Welcome to the We Are Already Free podcast here to support and help free DownToEarth

in embodying their truth and being the change.

It's for anyone who's kind of done with

that old paradigm of focusing on all the things that are wrong and all the things

that we can't change, giving all our energy and time to that and anyone who's

ready to really embody the change and to live their truth.

This is for you.

This is the 10th episode of this podcast and I recently learnt that most podcasts,

something like 90 plus percent fail before their 10th episode.

So I feel like this is a really beautiful milestone and I'm just going to jump right

into it because this is a different kind of episode, it's very vulnerable.

I feel quite nervous about sharing this

and I also feel like it's absolutely appropriate and it's how I've always

attempted to show up in the best way possible.

So what this is about is basically helping me to help you.

So We Are Already Free is this podcast that is in service to this great change.

We are all navigating.

I am Nathan Maingard, as you'll know if

you've listened to previous episodes and I just want to share really candidly and

really openly where I'm at in this moment and how I'd like to ask for your support

and really your support in supporting yourself, which is how this all works.

We are all just the mirror that is reflecting itself.

And so I hope that this all connects in

the way that my intention is aligned with just one of abundance and one of joy and

gratitude that I even get to have this conversation with you.

So basically, on a very practical level, this podcast takes around 10 hours of real

loving, deep labor per episode and it doesn't pay anything at this point.

And I know that with podcasting that eventually I could look at affiliate

marketing and sponsorships and all these other wonderful ways.

And so the reason I'm speaking with you today is because I have dedicated the last

year plus to really skilling myself up to getting the skills of breathwork.

Facilitator. Personal pro coach.

Learning all these new skills.

Really wanting to be in service to We Are Already Free.

To the remembrance. To this mantra.

To this prayer and this actualization.

And to any of you who are on this path.

And I'm having the great joy of working with one to one clients.

I'm just loving it.

It's an amazing experience and at the same

time I'm experiencing this old story in my life of scarcity of finances.

So I'm looking at ways now that I can help you to help me while helping yourself.

And so really this podcast episode is just an ask.

As beautiful Amanda Palmer says, the art of asking.

It's the same feeling that I had when I was a busker in London playing under

bridges and on the side of roads in Camden Town next to the Riverside.

Playing music with my guitar case out and

just trusting that if I provided something that was beautiful.

Something that I cared about.

Something I had passion for.

That other people would hear that and feel that.

And it would connect with some beautiful part of them and they would pay me for it.

And that's what happened.

And that's what I would like to invite for this podcast episode.

So basically what I've done is that if you go to my page at Alreadyfree Me

Connect, you will find ways to support me while supporting yourself.

And what that means, practically, is that I'm doing a live online breath work

session and I'll be doing those occasionally or consistently.

So that's breath work that can help to calm your nervous system to connect into

the present moment, healing, feeling, growing.

I think breath work is probably one of the best things I found for really connecting

to the present and connecting to my sovereignty in this moment.

And that will also include some Healing Heart songs and stories because I'm sure

you know that humans are really story oriented in how we meet life.

So if we tell better stories and listen to better stories, stories that empower us,

our whole life changes, the whole experience of the world changes.

So I'm offering that as well as my five day morning practice challenge.

If you don't have a consistent morning routine, it is an unbelievably powerful

and unbelievably powerful way to transform your life.

There's a beautiful saying how we spend

our days is of course, how we spend our lives.

And I've discovered that how I spend my morning is generally how I spend my day.

So this is a really basic it's like a mini course that will help you to set up or

restart a very simple, very basic morning practice that will then set you up for the

rest of the day and so the rest of your life.

That's also available at that link.

And you can also, if you so desire, become one of the ongoing members.

So basically, with the morning practice

challenge, it's hosted on a new community platform.

That is the we are already free Academy.

Basically a place that I'm envisioning

that everyone who loves listening to this podcast and everyone who's connected with

my poetry and my songs and all of these messages that are coming through and would

like to connect with other people around the world, to feel, heal and grow

together, to practice our sovereignty, to practice really showing up.

What does that mean?

Conscious communication, breath work, morning practices, focusing on what we can

change, what we can embody inside of ourselves, making peace inside of

ourselves, and trusting that through that, the whole world changes.

So I'm creating this community platform, which is where the challenge is hosted.

So you can either just buy the challenge for a one soft price.

The Morning Practice Challenge.

Or you can join the community for a kind of pioneer member subscription.

Which is just going to be limited to the

first sort of 30 or so people who join at that level.

And that'll get you access to the live events.

To any courses that I create in the future.

To the community chat rooms. Et cetera.

And again, as I've said before, you will

be supporting this podcast directly because, as you know, it takes a lot of

time, it takes a lot of effort, and I love doing it.

And I'm realizing it's really important that I ask for support in this moment

because I've got my beautiful lady Carly and this piece of land that we're working

on, and I really have this feeling of, wow, I do enjoy giving so much.

And I feel the old wound of just wanting to give and give and give so that

everyone's like, oh, Nathan's a lovely guy.

What a nice guy Nathan is.

Meanwhile, I'm over here being like, I don't know how to afford the next month.

And I'm saying that really with the likeness of heart.

I don't feel like a victim here.

I feel empowered.

I feel excited that I get to share this

message that we are already free, that literally, we can choose where to put our

energy and our resources to grow more of the world that we believe in together.

I mean, what a phenomenal experience.

And then the final thing that you'll find on that page is a link to a free one to

one discovery call, a discovery session with me.

As you may or may not know, I work as an intuitive transformational guide.

I have counseling experience, I have a certification as a pro personal coach, as

well as my breath work facilitation, as well as just a lifetime of being deeply

empathetic and deeply feeling in this reality that we're in.

And the feedback from all my clients so far has been amazing.

So if you are one of them, thank you for beautiful work with me.

It's such an honor to watch you blossom and transform.

I've just got back from a weekend away.

I cofacilitated a breath work retreat at

Bodhikaya Nature Retreat Center here in South Africa and the 16 beautiful people

who came, and my cofacilitator and organizer, Olivia Moon.

It was a reminder of the fact that when we

come together and open our hearts and breathe together and laugh and cry and get

in the water and eat good food and really just sink into the present moment and

allow the present moment to fully emanate through us.

To resonate as we realize that this whole existence that we're having is music.

Is that we are alive in the song of life.

It is the deepest medicine.

I felt just complete expansion in that space, and that's what's inspired me to

ask for help, is to realize I'm not alone and I don't have to pretend I don't have

to pretend to be some guy who's got my story all together.

And I know how to talk to your pain points so that you sign up.

And I'm just talking from my heart to your heart.

And if you feel it, take action.

So again, one more time already, free me.

Connect that's, connect.

And I look forward to connecting with you further.

We have beautiful guests lined up on this podcast back to normal as always, every

week, just sharing this love and this joy with the world.

So thank you.

Wherever you are, whoever you are, however you are.

Blessings on the path.

I'll see you in the next episode, and hopefully I'll see you really soon in one

of the other places, in one of the other sharings.
