It's Vanessa, and welcome to a new conversation on energy. This one is going
to be about the Ascension Apothecary.
And in it, I'll be covering a bit about what Ascension is, what Ascension symptoms
might look like, why have an apothecary, what my apothecary looks like.
I'll give you some specific examples and then give you some suggestions on what
(00:33):
to put in your apothecary for your own home kit and well-being.

But if you're hearing it on or before, why not kick it off when we begin and all start together?
This program is really designed to help you navigate life energetically.
(01:41):
There is a higher purpose for your energy sensitivity, and there is Because
there is so much shifting from that energetic landscape perspective that it
is highly essential to get tuned into.
This is really the basis for all of the sharings that I do on energy because
(02:02):
this is a time when you are meant to be aligning your purpose in this paradigm shift.
You're here on the planet for a reason right now at this time,
there's something specific.
And a specific kind of energy that you are meant to bring to it.
And when we navigate life energetically and you begin to live by your energy
(02:25):
gifts, it's a whole different game, right?
And so there's so many things I could say about the program,
but simply just go to vasmith.com slash energy dash guide, and you'll see all the details there.

And you'll know in your system. And if it is for you, I'll see you in there.
If it's not for you, please do share it with your people that it might be a good fit for.
All right, let's get into the details of this big, big topic.
(03:07):
Any of the categories that I mentioned could in and of themselves be a.
They could be a whole recording also.
So I'm going to try and keep it brief as we move through each of those questions
that I posed at the beginning.
The first thing I want to say though, has to do with why I felt so compelled
(03:29):
to talk about this topic.
And there's three reasons.
The first one is, as you might know, if you've been watching any of my more
recent recordings, I'm at the tail end of, you could call it a cold,
but I know it's an upgrade.
And it's lasted about three weeks for me. I'm still in it.
(03:49):
It's just each day it kind of evolves into a
new a new type of clearing in my
system and in i think
it was the may energy read i shared a bit
about the difference between knowing how do
you know if it's a cold versus an energy upgrade so do check that that recording
(04:11):
out it's on my channel it's the may energy read easy to find so i'm very this
is very top of mind for me the ascension apothecary because Because I am deep in it,
deeply committed to, you know, using my own apothecary to uplift and my own energy.
The second reason I wanted to share this with you is because there's a lot of
(04:35):
energy affecting us right now for many different reasons, right?
Whether it's the solar flares that are going on or the transformation that's
happening for you personally, or, you know, the old systems and structures that
are breaking down there.
I mean, it's like, there's a lot of different energy shifts happening right now.
(04:56):
And it's a very unique time. I mean, back in the day, even five,
10 years ago, we had to really reach for our transformation.
You know, it's like we'd either wait until we got very uncomfortable and then
we'd have to change because we just couldn't take the discomfort anymore.
Or we'd have to have a really strong desire to change because we're very habitual
(05:18):
type of creatures, right?
We operate either rote or unconsciously and don't even realize it.
But that's not how it's playing out anymore, right?
The way that energy is moving is the upgrades, the transformations,
the breakdowns and the breakthroughs, they're happening, whether you sign on for them or not, right?
(05:39):
Like we're already on the roller coaster, like you're already on the ride.
And this is part of the
larger collective you know planetary experience
that we're having right now and so having an
apothecary can really stabilize and strengthen your system so you can ride those
(06:02):
waves a little more ease and grace and the third reason i really wanted to talk
about this is and And this is a theme that I always hold very near and dear to my heart,
but it is coming up in a much louder way.
And I think I may create a separate recording on it.
(06:22):
And that is, you are here for a reason on the planet at this time.
I'm going to say that again. You're here for a reason on the planet at this time.
And that is you have a very specific energetic contribution to make.
And I know a lot of times we can put perhaps pressure on ourselves or freak
(06:43):
out because we don't have the specifics of what that looks like or what kind
of legacy we want to leave or is our purpose a job or we can get caught up in all of that.
But from a very base level, and I'm talking specifically to those in my soul crew, right?
So we incarnate in groups. We're part of a team.
I know whether you feel like a lone wolf or like you're isolated in some way, you're not.
(07:08):
You have way more support than you realize energetically, spiritually,
and on the physical plane of reality because your soul group is actually here
also doing their own thing, you know?
And this is a time where we're meant to be reconnecting with them. And...
That's a little side note on the soul group. I've made some previous shares
on soul groups before I can link them in the description box below.
(07:32):
But essentially, you're here to contribute energetically.
And when your energy is kind of fragmented or all over the place,
or you're stuck, or you're on loop, or whatever it is, when you're operating
in the lower frequency version of yourself, an old version of yourself,
you're not doing what you're here to do. And for my soul crew.
(07:55):
It's important. I remember being five years old and was like,
I know I'm here for a reason. I just got to figure out what it is.
And that's something that's, I want to say like a call or a draw.
It's just wired into who we are.
Not everybody is wired like that. It took me a long time to realize that.
(08:16):
I still have to remind myself like, wait, not everybody thinks like No,
not everybody thinks like this.
Some people are just here to like, to enjoy the show or, you know,
like to, there's many different reasons why we incarnate.
But my group is here because we're here to be part of the change,
right? We're here to shift the paradigm.
(08:36):
We're here to intentionally build, bridge, create the new. and so it's important that we stay on task.
And the more that we can utilize our apothecaries, the better we're able to
be on purpose with our purpose.
And so those are the reasons why I really wanted to speak about the apothecary,
(09:01):
the ascension apothecary.
So let's talk briefly, super briefly about ascension.
Ascension is, I'm going to categorize it in three different ways.
And again, I could go into so many details, but I'm going to refrain and try and keep it brief here.
Number one, it's a rise in frequency. The frequency is rising rapidly.
(09:25):
Across the board, right? It's not just one individual person.
It's not even just the collective. It's quite literally a planetary experience.
And so meaning we're all on earth, we're all experiencing the rise in frequency.
And there's a number of different, we'll talk about the symptoms or the expressions
of ascension in a moment.
(09:45):
But that's one way that you can define ascension as a rise in frequency.
Second way is it's an expansion of consciousness. And what that translates to
is we begin to become aware and understand our reality and what it means to
be human in brand new ways, right?
Our perspective completely changes.
(10:07):
And when that changes, we begin to see our role in all of it in a much more
honestly realistic way than we currently do. Like we're not meant to be slaves to the system.
We're meant to be the co-creators of the system.
So that's the second way. It's an expansion of consciousness.
(10:27):
And then the third way that I'm, there's more than three, but I'm just going
to try and like, again, keep it brief. The third way is that there's a shift
happening in our energetic system.
So, yes, we have physical systems, right?
Our physical body, obviously, our lymph system, our organ system,
(10:48):
our muscular system. We have all of these different systems.
We also have that from an energetic perspective as well. We have many different
energy systems and our energy systems are currently in flux.
They are changing right now. And so the way that you may, the sensations and the perception.
The way you perceive reality is going to shift because your energy systems are changing.
(11:11):
The way that you digest life is changing.
The way that you express life is changing, right? This is all a part of the
ascension. It's not something that's coming.
It's literally something we're in the middle of. The paradigm shift isn't something that's coming.
It's something that we are in the middle of. And so we need to be actively like
(11:33):
working with these energies, especially those of us, again, that are in my soul
crew that are here to be the change, that are here to shift the paradigm.
And just shout out the transformational healers, teachers and messengers,
because that is, and the energy sensitives and intuitives, right?
Those are like my two main people.
(11:53):
Well, I'm the creatives as well. I don't know if I could go on, actually.
I know who my people are, and I have great love and reverence for the energy
that they're bringing to the planet at this time.
So if that's you, raise your hand in the comments.
So let's move on to some common ascension symptoms.
(12:15):
So like I mentioned, you're going to be experiencing reality differently In
terms of sensation, in terms of perception.
So you may experience a variety of different physical shifts.
And what that could look like, some of the common ascension symptoms actually
are like a ringing in the ears, so tinnitus.
(12:37):
You might feel stretched or compressed
in some way physically right so you
feel like your system is being stretched out it's because
energetically it's literally being stretched out right now you also might be
feel compressed like there's a part of somewhere on your body that feels like
it's getting more compressed right now it's energetically happening so if you're
(13:01):
experiencing that there's nothing wrong with you,
but there are things that you can do to support yourself in this experience.
And psychologically, there could be a big polarity swing.
This is a very common ascension symptom where you feel like all of a sudden
enmeshed in an old version of you or an old way of thinking.
(13:22):
And you're like, where did that come from?
Why am I thinking that's not who I am anymore?
What just happened? And then the polarity swing to the other side where you
feel like really some distance, some neutrality, some great clarity.
Yeah, just very objective. Like, oh, wow.
(13:44):
Yeah, I feel complete with that. Right? So there's polarity swings are very ascension symptoms.
And then the last example I want to share with you is more of a spiritual symptom or expression.
It's the dark night of the soul. oh, I feel like I want to do a little dance
with that. The dark night of the soul sounds so like intense.
And it can be very, very intense for us. But essentially, it's you questioning
(14:07):
the nature of reality, which sounds like, oh, yeah, just that. Yes.
Which can be incredibly intense, incredibly profound, incredibly humbling,
but also really simplifying, right?
Like you realize like, oh, wow, that was me that was making the big deal around
this, this, this and this. And oh, wow, I allowed this to happen?
(14:29):
Like, that person being a dickhead to me wasn't their problem.
It was actually mine, because I chose to not create a boundary there.
Okay, yeah, no, clear on that now.
So there's just a lot of clarity that drops in for us that's under the umbrella
of dark night of the soul, where we really have these awakening kind of moments
(14:49):
that are very stark, very obvious.
But when you're in it, it doesn't feel very obvious. It usually feels more obvious on the other side of it.
So those are some common ascension symptoms just to normalize the conversation
around like, is this normal? Is this?
Yeah, I think it is. So I shared with you a little bit already around why have
(15:13):
an ascension apothecary, but I want to just break down a couple of different reasons.
One, again, it strengthens and stabilizes your system. Okay.
Two, it helps you choose to rise in frequency.
So the rise in frequency is happening no matter what. You're on the ride already.
But the way that we respond to the rise in frequency is all up to us.
(15:37):
We could contract and resist and, you know, flip it off and,
you know, choose to stay in a lower frequency, choose to distract,
choose to addict, choose to, you know, whatever we might do.
That expresses a more lower frequency, or we can choose to rise.
And when you work with your apothecary, they're basically tools that help you
(16:02):
rise, that help you really be in that upgraded.
That spiritual identity upgrade, that new version of you that is emerging.
And it's emerging whether you allow it to or not.
It's emerging whether you cultivate it or not. And it's just a matter of how
much you're, you know, like going to battle with the emergence of what is already happening.
(16:28):
And so, but the apothecary can help you choose to rise in frequency.
I also mentioned it helps you feel better. Always A plus in my book.
I personally love feeling better. I've had Had to, I would say,
internally work pretty hard to drop my perfection pictures around vitality and optimal health.
(16:53):
Like right now, I'm still at this tail end of this cold.
I don't feel 100%. I may not look 100%, but I don't care anymore.
I mean, not that I don't care, but I'm not attached to what's the correct language.
Language i am more interested in
(17:14):
allowing the energy to move
through me as it it
feels like it's meant to move through me in the moment i'm
more invested in being whatever the optimal version of myself in this moment
looks like and that might not look like my idealized version It might look like
(17:37):
still having a bit of a nasally,
you know, because I still feel, you know, kind of sick right now.
And being wobbly just might be part of these times and it's okay.
And so there's a lot of grace that I'm learning to give myself in my not perfect
expression of vitality right now, according to my ego's perspective, at least. Yeah.
(18:03):
Two last reasons I want to share with you about having an Ascension Apothecary
is it helps you embody and express your potential.
Like you really become this vessel for the way, for how the divine wants to
move through you, right?
We're all creatively, uniquely designed, God experiencing itself in human form.
And what would that be like to embody and express the potential of that?
(18:28):
That potential always exists within you and we get to choose whether we're going
to let it out, let the light out, let the light through us. Do we choose that?
And when you work with an apothecary, it helps you level up.
It helps you be able to choose that. And then the last reason is I love having
an apothecary and highly recommend one specifically around Ascension is it helps
(18:54):
you do what you're here to do and be who you're here to be.
So this isn't just about potential, but it's also about because that feels good, right?
Being in your potential, you're like, yeah, that's good. But this is about contribution.
For me, that's important, right? Like I, it's important to make an impact collectively.
And I know that's a big part of the reason why I'm here, why that's my assignment.
(19:17):
And of course, I have my daily life, my personal life, which is important to me as well.
But the collective contribution is, yeah, it's a key theme for me.
And I'd love to hear if it's a key theme for you as well. So share in the comments.
And so, yeah, working with your apothecary helps you contribute,
(19:39):
helps you to actually make that contribution that you're here to make.
So I want to share just a couple of pieces from my apothecary.
I could make, and I think perhaps it might be a future direction for me to make
a lot lot of videos around and sharings around what's in my personal apothecary
(20:00):
because I have a lot of things in there.
So I wanted to choose some things that were especially relevant for Ascension.
So first thing I'm going to share with you is, let's see, I'm looking around.
I've got all sorts of things down here.
First thing I'm actually going to share is this. So with Ascension, there's a lot.
(20:22):
You can often feel ungrounded. You can often feel like your energy is being
pulled in many different directions.
So I find anything that you can do to help ground yourself is really,
really helpful. Here's one.
I love it. This is black tourmaline.
(20:45):
It's a very grounding. You can even just get a small piece of it.
This was my indulgence piece.
But really you can also just go out and put your forehead on a tree or on the
ground touch a plant put a plant in your face brush a leaf on your face there's
many different things that you can do but this is one of the things in my apothecary
(21:09):
that I love to have for grounding.
I will also share with you that in that sort of rock and crystal realm,
there's many, I've seen many people, and I find this actually true for myself
as well, is amethyst as a grounding tool because it's a bridge tool, right?
(21:31):
It's sort of this bridge between these denser energies of the old paradigm and
then these higher frequency energies of the new paradigm, the new earth paradigm.
And so it acts as a bridge. It helps you feel really solid in both worlds.
But what I find most important about any of these, any gemstones,
any rocks, anything, anything, I mean,
(21:53):
you can just go get a rock off the anywhere, is to look at the shape.
Like you find a shape that feels really right and good and resonant and relevant for you.
I happen to just, this, I love the shape. It's perfectly in my hand.
So this is one tool that I find really, really helpful for like the black tourmaline
(22:16):
is for grounding, but this is for just to put on your third eye, right?
This is for, I find it really helpful for centering my energy.
So if my energy feels very diffuse, it's good to pull it back in and center,
especially this being the shape that it is. I find it also a good connection
(22:36):
in with not just higher frequency, but.
Higher dimensions so the spiritual realm it gets me reconnected with that so
amethyst is great for that i will share with you what else do i want to share
i have so many so many pieces down here i love homeopathy homeopathy was the
(22:57):
only medicine that i used for eight years i have some stories.
Amazing profound mind-blowing stories i could share with you about homeopathy
and i'll save save that for another video.
I'm sure if you Google or do whatever search engine, you're probably going to
find things that are in support of it and things that are not for anything.
(23:20):
Again, always choose medicine and modalities that are relevant and resonant for you.
Let yourself be the anecdotal evidence that you need.
Homeopathy is energy medicine. Here's two that I find very helpful,
particularly for Ascension, Nux, Vomica, and Arsenicum album.
(23:42):
So Nux is, Arsenicum is like, if you feel like you've had any poisons in your
system, so sometimes there's toxicity in the air, sometimes there's toxicity in food or the medicine.
This is a way to like clear out your system. If you feel like there's been some
sort of poison in or toxin that you come into contact with.
(24:02):
Even going into a building that has a lot of fluorescent lighting,
for the way that our energy systems are evolving, the lighting is actually quite
toxic for us and can be very disruptive for our circadian.
So arsenic can be super useful. I use it for clearing that out.
Nux is good for an upset stomach.
(24:24):
So if you ate something because our gut is changing.
And so if you eat something that's not sitting quite right, I find NUX really helpful for that.
Oh gosh, there's so much I want to share with you down here.
Flower Essences. Here are two really good ones for Ascension.
(24:46):
This is a company, hold on, let me see the name of it.
Box Mountain. Box Mountain is the company.
And I love the Bach Flower Essences. I love Spirit and Nature as well.
There's so many great companies out there. Again, it's an energy medicine.
For those of us that are particularly sensitive it's gonna
(25:08):
especially emotionally sensitive right
to other people's energy oh god so hard not to say more things okay so but this
one is called boundaries highly important right now so the energy is they are
flying around um and this one is a an emergency emergency relief.
(25:31):
It's called emergency relief. So those are two really potent flower essences to work with.
There's also crab apple in the Bach flower remedies.
You can simply look these up online.
Oh, there's so many things. I'm going to stop there because I really want to
share all the things with you, but I'm going to stop.
Please share in the comments what you use in your apothecary.
(25:55):
I'll save my homeopathy stories and share those with you very soon because they're
pretty mind-blowing, totally mind-blowing.
If I hadn't experienced them myself, it would be hard for me. I'd be like, what?
This does that?
No. But yes, it did. Just to plant a little seed of interest for future shares on that.
(26:17):
So here is what I want to close out with. These are my suggestions for starting
your own Ascension Apothecary.
It's going to consist of lists, making a list. I'm drained as a coach in addition
to all of the energy guidance that I do.
And I love making lists. I'm a list maker. And so I want to suggest that you
(26:41):
make three different lists.
The first list is the free list. So these are all the free resources that are
available to you that you can have in your apothecary.
Sometimes we just need to see what's already there, right?
Oh, right. So I'm going to give you some examples.
(27:01):
Nature, free. There's many different things in nature.
You can use sticks, you can use stones, you can use dirt, you can use flowers
and leaves and trees, and you can go barefoot.
I mean, there's many, many different ways to work with nature,
but that is like a big freebie that you just like rub your face all up in it.
(27:26):
My husband and son got me flowers for Mother's Day and the first thing I did was rub my face in them.
It was great. It was quite a healing. Anyway, next thing you can add to your free list, your hands.
Your hands are healers. Your hands are healers. Your hands are healers.
Your body is designed to heal. Your body is incredible.
It has spiritual technology in it. It's designed to move energy. Work with it.
(27:52):
Pro tip. If you want to learn more, there's many different ways to learn how
to energetically heal yourself.
I go over some of those in the Energy Guide program, but there's a bajillion
different offerings in the world of people that are teaching this right now.
If you are one of the crew that pays attention to mainstream media,
(28:13):
you might think that there's not a lot of options or the options that are out
there aren't real or legit,
yeah, I would totally suggest that you set that aside and move into the realm
where it actually does exist because all of this is real and it does work.
It's funny, I had two conversations yesterday with, yeah, two different people
(28:35):
and they were, you know, maybe a little more in the mainstream world,
but also in the alternative world and old and new paradigm together.
And yeah, it was a little bit more challenging for them to make the leap to
some of these alternative ways of thinking or being.
But then once they did, you could see a complete shift in their being.
It was pretty incredible.
(28:57):
Anyway, make a free list of what's free to you.
There's more things you can add to that. If you have any ideas,
put them in the comments. Let's all share the free resources. Sharing is caring.
The next list you're going to make is the what I already have list.
And so make it a treasure hunt. Go through your house.
(29:17):
Look at what you have. Look at your community. Who has what?
Maybe you got a friend that wants to share some essential oils with you or who knows.
So yeah, just go around, look in your house.
What do you currently have and make the list. And you might be surprised how
much is already right there supporting you.
The last list I'll have you make, I'll have you make, like you can do, it's all your choice.
(29:43):
I like literally everything is make a list of what you want.
So be indulgent, let yourself dream, you know, spend as much money as you want
in your mind on your list. It's all good.
You're just playing, just make your list. So this is the the way that you can
work with creating an Ascension Apothecary.
(30:04):
What also may be helpful is to, just as a side additional note,
is to write down what are the symptoms that you're experiencing?
How is energy affecting you? What have you been dealing with on a day-to-day basis?
And from that jumping off point, start to look up online alternative approaches
to dot, dot, dot, whatever that is, and then use that to fill in your free list,
(30:30):
your already have list, or your what I want list. So...
I'm going to pull it in. I'm going to stop there. This is a serious act of discipline
for me because I really could go on and on about this stuff.
I love, love, love talking about vitality. I know how key it is to be vital
and to really claim that you're a vital player in this new paradigm game.
(30:55):
It helps you to be in deep alignment with your purpose, the reason why you are
here on the the planet at this time.
And I am 100% sure it is to contribute your unique energetic signature to forward
this new paradigm that we are building and bridging to and creating together.

(00:08):
It's Vanessa, and welcome to a new conversation on energy. This one is going
to be about the Ascension Apothecary.
And in it, I'll be covering a bit about what Ascension is, what Ascension symptoms
might look like, why have an apothecary, what my apothecary looks like.
I'll give you some specific examples and then give you some suggestions on what
(00:33):
to put in your apothecary for your own home kit and well-being.
Now, before I go into the details of that, I want to welcome you here,

The Energy Guide program starts.
Now, registration is open until June 15th, so you can absolutely hop in if you
happen to see this or hear this after May 15th.
But if you're hearing it on or before, why not kick it off when we begin and all start together?
This program is really designed to help you navigate life energetically.
(01:41):
There is a higher purpose for your energy sensitivity, and there is Because
there is so much shifting from that energetic landscape perspective that it
is highly essential to get tuned into.
This is really the basis for all of the sharings that I do on energy because
(02:02):
this is a time when you are meant to be aligning your purpose in this paradigm shift.
You're here on the planet for a reason right now at this time,
there's something specific.
And a specific kind of energy that you are meant to bring to it.
And when we navigate life energetically and you begin to live by your energy
(02:25):
gifts, it's a whole different game, right?
And so there's so many things I could say about the program,
but simply just go to vasmith.com slash energy dash guide, and you'll see all the details there.
There's also make sure to use the coupon code at the top of the page so you can save on joining.
(02:46):
And when you read it, you'll know if it's for you. You'll see testimonials,
you'll see all the details, everything.
And you'll know in your system. And if it is for you, I'll see you in there.
If it's not for you, please do share it with your people that it might be a good fit for.
All right, let's get into the details of this big, big topic.
(03:07):
Any of the categories that I mentioned could in and of themselves be a.
They could be a whole recording also.
So I'm going to try and keep it brief as we move through each of those questions
that I posed at the beginning.
The first thing I want to say though, has to do with why I felt so compelled
(03:29):
to talk about this topic.
And there's three reasons.
The first one is, as you might know, if you've been watching any of my more
recent recordings, I'm at the tail end of, you could call it a cold,
but I know it's an upgrade.
And it's lasted about three weeks for me. I'm still in it.
(03:49):
It's just each day it kind of evolves into a
new a new type of clearing in my
system and in i think
it was the may energy read i shared a bit
about the difference between knowing how do
you know if it's a cold versus an energy upgrade so do check that that recording
(04:11):
out it's on my channel it's the may energy read easy to find so i'm very this
is very top of mind for me the ascension apothecary because Because I am deep in it,
deeply committed to, you know, using my own apothecary to uplift and my own energy.
The second reason I wanted to share this with you is because there's a lot of
(04:35):
energy affecting us right now for many different reasons, right?
Whether it's the solar flares that are going on or the transformation that's
happening for you personally, or, you know, the old systems and structures that
are breaking down there.
I mean, it's like, there's a lot of different energy shifts happening right now.
(04:56):
And it's a very unique time. I mean, back in the day, even five,
10 years ago, we had to really reach for our transformation.
You know, it's like we'd either wait until we got very uncomfortable and then
we'd have to change because we just couldn't take the discomfort anymore.
Or we'd have to have a really strong desire to change because we're very habitual
(05:18):
type of creatures, right?
We operate either rote or unconsciously and don't even realize it.
But that's not how it's playing out anymore, right?
The way that energy is moving is the upgrades, the transformations,
the breakdowns and the breakthroughs, they're happening, whether you sign on for them or not, right?
(05:39):
Like we're already on the roller coaster, like you're already on the ride.
And this is part of the
larger collective you know planetary experience
that we're having right now and so having an
apothecary can really stabilize and strengthen your system so you can ride those
(06:02):
waves a little more ease and grace and the third reason i really wanted to talk
about this is and And this is a theme that I always hold very near and dear to my heart,
but it is coming up in a much louder way.
And I think I may create a separate recording on it.
(06:22):
And that is, you are here for a reason on the planet at this time.
I'm going to say that again. You're here for a reason on the planet at this time.
And that is you have a very specific energetic contribution to make.
And I know a lot of times we can put perhaps pressure on ourselves or freak
(06:43):
out because we don't have the specifics of what that looks like or what kind
of legacy we want to leave or is our purpose a job or we can get caught up in all of that.
But from a very base level, and I'm talking specifically to those in my soul crew, right?
So we incarnate in groups. We're part of a team.
I know whether you feel like a lone wolf or like you're isolated in some way, you're not.
(07:08):
You have way more support than you realize energetically, spiritually,
and on the physical plane of reality because your soul group is actually here
also doing their own thing, you know?
And this is a time where we're meant to be reconnecting with them. And...
That's a little side note on the soul group. I've made some previous shares
on soul groups before I can link them in the description box below.
(07:32):
But essentially, you're here to contribute energetically.
And when your energy is kind of fragmented or all over the place,
or you're stuck, or you're on loop, or whatever it is, when you're operating
in the lower frequency version of yourself, an old version of yourself,
you're not doing what you're here to do. And for my soul crew.
(07:55):
It's important. I remember being five years old and was like,
I know I'm here for a reason. I just got to figure out what it is.
And that's something that's, I want to say like a call or a draw.
It's just wired into who we are.
Not everybody is wired like that. It took me a long time to realize that.
(08:16):
I still have to remind myself like, wait, not everybody thinks like No,
not everybody thinks like this.
Some people are just here to like, to enjoy the show or, you know,
like to, there's many different reasons why we incarnate.
But my group is here because we're here to be part of the change,
right? We're here to shift the paradigm.
(08:36):
We're here to intentionally build, bridge, create the new. and so it's important that we stay on task.
And the more that we can utilize our apothecaries, the better we're able to
be on purpose with our purpose.
And so those are the reasons why I really wanted to speak about the apothecary,
(09:01):
the ascension apothecary.
So let's talk briefly, super briefly about ascension.
Ascension is, I'm going to categorize it in three different ways.
And again, I could go into so many details, but I'm going to refrain and try and keep it brief here.
Number one, it's a rise in frequency. The frequency is rising rapidly.
(09:25):
Across the board, right? It's not just one individual person.
It's not even just the collective. It's quite literally a planetary experience.
And so meaning we're all on earth, we're all experiencing the rise in frequency.
And there's a number of different, we'll talk about the symptoms or the expressions
of ascension in a moment.
(09:45):
But that's one way that you can define ascension as a rise in frequency.
Second way is it's an expansion of consciousness. And what that translates to
is we begin to become aware and understand our reality and what it means to
be human in brand new ways, right?
Our perspective completely changes.
(10:07):
And when that changes, we begin to see our role in all of it in a much more
honestly realistic way than we currently do. Like we're not meant to be slaves to the system.
We're meant to be the co-creators of the system.
So that's the second way. It's an expansion of consciousness.
(10:27):
And then the third way that I'm, there's more than three, but I'm just going
to try and like, again, keep it brief. The third way is that there's a shift
happening in our energetic system.
So, yes, we have physical systems, right?
Our physical body, obviously, our lymph system, our organ system,
(10:48):
our muscular system. We have all of these different systems.
We also have that from an energetic perspective as well. We have many different
energy systems and our energy systems are currently in flux.
They are changing right now. And so the way that you may, the sensations and the perception.
The way you perceive reality is going to shift because your energy systems are changing.
(11:11):
The way that you digest life is changing.
The way that you express life is changing, right? This is all a part of the
ascension. It's not something that's coming.
It's literally something we're in the middle of. The paradigm shift isn't something that's coming.
It's something that we are in the middle of. And so we need to be actively like
(11:33):
working with these energies, especially those of us, again, that are in my soul
crew that are here to be the change, that are here to shift the paradigm.
And just shout out the transformational healers, teachers and messengers,
because that is, and the energy sensitives and intuitives, right?
Those are like my two main people.
(11:53):
Well, I'm the creatives as well. I don't know if I could go on, actually.
I know who my people are, and I have great love and reverence for the energy
that they're bringing to the planet at this time.
So if that's you, raise your hand in the comments.
So let's move on to some common ascension symptoms.
(12:15):
So like I mentioned, you're going to be experiencing reality differently In
terms of sensation, in terms of perception.
So you may experience a variety of different physical shifts.
And what that could look like, some of the common ascension symptoms actually
are like a ringing in the ears, so tinnitus.
(12:37):
You might feel stretched or compressed
in some way physically right so you
feel like your system is being stretched out it's because
energetically it's literally being stretched out right now you also might be
feel compressed like there's a part of somewhere on your body that feels like
it's getting more compressed right now it's energetically happening so if you're
(13:01):
experiencing that there's nothing wrong with you,
but there are things that you can do to support yourself in this experience.
And psychologically, there could be a big polarity swing.
This is a very common ascension symptom where you feel like all of a sudden
enmeshed in an old version of you or an old way of thinking.
(13:22):
And you're like, where did that come from?
Why am I thinking that's not who I am anymore?
What just happened? And then the polarity swing to the other side where you
feel like really some distance, some neutrality, some great clarity.
Yeah, just very objective. Like, oh, wow.
(13:44):
Yeah, I feel complete with that. Right? So there's polarity swings are very ascension symptoms.
And then the last example I want to share with you is more of a spiritual symptom or expression.
It's the dark night of the soul. oh, I feel like I want to do a little dance
with that. The dark night of the soul sounds so like intense.
And it can be very, very intense for us. But essentially, it's you questioning
(14:07):
the nature of reality, which sounds like, oh, yeah, just that. Yes.
Which can be incredibly intense, incredibly profound, incredibly humbling,
but also really simplifying, right?
Like you realize like, oh, wow, that was me that was making the big deal around
this, this, this and this. And oh, wow, I allowed this to happen?
(14:29):
Like, that person being a dickhead to me wasn't their problem.
It was actually mine, because I chose to not create a boundary there.
Okay, yeah, no, clear on that now.
So there's just a lot of clarity that drops in for us that's under the umbrella
of dark night of the soul, where we really have these awakening kind of moments
(14:49):
that are very stark, very obvious.
But when you're in it, it doesn't feel very obvious. It usually feels more obvious on the other side of it.
So those are some common ascension symptoms just to normalize the conversation
around like, is this normal? Is this?
Yeah, I think it is. So I shared with you a little bit already around why have
(15:13):
an ascension apothecary, but I want to just break down a couple of different reasons.
One, again, it strengthens and stabilizes your system. Okay.
Two, it helps you choose to rise in frequency.
So the rise in frequency is happening no matter what. You're on the ride already.
But the way that we respond to the rise in frequency is all up to us.
(15:37):
We could contract and resist and, you know, flip it off and,
you know, choose to stay in a lower frequency, choose to distract,
choose to addict, choose to, you know, whatever we might do.
That expresses a more lower frequency, or we can choose to rise.
And when you work with your apothecary, they're basically tools that help you
(16:02):
rise, that help you really be in that upgraded.
That spiritual identity upgrade, that new version of you that is emerging.
And it's emerging whether you allow it to or not.
It's emerging whether you cultivate it or not. And it's just a matter of how
much you're, you know, like going to battle with the emergence of what is already happening.
(16:28):
And so, but the apothecary can help you choose to rise in frequency.
I also mentioned it helps you feel better. Always A plus in my book.
I personally love feeling better. I've had Had to, I would say,
internally work pretty hard to drop my perfection pictures around vitality and optimal health.
(16:53):
Like right now, I'm still at this tail end of this cold.
I don't feel 100%. I may not look 100%, but I don't care anymore.
I mean, not that I don't care, but I'm not attached to what's the correct language.
Language i am more interested in
(17:14):
allowing the energy to move
through me as it it
feels like it's meant to move through me in the moment i'm
more invested in being whatever the optimal version of myself in this moment
looks like and that might not look like my idealized version It might look like
(17:37):
still having a bit of a nasally,
you know, because I still feel, you know, kind of sick right now.
And being wobbly just might be part of these times and it's okay.
And so there's a lot of grace that I'm learning to give myself in my not perfect
expression of vitality right now, according to my ego's perspective, at least. Yeah.
(18:03):
Two last reasons I want to share with you about having an Ascension Apothecary
is it helps you embody and express your potential.
Like you really become this vessel for the way, for how the divine wants to
move through you, right?
We're all creatively, uniquely designed, God experiencing itself in human form.
And what would that be like to embody and express the potential of that?
(18:28):
That potential always exists within you and we get to choose whether we're going
to let it out, let the light out, let the light through us. Do we choose that?
And when you work with an apothecary, it helps you level up.
It helps you be able to choose that. And then the last reason is I love having
an apothecary and highly recommend one specifically around Ascension is it helps
(18:54):
you do what you're here to do and be who you're here to be.
So this isn't just about potential, but it's also about because that feels good, right?
Being in your potential, you're like, yeah, that's good. But this is about contribution.
For me, that's important, right? Like I, it's important to make an impact collectively.
And I know that's a big part of the reason why I'm here, why that's my assignment.
(19:17):
And of course, I have my daily life, my personal life, which is important to me as well.
But the collective contribution is, yeah, it's a key theme for me.
And I'd love to hear if it's a key theme for you as well. So share in the comments.
And so, yeah, working with your apothecary helps you contribute,
(19:39):
helps you to actually make that contribution that you're here to make.
So I want to share just a couple of pieces from my apothecary.
I could make, and I think perhaps it might be a future direction for me to make
a lot lot of videos around and sharings around what's in my personal apothecary
(20:00):
because I have a lot of things in there.
So I wanted to choose some things that were especially relevant for Ascension.
So first thing I'm going to share with you is, let's see, I'm looking around.
I've got all sorts of things down here.
First thing I'm actually going to share is this. So with Ascension, there's a lot.
(20:22):
You can often feel ungrounded. You can often feel like your energy is being
pulled in many different directions.
So I find anything that you can do to help ground yourself is really,
really helpful. Here's one.
I love it. This is black tourmaline.
(20:45):
It's a very grounding. You can even just get a small piece of it.
This was my indulgence piece.
But really you can also just go out and put your forehead on a tree or on the
ground touch a plant put a plant in your face brush a leaf on your face there's
many different things that you can do but this is one of the things in my apothecary
(21:09):
that I love to have for grounding.
I will also share with you that in that sort of rock and crystal realm,
there's many, I've seen many people, and I find this actually true for myself
as well, is amethyst as a grounding tool because it's a bridge tool, right?
(21:31):
It's sort of this bridge between these denser energies of the old paradigm and
then these higher frequency energies of the new paradigm, the new earth paradigm.
And so it acts as a bridge. It helps you feel really solid in both worlds.
But what I find most important about any of these, any gemstones,
any rocks, anything, anything, I mean,
(21:53):
you can just go get a rock off the anywhere, is to look at the shape.
Like you find a shape that feels really right and good and resonant and relevant for you.
I happen to just, this, I love the shape. It's perfectly in my hand.
So this is one tool that I find really, really helpful for like the black tourmaline
(22:16):
is for grounding, but this is for just to put on your third eye, right?
This is for, I find it really helpful for centering my energy.
So if my energy feels very diffuse, it's good to pull it back in and center,
especially this being the shape that it is. I find it also a good connection
(22:36):
in with not just higher frequency, but.
Higher dimensions so the spiritual realm it gets me reconnected with that so
amethyst is great for that i will share with you what else do i want to share
i have so many so many pieces down here i love homeopathy homeopathy was the
(22:57):
only medicine that i used for eight years i have some stories.
Amazing profound mind-blowing stories i could share with you about homeopathy
and i'll save save that for another video.
I'm sure if you Google or do whatever search engine, you're probably going to
find things that are in support of it and things that are not for anything.
(23:20):
Again, always choose medicine and modalities that are relevant and resonant for you.
Let yourself be the anecdotal evidence that you need.
Homeopathy is energy medicine. Here's two that I find very helpful,
particularly for Ascension, Nux, Vomica, and Arsenicum album.
(23:42):
So Nux is, Arsenicum is like, if you feel like you've had any poisons in your
system, so sometimes there's toxicity in the air, sometimes there's toxicity in food or the medicine.
This is a way to like clear out your system. If you feel like there's been some
sort of poison in or toxin that you come into contact with.
(24:02):
Even going into a building that has a lot of fluorescent lighting,
for the way that our energy systems are evolving, the lighting is actually quite
toxic for us and can be very disruptive for our circadian.
So arsenic can be super useful. I use it for clearing that out.
Nux is good for an upset stomach.
(24:24):
So if you ate something because our gut is changing.
And so if you eat something that's not sitting quite right, I find NUX really helpful for that.
Oh gosh, there's so much I want to share with you down here.
Flower Essences. Here are two really good ones for Ascension.
(24:46):
This is a company, hold on, let me see the name of it.
Box Mountain. Box Mountain is the company.
And I love the Bach Flower Essences. I love Spirit and Nature as well.
There's so many great companies out there. Again, it's an energy medicine.
For those of us that are particularly sensitive it's gonna
(25:08):
especially emotionally sensitive right
to other people's energy oh god so hard not to say more things okay so but this
one is called boundaries highly important right now so the energy is they are
flying around um and this one is a an emergency emergency relief.
(25:31):
It's called emergency relief. So those are two really potent flower essences to work with.
There's also crab apple in the Bach flower remedies.
You can simply look these up online.
Oh, there's so many things. I'm going to stop there because I really want to
share all the things with you, but I'm going to stop.
Please share in the comments what you use in your apothecary.
(25:55):
I'll save my homeopathy stories and share those with you very soon because they're
pretty mind-blowing, totally mind-blowing.
If I hadn't experienced them myself, it would be hard for me. I'd be like, what?
This does that?
No. But yes, it did. Just to plant a little seed of interest for future shares on that.
(26:17):
So here is what I want to close out with. These are my suggestions for starting
your own Ascension Apothecary.
It's going to consist of lists, making a list. I'm drained as a coach in addition
to all of the energy guidance that I do.
And I love making lists. I'm a list maker. And so I want to suggest that you
(26:41):
make three different lists.
The first list is the free list. So these are all the free resources that are
available to you that you can have in your apothecary.
Sometimes we just need to see what's already there, right?
Oh, right. So I'm going to give you some examples.
(27:01):
Nature, free. There's many different things in nature.
You can use sticks, you can use stones, you can use dirt, you can use flowers
and leaves and trees, and you can go barefoot.
I mean, there's many, many different ways to work with nature,
but that is like a big freebie that you just like rub your face all up in it.
(27:26):
My husband and son got me flowers for Mother's Day and the first thing I did was rub my face in them.
It was great. It was quite a healing. Anyway, next thing you can add to your free list, your hands.
Your hands are healers. Your hands are healers. Your hands are healers.
Your body is designed to heal. Your body is incredible.
It has spiritual technology in it. It's designed to move energy. Work with it.
(27:52):
Pro tip. If you want to learn more, there's many different ways to learn how
to energetically heal yourself.
I go over some of those in the Energy Guide program, but there's a bajillion
different offerings in the world of people that are teaching this right now.
If you are one of the crew that pays attention to mainstream media,
(28:13):
you might think that there's not a lot of options or the options that are out
there aren't real or legit,
yeah, I would totally suggest that you set that aside and move into the realm
where it actually does exist because all of this is real and it does work.
It's funny, I had two conversations yesterday with, yeah, two different people
(28:35):
and they were, you know, maybe a little more in the mainstream world,
but also in the alternative world and old and new paradigm together.
And yeah, it was a little bit more challenging for them to make the leap to
some of these alternative ways of thinking or being.
But then once they did, you could see a complete shift in their being.
It was pretty incredible.
(28:57):
Anyway, make a free list of what's free to you.
There's more things you can add to that. If you have any ideas,
put them in the comments. Let's all share the free resources. Sharing is caring.
The next list you're going to make is the what I already have list.
And so make it a treasure hunt. Go through your house.
(29:17):
Look at what you have. Look at your community. Who has what?
Maybe you got a friend that wants to share some essential oils with you or who knows.
So yeah, just go around, look in your house.
What do you currently have and make the list. And you might be surprised how
much is already right there supporting you.
The last list I'll have you make, I'll have you make, like you can do, it's all your choice.
(29:43):
I like literally everything is make a list of what you want.
So be indulgent, let yourself dream, you know, spend as much money as you want
in your mind on your list. It's all good.
You're just playing, just make your list. So this is the the way that you can
work with creating an Ascension Apothecary.
(30:04):
What also may be helpful is to, just as a side additional note,
is to write down what are the symptoms that you're experiencing?
How is energy affecting you? What have you been dealing with on a day-to-day basis?
And from that jumping off point, start to look up online alternative approaches
to dot, dot, dot, whatever that is, and then use that to fill in your free list,
(30:30):
your already have list, or your what I want list. So...
I'm going to pull it in. I'm going to stop there. This is a serious act of discipline
for me because I really could go on and on about this stuff.
I love, love, love talking about vitality. I know how key it is to be vital
and to really claim that you're a vital player in this new paradigm game.
(30:55):
It helps you to be in deep alignment with your purpose, the reason why you are
here on the the planet at this time.
And I am 100% sure it is to contribute your unique energetic signature to forward
this new paradigm that we are building and bridging to and creating together.
(31:18):
So I hope you've enjoyed this share. Would love to hear about your apothecary in the comments.
Again, please do like, comment, share, click to get notifications,
all that good social media stuff that gets us out to more of my people.
If you want to learn more and really be in a very special and potent container
(31:38):
for the next year, do join my energy guide program, vasmith.com slash energy dash guide.
There's a coupon code on the top of my site. You can use that and save some moolah on joining.
And with that, I'm gonna wish you well and we'll be back again soon with another
share on energy. In the meantime, take care and be well.
