(01:11):
eye out for my blog at soul Sarching Zone dot
com slash blog so that you can receive the bonus
that I'm going to be sharing specifically for the listeners
of today's podcasts. I've created a tool for you, so
I will announce at the end where to go so
that you can get that. Let's go ahead and get started.

(01:34):
Key number one A message to the spiritual community. In
times like these, there are truly no words that can
appropriately describe the grief, fear, and sheer panic that many
of us are holding in our hearts right now. We're experiencing,
from one day to the next, new devastating news that's

(01:55):
taking place in the United States. Many of us are
feeling like we are in an alternate universe as we
watch as our basic human rights and the basic human
rights of the people that we love are being challenged
in the worst possible ways. Those of us that are
on a spiritual path and in the metaphysical community feel
a deep calling, a yearning to understand what we can

(02:18):
do and how we can help. We are in paths.
We are the sensitive souls, deeply connected to the collective consciousness.
We feel the suffering of our communities, and we refuse
to turn a blind eye. It's easy to feel overwhelmed,
and it's easy to be paralyzed by fear for us
to retreat into a doom scrolling frenzy. But I genuinely

(02:42):
believe that our connection to source, to all that is,
calls us not to escape, but to engage with compassion, wisdom,
and purpose. We are not powerless in the face of
these challenges. Our unique understanding of enter connectedness, our ability
to to quiet the mind and listen for guidance from

(03:02):
a higher power. These are spiritual gifts, strengths that we
can share with others. We may not all be politicians
or activists, and many of us feel lost when it
comes to the intricacies of government, but that doesn't diminish
the value of our contribution the power of our voice.

(03:24):
So if you're called to activism right now, it's because
you're aligned with that path and that is a beautiful
gift and we need you to share it. But if
you're feeling lost, just know that each person's contributions in
times like this is vastly different and equally important. If
you're a caregiver like myself cancer moon here, then you

(03:47):
might be called to extend your nurturing abilities by creating
safe spaces where love and compassion radiate, share resources, build
supportive communities, we can each discover our unique gifts and
put them to use for greater good. If you're a storyteller,
start a blog that inspires and uplifts and unites. If
you're an inventor, create something that makes life easier for

(04:10):
others right now. If you have a hobby, teach it
to others. If you have resources to share, share those resources.
Help people find joy and solace during distressing times. One
of the messages that I keep receiving from my higher self,
from source is that what we need right now is

(04:32):
each other. We need every single person to do what
they do naturally, but with an even greater intention, expanding
the reach of their gifts to everyone who might need them.
Perhaps you're a teacher or a childcare provider, both absolute
treasures and times like these, find a way to do

(04:52):
what you are called to do, but this time ask
the question, how can I be of service to others
around me? This is how we find connection. This is
how we hold on to faith by offering our unique
gifts to the world, by supporting one another, and by
remembering that even in the darkest times, the light of

(05:12):
human connection can and will shine through. Key number two
understanding the bigger picture. From a spiritual perspective. From a
metaphysical perspective, we understand that everything is energy. The chaos
that we see in the external world is a reflection
of the shadow within the collective consciousness. Fear, anger, hate, racism, greed,

(05:38):
and the pursuit of power create an energetic ripple that
manifests as conflict and oppression. A dear friend of mine
recently reminded me that this energy, while it is currently magnified,
has always been here on this planet. Source revealed to
me through prayer and meditation that we are in a

(05:59):
collective tower by tower moment. I'm referencing the Tarot card.
This is an energy that represents an old energy that
Earth can no longer sustain. It is outdated. It's an
outdated way of being, and as a collective, we have
outgrown it. This energy is dying away and it's making

(06:22):
way for a new path, a new way, causing old
systems to collapse so new foundations can emerge, and we're
experiencing that right now, and it's scary. We can greatly
assist with this energetic shift by remembering that when our thoughts, emotions,
and intentions are in harmony. They align and powerfully shape

(06:45):
our reality. This conscious alignment empowers us to influence even
the most challenging situations, but first on its spiritual plane,
and then we will see it manifest on the physical plane.
So please do not underestimate the power of prayer. Prayer
is directing energy through source and surrendering and aligning with

(07:08):
the divine will. We are not in this alone. There
is a higher power that works through us and with
us to create miracles. We are not passive observers, We
are active co creators, co creating with Source. I have
so many examples of the power of prayer. I want
to share a story about the power of prayer, especially

(07:30):
in difficult times. So in my area back in twenty twenty,
our downtown area was experiencing riots and break ins and
our local businesses were paying the price. It was heartbreaking,
and at this particular part of the city, it was
really special to me and a dear friend of mine
who was also an amazing healer. We had a lot

(07:52):
of memories, We spent a lot of time there. The
rioting had been going on for days and things were
starting to get worse. We were both upset about it,
as I'm sure many many people around us were, and
we decided we got very very strong guidance to work
together to send healing energy in prayer to that area.

(08:12):
So we did. We prayed together and pictured a giant,
beautiful blanket of unconditional love energy covering the whole area.
We held that image for a little while, and then
something amazing happened. In the middle of the night. The
writers just left and the very next day it was
all over, just like that. Now, some people might say

(08:34):
it was just a coincidence, but I've experienced this way
too many times to count, and for me, it's just
a reminder of the incredible power of prayer and the
importance of holding faith even when things look and feel hopeless.
So remember to use your spiritual tools, remember to use

(08:55):
your visualization to center in your heart to radiate peaceful
energy as much as you can, while also working through
any fear or sadness that you are experiencing at this time,
because that is the power of being alike for others.
As you work through everything that you're feeling on an

(09:18):
energetic level and you clear it and you radiate a
higher vibration, that is how we can help each other
in the world around us. Key number three practical action
steps for the spiritual community. So what can we do?
How can we as a spiritual community translate our understanding

(09:39):
our spiritual gifts into meaningful action. Here are some practical
steps that we can take. Number one self care and
energy maintenance. Now, I know that this seems counterintuitive, but
trust me, when the world is in chaos, it is
absolutely essential for you to take care of yourself as

(10:00):
much as you can. Spear gave me the metaphor of
trying to help people on a boat that is sinking.
You cannot assist them by joining them on their boat,
but you can, however, maintain your own boat so that
when the timing is right before you, you can be
of assistance to the ones on the sinking boat. For
right now, use that feeling of overwhelm as a guidepost

(10:25):
for self care. Take a step back from anything and
everything that's causing you to spin your wheels, get out
of your head and come back into balance. You can
move your body, take walks, drink lots of water, make
time for prayer, meditation, grounding, centering, eat clean, do anything

(10:49):
that helps you go with them and become present so
that you can be in tune with any guidance that's
trying to come through for you. Number two, engage in
conscious active activism. Doesn't always mean marching in the streets,
though that can be powerful too. It can mean writing
letters to your representatives, signing petitions, donating to organizations supporting

(11:12):
human rights, or simply having respectful conversations with people who
hold different views. Choose actions that align with your values
and capacity. Every action, no matter how small, can make
a difference. Remember that everything you do has a rippling effect.

(11:32):
Number three. Share your gifts. Bring together all of your values,
all of your passions, strengths, and gifts, and allow yourself
to find a way to share them with others. Even
if you're thinking who am I or what do I
have to help At a time like this, you need

(11:53):
to understand that you're limiting yourself from being a vessel
for the greater good. In your mind and trust and
believe in yourself and your guidance. Number four, we can
support organizations that are making a difference. Many organizations are
working tirelessly to protect human rights around the world. You

(12:17):
can donate your time, your money, or resources to support
their efforts. Make sure you research organizations carefully to ensure
that they're aligned with your values and that they're making
a tangible impact. Number five, practice compassion, which I'm sure
you will already do, But at a time like this,

(12:39):
we find ourselves just drowning and spending in everything that
we're feeling. And when we come back to our center,
we can remember that the people around us are experiencing shock, fear,
and confusion. So if you know someone that is needing
support in regards to something that is happening to them

(13:02):
or around them, and you can help in any way
that feels guided and feels balanced, heed that guidance when
it feels good, because source, God and the universe always
uses open hearted people as a vessel to perform miracles
for other people. Remember that number six, This is a

(13:23):
big one. Hold the vision and therefore holding the vibration
of the vision of the world you want to live in.
Remember the power of consciousness and understand that right now
we are choosing the earth that we want to build

(13:45):
from this moment forward. We are choosing the earth that
we want to live in from this moment forward, through
our vibration, through what we are focusing on, and through
our visualization. So visualize a world where human rights are respected,
where justice prevails, and where all human beings are treated

(14:08):
with dignity and compassion. Hold this vision in your heart
and let it guide your actions. We're living in a
pivotal moment in human history right now. As humanitarians who
deeply care about the world that we live in and
the people who live in it, we have a responsibility
to use our gifts and talents to create a more

(14:30):
loving and compassionate world. As healers, intuitives, and energy workers,
let us remember that we live in a multi dimensional
universe and it is not our job to try and
predict the future, because sometimes that can actually lead to
creating the future we think we see. Instead, we should

(14:52):
vow to powerfully and collectively create the future we want
to see by envisioning it with complete and total, on
wavering faith. Then allow divine guidance to speak to you
directly through your intuition for the next right action steps.
Let us have the courage to speak our truths to

(15:15):
create positive change and to build communities that value and
support everyone. We are light workers, we are the healers,
We're the change makers, and together we can make a difference.
