Good morning, Mel. Good morning, Beth.

Welcome to another episode of Soul

inspired you. It's been a little

moment since we. Last connected, Mel, our

busy time of year, isn't it? Isn't it? Everybody's doing all of the things, getting

all the things done so they can maybe relax a little bit more into

December. What kind of soul inspired things have you been

getting up to since we last connected?

Isn't it all Soul inspired? What kind of soul

inspired thing have I been getting up to? I'm very

excited because I have just launched Soul school, which is my

Akashic records training. And so I've been doing a lot of

reflection on the Akashic records and how

they've influenced me and how they've changed me and what

my story is with them and all of that. And, and interestingly,

some memories have also come up around

on my facebook and on my socials, and I think, goodness

me, like you can really see the difference or feel the difference between

the before and after for me.

And so for our listeners who may be not familiar with the Akashic records,

how would you explain that to somebody who is brand

new to. So it's the theory

that we have a book of our

soul, or more probably accurately,

this energetic stronghold that holds everything that us as

a soul has ever done, thought, been,

had, experienced, and

can understand it. That as we're having our thoughts and as we're experiencing

things through life, everything is remembered

or everything's contained. And this theory that everything exists

because it all exists in the, in this field of the Akashic records.

And before I had experienced them, I'd never heard

of them. And for me, what's important

about that is a few things. It's understanding that our past

does influence our present, actually quite

viscerally and in probably

more ways than we give credit to,

but also that we can use techniques to go

back into these memory banks and begin to bring

healing and change and a different understanding to things so that we

can show up differently and start to create this future

that's more inspired and soul aligned. I love

it. It's so juicy. Isn't it? Juicy?

Yeah, really juicy. Yeah. You know, for

me, it's my first

experience in the records really

started to shift things in my perception

of me, and I learned things about myself that

I had either denied or ignored or just

hadn't risen in my awareness. And that came through

some really good questioning, but through past life experiences of

who I had been and what I had experienced and what had happened

to me and the memories that I held around

certain things. Like, for example, I discovered a life

where I was a teacher. And I remember that

question coming with the guide that I was working with where she

said, find a life where you're a teacher. And I was like, why would I

do that? I'm not a teacher. Like, it didn't.

There was no connection there for me. And then when I found this life, and

it was so, at the time, it was

so weighted down by disappointment and

regret and shame and things that I had let

people down. And I work and all of this until I

had this experience where somebody I

taught in this life had come to me and told

me what a profound change I'd made on just them. And because

of that profound change I'd made on just them, they

had gone on to invent something and change the world.

And in that moment, I just got goosebumps. In that moment,

I realized that life wasn't a waste and that I was following

my path and that actually everything that I'd shrouded around,

I won't do that again. That wasn't the best choice of my life. In that

life just lifted. And within weeks, I started

teaching Reiki and hard, holding circles, and it all just came.

It wasn't like, I'm going to go and do this now. It all just happened.

It just happened. Yeah. Yeah. And I think whether you work in

the Akashic records or not or whether you even believe in the concept of

this understanding that

these experiences that we had can

be shifted just from a different perspective.

Yeah. And I think the

philosophy that we do have, this

field that is constantly recording everything that's going on.

Yeah. Can change what you put in

it. I think it's really powerful because

I think sometimes a lot of the work in the personal development

field is asking us to look at things from different

perspectives. But actually, in the akashic

records, the perspectives are, just, by the very nature,

from a different lens because it's different times, it's

different knowledge, it's different wisdom from a different place. And so I feel

like it's more profound. And I don't know whether

it's easier or not. I'm not coming

to a conclusion on that, but I feel that

we're so a lot of the time stuck in this

desire to change who we are right now in the present. And I

feel like when we've got this wealth of knowledge and wisdom from

afar, from a long time ago, it's easier to have those shifts because it's

almost like we're connected to it, but also disconnected to it at the same time,

if that makes sense. Yeah. And I've been thinking a lot about. It's

funny, because I've been thinking a lot about timelines recently,

and this might sound a little bit weird to our listeners, or

maybe it doesn't because it worked to you, but we attract who

we are, right? So maybe you're a listener just like me. But as I've been

looking in the mirror recently, it's almost like sometimes I feel like it's

somebody different. Like, sometimes when I look in the mirror and let me know if

you've ever experienced this, or I am being totally wrong, but it's almost like there's

a different person. Like, sometimes it's a different shaped face.

And so I know that there's. I'm on a different

time. It's almost as an anchor, like in inception, where there's that little spinning

thing. So you know that you're connected to a certain timeline. It's a little bit

like that. And sometimes when I look at myself, I feel, oh, I'm on this.

I'm on this timeline, and things are going as they should,

I suppose they're always going as they should, but. And then other times, I'll be

like, oh, something shifted. I'm somewhere else. My perspective shift. Or maybe

I'm not. Maybe I'm coming from things, from a lack mentality,

or maybe I'm not in flow, that kind of thing. So I've been really noticing

that recently, which sounds a bit wacky, but I love the OTT.

How do you feel when you. When, like, you do that and you have that

moment gone? Internally? I think it's a good thing

because I have that awareness of where I am. But for me, it is

that. It's a reflection of, okay,

this is who is showing up today. And if it's not the person that

I want to have showing up today, it's almost okay, I can catch myself and

go, okay, let's think about those thoughts. Let's think about those affirmations. Let's

think about those things that I do want to have and be right

now. And so I can make those shifts. So it's just a really

weird thing. And I don't know. Can you physically feel sometimes

when you're moving through timelines, do you ever get those, like, almost

like this? The sand between. Beneath your feet, the ground is

almost shifting a little bit, and there's a little bit of a transition. I don't

know if you know what I mean by that I do know what you mean,

and I don't experience in the same way as you that I physically see

that difference. And I think that's true

for any intuitive sense or the way we pick up the world.

We're all going to have our own unique ways of doing this. If you're listening

to this, go, I don't see somebody. For

me, I wonder if this is when deja vu and things can

really sense. Because if we

think about timelines, one of

my bugbears is, can we predict the future?

And I go to a psychic and the psychic and people come to me and

say, oh, can you read my cards and predict my future? What's going to happen?

I'm like, it doesn't really work like that, because we can predict

the future. That's the truth. Yeah, but

the future is malleable. The future is not set in stone. And the only way

we predict the future is this is where I am, this is where

I've been. It's coming into your energy field,

what they're picking up on, even if genuinely, they're like, I'm predicting the future,

because that's their skill, actually, if you break it down, what they're

doing is they're moving back in time, looking at the patterns and the

behaviors to the present, which is what do I believe and how am

I acting and how am I responding to things? And that kind of throws

a future timeline out into the world,

which then you start moving towards. And so if nothing

changes, you can always move along this path, and that's probably what's going

to come true for me. And I know

also how you work, Beth. It's more about how do I create that future

and what do I need to change in the present in order to get there,

and what do I need to, in my perspective, what can

I bring healing to in the past in order to assist that

present moment? Right, so where am I going

with the. When we are

so on? I know a lot of the work that you do, Beth,

is this visualization is creating this future, and this is what I'm

moving towards. You're setting a timeline in place. And

what an amazing ability to be able to visually see,

or in my case, it's more of a sensation,

this. I like how you describe that feeling of this sand beneath your

feet. There's this weird, like, slowing down is

how I maybe experience it, but what a

skill to be able to be like, okay, this is the timeline.

So what I'm doing right now in this moment isn't

what is driving me along there?

And it's like this warning signal in a way that

it's, you don't have to. Like, the universe isn't going to Beth, you need to

go that way. That's your path. Go that way, this way.

Only the universe is going, okay, this is what you want to create and

actually where you are today, this is taking

you somewhere different. Is this what you want? It's reminder, is this what you

want? And the answer is yes, no, or maybe.

And when I teach visualization and when I'm doing

visualizations for myself, it isn't

just about looking to the future. It's like what you say, it's about looking

back at the past and mining those

experiences for all the wisdom that is

within them and bringing that. Sometimes that's healing. So it's needing

to do some healing around that. And sometimes it's just literally just

recognizing in the present that what we were going

through at the moment was a real lesson, was there was some real strength and

resilience in that. And we can bring all of those wonderful things into

the present. And so it's not, not just looking forward and going, this is

how I want my future to be. It's actually, how can I use the skills

and experiences and superpowers and all of these wonderful things to bring

them into the future? And I do firmly believe that when we connect the

dots on our life, we can predict to the future to some extent. I think

with the benefit of time, as we get older, we've got the benefit

of actually being able to look back on so many amazing things and

connect the dots and go. Actually, that gives us clues

to where we might want to be heading, or should be heading

as they should, but where we may be wanting to head in the future. And

like you say, with visualization, everybody's

way to visualize is different because it uses

all of the different senses. And some of our senses are more dominant than

others. You might have this real feeling sensation,

and that might be your dominance moving

forward. But some people might have really strong visuals. Some people may have really strong

sense of smell. Some people might have really good auditory.

However we visualize is how we visualize, how we experience our

life day to day is how we should create those

visions. So I love this idea that

we've got these many timelines going on, and we get to pick and choose

and, yeah, go on different

twists and turns, and we can. And it

is, for me, that's the difference between fate and destiny.

Fate is, this is my timeline and it's plotted, and I'm just going to chug

along. It's almost this victim thing. This is what's happened to

me, and this is. These are the cards I've been dealt. Yeah. So this is

the life I'm gonna. I'm gonna lead. And then we have these

fated moments that feel, oh, okay, I'm there, and

this is what I should be doing, because you just know, don't you, when there's

these big or small fated moments that come in.

Whereas our destiny, I think, is something very different. Our

destiny, for me, feels like that evolved version of us. It's this.

These are all the things that happened to me, and this is the lessons

that I learned from these, and this is the experience that I've

taken from that, and that's all building me into this

potential that I could serve. And for me, that's just a lot

more empowering than, well, these are the cards that I've been dealt, and so

now I've just got to make the best of it. It's. These are the cards

I've been dealt, and how do I make the best of

it? It's the feeling that sits behind it rather than the,

you know, it's how we energize it and the

decisions that we make from it and knowing that we can make the

decisions. But it starts with that awareness

of, why are you doing things? Are these really

your thoughts? Are these really your wants and your desires? Because

you can create anything. You can create anything. You visualize anything

in the future. But if you bring something that's truly aligned to

you, things are going to be a lot easier or a lot more

fulfilling when you get them or even on the journey that

they're so. Coming back to

Akashic records how, and I'm sure this is what you're going to

be teaching. So you don't want to give all of your goodies, your goodies away.

But how would people practically use Akashic

records to help them on that journey

of. I think that there's many ways,

and I'm going to give a simple,

very practical, empowering answer, that

whether you're psychic or not psychic or

intuitive or not intuitive or

able to visualize or not able to visualize. Right. You can do this.

You don't need any skill to do this, just need an awareness that

just by understanding that there is this field out

there that is recording everything. Like

the. In the courtrooms, when you see

those, the people that are typing

everything that's happening. Yes. Yeah. It's like, we've got one of those.

But they're not just typing what's happening, they're typing everything you're

experiencing underneath that as well. The stories that are going on, the feelings that

are around there, what memories it brought, everything is downloaded into

this field in every single moment of every single day, even right

now, as you are listening to this, my

words and how you're taking them in and what that's bringing up

for you and how you're sitting and if you're saying, oh, no, I can't do

that, or, yes, I can, all of that is being recorded in this field, in

this moment. And for me, when I understood

that, it was like, wow, okay, what do I want written in my

field? Because the truth for me is

we are always visualizing or experiencing, usually

in memory. We're usually going back into

what happened. What did I do? How did I do that?

How could I do that? How could they do that? All of these things where

we spend a lot of our lives, they're not really in the present moment.

They're not really in what it is that we want to experience and create.

They're reactive, or we're in the

past or we're worrying about the future. That's generally

the regular state of most. People.

Which, first of all, that's good to know. That's

generally where we go because it's a survival mechanism. But it doesn't

have to be the way it's what we've been trained into. If I know at

the moment that I'm thinking back to those things that I

did, and I feel really shameful and guilty

and outdone whatever it is hard done by it,

then I'm recording that again and again and again and again. And that's what's going

to dominate what it is, that how I'm showing up, and that's going to

dominate the future that I'm creating because I am constantly

writing it. So I'm not saying don't think of the past,

but here's where the power of doing a session or working consciously in the records,

if we can go back to that moment where we felt shame or fear

or hard done by, and we go back through the Akashic

records, which are this field that are held by these,

if you like, beings that hold such compassion and non judgment

and understanding, there's not a, you did this and you did this wrong. It's

not a field of judgment. It's a field of, well, this happened and it

happened. Yeah. And you're honored and respected. And

we understand that you did the best that you could with what you've got. When

you go back into that memory, with that

understanding, with that higher perspective, then it

changes how you then look back on it.

Just as that story isn't there about the dog. If you get

bitten by this dog's really barking

and he comes and bites you with his bearing teeth, then you might

feel a little bit victimized. But if you realize that the dog was actually

stuck in a trap and was in pain, then you'd try and

understanding. Yeah. And it's different. It's how we understand

it differently. And then we can use it as a

lesson. Then we can use it as something that. Where they're moving through and

actually, that's then not dominating our thoughts. Because when we come

into understanding with something, it doesn't. It's not that

mind monkey anymore. It's those hard

ones, aren't they? The things we're angry about, sad about,

guilty about, shameful about, or victimized about,

that tend to be the things that plague us.

Yeah. How amazing would it be if

the things that plagued us were the happy memories

and the higher perspectives and

expectations of the things that we could do and the possibilities

that are available to us and the amazing

understanding. I'm going to give you an example. This is why

I don't read and watch things that are too heavy.

Right? Yeah. But right now I'm reading

the fourth Hunger Games book. The new book.

Yeah. And I love those books. I read them years ago.

New films coming out. And, like, Katniss Everdeen in

the first three movies is like, my girl crush. And so I was like, I'll

read this book, book because I quite like to go and see the movie. Anyway,

something happened in it, and I was reading it before bed last night, and something

happened in it that was a bit like, yeah. So then I'm like, I'm going

to sleep and I'm thinking about it. I'm walking this morning. There's this beautiful

blue sky, gorgeous day today, and I'm going for my walk.

And then I kept thinking about this character and then. And what they did, and

it was going on around in my head, and I checked myself and I'm like,

it's not real. Didn't happen. But what I

am writing and that might. Doesn't matter. It didn't happen to

me. What I'm writing in that moment is these feelings

of guilt. And I won't give the game away. Like these

quite heavy feelings. And I thought, oh, my goodness

me, I have got some amazing things going on in my life, and this is

what I'm choosing to focus on right now. So I thought about

the person that signed up to soul school, akashic training

last night and all the people that are considering

it and that have joined it, and it brought me back

into something because this is what I'm working on right now,

and this is what I want my energy to go into and be

into. Yeah, I think when you look at it and

think about it that way, it's an incredible

privilege to be able to fill your life

with the passions and purposes that your soul wants to bring forth into the

world. And, yeah, like I say, when we watch the news, when we see something

terrible, when it just shifts our energy

and why do we allow ourselves to go there? But that's just life, right? That's

the world that we surrounded ourselves. It's just the choice that we make to be

in the energy that we want to be in. But we're always going to get

these things that try to infiltrate our mind.

But books are great. Films are great. We can't completely shut them all out.

No, but it's knowing that, isn't it? It's catching, having that awareness.

Yeah. Catching fire.

Yeah, they are great. They are great movies.

And sometimes it's important to be open to different

things, because actually, maybe the reason I'm drawn to those

books, which is not really something that I'd normally spend my energy

in, because maybe there's some. I'm not suggesting that I lived in some

dystopian person, whatever, but maybe

there's something in there. Yeah, maybe there's something in

what happened with this character. And you know how

that will pound out that I hold in me. Why would it?

Me? Yeah, because I'm the same with, like, my partner likes

watching the saw films, and ten years ago, I could have watched one of those

and it wouldn't have had any impact, but today, they're just. Even the

thought that somebody could hold that idea and create

that story just freaks me out. Somebody would have that capacity to

create a story like that. But like you say, why is that? Why does that

trigger me? Why do I have such an intense

feeling to not want to watch something like that?

Obviously, it's gory and horrible, but also is a part of my timeline, is the

part of me that needs to heal a little bit more because of that as

well. So I think it's very telling where we're attracted and where

we're repelled from different things. But I would

say fill your life with lots of nice things and nice people, and

surround yourself with good energy and whatnot, and do the things that. That you

love. But I do feel like when you've got that perspective, to know

that by being able to follow the passion and

create those memories that are based on your highest, on

the things that you really desire, and you start to create that timeline,

and those timelines start to become the dominant timelines of the

positive stuff, I think that's an incredibly powerful space to

be in and want to be in. So what you're

doing, Mel, sounds wonderful. I want to say this.

What you just said about ten years ago, you might have been able to watch

this, and now it's more difficult. I think that when you are in

that energy and that becomes your dominant energy, you need

less of this outside entertainment.

And I'm not against it, watch what you want to watch. But you

start to understand that this entertainment is actually giving you an

internal experience, which can be quite exciting, it can

be quite stimulating, and sometimes we're

striving for that and we need that. Or it can also be quite. Just

chill and relaxing and a bit mind numbing. We all like a bit of that

sometimes. But I think that as you become

more present in your creation of

life, you start to understand these timelines. You start to

understand how visualization works and

how things like the book of Life are always recording things for

you and how our nervous system needs

regulating and all these different things. I just think

that some of these heavier

dramas, for me, it's the psychological

stuff more, I think, more than the kind of gory stuff. Yeah.

Which gore has got in heaps, isn't it?

I used to watch them. I used to watch them, like, when they went to

cinema, I used to go and see them. Yeah. I couldn't even think about doing

that. Now. They just become less tempting. It's

like you don't need that same

stimulation that you do. And when you do it, it's

more of a mindful choice, rather than just, I'm going to sit here and chill

out, watching people slaughter each other on the tv. It doesn't

make. To me, that doesn't make sense. No. I also think that the

more that you work in it with your senses and have that sense of

your emotions and that it's almost like you've developed

those to an extent. And that then when you see something like

that, it has such a. It has an impact on you because of the

heightened sense of, like, the visual aspect, the actual sounds of somebody screaming, for

example, then as a hyper effect when it might not have

done that many years ago. If that wasn't, if that's something you. Weren'T working

on, work on these senses and want to be my work with a lot of

people who want to increase their psychic senses

and then they wonder why they find things over stimulating. Yeah,

it's the perk of the job. So we have to protect our energies as well.

Maybe we could talk about that in a later episode. This has been

a weird and wonderful. We've talked about things that I didn't think we'd talk about

the Hunger Games or the saw trilogy. Well, here we go

today. But this is what our soul inspired

podcast has been about today. See, I got Katniss

Everdeen in there. So Mel, until we meet

again, have a wonderful day.

You too. And to all our listeners, may your. Lives all

be soul inspired.
