nitrogen

(06:29):
themselves in preparation forthe spring, you know.
So there's a bit of fallgardening that is very different
because it is putting things tosleep, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (06:40):
You know, which is great symbolically, you know,
synchronistically, that is wherewe are.
It's like putting it to sleep,putting it to bed.
It's a good way of putting it.
Yeah, and that, you know,especially with the the shorter
days, the longer nights now,like, you know, it's filling
late and it's 5:30 and dark.
And we go through this everyyear, but I think we've gotten

(07:01):
so detached from our natural,like circadian rhythm rhythm and
connecting with our nature thatwe don't think about it until
somebody mentions it and then'slike, oh yeah, well, that makes
sense.
You know, as the leaves arechanging, as things the night is
getting longer, the day isgetting shorter, we too are
filling into that.

(07:22):
So this isn't really a time forus to be crazy building, it's
time for us to be sitting andresting and thinking about how
our year has been and what wherewe are currently.

SPEAKER_03 (07:33):
Yeah.
And I think people are reallydefinitely feeling that need to
go inward.
I just attended a cacao ceremonyon Saturday, and there was we
got a good decent crowd.
There was probably like 25 ofus.
And and everyone was like, Imade I forced myself to come out

(07:54):
of my house.
I made myself like I wantcommunity and I haven't left my
house in weeks, you know.
Like that that was like theoverall sentiment.
Like I'm forcing myself to dothis thing to reconnect with
people and to feel amongstlike-minded people.
And it was very much like Ihaven't been called to that.

(08:15):
So it was nice that even if it'sjust once a month to come and
gather together in community,but there is this general
sentiment of being quiet andwanting to go inward.
And I think that is really um abeautiful calling, you know.
And I see that in our studentstoo.
I love how our program is set upbecause it's a calling to like

(08:37):
the further you go in, it's likeyou're going deeper and deeper
inward.
And so I love the fall cohortbecause it's like you can see it
in them.
Like now they're really ready todo the inner work.
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (08:53):
And it is, and then you start seeing like as they're
showing up, are people like morein cozy clothes and they're
snuggled up on their couchversus like the desk where they
might have first sat andblankets and all that.
I went shopping yesterday and Ijust bought a bunch of PJs.
And I don't have, I'm not a PJgirl, like I love whatever I
wear, but no, I've been like, Ifound these really soft ones.

(09:15):
And even the lady when she waschecking, she's because these
are really soft.
I'm like, yep, and that's myseason.
That's like literally gonna bemy season.
I'm like, I'm all good for that.
Put the fire on, have some nicecozy PJs, and uh, that sounds
like a good night.

SPEAKER_03 (09:30):
Right.
And no, I think that's there'san invitation there of like,
this is your season to goinward.
What does that look like foryou?
Does that mean cozy PJs?
Does that mean tea by the fire?
Does that mean shoveling yoursnow?
Like, what does that mean foryou?
Because there's so muchintrospection possible if we're
doing it intentionally.

SPEAKER_00 (09:52):
Yeah, yeah.
So um some of the things that Iam looking forward to this fall
is just to do that, is to dosome really strong
introspection, which I'vealready started, but now I'm I'm
just filling that inner pool.
And you know, I don't know if italso is coming with I don't mean

(10:12):
age and like you're gettingolder, but I mean like the
wisdom of aging, the wisdom oflearning all of the things that
I've learned and I've processedover, you know, the last five,
six years and longer, but youknow, and I feel like I really
do embrace these cycles in life,these natural cycles.

(10:35):
Versus when I was younger, youknow, it was like, no, none of
that, none of that evenregistered so much.
It was like the knowing of, butnothing.
I wasn't like, oh, now I'm gonnabe intentional with this.
So I think it's a greatinvitation for all of us to just
tune in and see what it is thatwe want to um to bring forward
come spring, come summer.

(10:56):
Yeah, right.
And we we're starting thatprocess now as we're closing
this up.
Yeah.
Right.
As we're putting ourselves tobed, so to speak.

SPEAKER_03 (11:06):
Right.
And I it's curious to kind oflook at where where are you at
in that process of birth andgrowth and death and rebirth
again.
And this is the season torecognize that so much is ready
to be composted in your life.
Right.
And I think that's the likewhether it's my actual physical

(11:27):
garden or what's going on in mylife that I'm ready to release,
just like the the leaves of atree fall away.
Like, what am I really holdingon to that I don't want to
anymore?
And it's sometimes it's simpleacts.
Like I'm going through, likehere in Montana, you have two
sets of clothing.
Like, I won't need any summerclothes for the next probably

(11:50):
seven months.
Like, not necessary.
So I put them away.
But every time I do put themaway, I go through each piece
and go, is this something thatresonates who I am?
Is this something that brings mejoy, or is this something I
didn't wear this whole entirepast season?
And I'm ready to let it go.
Right.
So it's kind of that evaluationin many aspects of your life,

(12:13):
like whether it's your closet oryour job situation or parts of
yourself that are like, wow, I'mreally been holding on to this
limiting belief, and now I'mfinally ready to go inward and
evaluate and go, how is thisserving me?
What's the benefit of thislimiting belief?
What am I gaining from this?

(12:34):
And is it true?
Can I let it go?
What and so just that thatwisdom of reflection and taking
the time to reflect, do thejournaling, to do, to do your
your journey, your journeyingwork, whatever it may be, is so
supportive in the season of likeum we're not going out as much,

(12:56):
you know.
And so there is that physicalityof uh yeah, I probably will be
home doing lots of baking andand nourishing of my den, the
bear's den, you know.

SPEAKER_00 (13:08):
And yeah, I like that was last night making soup
and stuff like that.
I came home, I had class onSaturday, and I got home and I
was expecting soup because hewas home and it was raining and
he made something else.
And I was like, Oh, I figuredyou'd make soup.
And he goes, Oh, that sounds sogood.
And I'm like, Oh, it's all good,whatever we're eating.
But so yesterday I did that andwe went out for a little bit,

(13:29):
and both of us, when we got out,we were like, Okay, we're ready
just to go home.
You know, and there is that,like you're saying, that that
death and rebirth, that cyclethat we're all going through,
that self-evaluation right nowof what is serving me and what
isn't serving me.
And so this is that time to beable to bury what doesn't serve
and let it go and release it andcompost it, burn it, whatever,

(13:52):
right?
Is to have those rituals withself, whether it's just a verbal
contract with yourself, you'resetting your own guidelines and
boundaries or whatever, you'rejust in sense of releasing
people and things, or you'restanding your in your own, like,
okay, I want to nurse that.
So let's go ahead and keep thatgoing and nourish it how it

(14:15):
needs it.
Right.
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (14:17):
Yeah.
So how for how for you do yousee bear wisdom show up in your
life in other ways?
Or what does bear wisdom mean toyou?

SPEAKER_00 (14:26):
Uh to me, it means the the packing of like you
know, how he's always in searchof food and out and lumbering in
the woods.
And then I feel like there'sjust this natural call to go
within that sleeping ofhibernation.
And I mean, bear sleeps for likewhat, four months, five months
or something, which I think isso crazy.

(14:49):
But um, you know, so definitelyit's it's knowing to follow the
tracks of that and what animals,what are the animals doing?
What are they naturally doing?
You know, like here, I don'thave bears in my town, my area
like you do, but I have birds, Ihave hummingbirds, I have
different butterflies and thingslike that naturally are always

(15:11):
around, and then they go away.
You know, other things startcoming out right now, but
there's just nature is startingto shift.
And I'm not in an area evenwhere we lose our leaves, but
you can see where things arestarting to become wintered.
They're they're weatherizingthemselves and naturally, and so
when you see that in the plantsthat are naturally around you,

(15:32):
that's a calling, like, oh, it'sa reminder.
Like I have some tropical plantsin my front yard, and this time
of year it it's they don'tthrive, you know, they're all
wilted and dried up, and if theyget frostbite, we have to
protect them and all that stuff.
So um, it's just different, butyou can feel it, you feel the
earth beneath you going, it'stime to rest.

SPEAKER_03 (15:53):
Yeah.
Yeah, it's interesting becausemy uh power animal is bear, and
and I'm you know, we madecontact when I first started
training in shamanic studiesprobably over 15 years ago, and
she didn't do nothing other thaneat and rest.
Eat and rest, eat and rest.
And that was that was themessage, right?

(16:15):
Like I've always been kind of ago, go, go personality and
stretching myself thin and likeovergiving to others.
And and bear's just like, we'rejust gonna eat the berries and
then we're gonna rest, and thenwe're gonna eat the fish, and
then we're gonna rest.
Like that's that was the messagefor me.
Like, just eat the things andrest.

(16:37):
And so I I always haveappreciated Bear's quiet,
underlying wisdom for meconstantly.
Like, where are we resting?
Like yesterday, I had no need ofno physical awareness of a need
why I would need a nap.
And I was like, I need to take anap.
And I lied down and take took anap.
Like I had plenty of sleep thenight before, but there's

(16:59):
definitely um this call to belike, let your body do what it
needs to do.
And if that is eating the warm,nourishing soups, or taking a
rest, or reading a book, orjournaling, like all of those, I
don't know, in introspectiveinternal um it feels very um

(17:27):
supportive for where we're we'reat in this season.

SPEAKER_00 (17:31):
I think so too.
I'm curious to know, like,because I also believe on the
other side, we're spirituallydoing work at this time of year
too.
So I think our bodies need torest so that we can be doing
other things energetically orwhatever, you know.
Um, so it's it's the it isfilling into that too, because

(17:53):
knowing when we're sleeping, ourbody's sleeping, but we're not
sleeping, like our consciousisn't sleeping like that.
So what else are we doing thatthis time of year is so
important?

unknown (18:03):
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (18:04):
Like, is it a more spiritually advanced, like
active time, and then our bodyis resting because of that?
Or you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 (18:12):
I that's a really good curiosity because I think
that there's some truth in that,because I think there's a lot of
things going on currently,whether it's with these dang
solar flares, or yes, you know,the all of these planets in
retrograde or the Schumannresonance, like there's all
kinds of things happening, bothfrom the sun and the earth and
everything in between, wherethings are feeling really uh

(18:35):
kind of intense.
You know, we just had our 1111portal, like all of these things
are happening, and what's yourreaction to it?
Right.
Like, I think there's a lotgoing on, whether subconsciously
or consciously, and it's it'sthe rest that we need to help

(18:57):
integrate and energeticallyup-level our I almost want to
say like biosphere, like yeah,right.

SPEAKER_00 (19:07):
Yeah, it's like we're we are we're upgrading our
DNA and our like crystallinebody and all that because we
have to, because everything ischanging around us, the earth is
changing, so we have to evolvewith that too.
And I think that you're rightwith that is the integration
right now of what uh everythingthat's going on, because that's

(19:27):
what everyone's talking about.
It's like I went, I had a classlast week, and then um, you
know, the students are like, I'mjust feeling retrograde.
It was in my master class and umfor archetypes, and you know,
they're like, check in, how areyou feeling?
They're like, this retrograde.
And I was like, Oh, that'scrazy.
And half the class felt likethat, you know, and I'm like,
oh, I get that.
So people are way more in tuneto that, what's happening out

(19:52):
there versus just what'shappening around them.
Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 (19:57):
And I think that that's why there's this
consistent invitation duringthis season to really start, if
you haven't yet started, to slowdown.
I I had uh a student on lastnight where she is one of those
go, go, go, over serve herfamily.

(20:18):
Um, she's in survival modeconstantly, right?
And it's this where can you cutout five minutes for yourself?
Where can that turn into 20?
Can that be an hour?
You know, like where are you at?
And what can you say yes to foryour rest, for your
rejuvenation, right?

(20:39):
This is the time to letourselves be quiet.
And so she was telling um theclass about this class she takes
once a week.
I'm like, have you ever thoughtof just taking a nap instead of
going in?
Like, I I'm gonna, I'm gonnainvite that invitation of, you
know, you could if you have thatone hour a week or whatever it

(21:00):
may be, and your body is callingfor rest, take it however you
can.
Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00 (21:06):
Because this is where burnout comes from.
Exactly.
You know, a lot of times peoplearen't recognizing that they too
are in full burnout becausethey're not resting, they aren't
in alignment with what's goingon.
And so we have to listen.
Our body is highly intelligent,way more intelligent than our
thought process.
So we really have to listen towhat it has a say and what it's

(21:28):
speaking to us.
And and so if that doesn't comeinto our awareness, and then we
burn out and then we feel sickand we feel all this stuff is
going on, why is that happening?
Because we're not in any naturalflow, we're just going, going,
going, and yes, like puttingeveryone else's needs before our
own, which isn't that's notfilling us up either, and that's

(21:50):
not right.
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (21:51):
Yeah.
So where where are those placesand spaces that you're truly
resting?
And for me, it really is myafternoon nap sometimes.
Like, heck yeah, those are good.
I love it.
I love it.
There was a study that came outnot too long ago that showed
that you are less likely to haveheart attacks if you took a nap
every day.
And I was like, everyone shouldbe taking naps.

SPEAKER_01 (22:14):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (22:16):
You know, I'll uh like on a side note of listening
to our body.
So I have this bracelet thatI've been wearing.
It's a protective bracelet, andum, I'll show you.
And I've had it on for a while,I think it served its purpose
and it's done because I've beenhaving like this pain, and I'm
like, okay, where why is thathappening?

(22:36):
Why is this arm aching?
And right now it's like take thebracelet off, it's done.
Ooh.
And now I feel the energyopening up.

SPEAKER_03 (22:46):
Yeah.
Is that like well, and it goesto show like if we can take a
moment to quiet ourselves andlisten, our bodies are trying to
speak to us.

SPEAKER_00 (22:56):
Yes.
And I feel so much chills in mylike everything.
Oh, this is like actually, I'mgoing through it right now.
It's like taking off um like abondage, or it's like it done,
it did its job, it's done, itserved its purpose, and I'm
good.
I can go cleanse that andrelease it.
I'll probably go bury it laterin the ground.
Yes.

SPEAKER_03 (23:16):
Well, and I I love that example for all of our
listeners.
Like, notice, like, I remember Iwould get clients coming into
studio and they'd come in for aReiki session.
They were like, Do I need totake off all of my necklaces?
Like they would be wearing thesegiant crystals, right?
And like, yeah, but you need togive them all to me and let me
energetically clear them, right?

(23:36):
So they would be like, it feltlike five pounds of jewelry, and
I'm energetically clearing themoff, and then they would put
them on back on.
They were like, Oh my god, it'sso much lighter.

SPEAKER_00 (23:46):
Right?
Yes, because they're working,like they're working jewelry and
work.
The stones are doing their job,and yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_02 (23:55):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (23:56):
So it's like, where are we really done with the
cycle?
Like, I love that you mentionedthat, yeah, I'm gonna go clear
this and bury it.
Like there, like, I think Idon't think that too often
people recognize how powerfulthat action is of like, I'm
gonna take the thing and buryit.
When we're done with our moneybowls, let's not just throw it

(24:16):
out in the trash, let's go burythe content, yes, right?
Let's go bury the things, letthe earth compost it, whatever
is that was released in whateverceremonial objects that we're
using.
Can we go bury it?
And I just think that there areso many different places and
spaces where I find spiritualobjects in particular, like

(24:40):
they've done their job, they'rereally complete, and the best
thing that we can do with themis to give them back to the
earth.

SPEAKER_00 (24:46):
Yeah, yeah, a hundred percent.
And and noticing like how they,you know, I've had a few things
like where um my best friend whomoved from here to um Arkansas
the night, the her very lastnight here, I we she came over
and we were gonna do somereadings, and I pulled out my
selenite wand, and it wasliterally split in half, like

(25:09):
perfect cut.
And I was like, whoa.
So I gave her half and I tookhalf.
But see, it's like that thatshows up for us.
But some people who are like,oh, that's just a coincidence.
I don't believe in coincidence,I'm all about like what's
speaking to you and what's yoursynchronistic message on that.
Um, and so to me, it was like,yeah, we're always staying

(25:29):
connected.
You know, you have a piece ofone part and I have the other.
It's kind of like those old umheart necklaces.

SPEAKER_02 (25:36):
Yeah, the little best friend necklaces.

SPEAKER_00 (25:38):
Yeah.
Like you're my bestie for life.
Which I think we had that too.
Yeah.
But you know, it it's um justreally recognizing and coming
back to our topic of justnoticing what is speaking to you
around you.
And are you gonna use your innerwisdom to listen?

(26:01):
Or do you just bypass it?
Because I think a lot of timeswe're just bypassing our own
self and our own messages andnot stopping and saying, you
know what?
I'm because we hold on to thingsso tightly, and it really is.
It's and like release it, let itgo.
Whatever's meant to stay willstay.
Whatever's meant to happen isgonna happen.
It's holding on to it doesn'tmake it stronger, it actually

(26:24):
makes it weaker, it makes usweaker.

SPEAKER_03 (26:27):
Right.
Yeah, there's a bit of thatimagery of um burying yourself.
Like if you're really gonna gointo the earth, like I've done
shamanic journeys, and I know inmany different ancient uh
indigenous cultures, there islike a bearing of the body, like

(26:48):
we're going into our owninternal deaths, and then as you
come out of the earth, it's thisrebirth, like this very symbolic
process, ceremony.
And it's like whenenergetically, uh I love going
to the lower world andenergetically being like, I am
burying myself in the earth, andwhatever needs to be released to

(27:11):
the soil, like you can just feellayers coming off of you,
composting right around you.
You can feel the worms and allthe other insects that are
composting your body so that youcan be rebuilt again.
Yeah, right.
And that might sound reallyintense, and it is, it's not a
beginner's uh process, but thereis something really beautiful

(27:34):
about this complete surrender ofself to Mother Earth, to Gaia,
and say, take what no longerserves me, build me back in your
image and what is going to serveyou to the highest good, and let
the process happen.
Right.
And so, what part of winter arewe really actually surrendering

(27:57):
and letting go of that anxiousdesperation of not knowing if we
are going to have enough tosurvive the winter?
Can we trust that we've done allthat we needed to do in
preparation?
That we know, like we know, likewe know, that not only survival
is guaranteed, but thriving isguaranteed.

SPEAKER_00 (28:14):
Yes.
You know, at work, well, at thecenter where I'm at, it's
interesting because as we getinto these last three months,
there the the buzz talk aroundthere is like, okay, as it the
holidays are coming, as thewinter is coming, and all of
that, it actually gives uspractitioners like permission to
relax, like to tune intoourselves, to not be so busy and

(28:38):
know that it's okay if theclients don't, like if we're not
overly busy and all that.
It it literally gives people theokay and the permission to be
flexible to stay home if theywant to stay home.
Like we're not open if it'spouring rain out there, you
know, it's okay.
Like our gates shut.
Like, stay home, don't be on theroad.

(29:00):
And um, I really like thatbecause that the first couple of
years it was like to me, it waskind of like, well, you know,
but people need us when theyneed us.
But when I realized, no, this isan actual like time for us to
say, people stay home.
It's okay.
Like you can call us, we'rehere, there's distance work and
all of that, but we don't alwayshave to be in each other's space

(29:23):
like that.
Because I think that's part ofit too, is we have our
community, but sometimes we alsoneed to go do our individual
work.
And you can't do that if you'realways together.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (29:35):
Right.
Yeah.
Well, and I noticed too thatlike oftentimes things are, I
think this is a good segue intothe holidays are upon us.
Yeah.
And the request from so manyindividuals is to gather
together and gather together andgather together and recognizing

(29:57):
where you have energy for thatand where you don't.
And not saying yes to all of thethings.
Like in my spiritual community,I'm I'm part of a I'm I'm a
partner in the Bozeman SpiritualSociety and we have a collective
space and we try to do eventstogether.
And there was some chat aboutdoing some more events, and I

(30:18):
just started crying thismorning.
It's like, I just already feelso overwhelmed.
Like I can't take on any morethan that, what's already on my
plate.
And recognizing like, where arethe places and spaces that you
are saying there's a full bodyyes?
Yes, I want to do this.
And where is there, like no?

(30:42):
Where's where is that energetic?
I want to draw my energy backand pull inward because it's not
an alignment or not, or thatit's just there's just too much
of a request, right?
Like I love these people, I lovedoing things with them, I love
having potlooks with them, Ilove all the things, and I just
can't put any more into it atthis point in time.

SPEAKER_00 (31:04):
And does it all fall on you to do?
Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 (31:08):
No, not at all.

SPEAKER_00 (31:08):
It's just for you just to show up, just for me to
show up.

SPEAKER_03 (31:12):
Like I, you know, I often am the one to make like
the Facebook events and thingsfor that group.
And it's like, it doesn't haveto be that way.
Why can't everyone make theirown individual events?
Like it shouldn't, it doesn'tneed to be this way.
Yes.
Um, but yeah, it's it's very uhrecognizing where in my life do

(31:33):
I is it really a full like, yes,I want to, I want to do this,
let's say, winter solsticeevent, or I want to do this new
moon circle, or whatever I wantto put my energy into.
And where does it feel likemaybe that's not maybe that's
not the thing at this season?
Maybe this isn't the thing thatI want to be doing right now.

(31:54):
And recognizing there's somewisdom in your your body is
trying to tell you where it'sokay to pull back and to rest
in.

SPEAKER_00 (32:02):
Yeah, yeah.
And then maybe that's therevamping of it at you know, at
the beginning of the year, tosay, okay, you know what?
I mean, you say your no's nowwhere you need to, but then you
can come back to the drawingboard and say, maybe we can
restructure this because yeah,it's a lot of work to do for
however many people, you know,when everyone can create their

(32:23):
own.
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (32:25):
Yeah, so it's just kind of like a very interesting
recognition of our what are wedoing and why are we doing it?
You know, and where are weallowing ourselves to have
enough space of nose in our lifeso that we have a blank slate?
We have a spirit of surrender sothat we can let the divine

(32:46):
inspiration into our world.
Right?
If we fill up our calendar somuch, where can divine
inspiration show up and be like,this is what I want you to be
doing?
This is the calling, this iswhat's here for you.
And if there are so many people,myself included, I have a real
history of like filling up thecalendar and making sure it's

(33:06):
really full all of the time whenthere needs to be blank space,
there needs to be that rest,there needs to be that
integration of all of thelessons from the previous
season.
And where are we creatingsilence and quiet to allow new
inspiration to come through?

SPEAKER_00 (33:27):
Yeah, and that is really important to be able to
have that empty space that notso because you know space is
never empty, but to be able tohave that time within yourself
to integrate all the things andto so you can receive the
messages within yourself, so youcan connect with your guides, so
you can walk a differentjourney, and sometimes that's

(33:48):
what we need to do.
Doesn't mean everything has toshift, it means something
shifts, and that one shift thenhas like that repeating, you
know, everything kind of shiftswith it, but in the highest good
for yourself, not just like I'mcutting it all out, but it's
like what can we readjust hereto create space for more growth?

(34:08):
Yeah, really, because it's it isall about growing, it's not like
we don't want to, you know,totally take ourselves out, and
that's not what we're talkingabout.
But where can our growth edgebe?
Where is it?
Where's that moment?

SPEAKER_03 (34:22):
Oh my god, I love that.
I love like in that edge.
I feel like I'm always towingthat line of like, where is it
now?
Like, as you were speaking, Iwas thinking, like, oh, silent
retreat would be amazing thistime of year, right?
Oh, that would be, huh?
Right.
Well, and it I what I like, Ithe vision that came to me was
like it's not a sit still and besilent, it's a move and be

(34:46):
silent.
Like, how can we move our bodieswith dance and these different
activating actions that weoffer, but it's all in silence.
And then you have thesejournaling and this time for to
draw your oracle cards and likeand have a Reiki share where
literally there is no words,we're just sharing energy, you

(35:07):
know.
Like, I can see that like Iyeah, it's just like as I'm
talking about we need to createspace for inspiration.
I'm like, oh, that would be socool.
I'd love to do that.

SPEAKER_00 (35:16):
As you're you're sharing that, I'm thinking, I
got new moon tomorrow.
I might be like implementingsome of that, you know.
I've actually been inimplementing um moments of
silence and integration after anattunement.
Like we're just in silencebecause I'll do like a group
attunement, right?
And those who are very chatty inthe head want to pop up.

(35:39):
I'm like, no, we're we're inintegration.
After a sound bath, you know,take your time.
Don't just pop up off the matand you know, like, no,
integrate this energy.
And us as the facilitators,we're not gonna have a lot to
say to you.
We're gonna be closing ourcircle.
We're gonna ask you how you'redoing, if there's some shares.

(36:01):
Other than that, the lightsaren't coming on.
We're very like intentional ofhow it is, but it didn't start
like that.
And it's like you start to watchhow do people react when they
integrated versus the ones thatpop up and go, right?
And you see the ones who pop upand go have a really hard time
sitting with themselves.
Right.
Yeah.

(36:22):
Yeah.
So it's having those moments asfacilitators to say this is the
moment just to be, and it'sokay.

SPEAKER_03 (36:28):
Yeah, yeah.
We um our class and intro toTantra masterclass last week, we
did a breath work practice, avery intense 15-minute
breathwork practice.
And then we and then we took 10minutes of silence, 10 minutes
of rest, 10 minutes of notalking.
And it's amazing what happenswhen you're in a vigorous

(36:52):
breathwork practice, and thenyou allow your body to shift in
the moments afterwards.
It's like you shake everythingup and everything gets jostled.
Anything that's ready to liftoff of your body emotionally,
physically, spiritually isavailable.
Like it's it's all at thesurface.
And then you just lie down andyou witness yourself in am I

(37:17):
having visions?
Am I connecting with source?
Am I feeling the tinglesensations in my body?
How is the energy moving?
And what's settling back in?
What is a yes for me in thesilence of integration?
It's so yummy, so juicy.

SPEAKER_00 (37:37):
It is so yummy.
And I would love it for peopleto let us know if you're gonna
actually take a moment ofsilence for yourself, you know,
like let us know in thecommunity.
Like, if you do that foryourself, let us know here in
the chat.
Like, do you give yourselfenough time to integrate your
thoughts, your emotions, theprojects that you're working on,

(37:58):
right?
Like, do you release or walkaway from certain relationships
or situations and then you justjump onto the next thing?
Or do you give yourself thattime?
You know, and I think thatintegration is such an important
energetic, like it brings itre-wraps everything up.
I feel like, you know, it's likethat that full package.

(38:20):
If we don't integrate, we kindof is like you're leaving the
bow off of the all the work orsomething, you know, like you're
leaving you just got a box, likewrap it up, make it pretty, it's
all good.
And I feel like that's whatintegration does for us.
Because that's where like themeat of like the real juicy part
of what we just did is allabout, because that is where
those messages come in, thoselittle nudges within ourselves.

(38:43):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (38:45):
So it's an invitation of like, do you have
space in your home, thatsanctuary space that you can
create for yourself andrecognize as I sit here, if I
can and in giving myselfpermission to take my moment of
stillness, a moment of silence.
Yeah.
Right.
And how often are you going tothat place?

SPEAKER_00 (39:06):
Yes, we need to go to that place all the time
because even our altars, they'reliving altars.
We have to work with them.
You know, we have to go to themand sit with them and and move
things around and bring in newenergy.
And like you were saying, themoney bowls, like they don't
last all year.
Like the energy, you gotta keepthem alive and and change out
their like the rice and theherbs and everything, at least

(39:30):
every season, you know, if notmonthly.
I mean, I don't change minemonthly, but I do each season.
Um and you know they talk toyou.
Like when I walk past them, kindof like the bracelet, like,
hello, you're ignoring us.
How are we gonna createabundance if you're not putting
the energy here?
And so it is important.

(39:52):
Um, I've had a lot of guidanceto pick up a project lately, and
it it became more, and I'm I'mcreating this journal for my
level ones, and and so and I'malmost done with it, but man, it
became a bigger project than Ithought.
And now I'm like, okay, so but Ifeel in the parts because I'm

(40:13):
taking it one piece at a time.
So as one part's opening up, I'mletting that energy integrate.
I'm doing what I need to dothere.
So I can take in the other andshift that energy because it is
three parts.
So um, yeah, it's just I'mredoing all of them, I'm doing
redoing a lot of my stuff, whichI've needed to for a long time.

SPEAKER_03 (40:32):
Some leaders might be writing a book and don't even
know it.

SPEAKER_00 (40:36):
Yeah, kind of, I think.
I'm um well, I'm redoing all ofmy level manuals and um which
I've needed to.
And so with that, I'm pro I'm umcreating like the support system
of the 21 days and you know,that kind of thing.
And so there's yeah, it is kindof writing a book without

(40:59):
knowing it, but it's it'sinteresting because it wasn't
something I had planned, it wassomething I woke up to, right?
And you need to go do that.
Okay.
And then I'm doing it, and I'mlike, this is way bigger than I
thought.

SPEAKER_03 (41:12):
Like, yeah, I'm feeling that for sure.

SPEAKER_00 (41:17):
So I just feel like my guides are up there and
non-body, like, just create.
And I'm like, okay, here in thephysical world, you know, you
can't just whip something outlike that.
You gotta put time in it everyday.
And so yeah, I find that veryinteresting.

SPEAKER_03 (41:35):
Right.
And I and I'm it's I'm curiousabout writing projects for a
winner, you know.
Like, I think this is a reallygreat time to do writing
projects.
I know, and maybe our ourfollowers have noticed, but I'm
doing a lot more writing, I'moffering a lot more writing
pieces than I have in the past.
And I feel like there's thisdefinite call for me to share

(41:59):
more intimately and vulnerablyand uh and and actually put it
in written material.
And I've always thought that,you know, I'm not a writer, like
I don't feel like I'm a writer.
I might be a storyteller, butI'm not, I'm I don't necessarily
like to write.
It takes quite a bit of effortfor me to feel comfortable with

(42:20):
a piece.
And doing these little blogs orthese little posts, like, is
just the starting of like megetting comfortable because I
know a bigger something iscoming.
And I'm like, okay, if I canjust do this a couple of times a
week, I'm gonna I'm working myway through that um internal

(42:41):
story that I just have writer'sblock or I'm not good at this or
whatever it is.
So uh yeah.
So thanks to all of ourlisteners out there watching the
right written material thatwe're putting out here at
Moonrising as well.

SPEAKER_00 (42:53):
Yeah, I think um it's that writing archetype
that's coming alive, you know,and you and and when we don't
feel like, okay, I'm not awriter, well, yeah, but if it's
being imprinted on you, there'ssomething that's meant to come
forward, and that's where we'retalking like that surrender and
that integration and theunderstanding of going within.

(43:16):
Do we fight that fight?
Like, no, I'm not a writer.
Or can we allow thevulnerability to come through
and the words to come out?
You know, I used to write a lot,and then when I kind of shut
down my own like personalFacebook page and everything,
um, because in the beginning,when I really started this work,

(43:36):
I was always like, but it didn'tat the time, it wasn't in sync
with the people that I wasfriends with on there.
You know what I mean?
I needed a new group, a newfollowing that I can.
And now I feel like I'm in thatplace where I can be vulnerable.
I can say what I and peopleunderstand.

(43:57):
They're not coming at me like,what are you talking about?
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (44:01):
Yeah, you've been in your own energy solidly for a
long, like a long enough periodof time where you're no longer
getting the pushback from fromyour previous, you know, past
relationships, you know?
Like it's really interestingwhen you find yourself
continuously saying yes to beingof service of the divine.

(44:23):
The more I say yes, the more Ilean in, the more guidance I
receive, the more I find myselfand people who are ready to be
receptive to it.

SPEAKER_00 (44:32):
Yes, that is the full alignment.
That is the alignment, right?
And that's where I'm like thepushback before was because they
weren't in alignment, they justweren't where I was.
Now they might be on some level,you know, more awake and open
now.
Um, I don't know, but in themoment they weren't, and so it

(44:54):
was very interesting.
And so it was just like, okay,well, this isn't the platform
for that.
And so when you create a newplatform and that alignment
comes forward, man, that feelsso good.
It does.
Because you really feel like youcan you can show up and be fully
authentic.

SPEAKER_03 (45:11):
Well, and I think too, it's like that's there's an
invitation for others to do thesame.

SPEAKER_01 (45:15):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (45:16):
And in doing so, it's like watching communities
also awaken to their ownalignment.
And I feel like I'm in a bit oflike, all right, Bozeman, come
on, like you can do it.
Um I feel like we're slowlygetting there, but like I also
see your community and see whereyou were two years ago, right?

(45:40):
Like, I feel like you um youkept showing up, you kept doing
the things, and now yourcommunity is a full yes in that
growth phase.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (45:50):
And it does.
It takes, you know, what I'verecognized, two to three years,
and not just for work, foranything.
You know, people who move whotransplant from one state to
another, they go through thisgrowth spurt for about two to
three years before they feelhome.
Like they're at home, you know.
And so just witnessing that andother people's growth and their
transitions, I'm like, oh, itdoes.

(46:12):
It's kind of like that three-dayenergy, right?
Well, now we're just stretchingit out.
It's three months, it's threeyears, you know, kind of thing.
Um, so we can expect things.
Like some things can be reallyfast energy, but most of it
isn't.
It's more slow and steady, andyou're building up.
And it's the universe askingyou, are you gonna show up for
this or not?

unknown (46:32):
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (46:32):
Or are you just gonna fall flat because you know
it's been too many months out,or it's a lot of work.
Because if you actually show up,it's going to show up for you.

SPEAKER_03 (46:42):
Right.
Uh so yummy.
And so it can be, and it's hard,you know, to keep pulling
ourselves back from the fear,keep pulling ourselves back from
being afraid of the darkness andwhat might bubble to the
surface, right?
You know, and so there's thatinvitation of the season two of
like, we're going into the dark,and as we enter into the dark,

(47:06):
we pass through that journeyinto the darkness, it's like,
where are those fears arising?
And where are we ready to say,I'm no longer allowing this to
control who I am and how I showup in the world, right?
How can the darkness be yourteacher?

SPEAKER_00 (47:24):
Mm-hmm.
And this is the season of theteacher, actually, in the
archetype realm.
This is the season of theteacher.
Our shadow self is what you'rebasically talking about is we're
going into the dark ofourselves, into our shadow work.
And, you know, so a lot ofpeople I think they avoid, they
don't want that.
But yes, the teacher is showingup because we have to learn

(47:46):
about ourselves.
Ultimately, that's what we'rehere for, is to be learning
about ourselves or what we'regoing through.
And are we going to learn thoselessons from the whole year?
So there are there's a lot toit.
But I loved all that.
Yes, we are the shadow of self,right?

SPEAKER_03 (48:03):
Well, and and sometimes if you're just
starting your spiritual work,just starting your spiritual
journey, and there's that fearthat arrives, recognizing that
within yourself, it's okay togather your strength as your
inner warrior.
Like fight your demons ifthey're showing up as demons.
Let like recognizing that thatplace in your space that I you

(48:25):
are sovereign.
You are you have the internalpower to push back your internal
darkness.
And then as you move throughthat process, you can then allow
the darkness to come in one at atime and see it as the shadow
that an aspect of yourself thatyou can love on more fully.
But I often see it where youhave to go through this
patterning of, I gotta fuckinggear up.

(48:48):
I gotta be all of who I am.
I've got to find my strength andcourage to fight the demons, all
of that pressure of, and becausea lot of people have are
seasonally affected bydepression and anxiety and all
these things, of like, how canyou gather your strength and
call on your heavy lifters?
I cannot stress this enough.
Call on your guides, call onArchangel Michael, call on

(49:12):
Shiva, whoever it is for you.
I don't care who it is, but ifyou give an entity that's
greater than yourself theencouragement and welcoming to
come fight on your behalf,you're creating this space
around you to know that you'resafe in it.
Right.

(49:32):
And when you have your guides,your spirit team around you,
that you can feel safe in thedarkness, then you can start
looking at the shadow.
So it doesn't always have to bethis.
I think that there's um a lot ofpeople who are just seeing
demons, like you know what Imean.
Like it's our internal demons,it's the things that are are are

(49:54):
pressing in so hard that how canI get out?
How can I how can I escape it?

SPEAKER_01 (50:00):
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (50:01):
And so when we actually recognize I need help,
I need support, and that is sohard just to get to that point
of going, I am worthy to ask forsupport, whether it's physical.
Hey, I need a mentor, I need asession, or I need to call on

(50:22):
this guy, this archangel, thiswhoever, and then then you feel
the energy and power with you,then you can then you really
feel solid and secure, and yourability to surrender and let go.
Yeah, right, yes, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 (50:40):
It's a process, it is, and it and then it gives us
it is possible, absolutely.
Um, and we're proof of that.
We're we're testimonies of that,you know, because we I mean, I
know in myself starting thisjourney journey journey, I was
very much in my shadow.
There was a lot of shadow work Ihad to go through, and and going

(51:01):
through that now with andlooking back on that, is there
still stuff that pops up?
Of course, there's always gonnabe those layers, but the depth
of it has been healed in a lotof ways because I I didn't shy
away from it, I didn't let thatfear get a hold of me and say,
No, you know, I can't do this.
I actually walked, I faced it.

(51:22):
And that is like the power ofeven tuning into like where are
we energetically, where are welike in our frequency of our
chakras?
Like, because as you're movingfrom root up, the root carries
so much, you know, it carries somuch of our shadow self and and
moving forward and to each oneof them and unpacking that.

(51:43):
It's important to do the work.
And if you don't, that's wherewe become like the naysayers,
and this doesn't work, and thatdoesn't work, and who wants to
do that kind of stuff?
Well, yeah, because you don'twant to face yourself.
Well, you don't you and youdon't face you, who can you
face?

SPEAKER_03 (52:01):
Right, right.
It's that wanting to stay inyour comfort zone, and not and
if you stay in your comfortzone, you can't ever grow, you
can't ever meet your growthedges, right?
I am like as much as I desire abreak sometimes, just have my
comfort zone of the warmblankets and the hot cup of soup

(52:23):
or whatever.
There's also this, and I thinkthis is just innately who I am,
and I love being around otherpeople who also have this in
their nature of I desireconsistent growth.
I'm always trying to find wheream I, what does this, what does
this conversation reflect ofabout who I am?
Is that alignment with me?

(52:44):
What what what are they?
What am I listening to?
How can I um grow in that or trysomething new?
Or where is it really outside mycomfort zone?
And what does that mean?
If this is really outside mycomfort zone, what does that
mean?
And some things you should justleave the fuck alone, right?
They're just right, it's not redflags, just let that go.

(53:08):
Right.
And so it's not that we need toto always um be on that line or
cross that line into ourtriggers and traumas and all
this stuff.
That's not what we're saying.
It's recognizing what in you isready to say, I am ready for
alignment, I'm ready for love,I'm ready for self-acceptance, I

(53:29):
am ready to be all that I am,and recognizing what is my yes
and what's my no.
Right.
And so it's how can we make moreyeses in our life that are
calmly said yes to?

SPEAKER_00 (53:43):
Yeah, that feels like flow versus a challenge.
Because if you feel challengedwhen you're saying yes, that
typically means that's rightthere, that's a warning to self.
This isn't in alignment with meright now for whatever reason.
In natural mysticism, we call itthat stretch and challenge.
And so I always see that that'sthat rubber band.
You're being pulled taut, you'rebeing pulled back to be able to

(54:05):
project forward.
But in that stretch, you're allabout seeing the different
stages of yourself.
Like you're talking about likegetting each shadow, and you're
doing it in phases, not like allat once, because it would be too
much, right?
Too much.
So it is taking it one step at atime.
It's giving yourself permissionto be open to it and at the same

(54:27):
time rest from it.
Doesn't mean you're full-fledgedwith it.
Sometimes you can you can do itin parts, it doesn't have to be
all I'm in shadow for the nexthowever many months.
Nope.
Tell your guides too.
I need a break.
It's I need to slow downcommunicate, slow it down.
Yes.
Yeah, I'm only available duringthis time.

SPEAKER_03 (54:46):
Right.
And giving it that time.
I think that's why a lot ofpeople fill in their calendar so
much because they don't want togive any of it any time.
If they know that if they getquiet, so much stuff is going to
be rushing forward.
And this is the differencebetween battling your demons and
doing shadow work, right?
But it's that overwhelmingpressure of everything coming at
you at once feels like now I'mfighting demons versus I know I

(55:09):
have created a safe space.
I have my a container formyself, I have a time frame, I
know what my boundaries are, Ihave my spirit team with me, I
have a ritual in place, I havethese things so that as things
come to the surface, they'regonna bubble up slowly and not
all at once.

SPEAKER_00 (55:26):
And I think you have your whole toolbox ready and
prepared to do the work.
Right.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (55:32):
And that's why I love Soul Rising so much, is
because that's what we're doing.
We're like, let's take it onebaby step at a time.
You know, it's like people comein and they're like, I have all
of these walls that I need tobreak down.
And it's like, well, it's yourchoice if you want to take a
bulldozer and knock over thewhole wall, or if you want to
take a brick off at a time.

SPEAKER_01 (55:53):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (55:54):
And what's gonna be most in alignment and beneficial
for you.
And you have the free will todecide how you're going to
handle your wall, if that's theimagery and metaphor you want to
use.
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (56:07):
Yeah.
It's so important.
And with soul rising, with youknow, the masterclasses that we
offer here, with our ownpersonal journeys that we do, it
really is how do you want to hitthat wall?
How do you want to embrace it?
Is it one brick at a time?
Is it the whole wall?
Are you taking half of it downso you can see above the, you
know, above the wall, get somenew vision?

(56:29):
However, we want to embrace it,it's really up to us.
And nobody can do it for us.
We all have to do it forourselves, but you can do it
within a safe container, and youcan do it with creating your
own, um, like we were talkingabout, setting everything up,
asking for the support.
It's all good.
Right.
But we have to start somewhere,otherwise, it really can chew

(56:51):
you up.
Right.
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (56:53):
And I think that's where it's like, please keep in
mind it is okay to ask for help.
Like if you need mentorship, ifyou need to get jump on a call
and figure out what programs tobe offer that might be in
alignment for you, like knowthat there are is support out
there and going which whichroute is going to be best for

(57:13):
you.
Like, I currently have umclients that are like, I'm doing
this for me, myself, and I.
I don't want to be a part of agroup experience.
And I'm like, cool, right?
Like, if that's where you're atand you know that you want to
take the time to go thatapproach, I'm all for it.
I love those types of clients.
And I absolutely love our groupprograms and I love doing

(57:34):
one-off sessions.
Like, I love all of it because Ifeel like it's a place and space
that I hold well, right?
Like I love holding containersfor others to find their place
of alignment.
What needs to be shed, whatneeds to be let go of?
How do we want to get there?
We have so many tools andtechniques to help you get into

(57:56):
that flow state.
And is it a one and donesession?
Maybe.
Does it take 10?
Maybe.
Does it take a year?
Maybe.
Like there's no, there's noblack and white rule.
And those that pitch that outthere in the world, like, here's
your five steps to spiritualenlightenment.

SPEAKER_00 (58:14):
I call bullshit.
I'm calling bullshit.
I call bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 (58:21):
There is no cookie cutter anything.
No, there's not.
Everyone's path is going to beuniquely yours.
And we want to support you infinding whatever path that looks
like for you and supporting youthrough it.
And I think that's why I justlove, love, love what we do and
how we do it here because wegive permission to our students.

(58:41):
It's like, if you want to callon Jesus, call on Jesus.
Like, go for it.
If that fills you up, awesome.
You want to go to a Buddhisttemple and meditate once a week,
awesome.
Do that.
If you want, like, we have somuch permission included in how
we offer things at Moon Rising,that it's like, here's some more
tools.

(59:02):
Use the ones that feel good toyou.
There is no cookie cutter.
You have to do it this way.

SPEAKER_00 (59:08):
Yes.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (59:10):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (59:11):
And so as we're wrapping it up, like also just
as a gentle reminder, as you'removing further into fall, more
into winter, give yourself thatbreak.
Go ahead and go within your owninternal den, your own internal
cave, and ask yourself, what doI need now that's gonna help

(59:31):
serve me?
That's it.

SPEAKER_02 (59:33):
Embrace it, embody it.
Every day.
What can I do today?
What can I say yes to?

SPEAKER_03 (59:39):
Yeah, just for today, right?

SPEAKER_02 (59:41):
Just for today.

SPEAKER_03 (59:42):
We love that you show up.
We love that you're doing thework.
We love that you consistentlylisten and be available for
what's in alignment for you.
So thank you all for listeningso much.
