Cary Lone. She's a queen talking if you so she's
getting really not afraid to feel this episode, so just
let it flow. No one can do we quiet like
Carey Lone is sounding care lound.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I am just so excited to be here with Laura day.
You are just the person that I want to talk
to every day. Actually, so I'm excited that I get
to talk to you today. I've realized with this podcast,
I it's like the secret the secret goal is actually
I'm just talking to all these people that I want
to talk to, you know, like I love sharing the conversations,

(00:49):
but like, when would I get the chance to just
sit down and talk to you for an hour?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
You know, you're so nice, and you know, I've decided
the secret of self help is you have to be
born with enough difficulties that you spend your life finding
the ends. So, you know, one of my favorite little
posters that I put up on Instagram is that your
pathology can be your potential, you know, because we need

(01:16):
to solve those problems for ourselves, and in doing so,
if you bring them forward in community, you solve them
for everyone else too.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh, you just made that our trauma cycle sounds so
perfect because it is so or not trauma cycle, but
like it is so true. I have been built, born
with my own set of insecurities and you know whatever
that I have been on a quest to understand. And

(01:46):
it's taken me forty years. I'm turning forty this year,
but I'm finally hitting a point where I am having
some real awareness happening. And now I'm realizing I'm kind
of I think I'm kind of switching into the mind
so that you're in where now I'm out of like
the thickness the woods of it, you know, like because
when you're in your like teens and twenties and thirties,

(02:08):
like you're just in the woods of like understanding who
what in the hell has happened? Like who am I?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
You know, you'll go back into that. I'm sixty three,
so you'll go back into the woods at another time
with new tools and new rewards at the end of it.
I mean, I think that it's really a life unlived
if you spend your life avoiding those woods. And we
have choices. I grew up in an era where things

(02:35):
like AA were new and adult survivors of take your
choice were new, but really. I grew up in an
era of victimhood where everyone was a victim of something.
And the fact of the matter is most people, especially women,
are the victim of something by the time they reach adulthood.
And you really have two choices. Which doesn't you know,

(02:58):
doesn't make trauma better, doesn't excuse victimizers, doesn't excuse him
the unfairness of life. But your choice is either to
become an adult victim of take your choice, or to
become a warrior bitch, you know, or a warrior goddess
or a warrior saint, whatever formation you can only you

(03:24):
only can work with what you have, and in doing so,
then that's when you create all the miracles you want.
You say, this is this is reality right now, and
sometimes it really sucks. Sometimes reality is really tough, but
you keep your eye on the goal and you move forward,
not fantasizing, but having a real dedication to your path.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay, so your era was victimhood. I love that. What
happened to what has changed? It's your era in this era,
And do you think a lot of the people from
your era just are still stuck in victimhood or have
people progressed? Like because I thought, this era is not

(04:12):
about being stuck in victimhood.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Right, But in my so in the sixties and in
the seventies, we didn't talk about things we were right
the fifties. So it was important for people to say, hey,
I have been harmed. This happened to me. Like now,
these topics are just in conversation.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
You know, that's a huge, huge jump way.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
All of these they're in our conversation, they're in our lexicon.
You know that they're part of it. But we didn't
come out of that. You know, in the fifties it
was hush hush, You the victim, were not allowed to
speak in the sense you the victim, were the perpetrator
by simply allowing yourself to be victimized. So, as with
everything else, there was an important growth in being a

(05:00):
to come together and say, Okay, we may not individually
have a voice, collectively we do. But the problem is
people get stuck in what works, and mammals are programmed
to be suspicious of change. You know, in the wild,
change is oh my god, I have to get new

(05:21):
tools and I may not survive through that. As human beings,
especially in communities, the wonderful thing is someone's got the tools.
You may not have them, but you can identify the
people who do, and then really collectively we thrive. And
so indeed you're you know, the wonderful therapist. Chances are

(05:46):
who takes you to safety. Chances are was injured. My
intuitive abilities, my ability to move, my attention and time
and space is a function of ADHD. It's a function
of brain injury and many years of good psychiatry. But
you know, we really have to use what we have.

(06:08):
And I think that one of the problems with this
era is that because there's so much social media, we
think we should, you know, be born fully made up
and you know, with a sense of style, And the
reality is it is the courage to have the messy

(06:29):
struggle that creates the phoenix, and we're not. I'm so
impressed with these last couple generations because, yeah, some of
them are sheep, and the sheep will learn because there's
not enough grass in the meadow for everyone. You got
to find your own metal. Bad metaphor, but true. But

(06:53):
I really see I see a group of people who
are saying, Okay, what is a value to me? I know,
what's the value to the community. All I have to
do is go on Instagram. What's the value to me?
What is unique about me? How what do I have
to offer the communities I care about? And underneath all

(07:15):
the superficiality is actually a new functional individuality that I
have a huge amount of respect for.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Way to put that into words, I love that and
it actually I started to see the flip side of
like TikTok and Instagram, because like originally it was like influencer,
everyone's just trying to keep up visually and you know whatever,
it feels like it is going to get you the
most attention. But now it's really I'm with you. I'm
starting to see the undercurrent, which is, Okay, we're gonna

(07:48):
this new generation really wants to be seen and wants
to be seen for who they are, and I feel
like that's awesome because we all want to be seen
for who we are. But it's taken me, like I've
had to undo so much of my programming to get
to that place where it's like maybe this next generation
like you're talking about, is just kind of already there.
They're not feeling like they have they were never trying

(08:08):
to be something they weren't really.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
But also they're trying to share their skills. I mean,
my mother died when I was fourteen. There are a
lot of things I didn't learn. If I want to
learn how to put on my I makeup or set
a table for a proper English tea, all I have
to do is go on social media and someone sharing it.
And you know, we're very you know. One of the

(08:32):
things that I think is true always is we like
to sit in judgment of people's motives. It doesn't matter
if it's useful. And I think that there are a
lot of people who are really trying to be useful.
I mean, I know, for me, I go on Instagram
almost every morning, and people exchange readings, they exchange healings,

(08:52):
They during COVID, they found each other money, they found
each other disposable diapers, they found each other places to live.
You know, there's I think you can use anything positively
and you can use anything in a damaging or gluttonous way.

(09:13):
And it's really up to us. And how do we choose.
We choose by what we consume, and we choose by
what we put out there. You know a lot of
people say, oh my god, you know, big industry, terrible,
terrible Meanwhile, that's where they do all their shopping. You know,
we choose by what we consume, and we choose by

(09:35):
what we offer, where we give our time, where we volunteer,
where we give donations, what we post on our social media,
who we share with, how we share with, how inclusive
we are, because I think that in the name of inclusivity,
we've actually become much more exclusive. And I think that

(09:58):
those are things that this you know, this up and
coming group of which, by the way, I consider you part.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'm a little out. I'm kind of I'm like half in,
half out because I get it, but I'm having to
like learn from them.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I mean, I feel when I'm on Instagram, I definitely
feel like a thirteen year old girl. I don't understand
why someone doesn't want to pay me to represent their perfume.
I mean, I'm a little hurt, but it's it is wonderful,
how how we how we are able to use almost
anything in a positive way, and of course we're able

(10:39):
to use almost anything in a negative way. I've seen
more nasty, judgmental, you know, proclamations made under the guise
of spirituality. Yeah, big business is awful. No, big business
actually gives all of you jobs. You know, spirituality is wonderful.

(10:59):
No spirituality is basically saying, if you don't do X,
Y and Z, you're not a good human being. It's like,
we really need, I think, to look at one another,
look at the tools, and say, does this serve me?
Does this serve my community? And if so, I'm going

(11:20):
to use it or make it available? Is this toxic
to me? Without my having to make a judgment for
all of humanity? You know, is this toxic to me?
Is this toxic to my community? And now without making
you know, all of this useless noise, spending all this
useless energy, What can I do? How can I organize

(11:45):
myself and others to create change? I want love and
I don't go out of my house. Gee, I'm making
a huge vote of no confidence in the world. You know.
How do I make my behaviors coherent with what it
is I want to live and what my goals are?

(12:05):
And that's a lifelong struggle. I don't have all the answers.
That's why I keep writing books. I continue looking for
the answer. One thing and another question just pops right up.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh I love that. I love that, Lara, But I
love that you're searching and then you're sharing because we all,
like you said, we all need this, and some of
us don't even know how to start the search. So
that's another thing I love about the technology is if
you get interested in learning something, you can dig and
you can find good information that can really change your
life out there, which before was never possible. So I

(12:38):
want to talk about you because you are so amazing
that you have done all this work on yourself to
get to this place where you are a true intuitive,
Like your whole life is intuitive, and like you can
like navigate life through your intuition so well, like people
pay you tons of money to teach them how to

(12:58):
understand their intuition. And how do you do that? How
do you separate your ego and your fears from your intuition?
Like a question I have is if you're at a
crossroads in life, and say, like for me example, because
I am in my life like at a crossroad. It's
like I've cleared out a lot of negative energy in

(13:20):
my life. But like I don't know, I get to
places with my intuition where I'm walking into a place,
into a part of a chapter of life. I've never
been before, and like several options seem to be very good,
and like I could see like a pro the prose
to this one, the process one, the cons but it's
like they're kind of equal, Like how do you know

(13:40):
what your intuition wants to do?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well? First of all, your intuition isn't some animal who
walks beside you with volition of its own. You know,
intuition is really it's non local perceptions. So it's the
ability to say, Okay, if I do this, this will
have If I do this, that will happen. If I
do this, that will happen. It's your ability to move

(14:05):
your attention in time and space. And I think that
for me, it's not that I've developed my intuition. I
have a brain that that's really all it does well.
And I was lucky enough in the early eighties to
be part of a group of researchers to be the
subject of people who wanted to see what can intuition do?

(14:29):
So I didn't come to it through spirituality. I came
to it through you're either right or wrong. Well, this
is a remote location, tell us what's there. You're either
right or wrong? You make a prediction you're either right
or wrong. And I think that where we where we
get our intuition confused, and intuition is just a way

(14:49):
of getting the information you need. The way we get
it confused is we we magicalize it. Intuition is your
ability to be in the present to walk into a
new situation. And you're not supposed to be prepared for
a new situation. What you're supposed to do is be

(15:10):
firmly in your reality testing and in that new situation,
say okay, these are the opportunities and risks that are appearing,
and now let me take a moment to put my
attention on each one and notice where I sense it goes.

(15:32):
And it's not detaching from ego, because ego is those
are the receptors through which you process intuition. It's really
detaching from creativity, detaching from imagination, and detaching from habit
because part of the problem is we get into new
situations and we try to apply the old rules and

(15:54):
behaviors to them, and that is a formula usually for disaster,
or at least for less productive futures. So let's say
you've never given a talk before. I remember, I actually
remember my first talk to a room full of thousands

(16:15):
of people. And I am an introvert and I was
invited actually by a university to give this talk, and
so I tried to do it. The people who were
testing me were all doctors and professors, and I tried
to do it in that very informational way they did

(16:38):
and it was awful. I really, you know, people were
looking at their watches. It was humiliating. I was twenty
two or twenty three, and it took me a while
before I actually used my own intuition and said, how
can I make this interesting? So I posed myself a bus.

(17:00):
Your intuition wants a target, it wants a goal. And
I wrote a book that's called The Circle. That really
are the steps to putting together a goal. And my goal,
what was my goal? To be a great speaker. No,
that didn't feel right. What was my goal? My goal
was to give people something they could use. And from

(17:22):
there my next talk was amazing because I made the
whole audience into one person in my attention. And what
did they need? They needed to be able to prove
to themselves that they were using things like telepathy, precognition,

(17:44):
remote viewing, all of these weird skills all the time.
They needed to be able to ground it, and so
I started a lecture style that was really about, oh,
notice this, now document it, now, prove it to yourself.
And that was intuition really giving me a format. So

(18:06):
when you're in a new situation, which ideally you are
every moment, because ideally you're not living your life through
happen and pattern, you're living your life through goal and
curiosity and grounding an expansion, you notice what's there in
this situation? How can I use it to reach my goal?

(18:28):
And the important phrase there? Then I'll let you get
a word and edgewise The important phrase there is have
a goal? What's my goal in this situation?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh man, okay. I just love how casually you're talking
about intuition. When you're talking about this speech. Though you're
using words like premonition, you're using words like what is it?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Telepathy? So telepathy is and we do this all the time.
The first documented experiments on telepathy documented because video didn't
exist before then, so it was more or less anecdotal
until then. Was it Mammamane's medical center in the nineteen fifties,
and they documented in separate rooms someone looked at an image.

(19:13):
Someone unrelated never met looked at an image. Someone went
to sleep, They woke them up, and they were able
to describe the image. Now, you know, parapsychological research is
very different because we can see what goes on in
the human brain. So, for example, precognition is telling the future.

(19:34):
We can see that a human brain responds to a picture,
a photograph that a computer hasn't even chosen or generated yet,
because we can now see what the brain does. So
it's really interesting this kind of research now because we

(19:55):
don't have to ask the person draw what it is
that you sent draw the picture that a computer will
choose in the future. We can actually see that the
brain is responding to a violent picture, to a loving picture,
to a picture of falling. You know, we can see
without the translator that's often inaccurate of the human reporting

(20:22):
their experience.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I love all this So for someone who's pretty like
I feel like I'm pretty in touch with my intuition,
but I don't. I also feel like I'm a beginner
to like what you're talking about because I want to know.
For someone who's sort of a beginner at understanding their intuition,
and really wants to work with their intuition. It really
wants to be led by it and have like and
let it not be this dog on the side walking

(20:50):
next to them. But it's like, like you said, it's
like a part of who we are. For a beginner,
what are the beginning steps that we need to do
to be to let our in tuition lead? How do
we let our intuition lead?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Like?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
How what are some things we can apply?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
First of all, you don't want your intuition can help
you find the next disastrous relationship as easily as it
can help you find the next good one, actually more
easily if all your old patterns are disastrous ones. So
intuition isn't some angel who knows the truth. Intuition is
a function of your brain. It gives you information. So

(21:25):
the first place actually where you train intuition is in
your conscious and subconscious communications. So your intuition to use
it well starts with really laying out and on paper.
You know, the mind's a messy place. You know, we

(21:46):
all think we're doing something, But how can you find
that thought with all of those gazillion other thoughts? What's
your goal? You know? I I for people who like
the more magical feeling, you can do a vision wheel.
I suggest you do really a pie in all areas

(22:08):
of your life. What are you moving to? Family, you're
moving to wanting to have a child. You you'd like
a partner, but what you really want is a child. Financially,
you want to win the lottery. That's a vote of
no confidence in yourself. And you're subconscious probably wants you
to feel of worth more than it wants you to

(22:28):
win the lottery, so you're gonna have some kickback on that.
So in terms of your ma million needs, you want
to be paid adequately or wonderfully for something you love.
There's something that gives you a real purpose that you
want to wake up for. Okay, we have finances. Health,

(22:51):
you want to feel vital and gain a few pounds.
That's your target. Family. You want to have clear, open
communication that's supportive with your family. And you want to
define family because it's important to define your targets. That
means anyone who's unwilling to communicate that way will find

(23:13):
themselves ultimately outside your family. So you want to create.
You want to create your targets and on Instagram that's
really what we do a lot in the morning, we
rebuild ourselves. Oh okay, because the ego. By the way,
the ego is a great thing. If you don't have
an ego, you're a blob of energy creating nothing. Ego

(23:34):
is wonderful. Damaged ego, injured ego not so wonderful. You
take that energy and you create a lot of contorted
things without even wanting to. So the first thing is
to really have goals. And I always think it's what
I have observed in forty years of teaching, is it's

(23:55):
important to have a front runner. You know, think of
it as a carriage. Your life is a marriage drawn
by horses. If every horse is going their own direction,
you're not going to get anywhere. But if you have
a front runner, So at the moment, your front runner
may be really having a the love of your life

(24:17):
and you being the love of their life to create with.
Your front runner may be really making enough money that
your choices feel open. The important thing, though, with your
front runner goal, your main goal isn't that it's something
that's positive or healthy or even just Your front runner

(24:38):
goal needs to be something your subconscious is on board with,
which means it needs to be the thing that breaks
your heart that you don't have, the thing that you're
jealous of in others. And by the way, I use
the word jealous because stop judging your reactivity. It tells
you something. Jealousy is wonderful. It tells you, oh, I

(25:01):
want that. And once once that becomes something you own,
that you want that, you don't really want to take
it from somebody else. You just want to own it yourself,
and then you're able to collaborate. But we're so toxically
judgmental of what we want. And hey, we're mammals. We

(25:22):
want to survive. That's good, that's a healthy thing. We're
so judgmental about it. And actually, the multi billion dollar
spiritual industry tends to make us even more judgment It's
all about love. No, it's actually not all about love.
It's all about survival. And when we get good at survival,

(25:42):
we're more able to do survival in a connected and
loving way. But your own oxygen mask needs to go
on first, and that's your job is to be a
mammal first and foremost, not a higher spiritual being. You
don't need a body to be a high spiritual being.
But your first job is to be a good mammal,

(26:04):
get adequate food support, purpose, nutrition, sleep, contact. You know,
when you take care of the mammal. It's interesting how
you actually are able to elevate the rest of it,
and yet we're so judged for doing that.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
That is so profound. I love how you just know
this stuff, because like I love how you are just
like an You just know this. It's just a fact
for you, what you're saying. Because I feel that's why
I love talking to people like you who have all
this research and all of this knowledge, and you have
done so much work to gain this information to know it.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
But we still walk into our own walls. I mean,
I think anyone who tells you they have the answer,
they've solved it, they're lying.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I mean, but I feel like it's tried and true
with you. You know, like you've lived through enough things
to be able to speak from a truthful place.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
You know you have too, They're just different things, and
that's why community is so important.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I love that because you said, like in a community,
somebody can do the one somebody can do everything when
you collectively come together.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I mean, the younger people in my community are really
social Media is important in this world. I'm sixty three
years old. Social media when I was young was yelling
out of your window. Yeah, you know, I there's so
many things that I don't know. And by the way,
knowing what works doesn't always mean you can use it.

(27:43):
I know that I should discharge irritation before speaking. I
speak with great irritation.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
And you love it.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Serve myself. Well, you know, we're all. We are all,
I think a work in progress. And if someone's reading
my books or watching a show like yours, they're dedicated
to continue to work. You know, they're the best person

(28:16):
you can be right now. You're not the best person
you can be an hour from now. And that is
a lifetime that's a lifetime job. And I think we
all have something to share. It is sad, but you know,
one of the things that I think is the most
difficult for people your age today is that older people

(28:40):
stay functional longer, and so we need to find a
way that older people can still mentor people younger people
while being in the workforce and being vital. I think
that there is there is a huge gap in mentorship,

(29:02):
and mentorship is really important in each everything, Yes, and
each party gets something from it. There is something that
you gain just by the passage of time, by trying
things out, by observation, and those shortcuts can be can
be given, just like there are there are new ways

(29:25):
that people are doing things that can can enhance us.
I mean, I do my own social media and it's
so obvious, but I just really enjoy the hands on
of actually knowing the people and doing intuitive readings for
the people who participate. You know, I like that hands on.

(29:48):
Not the best way to do it business wise, but
but but it has meaning for me. I think that
you really you know you you pick what you do.
On the other hand, there's a way of doing things.
I do most of my classes online now and it
really helps me reach areas of the world that I

(30:09):
wouldn't be able to reach. It is true that in
Australia waking up in the middle of the night to
do my workshop, which I definitely have to address. But
you know, once again, one of the things intuition teaches
you and I would like to go over the different
parts of intuition.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Oh yeah, and I'd love to talk about what an
intuitive reading is.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Okay, So one of the things intuition teaches you is
we are not separate and intuitive reading is different for
depending on what you need. Intuition is an idiot's gift.
It's the ability to have a target question and then
respond to it. So right now I'm trying to think
how i'd like this whole group to do this. Right now,

(30:51):
I'd like you to very quickly write down three goals. Okay,
and I always have three goals written down.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I'm under it too, Okay, three goals.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I want you to write, very quickly write down three goals.
And this is a This is a very easy intuitive
exercise and we actually do this online every single day
on Instagram. I am going to write down and number
those goals one, two, and three, and I'm going to

(31:24):
give you. This is also available by the way, in
my link tree on Instagram at Laura Day into It.
But I want to do it with you now because
one of the things that I've noticed, and I've written
six books on intuition, is talking about intuition. Yeah, people
kind of get it, but when they experience it, it
becomes useful. Now I have written down a number in

(31:47):
my book. The idea isn't to guess the number. We're
not guessing here. I'm going to take you through a
very brief intuitive exercise. First of all, there's no intuitive state,
So no taking a deep breath, putting your thumb and
forefinger together, chanting, no bringing your angels in. You are
an intuitive state all the time. In and out of

(32:07):
that state. Don't relax because actually, intuitions and survival skill
it is hyper attention. It's knowing that prey that can
feed your tribe is a mile away, even if you
can't hear or sense them, because you know intuitively. So
now what I want you to do is everything that

(32:28):
you experience, including things in your immediate environment, are going
to be information to help you with goal number one.
And I want you to notice what you notice, literally,
notice what you taste, what you smell, what you hear,
what you feel. And I'm going to model this for you.
So I am going to I'm going to model for you.

(32:49):
The first thing that I see, I'm modeling this for you, Caroline, Okay,
thing that I see is a picture of my father
in law and my mother in law.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
My father in.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Law at ninety seven is still around, my mother in
law is not anymore, and I'm but I'm really feeling
their connection. And a light is over them. A light's
being shined on them. But they're at a distance from
where I am right now, and I'm I don't feel
like the distance needs to be bridged, but I feel

(33:22):
like the distance they need to sit for a while
before it's resolved. And now I'm using all of my
senses to feel this. And then from this year, I'm
hearing music and it's imaginary music, it's intuitive music. I'm
hearing music, and I'm feeling. I'm feeling a period of

(33:45):
time that's you know, two somethings ago, like not this June,
the June before it, but there's some like little hop
in time where there was a real shift in your attitude.
That's what a reading's like. You just follow you attention.
You're not looking for anything. You're following your attention.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Can you give me a reading or do you have
to like tap into something?

Speaker 1 (34:08):
No, you don't tap in and there's always a target
that was your reading on you? And did all of
you now? I want all of you to do that.
I have a question the number goal. I have a
number goal. And the reason I asked you to do
three goals is I wanted you to confuse yourself. Okay,
So if I had said answer, when will my business be?

(34:31):
Blah blah blah, you start thinking. If you don't know
which goal you're doing a reading on, it's harder to think,
not impossible, but harder. So I have written down a
number now I know. The very first time I ever
did this was with the Oprah audience in nineteen ninety five,
and they were not believers I had. They wanted some

(34:53):
b roll for me to do quickly, and I did
this and they did amazing readings. So what I want
you to do now again? No, what is where your
attention goes in the room, in your imagination? Let it
fly around? What's your attention? Your five senses? No, you're looking, Caroline,
You're all knowing. You're just noticing. You're not looking for anything.
You're noticing, you're noticing. So notice you had a misstart.

(35:17):
That's part of your reading. Nothing is not part of
your reading. When you're reading, allow yourself to notice where
your attention goes other than my voice because I'm talking NonStop.
Where is your attention? Where are your memories? What are
you tasting? What are you feeling? Who are you thinking of?
What's the sense that you have? What are you hearing.

(35:38):
Just notice what's in the room with you, What are
you noticing about, what you're noticing, Write it all down
in as much detail as possible. And I'm going to
give you a moment to do this before I tell
you which number goal you were reading. Okay, more quickly
you take notes, the less time you'll give your mind
to reason. And now I'm going to tell you that

(36:01):
you were doing a reading on your goal number one. Now,
don't be a stickler. You know you can. You can
be a describing a marriage, but you're actually describing a
partnership for your business. You're you know. But the way
to interpret your information is assume all of your information

(36:22):
applies and in a very literal way, address it to
your goal number one and do that now, and what
you will notice and you can just write down that
it was goal number one you were doing. What you
will notice is that your your information actually alerted you

(36:46):
to things perhaps you would not have been alerted to
had you just thought about the question. So that's a
very basic, intuitive exercise. All of you have experienced intuition. Knowing,
you know, before you pick up your phone, knowing who's
on the other end, or calling someone here's a very

(37:07):
simple example of telepathy. My husband's on the couch. I'm
on a chair. This is yesterday morning. He is an
Academy voter. He's going through his emails and drinking his
coffee whatever he does in the morning. And I look
at him and I say, you know, I think you
need to do put in your Academy votes. And he

(37:29):
looked at me and he said, I just opened that
on my screen. So that's telepathy. I know. Do I
have to always be aware of what I know? No,
drive me crazy, but I know and that those are
those little verifications. You do that all the time. Same
thing with remote viewing. Viewing a remote location. You're going

(37:51):
to a friend's house and you get a flash of
a painting of a woman with a puppy. The minute
you walk into this house. You've never been before, there
is that painting, so you've been there in your mind's eye.
Pre Cognition is what often scares us. And the reality
is if you're if you're seeing something bad happening, make

(38:13):
a change in the moment. You know your fate is
not written in stone. You create your reality. But precognition
is when you know something's going to happen, and it does,
and it's not based on any information. You know, Precognition
isn't good reasoning skills. It's when out of the blue
something happens. So and you have known that ahead of time.

(38:38):
These are normal skills everybody has, and they can be
trained to be useful. And most you know, most company
ceoos who are successful, they are intuitive. Most people in
relationships who are successful, they are intuitive. You know, Intuition

(38:59):
really is part of your daily functioning, and that's why
it is so important to train it, even if you
don't want to be a professional psychic or intuitive. I
work mostly with companies because my concern, sorry, that's my
coffee machine deciding to clean itself. My concern is that

(39:22):
I'm the only voice for another human being. You know,
I don't know if they have friends, or a therapist
or a supportive family. So, and intuition is really wrong,
but it can be and you can misinterpret it or
someone can take it the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
So I like working for companies because I'm one of
a team of people who already know what they're doing.
As when I read for an individual, I don't know
what their support staff. So I've worked for the same
companies for decades and that's really what I do for
a living.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
So what do you do when you work with a company?
How do you apply your gifts to this company? And
like or how do you do a reading? I know
you've been doing them, Like what is it? Like? What
exactly goes down when you're working with these companies and individuals?

Speaker 1 (40:11):
And once again, as I say this, I want to say,
all of you can do this. I mean, I've trained
for decades and decades, but mostly I predict the future.
Mostly I'm predicting what will happen based on a decision
they're making. Now, I'm predicting things that might come out
of the blue that may affect the company that they

(40:32):
may want to prepare for now. A lot of the
time I'm making you know, I'm contributing my intuition to
very basic decisions like should the packaging be read or orange?
How will this person function in this job? How will

(40:54):
you know will the fabric arrive in time to cut
the style for fall production?

Speaker 2 (41:06):
So when you have these questions, what is it, what
is your brain do? Like what does it go through?

Speaker 1 (41:10):
What's what we just do?

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Okay, you just do that whole use.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Someone asks the question and I notice, and I use
what you know. I work with things like technology or
new medicines, and I have to use the language I have.
Often my client understands the reading much better than I do,
because I'll be evaluating a piece of technology and I'll

(41:36):
have to describe with the language I have what it
is I am literally seeing, and they know exactly what
I'm talking about, and I feel, you know, like I
need better psych meds. So it's it's it. One of
the things that we that I love about intuition is

(41:57):
without knowing anything. Actually knowing something about a question or
a company interferes with intuition, which is why that exercise
where we confused you, you know, where you didn't really
know which goal you were to know about the companies,
And actually the companies I work with are things like
venture can do so frequently that I wouldn't even really

(42:19):
be able to retain the knowledge of what right right
as they're doing. But there are ways to confuse yourself
so that you don't know what you're talking about. Actually
the best thing to do is to do readings in community,
so to not kind of share what's going on in
your life. But really, have a group that gets together

(42:39):
and you write down a question, or you throw out
a question, or you throw out a goal, and you
let people simply tell you where their attention goes, and
you get really unbelievable information. And what people need to
learn to do often when they're doing readings and also
in their own minds, is we don't get things like

(43:01):
I see a path, I see love, I see sunshine. No,
I see a path. It feels like Boston to me.
There's a guy with a j name, very tall, seems
to have a beard. I feel like there's some you
meet this person on some kind of camping trip. I

(43:21):
think that this person actually is someone who's going to
also back your business. I'm feeling, you know, if you
report in detail, I mean, you know, look at your finger.
If you look at your finger, yeah it's a finger
that you can say that it's a finger. No, this
is a finger. Right now, it's partially blocking my view
of my computer screen. I see that it has joints,

(43:44):
and the top joint is immobile. It makes me feel
like you need to think less and take action more. Like, really,
when you report what you're actually experiencing, there's a lot
of detail in that. I hate. I get so my
students who do things like when someone has a target
and say, I feel like you need to drink more water.

(44:07):
I see, love, I see. I'm like, really, this is
not how you think you would be in a peanut
butter jar, Like that's that is literally the perception of
ground peanuts. That's not how we think. We think in
detail and dynamically, and our attention moves all over the place,
and when you get to use to that state, you

(44:30):
become highly intuitive. You will never do as good a
reading for yourself as someone will do for you. The
reason is you know your fears, you know your hopes,
you know your biases, and already it taints your interpretation.
I do a system called the circle, where you really,

(44:50):
in choosing a goal, you take it through a system
where the intuition becomes subconscious, so you keep yourself in
track with your intuition without being able to convince yourself
out of it or scare yourself with it. And we're
all great at using intuition to scare ourselves. You know,
you think you're going to die in a fiery crash.

(45:10):
That's just not how intuition works. Intuition says, don't get
in the car with a license plate beginning in the
letter A with a crushed bumper on the left side
with some woman who just went grocery shopping at shopright, Like,
your intuition is not this vague sense of knowing. You know,

(45:32):
that's when we magicalize things, and the more we like
I hate it when people need to get into their
intuitive state in a business meeting. You don't have time
to burn a little sage. Do your mantra, Do not
train yourself to make things useless to you. Learn to get,
for example, into an aware state, a grounded state, a

(45:54):
meditative state, a happy state, an angry state, a defensive
state on a dime, because that's when you need those things.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
And I have an amen, Amen, I mean, I'm just
like receiving this information. This is so incredible. So I mean, like,
you work with a ton of celebrities. Brad Pitt even said,
like I trust my gut and I trust Lara Day.
What does that even mean? What do you do for
these celebrities? You just work with them all the time
and they like run their questions by you or so.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
I don't work with anybody all the time, because I
am very big on people as much as possible, learning
to do what I do and doing it for themselves.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
But when questions come up, you know, every first of all,
everyone's a celebrity in their own life, right, You're a
celebrity in your life. I'm a celebrity in my life.
I mean, excuse me, it's the Laura Day Show here.
I mean, you know, in my life. We're all celebrities
in our own life, and there are the best way
to live life is to find that balance between being

(47:00):
in the moment, mindfulness and being strategic. So what's coming up?
How do I need to prepare? How much can I
ask for this role? What does the casting director want
to see? Will this product be a hit in January?
If I wait till March or push it to November?

(47:24):
Is it better?

Speaker 2 (47:25):
You know?

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Very structural questions. So we really want to work with
the dynamic between enjoying this moment, because this moment it
needs to be as good as possible. That's you know,
that's currency, that's fuel being able to be okay right
now and not always an easy task, and having something

(47:50):
we're working toward and having a strategy for it. And
then of course they're those left field zingers that we're
always catching and trip over, and how can we be
more resilient? And that's also, you know, part of what
my job is is to say, hey, the zinger is
coming up, let's prepare for it now. So it's not

(48:11):
a singer, so we're ready for it.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
So you're saying, tell me, if you're saying this troll,
you're saying anyone can have. Everyone has this intuitive psychic ability.
It's just whether or not we can like open ourselves
up to fully receive it.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Learn not open up, but engage it appropriately and practice
it so it becomes you know, we practice logic from
the moment we're born. School trains rational thinking. We need
to train intuition also, so that it's so that our
questions are the right ones, our targets are the right ones,

(48:46):
and not the habitual ones.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Okay, okay, not just what we've been programmed.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
You know, yes, you know, you can't your intuition can say.
You know, your intuition may be looking for daddy, and
Daddy may have been an abuse bastard, and you are
finding daddy, and every relationship you meet, your intuition is
doing a great job. It's not just helping you very much.
You You know, intuition isn't it's not something we open

(49:13):
up to. It's a it's a part of us. And actually,
in How to Rule the World from your Couch, I
show people how to close down their intuitional as well
as direct it toward their goals and prove it to themselves.
Because if your subconscious doesn't see that it's worthwhile, it's
not going to use it. So how do you shut
down intuition? I'm going to do a real quick one

(49:35):
with all of you.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Okay, good.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
It's all the conversations you're having in your head with
all of the people who you're not who either you
don't care about, you know, the person who cut you
off from the drive to work this morning you don't
care about, or where there's not a positive result, you
don't want a relationship there anyway, you know. Notice all
of those conversations, and now use the big D word discipline.

(50:02):
When you notice those conversations, what's a productive conversation with
your future lover, with your future boss, with your mom
who needs your support and love right now? What are
the conversations you want to be having and every time
you go back into that argument with the friend who

(50:23):
screwed you over who you shouldn't be friends with anyway,
move it over, move away, put a period there. And
it really where we are habitual creatures. You have to
do this.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
We're saying, change our thoughts too, like, oh, we froze,
but you.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Froze like this, which is very interesting.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Okay, So you're saying we need to change our thoughts,
like as soon as we start going down those old patterns,
we need to switch it to the conversations that we
want to have, to the thoughts that we want to have.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
And what you'll notice, not so much the thoughts, the
conversations because we want to have you know, I might
want to have the thought I can fly, God forbid,
I believe it's so much I jump out of my window, right,
the conversations that build something in your life. So and
and telepathy is a two way street, by the way,

(51:18):
and that's a little more complex. And but how to
rule from the world where your couch really says, okay,
this is how you shut down that telepathy because, by
the way, you don't have room to have the positive
conversations that can create things in your life. If all
of your conversations are still with you know, mommy and
Daddy who didn't love me enough. You know that it

(51:40):
takes space your you know, energy is infinite. Unfortunately, your
attention is not. So to make choices about where we
place our attention and what you will notice. And I'm
big on proof. I am very anti belief. If you
have to believe in it, there's a kink in your method.

(52:01):
But if you can prove it, then you have an
operating system. So notice one person, one one telepathic conversation
that is not working for you, and that single conversation
switch to one conversation you want to have with someone else.

(52:22):
You will notice that your life changes. How does it change?
I don't know what was the conversation getting in the
way of what is the new conversation helping you do?
Give it eight days and you will notice a real shift.
Now often, of course, you have to deal with crap
in the meantime, So you stop having the conversation in

(52:43):
your head with the guy who left you. Well, when
you stop having that conversation, he gets anxious and he
starts getting friends to get in touch with you and
give them. But then you can see Oh wait, I
stopped talking to him. Even though I haven't spoken him
in a month, I stopped talking to him, and all
of a sudden, he's trying to find ways to talk

(53:05):
to me. And then it brings up you know, choices.
Life is full of choices. What do I want to
do with this? Do I want to re engage on
different terms? What this shows me as Wow, he really
does want contact, but this is the distance he's comfortable with.
You know, Do I want to continue to disengage so

(53:25):
that I have the space for a new relationship in
my life?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Interesting? Wow, So just the conversations in our own head
can change our entire reality.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
They're not in your own head, you are. Actually there
is enough verifying research now on the fact that when
you have a conversation with someone, they hear you. They
may not know they're hearing you, but they do and
they respond to you, which is why.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Well, okay, okay, that's huge. So I feel like I
have certain invisible connections with people that I know and like,
I appreciate, but like we're not like talking on the phone,
we're not best friends, we have life together. But I
mean I have like constant conversations with them in my head.
Are they they're feeling that, yes.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
And you are feeling their responses. I mean, one thing
you can also do with telepathy, and this is that's
so cool. It takes too long to do on a podcast.
But one thing you also can do with telepathy is
when you listen. If you're having a conversation with someone
who you do care about and you do want resolution with,
you may have to listen better, and you listen with

(54:30):
your senses. It's not words, it's your senses. But you
may need to listen better and perhaps try on a
different point of view and respond in a different way,
and you can actually heal things, heal a relationship just
by doing that. And once again, the proof is that
the person in your real, verifiable reality, day to day

(54:56):
reaches out to you in a different way. I really
suggest you document things and you look for proofs, because
otherwise it really is just all in your head. And
you beliefs are lovely. Believe in unicorns, lovely, but don't
try to ride one. You know you want your tools
to work. Intuition is a tool, so you need to

(55:18):
document it. You need to know you know how to
use it. You need to adjust yourself when, for example,
your telepathy is not getting you an appropriate result. So often,
for example, I've done telepathy with someone I want to
have come closer, and they've experienced it as needy and distanced,

(55:39):
and so I've shifted my telepathy and then they'll give
me a call. So life is a dynamic process.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
So we really are in movement with the people in
our lives, I mean, and.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
With sure and with our past, you.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Know, feeling it. It's like a dance. You're getting out
there and whatever you feel back is a reflection of
what you're putting out there. I guess, right.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Not always. Sometimes someone's putting something out and you're reacting
to it, right, and you have a choice not to,
I mean, just because someone's pissed at you. Hey, the reality,
it's okay not to give a shit.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I have a question. Say you want to start working
with someone that you know, but you're not working together
right now? Are you going to start mentally having a
conversation with them to get them interested?

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Yes? I would listen first, What would you listen for?
I would listen for First of all, I would notice
where I perceive them in time and space. And if
you have trouble doing that. I'd often use an object
like a can or a cop to represent them, and
then I would just sit and not focus on them,

(56:53):
but know that that's the target. And then I would
notice what it is they're looking for, not from you,
just in general, like, take a moment to get to
know them in a way that perhaps they wouldn't expose
themselves normally. So you take a moment to get to
know them, and then you might notice, oh, wait, they

(57:19):
are looking for a service oriented, not complicate. They are
not looking for a mentoring situation or a palsy situation.
They're looking for someone who can just do this job
and allow And then your sense, oh, they don't want
to start at a high price point. They want something

(57:41):
where what you do then increases. How can I now,
how can I present to them telepathically that I'm in
a position that i'd be willing to do that, that
this doesn't have to be my whole thing, for example,
even so i'd be giving my whole self to it,

(58:02):
it can still be a part time thing. And get them.
And then you'll notice as you dialogue with someone, you'll
notice that they perceive you more. You will be coming
to their attention. And then you notice as you come
to their attention. And this is all in how to
rule the world from your couch, but you notice how

(58:23):
how they their attitude changed, and you continue to engage
in the dialogue. The probably blob with telepathy is they
think if they send their husband get milk on your
way home, get milk, that they're going to get milk.
They're not going to get milk. They're going to say,
oh God, it's so long, I don't want to stop.

(58:44):
I've had a hard days. No, you send them a
feeling of the next morning, steaming cup of coffee, great
coffee smell, opening the refrigerator, no milk, and it occurs
to them, wow, do we not have milk at home?
Let me stop? So you know, it is life, man.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
This is beautiful Laura like this, like and you are
you being such a skilled master at this, like me
listening to you, like seeing how I can like do this.
I'm like, oh my gosh, why am I not doing
this like intentionally? You know I am, but I'm not.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
That's right, And you know intention I mean we bring up,
you bring up the most important thing in life, which
is intention. You know, it is wonderful to just respond
to life. And I really encourage that that part of
life is just mindfulness, being who you are, where you
are with what's around you, and letting life in. But

(59:44):
a big part of life is also intention Why are argument?
What is my goal here? What is there? Where's a
meeting point? I mean sometimes listen, I'm married. Sometimes it's
just fun to fight. To fight, you gotta just charge
a discharge. You know, you just have to have that moment.
But that's destructive if that's your steady diet, or when

(01:00:08):
you're nagging about the same thing. Sometimes you just feel
like nagging about the same thing. Let's be honest, we
can't all be evolved every second. But ultimately big things.
You want to have a goal, you want to create.
What are you? What are you creating in your life?
And how do you put that under one umbrella? And

(01:00:30):
that's what the circle is about. If the circle really
is a technique about of course, we all have a
lot of goals, but we're one person. So how do
we get those goals to talk to each other? How
do we frame them maybe in one front runner, so
that our life can unfold and we can be intentional

(01:00:51):
in our thoughts intentional in our actions. I'm a food shoveler,
for example, and I eat wonderful food. And I'm a
food shoveler because I grew up in an era where
as a skinny kid where I needed to eat and
I really learned to be intentional with certain meals. And

(01:01:12):
I'm just enjoying what am I doing this for. I'm
doing this in this beautiful restaurant to have a wonderful
experience with my good friend. Let me slow down and
shift my intention from getting the food into me to
enjoying this unbelievable banquet with my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
I love that. Okay, So in your books, like I
would love you to give us the starter kit, Like
if we need the starter kit, which one should we get?
And do you get walked through different exercises of how to,
like like what you just were explaining with telepathy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
I'm like, oh my, are all workshops because I'm really
you know, if you explain intuition, you're asking people to
believe something. Intuition isn't a belief, It's a tool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Each one of my books is a workshop, and I
actually they're written so that once you mass them, you
can teach them if you want to.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Oh my god, okay, so.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
I think to I always suggest that people start with
the Circle. It's called the Circle. How the power of
a single whish can change your life. Why it's not
the best intuitive training book, it is the best book
for using your intuition subconsciously to create what you want
in your life. How to Rule the World from your

(01:02:25):
Couch is really a textbook. It has what's called quick hits.
So you want to do telepathy, here's how to do it.
Who are you contacting? What's your goal? Let's document this? Yes,
So How to Rule the World from your Couch is
really the textbook for people who want to be intuitives.

(01:02:46):
Practical Intuition is the book for them because it really
goes through the richness of what it takes to do
a reading for somebody else while proving you learn to
do it while answering three of your own questions. And
I love I've wrote a book called Welcome to Your Crisis,
which I really love because listen, when you create new

(01:03:10):
things in your life, you are going to hit walls.
Your old abilities and patterns won't work, and those walls
can either turn into crises or stairs to be able
to climb up, and so it's important to know how
you as an individual respond to crisis. But I would
say start with a circle and go to how the

(01:03:33):
Rule a World from your couch, But come on Instagram
in the mornings and just try. There's a short video
in my bio on Instagram. It's Laura Day into it.
Do the short video to learn how to just do
a quickie reading. Then come on and exchange readings with
other people and we work together. We start. I started

(01:03:53):
this during COVID. I was in London. A lot of
my readership was in the US. People were really in crisis,
and I thought, that's what intuition is for, because intuition
is the ultimate problem solver. It doesn't care if you're
in the middle of the ocean. It will call you
that dolphin to take you to the nearest fruit filled eye.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
You can call stuff in your intuition literally calls it
is this all.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
That's what telepathy is, and it's right. That's what precognition is.
It's seeing what's ahead and find and hurrying it up.
We're troubleshooting now so you don't have trouble in the future.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Okay, Okay, Okay, okay, so does this We don't have
to get into this because I'm sure this would be
a whole other conversation, but does this like is this
like the law of attraction? Also? Is that kind of
is it?

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
You know, the law of attraction dumbs things down. The
reality is, if you're mean, it's not like you're going
to attract mean people. You may attract massachists who like
people to be mean to them. You know, you can't
dumb down human beings. What you are you create but
what you are, and that makes sense. You know, job,

(01:05:04):
I'm going to create a mess. If I'm to order myself,
I'm going to create order. A mess may create creativity,
order may create wealth. You know, it's but it's it's
more intricate than that. And that's the beauty of intuition
is that it's not a big brushstroke. Intuition deals with

(01:05:24):
all the magnificent details of you being you. And I
hate to sound like a new age author, but only
you can do you the way you do you and
the world needs you. You can market you. You are marketable,
whether it's marketable in love or marketable in a job market,
or marketable something you pay for you know, people are

(01:05:47):
marketing their their other abilities. I don't think disability is
a word anymore. You can market you My ability to
move in space and time is a disability. I have
severe ADHD. If I had to learn the circulatory system,

(01:06:08):
I would be otherly abled in a way that would
not allow me to do that. So use your abilities
and then develop competence where you need to. Because of
course we all have or hire people. You know, you
get to that point where you I'm terrible at marketing,
I'm going to hire somebody. You know I love doing workshops.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
Well, you could probably call in with your intuition the
person that you need to hire, right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Right, But you still have to talk to them. You
still have to draw a contract. I mean, I think
we magicalize things. We all feel worthless a lot of
the time because we're making change and we're not equipped
for that next step of doing something. But we you know,

(01:06:57):
we get those abilities and intuition can help us do that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
So say, just for instancece Brad Pitt has had such
a lovely thing about you. Could I just a person
over here who's never met him, and I don't want
to call on Brad Pitt. Well can I like, if
I spend enough of my time focusing, could I somehow
call him into my life.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Maybe, But they're probably a couple million other people who
are doing the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
So you can call on an energy field, right, Is
that what you're calling in?

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
No, you're you're actually making a connection. But the thing is,
if I connected with every person who thinks intuition of
the devil, I'd be crushed a lot just go through you.
You know a lot of people are. That's why with telepathy,
if there's a specific person, you need to do it

(01:07:51):
very very very very consistently. But someone like a celebrity,
there are probably millions of people who are doing it,
so your voice gets drowned out, you know, in a
crowd you want, and that's where you use intuition to
target appropriately.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Okay, okay, okay, So actually the amount of energy coming
at someone makes a big difference.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
Well yeah, yeah. You know. Part of what I do
in How to Rule the World from your couch is
we learn to be sieves. We learned to selectively uptake
what it is we need. So if a celebrity needs
what it is you have to offer, and a million
other people aren't offering the same thing, there's a chance

(01:08:35):
that it would make a connection, and that that that
energetically you would find yourselves in the same place in
that conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
It's okay, it really you know, people.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Say, oh, wow, you're so open. Aren't you overwhelmed by
the intuitive energy when you walk in a room. Absolutely not.
I'm like a sieve. You run it through me and
right out of me. Am I overwhelmed? If my husband
is annoyed at me, even if he's three states away,
oh my god, I'm I'm I'm I'm shattered. Or if

(01:09:11):
my son's disappointed in me or doing something you shouldn't
be doing, shattered that everyone else is no, not really,
you know, okay, it's not my monkeys. It goes right
through you. That's why being intentional is so important. You know,
you want to say, what is my community, what's my family?

(01:09:32):
What's my field? Where do I want to connect with?
Uh with resources? Who do I want to have hear
my voice? How do I want them to respond? What
is my goal? You know? In anything like today, with
this conversation, I didn't have a goal. I wanted to

(01:09:52):
enjoy myself.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
I hope you're reading my mind. Do we telepathy because
I was just about to go here too. Is that
how happens or no?

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
People do? People in conversation tend to have another conversation
that's going on telepathically, which is why it's really important.
Like if you're a snarky, judgmental person, for example, it's
really important to deal with that because someone's hearing that.
If you're an overly accepting person and you're trying to
look tough, important to deal with that because we're always

(01:10:24):
having the conversation we're actually having and the conversation that's
going on energetically telepathically, and ideally those are incoherence. Ideally,
like on a show like this, when we get together,
it's how can I serve you? How can you serve me?
How can we serve the public together in the best

(01:10:47):
possible way? And so already we have a connection, we
have a goal. And it's interesting because I tend to
have very long relationships with people who have interviewed me,
because I've been in there sitting with them for an hour,
and they've been in me, and we tend to do
things together. There's one woman who's coming in who interviewed

(01:11:09):
me last night to New York. I'm having tea with
her on Saturday. I think with her sister. You know,
we tend to and we have to remember we actually
have access to families and communities that we don't allow
ourselves to be aware of.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Okay, So that's amazing, Laura.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
So thank give me one second because aunt believe I
have so sorry. I expected this to be an hour,
and I just want to make sure that I am.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Let's wrap up. It's eleven thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
Oh wait a sec. Guys, those of you who were
born after the nineteen eighties, this is called a calendar. People. Actually,
I'm okay, actually people actually right in me writing done
with pens or pencils. No, I'm using you. I'm not.
I would love to know how to do all the

(01:12:10):
stuff you guys do. But I love I love the agenda,
love accountar.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
I love to say it. I have one on my
wall that I write it all down. Okay, but I
have a quick question that I want to ask you
before I lose it, because you're one of those people
that I talk to and I'm like, oh my gosh,
my brain's exploding, like because you're just like giving me
all this like incredible now in the books. I'm going
to do it all. I'm going to do like a
workshop because I'm a much.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Better writer than I am a speaker, and I'm a
much better teacher than i am a speaker. And one
of the things so my goal and one of the
reasons that I'm doing podcasts is I love I love
to teach. I love to train people to do this
in the world. It's useful in business, it is the
most useful form of coaching. I firmly believe that. Of

(01:12:54):
course I'm biased, and I really want to train the
intuitive coaches of the future.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Business, for education, for medicine, and the fact that you're
giving tools to do it is so crucial because, like
we need, it's spelled out, like you said in proof
that this works, so regular people can apply it to
their life.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
And that's what I was going to ask you before
I forget. I want to ask you since we didn't
know each other, but we came together here in this moment.
Is it because my intuition is reaching out to people
like you because I have this same shared goal that
I want this win win situation where we both can
use our gifts to have this amazing conversation and then
share it. Is that why we came together.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Your goal is probably to give something to your listener
that they can use. Yes, that's your goal for your show.
May not be your goal for your life, but for
your show, your target is probably what can I use
that all so my listener can use? Because I use it,
then I'm going to be bored by it. You know.

(01:14:04):
It's like being seated next to someone at dinner and
having to try to think of something to talk to
them for an hour about off. So that's your goal.
My goal is that I think this is a useful tool,
and it's also something I do well, which is fun
for me. I'd hate to teach something I do badly,

(01:14:24):
and I want to share. I want to get people
excited about this in ethical ways, because I do think
magicalizing these things the whole click your heels and you're
in Kansas, you know, don't look at this or you'll
become it. The magicalizing of these abilities is a multi

(01:14:47):
billion dollar industry, and it's a dangerous one, you know.
I really it's if we as individuals feel empowered to
help ourselves, to help each other, and to be of
value in our communities. I think people will bring fewer
guns to school.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
So why do you think this industry, the multi billion
like spiritualized industry, is a dangerous one, Because what's the danger?

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I think promises magic, okay, and it problems. You know,
life is magic, but we create it. We are the magicians.
And I think that it sells a lot of tools
that are that they sell us absolutes and that appear
not to take work. They just happen because you want

(01:15:35):
them to. And the reality is I do a lot
of laying on of hands. I actually go across the
country and do a lot of free events where I
do laying on of hands on eight hundred people a night,
and I am I have observed that hands on healing works.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
What happens in hands on healing.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
It's a whole other show.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
But is your energy transferring.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
It's the group energy through me transferring to it. But
I've also noticed that penicillin works for strap. I've also
noticed that chemotherapy can work, and surgery can work. And
I think that what a lot of different industries. I mean,
I think it's just as dangerous that medicine doesn't has

(01:16:22):
taken so long to integrate the fact that the mind
and how you feel is part of how your body defends,
and that community is a better indicator of survival in
older people than smoking, weight and a lot of other factors,
like when we begin to monetize something, we also have

(01:16:46):
to be very careful to be ethical with it. And
I think that a lot of different industries, not just
the spirituality industry, has forgotten that obligation. So they become
purest and they make it easier and make it the
way you are, the way what works for you is
what you should be doing, and if it stops working,

(01:17:07):
you should look further or add something to it. You know,
I don't tend to, you know, if I have an
earache and it's beginning to be infected, I don't tend
to take an antibiotic as my first resort. But when
my doctor says, hey, it's a full blown infection, now

(01:17:28):
the healing keep it up, but a little amosiscillin might help,
I take that prescription. And so encouraging people only to
do one good thing and charging them a lot for it,
but to discount all the other wonderful things in medicine
and psychology in using their mind and regulating their breath

(01:17:52):
and all these other things. As practitioners, as healers, as
self help people, as you know, broadcasters, we want to
give to people what empowers them to do the best,
be the best, feel the best, share the most. And
I think that that becomes very dangerous when an industry

(01:18:15):
is so lucrative.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
I just want to follow you around and just like
be in your presence and pick up information by osmosis,
Like you're one of those people that like I just
want to like see how you live your life and
just take it in and subconsciously let it like reprogram
my brain. Because just having this conversation with you and
just like the awareness you gave me about telepathy today,
I'm like, oh my god, I don't think I'm not

(01:18:38):
ordering your books the second we hang up this Carly
is all.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
It's literally all in my books. And of course if
I followed you around, I would learn so much too.
I mean that's the whole point. I think we have
kind of created a world, and I know, you know,
I work a lot in Hollywood, and it is certainly
that way. In Hollywood. We've created a world of somebody
and nobody's and there are oh nobody's we're all somebody's

(01:19:02):
and we all have a lot to teach each other.
And if you go about life with what can I
learn from this person and learn it, you have a
much more solid life. I mean, I had my housekeeper
show me how she what does she do when she

(01:19:24):
walks in in the morning, because literally, on a Sunday,
I don't have a housekeeper Saturday and Sunday. By Sunday night,
my house used to look like a disaster, like FEMA
housing in a disaster zone. And she showed me, and
it was a system. And when I learned the system,
I'll never be as good as she is, because she's amazing.

(01:19:47):
But when I learned the system, I was able to
experience my environment in a way that allowed me to
have someone over Sunday morning for coffee, because before my house,
there's no way I would have invited someone. And that
ordered other things in my life. I began to order

(01:20:07):
my purse, it began to order the way I edit
my books.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
You could apply it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
You can apply it and maybe apply it in ways
she didn't, you know, But.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
We all have something to share in, something to learn,
and everybody matters, everyone's valuable, there's every situation. And so
if we end up in a situation, say like you
and your housekeeper, did your energies draw each other together
because y'all were connecting kind of like how you explain
how you and I have different goals but we align.
Like do you kind of end up with people in

(01:20:38):
all the walks of life that you get in your
personal community because there's something that you are drawn to
or you're connecting with. I don't know I'm saying that
correctly sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
But sometimes what you're connecting to is you know, the
narcissistic parent who raised you, and so you draw those
people in. I mean that's why both intuition and just consciousness,
you know, learning about yourself questioning is so important because
we tend just because you draw something to you doesn't

(01:21:08):
mean that that's a good thing for you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
Right, Because what if you draw some one to you
and you're like, is this a reflection of me? Because
I don't want to have this person in my life?
Like does that mean you need to examine what that
person is and then examine that part in yourself that's
not healed.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
Or you you know, there's so many different ways to
go about it. Yes and no, you can also you
can also set a goal and then notice who you
notice when you set that goal, and notice the difference.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Like, what do you mean? What notice who you notice?

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
So, for example, when I was so, I was single
at fifty and that my very disturbed parenting when I
was a child drew me to the same kind of people,
really interesting people, but the same kind of people over
and over. Not the best relationships or not the best

(01:22:00):
relationships for me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
And I.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Noticed that I kept getting into the same relationships that
kind of looked different from the outside but really were
the same one And so I handed my two best
girlfriends in assignment, who had long marriages to good men,
I said, set me up with men that you've known

(01:22:27):
for at least ten years, you know. And I had
all these things like good to their ex wives, they
had to have been married, they had to have children
because a totally devoted mother, even though my son at
thirty has no interest in that devotion anymore. And I
put myself in situations where I only went out with

(01:22:48):
those people who initially I really found very uninteresting. They
didn't resemble.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
All this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
Yeah, I looked at what do people who have good
relationships do? Well? They give people a chance, and so
I had a three date rule. I put in a
three date rule. If someone asked me out three times,
I would go three times. I put in a one
kiss rule because there's something about just touching somebody's lips,
even you know, if it's not like a horrible thing,

(01:23:20):
like just you know, like I did, I did things
that put me in a situation of allowing me to
experience something different than I knew. And that is how
I found what my students, the person my students refer
to as delicious Stephen.

Speaker 2 (01:23:40):
Aurrah. Oh my god, I could talk to you all day,
but I'm going to wrap up, Becau. I'm sure you
have other things to do, but I am going to
stay in your orbit, in your universe. I'm ordering your books,
I'm following you like I just I need you in
my life because this was so fascinating. I love what
you've devoted your life to and your curiosity to. It's incredible.
I'm going to wrap up with my last question, leave
your light, which I always ask, what do you want

(01:24:02):
people to know? It's just super open ended.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
I want people to know that no matter what this
moment looks and feels like, even if you think you've
ruined your life, you've lost the only relationship you love,
you lost your home, whatever Greek tragedy you can come
up with for the moment. The next moments you decide

(01:24:32):
the next moment. So when you act on what you
can do in this moment, it's such an act of courage.
It's an incredible act of creation. If you saw an
egg and sperm, you'd say, what those nasty little things
become this? Become that? So the next moment you choose

(01:24:59):
what that next moment is. Keep choosing for yourself, but
one foot in front of the other, and you will
get somewhere safe, somewhere wonderful, and while growing into someone
that you really love. In respect. It is courageous work,
the work of being human.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
Love that. Lara Day Okay, everyone where can we follow you?
