1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:13,080 Karen Kenney: Hey you guys. Welcome to the Karen Kenney show. I am just absolutely delighted, just delighted to be here with you today. So thank you so much for tuning 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:22,700 in. It's been a while since I've introduced myself. I think many of you who listen to the show, if you're a loyal listener, Hi, welcome back. I'm so happy you're here, but 3 00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:32,360 if you're new to the show, maybe somebody recommended the show, or pointed you in my direction, or you stumbled across me somehow. And if you're here and you're like, 4 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:47,680 Who's this broad who? Who is this pregnant lady? Uh, let me just say hi. So I'm Karen Kenney. Most people call me Kay Special K, sweetie. I don't know some other version of 5 00:00:47,680 --> 00:01:00,240 that, but I don't even know sometimes how to introduce myself. I mean, I think I'm of myself mostly as a writer and a storyteller, for sure. I'm also a speaker. I am a 6 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:13,320 spiritual mentor. I am a yoga teacher. I'm a gateless writing instructor. I do Thai Yoga massage. I'm a hypnotist, I'm a change worker, I'm a life coach. Blah, blah, blah, 7 00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:24,800 blah, blah. I do a lot of things, and here on this podcast, what I do is I basically bring all the pots of me to you. I just show up. Use some personal storytelling and some 8 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:34,280 universal spiritual principles that hopefully help you to maybe think about something differently, to look at the world differently, to look at yourself 9 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:45,580 differently, right? This is just a podcast where I try to spread a little more love in the world. I kind of think of myself is like Mr. Rogers for adults, in a way. I mean, we 10 00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:52,840 could never, ever, ever replace Mr. Rogers, but just kind of that vibe, right? And if you see in the background, if you're watching this, you can see my little Bob 11 00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:01,980 Ross over there, little Mr. Bob Ross with this little paint brush and palette. So these were some of my my heroes. And I just think, man, the world needs a little bit 12 00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:12,960 more kindness, but we also need a little bit more help, don't we? There's so much that I marvel at that we were not taught as children, whether it was in our homes or 13 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:24,080 whether it was at school or from our families of origin or whatever. And you know, we're taught a lot about a lot of things that, on some level, don't really 14 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:36,440 matter. And the one thing we're not really taught, many of us, is really how to know ourselves and how to love ourselves and to be kind to ourselves. And we don't always 15 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:45,160 really know like how we tick and how we work. And what are some tools we could use, you know, to help ourselves as we navigate this whole human experience. So that's kind 16 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:57,220 of like what the show is about in some once in a blue moon, I have a guest, but mostly you're just stuck with me solo. So if you find yourself here, hi, okay, this episode, 17 00:02:57,220 --> 00:03:07,200 let's dive right into this thing. I think I'm going to call it head, Hot Hands head, and I'm tapping my forehead, hat. I'm tapping my chest right. And hands, I'm 18 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:19,380 wicked in chest. Hands, I'm wicked in my fingers, right. Head, hot hands. Now, why I wanted to talk about this is because so much of the work that I do is around change work, 19 00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:31,340 right? It's taking a look at whether it's a way of thinking, right, wanting to like, maybe shift our perception from fear to love. Maybe it's about wanting to change a 20 00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:41,140 belief or an old story that we've been carrying around that's not really serving us anymore. A lot of what I do is transformational or changing life, changing 21 00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:55,120 work, right? And so often what people will hear people say is, they'll say, I want to change X, Y and Z, or I need to stop X, Y and Z, right? I have this habit, or I have 22 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:05,040 this pattern, or I have this thing that I do. And a lot of times, people try to change from the outside in. They look at their external circumstances and their external 23 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:16,980 behaviors like, oh, I need to stop eating late at night, or oh I need to start going to the gym more, or oh, I need to whatever. And they're really trying to start at the 24 00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:28,340 level of the behavior. And they try to start there and work their way backwards and so often, if we try to start at the level of the behavior, like what, what I would say 25 00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:40,360 your hands are doing, right, if we try to start there, a lot of times we fail, because a lot of times why we're doing what we're doing is not only because we have 26 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:51,820 subconscious patterns. Yes, that's a huge thing, right? It's like part of the ways that the brain tries to keep you safe is by keeping you in the familiar, okay, but it's 27 00:04:51,820 --> 00:05:05,820 also that we like to stay in the association of the identity. That we've created for ourselves. So a lot of times we try to change something out here, out here in the 28 00:05:05,820 --> 00:05:18,720 world, right? I'm doing kind of like with my hands, like out here the external but really we have to start on the internal stuff. And this is like the head in the hat. And one of 29 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:33,020 the things that I often will think about is, if your head and your hat are in alignment, the hands will follow. If your head and your hat are in alignment, your hands will 30 00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:47,500 follow. So if your head in your hat, believe it, your hands will go ahead and do it right. So we can't skip over like the internal work first, and so often we might 31 00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:57,040 be in a situation where we're in pain, we're already suffering. And I don't mean just like physical pain. I mean like the thing that we're doing, whatever these things that 32 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:08,460 we've been choosing to do, whether it's a habit, an addiction, a pattern of whatever you've been doing, right that's been getting you in trouble, or screwing up your 33 00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:17,100 relationship, or making your marriage not be that great, or maybe you're doing some shady shit in your business. Or maybe there's like, just like you're doing some things 34 00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:24,860 like putting food in your mouth, or, you know, doing certain things that are not great for your health or whatever it might be. You know, a lot of times we we try to, 35 00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:36,320 like, start there, and we'll fail because we haven't first shifted or change the way that we're thinking about of a thing and the way we actually feel, and I'm tapping my hat 36 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:51,640 again, the way that we feel about a thing, so how we think and how we feel is always going to affect how we will act and if we are holding on to an old identity, right? 37 00:06:51,640 --> 00:07:00,480 One of the things that I often say is like smoke is going to smoke. You know what I think it's like, if you identify as a smoker, you're going to smoke. If you don't 38 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:10,560 identify as a smoker, then you tend not to smoke. If you don't identify as somebody who drinks, if you're a quote, unquote, non drinker, then you're probably not going to 39 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:18,540 be stopping by the packing and getting, like, a six pack. You know what? I mean? You're not going to be like, grabbing a couple of boxes or bottles of wine if you're 40 00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:29,060 a non drinker, unless you're going to a potty, and you're bringing a gift or something like that, right? So if we change our mind first, right? Change our mind 41 00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:40,220 first. Change our heart. Listen to what, listen to how we feel like. Check in with how we feel. Check in with the quality of our thoughts first. And do some work there 42 00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:49,420 on that level, then the things in the external, the actions, the hands, you take care of the head and the hat, the hands are going to kind of take care of themselves. 43 00:07:49,540 --> 00:08:00,900 And let me just give you a little bit of an example, personally for me. So when I and I'll use actually, let me use a broader example. Let me use a broader example, but 44 00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:12,720 it also applies to me. In fact, my own story is going to be an example of exactly what, what Paramahansa Yogananda said. So Paramahansa Yogananda, he was a yogi, right? 45 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:24,140 He called him a guru or a teacher, or whatever you want to say. Not a huge fan of that word, but guru, but so he was a wise teacher from the East. He came over to 46 00:08:24,140 --> 00:08:36,260 America. He came over to the west, and he started teaching yoga to Americans. And I'm pretty sure he was in California, right most of the time. And when he was in California, 47 00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:46,180 it was around the time of like, people like, say, like the hippie generation, right? And there was a lot of like, drugs and alcohol and free will and sex and pottying and 48 00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:53,140 Woodstock, like, all the stuff was, I mean, Woodstock was on the east coast, but you know what I mean, a lot of the like, free love and all that stuff, right? Was 49 00:08:53,140 --> 00:09:03,240 happening. And a lot of like, you know, drugs and experimenting and all this stuff. And a lot of the people who were attracted to Paramahansa yoganandez, 50 00:09:04,980 --> 00:09:16,200 teachings on yoga and stuff like that. They would go to him, though, and they would push back, and they'd say, hey, you know, if I come and, like, learn from you and hang out 51 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:25,040 with you and spend time at the Self Realization fellowship or all these things, if I'm, if I'm doing these things, you know, if I'm quote, unquote, practicing, if I'm 52 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:35,240 trying to become a yogi, do I have to stop drinking? Do I stop have to stop smoking? You know, do I have to stop having sex? Do I have to stop eating animals? Do I have to 53 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:46,480 become vegetarian or vegan, or whatever? Because, remember, the first, the first tenant of yoga that first like that of the eight limbs of yoga, the first foundation is 54 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:58,720 what we call the yamas and the niyamas, and the very first Yama is called Ahimsa, which means non harm, compassion, non violence towards yourself and others, including 55 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:08,940 animals. Right? So? Like, the the whole foundation is, do not harm, do not kill. Like, be kind, be compassionate, right? So, you know, they would be like, do I have to 56 00:10:08,940 --> 00:10:19,800 stop, you know, eating, you know, eating animals is what they're really asking. And Paramahansa, Yogananda, was so wise, and what he would say to them is, no, you don't 57 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:31,580 have to stop doing those things, to like be a part of this fellowship, you know, to be a part of this spiritual community. And he said, right like later on, he said, because 58 00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:45,580 if you continue to do this, and if you start to like show up and actually practice and do these things, those things are going to naturally fall away. You won't have to feel 59 00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:59,560 like you're giving anything up. They will just naturally fall away. And I found this in myself, you know, when I first started practicing yoga and even teaching yoga, you 60 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:14,640 know, I was still power puffing cigarettes. I was a smoker. I was a smoker, you guys back in the day, but I was lucky enough that for whatever reason, whether it's my mind or 61 00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:23,840 the certain gene that I have, I don't know, is like, I was the kind of kid that, like, could smoke a pack a day, and then just wake up one day and decide that I was done, and I 62 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:31,280 would be done, right? But during this time, I would like, you know, I would like, teach a class, or, like, even go to the gym and, like, work out, and then I'd come out and 63 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:41,500 get in my car, and I would like, light up and, like, Power Puff. And it was like, What are you doing, right? So the more seriously, you know, I started to practice, and the 64 00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:52,360 more seriously I started to taking, you know, my role as a teacher, and diving more deeply into yoga, those things just naturally fell away. I stopped smoking 65 00:11:52,360 --> 00:12:01,200 cigarettes. I just stopped drinking. I just decided to be a non drinker. I'm like, This doesn't make any sense anymore. Eating Animals never if you really know me and know 66 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:10,680 how much I love animals, eating animals like murder, like participating in the suffering of animals for a meal, like none of that ever made any sense. But, you know, I'm a 67 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:19,080 little bit of a knucklehead sometimes, and we have cognitive dissonance, and that's a whole other show for another time. You know, we're hypnotized from a very young age. PS, 68 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:31,280 to eat animals, even though it's totally not who we really are, most of us, okay, so, but you know, and we're back. But here's the thing. Is that gradually, I always say 69 00:12:31,340 --> 00:12:41,440 gradually, but inevitably, if you're taking this practice seriously, yoga, those things will naturally start to fall away. So you don't have to feel like you're giving 70 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:51,220 anything up, or you're sacrificing, or you're, quote, unquote, having to do something. When the head and the hat come into alignment with love, when the head and 71 00:12:51,220 --> 00:12:59,560 the hat start to shift, the hands are going to follow. So you're not going to want to pick up the booze. You're not going to want to pick up the weed or the cigarettes or 72 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:10,200 whatever. You're not going to harm the animals anymore, right? And so that's just like one example. And I know that if you you know, probably have your own examples, like 73 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:21,200 you can look at your life and realize that when you all of a sudden, shifted something internally, and it might be the way that you think about another person. Maybe you 74 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:30,740 learned something about them. Maybe you heard a story. Maybe you became enlightened, right? The light turned on inside of you. You became more spiritually connected, and 75 00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:41,440 you realize, like, Oh, they're actually a lot like me. Like, oh, we're more alike than we are different. Or Oh, like, whatever, when we have to, when we start to have these 76 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:50,560 shifts in perception in our mind, when we start to tell different stories, better stories, when our hearts start to like, you know, our compassion and our empathy and our 77 00:13:50,560 --> 00:14:02,340 kindness starts to lead, your hands are going to follow. So you know, it's, it's, it's, there's nothing wrong with you know, I'm not wagging my finger at anybody or 78 00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:11,700 saying anything's wrong with just trying to, like, go cold turkey, because I cold turkey some things in my life right before I had tools, I would just try to use my willpower. 79 00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:19,620 I would try to, like, white knuckle shit and just be like, I'm just going to be like, nope, nope. I'm going to deny myself this thing, or I'm not going to do this anymore. 80 00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:29,240 I'm not going to do that anymore, and you're just really trying to use your sheer will, and you're really going against your subconscious mind and the contents of your 81 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:41,080 mind. And it's why a lot of diets fail. It's why a lot of I'm going to start saving money, fails, right? It's because people have not done the internal work first on the 82 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:53,920 level of the mind, level of the heart, so that we can pave an easier path for the hands, for the behavior to follow, and if we insist on trying to change the external 83 00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:03,900 first, it's not that you won't have any success. I'm not saying there aren't some people who can do it. I'm just saying. It can be a little bit easier when we start to 84 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:13,260 shift our mind and start to use our mind for the purpose that it was actually created for, which is love. PS, by the way, extending love, using the hat for what it 85 00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:23,720 was used for, which is to love, by the way, and for using our hands for what they were intended for, which is to love people, to help people, to serve people, you know what 86 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:35,600 I mean. So this whole body really is designed to be, I call it like a communication device. And it's one gig is to to set the dial to the radio station of 87 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:47,140 like, k, l, o, v, e, you know what I mean. So if you've been kind of bumping up against some changes that you've been trying to make, because you've been trying to, like, 88 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:57,580 drag yourself from the external behavior into, like, somehow magically, like, magical thinking, like, Oh yeah, I'm just gonna decide that I'm never gonna do X, Y and Z 89 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:07,620 again, even though I've been doing it for the past three years daily, or I've been doing this for 20 years, it's like good luck with that. And that's why a lot of times we 90 00:16:07,620 --> 00:16:17,640 need to and whether, however you get the help, it can be like hiring somebody like me who has a lot of tools in my tool kit, like, for you know, subconscious reprogramming, 91 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:28,160 spiritual mentoring, you know, somatic work, like with the body, like helping the body to feel, the nervous system to feel like safety and stuff like that, right? So, working on 92 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:35,960 the level of the conscious and the unconscious, working on the level of the hot, working on the level of, remember, emotional, physical, emotional, physical, 93 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:45,820 spiritual and mental, those four things getting get the mind, body and spirit on board. Get the hat on board, and the hands are going to follow. And so maybe this is 94 00:16:45,820 --> 00:16:56,380 just an opportunity to pause, you know, to look and see if there's something in your life that you've been trying to shift or change or or stop doing or start doing. 95 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:05,220 Whether it's with you, with you, your own relationship with yourself, maybe you've been wanting to, you know, start a meditation practice or create a DSP, a daily 96 00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:12,840 spiritual practice. Maybe you've been trying to do something on the physical level, whether, like I said, it's maybe like starting to walk every day, or commit to a 97 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:22,220 yoga practice, or rejoining the gym, or whatever the thing is, maybe you're one of those people that have been a member of Planet Fitness, paying them 1015, whatever, 98 00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:31,460 25 bucks a month for like he is. But you never go, and you're just like, What am I doing? Why can't I make myself go? It's a lot of times. It's because we're trying to 99 00:17:31,460 --> 00:17:41,440 do it first on the level of behavior, on the level of hands. But you haven't checked in with the head and with the hot because the brain is doing its own particular thing to 100 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:50,800 keep you safe and the hot might have some feelings and some beliefs about things. So there's one part of you that wants the change, and there's another part of you 101 00:17:50,800 --> 00:18:03,120 that's not ready until you bring those online into alignment. The assignment is alignment, I always say. And if we can start to align with the truth of who we are, if we 102 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:14,580 can, kind of, like, take some time to to go in and I understand, like, right now we're at a point in time, I think, where most people just feel kind of completely 103 00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:25,160 overwhelmed, and they're like, do I have to work on myself? The whole world's already a show it everything's already had, like, I have no energy. KK, I have no time. I have 104 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:37,940 no resources. And the one thing that I will say is, if we like the most important thing, and this is to me, and I'm not saying the most important thing in the world isn't your 105 00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:49,360 family, your friends, your children, caring for your animals or the environment. I don't mean it like that, but how those things get done, well or better, is by first us 106 00:18:50,380 --> 00:19:03,720 taking a look inside and making the appropriate changes there, and we're not making changes in transforming things because you're fucked up, need to be fixed 107 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:16,200 because you're broken, or whatever. That's not the case. You're not broken. You don't need to be fixed. So much of the work that that needs to be done or is really helpful 108 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:27,320 when we do it is more of an unlearning, because we are taught, right? We are taught as children. We learn a lot of things as kids. It gets programmed into us that isn't 109 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:38,720 actually that helpful later on in life. You know, these these survival strategies, these survival mechanism these patterns, these ways of thinking and seeing ourselves, these 110 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:52,960 identities that we create later on, they start to get in the way. We gotta check in every once in a while, you know? And this is why spiritual work is so important, and 111 00:19:52,960 --> 00:20:01,200 having a spiritual mentor can be so incredibly helpful, and so often, I don't think even people know what a spiritual mentor does. I can't speak for other 112 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:11,100 spiritual mentors. That's not my place to do that. I can only talk to you about like, how I approach things. And I know that having a daily spiritual practice is a really 113 00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:21,740 powerful thing, but there's a lot of different spiritual tools that you can use to me, working with yourself, on yourself, right? And I always say who you are as one 114 00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:30,500 of God's kids, like who you are as an extension of the universe, who you are is as part of the one cosmic consciousness is already perfect. But that's not what we're 115 00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:41,740 talking about. The things that we're working with or tweaking or shifting or changing, that's the that's the ego personality part. That's the part of you that like this 116 00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:56,020 persona that you've created in this lifetime, which is affected by where you grew up, who you grew up with, what your what, what your economic situation was like? 117 00:20:56,020 --> 00:21:04,800 Did you grow up with a lot of money? Did you grow up poor? Were you a blue collar kid? Were you like a wealthy kid? Did you have two parents at home? Did you have one parent 118 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:13,140 in jail? Did you have one parent dead? Did you have divorced parents? What kind of home, what kind of community, what kind of support was there? Was there food in your 119 00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:22,100 house? Wasn't there food were you food insecure? Did you, you know, like, were you molested as a kid? Were like, what? What's your ACE score, right? What? What's your 120 00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:33,860 what's your ACE score on that, that score of like, adverse childhood experiences like, check that out, right? So all those things kind of shape and mold who we believe 121 00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:46,360 ourselves to be. And if we try to, I always say, you cannot outperform your identity. You cannot outperform your identity. So if we're trying to do things at the hand level, 122 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:56,740 you might as well just white knuckle your hands or wring your hands, because it's a lot harder to try and change from the outside in than it is from the inside out. 123 00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:09,540 And I'm not saying that doing that work to shift your perception from fear to love, because we are so deeply patterned. We do believe so much of the bullshit that the ego 124 00:22:09,540 --> 00:22:23,600 tells us we you know, the voice, the voice for the inner teacher, the voice for love that is inside of us. It doesn't shout, man, you know, it whispers. It's quiet. It's not 125 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:34,520 forceful. It doesn't try to make you feel crazy or insecure or rushed. And so the voice for the ego, and of course, in miracles, we say the voice for the the voice 126 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:47,020 of the ego, it speaks first, and it speaks loudest. And I always say, and it's it's wrong. It's always wrong. And that is the voice of guilt and shame and blame and hurry 127 00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:57,820 up and desperation and scarcity and fear and you know, all that stuff. That voice, oftentimes, is not your friend, you know. And in this work, we're not trying to kill 128 00:22:57,820 --> 00:23:06,720 the ego. We all have an ego, or we wouldn't be like, doing the shit that we do, right? We need a certain amount of ego to kind of like, you know, survive and get around. But 129 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:16,560 this ego mind that is always just kind of like in A Course in Miracles, it's called, it's like a scavenger dog. The ego mind, it's like a scavenger dog. It's always 130 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:26,420 walking around looking for grievances. It's always looking around trying to to make guilt, guilt, guilt in your unhappiness and your suffering is like, is like, you know, 131 00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:33,080 when, when we were little, if you ever watched the Gremlins movie, and they would say, Don't feed the Gremlins, don't give them water, like after a certain time, 132 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:44,920 right? Because that's what happens. You know, the ego is like a little gremlin man, and it will grow exponentially off of your guilt, your shame, your suffering, your you 133 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:54,340 know, your superiority, like you're so much better than everybody else, but also it'll also grow on this idea that you're shittier than everybody else. You know what I mean, 134 00:23:54,340 --> 00:24:03,180 that you have it so much higher than everybody else, or, you know, keeping you in that victim loop is just like feeding the Gremlin, you know. So I hope this has been 135 00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:11,040 helpful in some way that it's got you thinking about like, maybe, what have you been trying to white knuckle? What have you been trying to force yourself to give up or 136 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:20,840 to fix or to change? And have you been trying to do it from the outside in? And if you're somebody who's ready to do it from the inside out, and you want some support 137 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:29,180 and help. You know, there's lots of different ways. If you're a local person, you can come to a yoga class of mine, right? But really, the way that I help people is 138 00:24:29,540 --> 00:24:38,960 through my group program, my group coaching program, which is the nest. It's my little spiritual community and membership. It's full of lovely people, and that's like a 139 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:47,320 monthly commitment. You start, you don't like it, you can always leave, but most people come and stay for years and years, right? They love the people in it. They love 140 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:55,060 the the resources that they get. They love the community and the connection and all the tools that they learn and all that stuff. And then there are some people who like to 141 00:24:55,060 --> 00:25:04,320 go deeper and like to work privately, and those are the people who join me for the. Quest, which is my one to one, spiritual mentoring. So if you're somebody who wants 142 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:14,460 to, you know, take a look inside, especially since out there is so fucking scary right now, right the external world that everybody wants to fix and change. Do you know how the 143 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:27,800 external world actually changes is when enough people get serious and start to do the internal work. Because first we have to shift in here. Because when the head and the 144 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:40,040 heart right, when the head and the heart get online, when the head and the hot, believe it, your hands will do it, and how you think and how you feel will affect how you act, 145 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:52,120 and if you change your mind and you listen to your hat first, right? That's how the the things on the level of form, the things on the level of our hands, our actions, our 146 00:25:52,120 --> 00:26:07,500 behaviors, will actually start to shift. So head hot hands, my friends. Thank you so much for tuning in. I appreciate you. I appreciate your time. I appreciate your you 147 00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:14,640 know, spending spending this, this time together, I know you could be doing a lot of other things in the fact that you turn this on, if you still hear in my voice right now, 148 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:23,420 thank you for sticking to the end and hanging out.

And it just made me think that, you know, there's a line 153 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:20,540 somewhere in the Bible, or one of the I don't know, I think it's in the Bible, but it's definitely a spiritual thing where we basically say, like, the divine has no hands 154 00:27:20,540 --> 00:27:32,840 but yours, no mouth but yours, no feet but yours, no no no hot or head but yours right. So to be in service, to be in service to our highest self, to be in service to our 155 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:44,260 highest good, to align our head, our heart and our hands with love, is an incredibly powerful thing to do. So just a little added tidbit there. All right, you guys have a 156 00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:49,600 great rest of like I said, your night or your day. So much love. From my heart to yours. Bye, bye.
