In today's episode, we welcome back Jeffrey Allen, who is a very well
Speaker:known energy healer and has brought this important work of working with
Speaker:our own energy, shifting and expanding our energy, to millions of people.
Speaker:In today's episode, we go profoundly deep.
Speaker:We dive deep into how you can shift your energy when you're
Speaker:experiencing fear, especially when you're scrolling on social media.
Speaker:When you are listening or reading the news and you're feeling anxiety,
Speaker:you're experiencing fear about the state of the world, you're experiencing
Speaker:uncertainty, how can you work with your energy in the most powerful way?
Speaker:In the moments where it matters the most?
Speaker:We also go deep into how you can shift when you feel stuck energetically in
Speaker:any area of your life, whether it's relationships, whether it's manifesting
Speaker:abundance, attracting a conscious partner, how can you get unstuck, so to speak?
Speaker:And there are many golden nuggets here because there's so many spiritual traps
Speaker:where our ego interferes with our journey.
Speaker:You can be highly conscious and deep on the journey, and yet I
Speaker:know there will be so many powerful golden nuggets for you there.
Speaker:We also go deep into how you can communicate with spirit guides.
Speaker:What does that even mean?
Speaker:What is the difference between a ghost?
Speaker:Are there dark evil entities?
Speaker:Do they hijack people's consciousness?
Speaker:Today we really talked about so many different, extremely important topics.
Speaker:And then we go full circle and talk at the end about what is most important for
Speaker:us to focus on right now in our journey.
Speaker:And this applies to every single soul.
Speaker:If you haven't yet subscribed to the show, I invite you to do so,
Speaker:so you never miss the next episode.
Speaker:Thank you for being here.
Speaker:Jeffrey, what I wanna dive into straight here, which I believe is really important
Speaker:and we'll speak to so many listeners and viewers, is that we're constantly
Speaker:bombarded with so much information.
Speaker:I, I'd say more than ever, much of it is negative and feels perhaps even
Speaker:threatening to our nervous system, and also even our sense of identity.
Speaker:Algorithms are becoming increasingly sophisticated at hijacking our attention
Speaker:and, and, and causing emotional reactivity from us, ultimately.
Speaker:From, from your perspective, how do we remain sovereign?
Speaker:How do we protect our energy?
Speaker:Couple things.
Speaker:So one is, uh, just being aware that, uh, of all the information that's
Speaker:coming in, first you wanna know that, uh, this is, uh, this is not
Speaker:representative of everything as a whole.
Speaker:So the stuff that gets through is usually kind of the, the loudest, uh,
Speaker:the noisiest, uh, sometimes the most disturbing or eye catching, you know,
Speaker:the things that get your attention.
Speaker:And so if you're, if you're in a position where you're feeling like, oh, the, I'm
Speaker:really depressed by when I'm, you know, all this information that's coming in,
Speaker:or I'm feeling like my energy is drained by all this information coming in, now
Speaker:the first thing you wanna do is kind of, uh, rather than shutting down, which is
Speaker:kind of our natural reaction to do it, is you want to, uh, actually expand.
Speaker:So you wanna say, okay, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna take a moment.
Speaker:I'm gonna kind of go within kind of calm myself.
Speaker:Could, could be anywhere.
Speaker:You could just be, uh, you know, if you're at work, maybe
Speaker:just go in and wash your hands.
Speaker:Do something to kind of get away from the noise for a moment, and then
Speaker:instead of contracting your senses and your awareness, let it expand.
Speaker:So what's beyond this noise?
Speaker:What's beyond this message that I'm hearing that things are terrible or
Speaker:beyond this conflict that I'm seeing?
Speaker:And as soon as you ask that question, what'll happen is your, your energy
Speaker:focus, which is kind of tightly focused on the information that's being sent to
Speaker:you, the information that somebody wants you to focus on, and your attention when
Speaker:you say what is beyond it sort of opens up and you start to see, oh, there's
Speaker:a lot of other stuff happening too.
Speaker:If it's a particular situation, like if there's a, a conflict or a war going on.
Speaker:For me, when I open up and say, uh, what's, what's beyond this?
Speaker:What's beyond this message?
Speaker:I start to notice others people, right?
Speaker:There's people in these countries, there's people in this government
Speaker:or in this organization.
Speaker:And, uh, these people have families, these people have hearts, they have
Speaker:lives, they laugh, they do things.
Speaker:Suddenly when you start noticing, uh, it's just, people behind things already, kind
Speaker:of the temperature goes down, you start to notice, oh, maybe I'm not so different.
Speaker:Start noticing the similarities.
Speaker:So that's the first thing I'd recommend.
Speaker:Instead of, instead of closing down, you actually wanna like open up to the, the
Speaker:broader picture and the broader message.
Speaker:Because, you know, when I do that, what I've seen energetically is that there's a,
Speaker:a much brighter and more beautiful picture or like reality, uh, in the world than the
Speaker:little messages that we're getting through social media and the news and so on.
Speaker:So that's first.
Speaker:Um, second thing, if you're feeling like you do need to, uh, kind
Speaker:of protect yourself, if you, if, if you're feeling disturbed, you
Speaker:can always, uh, just imagine kind of, you have gotten right here.
Speaker:There's a tool from my, uh, duality class that I teach.
Speaker:This one actually came out of, um, uh, many teachings came from, um,
Speaker:uh, Lewis Boswick, originally back in a Berkeley Psych Institute.
Speaker:And so you just kind of imagine that there is, uh, a rose about
Speaker:arms linked in front of you.
Speaker:And you're just giving, uh, permission for you to have this
Speaker:space between you and the rows.
Speaker:So basically, I would say I have permission, I have a hundred percent
Speaker:permission to have this space between the rows and my body, just for me.
Speaker:I don't have to have anybody else's information or energy
Speaker:or ideas or goals in that area.
Speaker:This is just for me.
Speaker:And I'm gonna give permission for everybody else to have all the
Speaker:rest of space in the universe.
Speaker:So, all I really need is this space around me, my or my energy field.
Speaker:I want that to be clean for me, but everything else is okay.
Speaker:And so instead of going from a, a place of resistance and fighting and
Speaker:trying to like, you know, protect yourself in some way, you wanna
Speaker:use this idea of permission, and, uh, it's just much more powerful.
Speaker:And, and this, this little, uh, you can imagine with somebody that comes
Speaker:up this be of conflict with, you could just visualize a rose or just, it could
Speaker:be just a little bubble if you're, if a rose is hard to visualize, just imagine
Speaker:a little bubble between you and them.
Speaker:And again, just with that idea that I give myself permission to have this
Speaker:space between this bubble and myself, and then I give you permission to have all
Speaker:the rest of the space in the universe.
Speaker:And that's like a really generous offer.
Speaker:Most people will take that offer.
Speaker:You know, it's, it's, it's very generous rather than very kind
Speaker:of a restricted and in type.
Speaker:That's very profound.
Speaker:Uh, about your first point that you made, would you say that anyone who
Speaker:is doom scrolling or seeing negative messages and they're feeling this
Speaker:activation inside themselves, they're feeling I need to protect myself,
Speaker:everything is falling apart, collapsing.
Speaker:It's kind of a death is near experience, a fear of death,
Speaker:not a meditation about death.
Speaker:Um, would you say that in that moment we're not aware of the bigger
Speaker:picture of what's actually happening?
Speaker:We're only seeing through the lens of a specific negative news in that moment?
Speaker:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker:It's like there was a photograph, right?
Speaker:So the message that you're getting is like, uh, just imagine a little
Speaker:photograph of whatever social media you're seeing or whatever internet
Speaker:thing you're seeing, or the news.
Speaker:If it's right in front of your face like this, then you know, everywhere
Speaker:you look it's like, oh, this is real.
Speaker:This is real, this is real.
Speaker:This is really scary.
Speaker:Oh, no.
Speaker:Oh, it's, it's real up here too.
Speaker:It's real over here.
Speaker:Like for where it's real.
Speaker:But when you start to like, give yourself a little space, you
Speaker:know what, what's beyond that?
Speaker:What you're doing is you're kind of pushing this information back and then
Speaker:all of a sudden it's like, oh, oh, there's, there's, there's a lot of
Speaker:information, there's a lot of energy, there's a lot of situations happening.
Speaker:It's not just this one thing that was overwhelming my senses.
Speaker:So I just gotta push it back, get a little distance.
Speaker:Then pretty soon you'll be like, ah, actually that's not even,
Speaker:not, that's not even important.
Speaker:It's just one tiny little sliver of information.
Speaker:It is profound and, and when you set up, when you set about feeling
Speaker:into other people's hearts, for instance, when I heard that, I could
Speaker:immediately feel a, a relaxation.
Speaker:What, what is that, when we feel into other people?
Speaker:What's happening to our energy then?
Speaker:Because I feel this at an embodied level when you speak about it, but
Speaker:can you shine more light on that?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:What's happening there?
Speaker:Uh, well, a couple things.
Speaker:So definitely, uh, you are, when you're connecting with people in that way,
Speaker:uh, it's not just something that you're visualizing in your mind or kind of
Speaker:imagining, but what's happening is you're energetically, you're coming into,
Speaker:uh, coherence with these other people.
Speaker:So, you know, all of us, I like to think of it like, um, think of
Speaker:our body like a, a guitar, right?
Speaker:So it's if you were, if you had two guitars, you know, in the same tuning and
Speaker:you pick one up and you start, you know, plucking one of the strings, you'll notice
Speaker:that the other guitar also vibrates.
Speaker:Even though you're not touching it, you're not playing it, right?
Speaker:Uh, same thing.
Speaker:We've got a, a harp at our house.
Speaker:My wife likes to play the harp.
Speaker:And if, if you're, if I'm sitting next to it eating dinner and I
Speaker:happen to like cough or something, you'll hear the harp go whoa.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:Even though I'm not touching it, right?
Speaker:And, uh, uh, people are the same way.
Speaker:You know, ener energetically, our bodies are like, you know, if you talk about
Speaker:the chakras, it's like a bunch of, uh, microphones and speakers all together.
Speaker:So, uh, we're always picking up, you know, the frequencies of others in our body.
Speaker:If somebody, if you're feeling sad, you might ask yourself, uh, am I
Speaker:feeling sad or am I feeling sadness?
Speaker:So if I'm feeling sad, that's, that's like, I've identified with it
Speaker:and, and I'm sad, but if I notice, actually I'm feeling sadness, then the
Speaker:next question would be, is it mine?
Speaker:Actually, it's not mine.
Speaker:I, I feel it deeply.
Speaker:I feel this sadness, but it's actually not mine.
Speaker:Oh, interesting.
Speaker:So that means I don't, right away, I don't need to do something to fix it.
Speaker:I don't need to ask why it's there, but all of a sudden I, I go right
Speaker:to compassion, like, oh, somebody, somebody else is circulating this
Speaker:energy of sadness and I'm, I'm picking it up because I'm sensitive.
Speaker:I'm human, and they're human.
Speaker:So automatically we're feeling, you know, I'm feeling the same thing as them.
Speaker:Uh, so in this, in this bigger picture, when you're tuning into people and
Speaker:kind of noticing them, even at a great distance, the same thing is happening,
Speaker:same thing you're noticing, like I said, oh, there's, there's people behind that
Speaker:government or behind that organization, and there's those people have families
Speaker:and they have kids, and they have parents.
Speaker:And all of a sudden you start noticing, oh, they're not just
Speaker:a, a scary name or a scary photo.
Speaker:Uh, they're a human.
Speaker:And you're going into resonance with them and noticing that, oh,
Speaker:we're, we're actually quite similar probably in a lot of beautiful ways.
Speaker:Rather than focusing on, you know, the one little place where like, we're very
Speaker:different and then going Help, help, help.
Speaker:We're different.
Speaker:We're different.
Speaker:It's scary.
Speaker:It's terrible, you know.
Speaker:And what you said about sad, I'm feeling sad or feeling sadness as opposed, the
Speaker:same applies also to a fear narrative.
Speaker:For instance, if someone sees any kind of fear narrative, um, and they might
Speaker:say I'm feeling fear, but actually they might be actually feeling the
Speaker:fear of someone else's narrative.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's like, am I afraid or am I just, is there just an energy of fear that's
Speaker:circulating, and because my body responds to that, I'm like, I'm identifying
Speaker:with and saying Ooh, now I'm afraid.
Speaker:So instead that same thing, say, oh, am I afraid or am I feeling the energy of fear?
Speaker:Am I, is the energy of fear circulating through me?
Speaker:When you start to see the world from an energy perspective,
Speaker:it's really interesting.
Speaker:You notice like, oh yeah, my body is this sensitive, beautiful instrument,
Speaker:picking up all kinds of emotions and thoughts and, and feelings from everybody.
Speaker:And if, if I identify it all as me, if I don't understand that
Speaker:I'm resonating with other people, it can feel very overwhelming.
Speaker:but once you get that, it, it's kind of fun actually.
Speaker:Like, ooh, there's fear circulating here.
Speaker:I wonder what that's about.
Speaker:I'm curious.
Speaker:I wanna find out more, you know, and then, Hey, maybe I can even help.
Speaker:And in that moment there is already a sense of detachment
Speaker:and space, isn't there?
Speaker:The moment we say there is fear circulating, rather than I am
Speaker:experiencing fear or I am fearful.
Speaker:Yeah, it's expansion, but it's not expansion.
Speaker:Sometimes people take, think of expansion, like I'm somehow getting
Speaker:bigger or broader, or like my energy is expanding in some way.
Speaker:That could be true, but really what the goal is just that
Speaker:my awareness is expanding.
Speaker:I'm aware of more information, more connection.
Speaker:I'm seeing a broader perspective.
Speaker:I'm not focused on, uh, just some tiny detail here.
Speaker:Something else I wanted to ask you is that we see many spiritually, highly
Speaker:intelligent people, people who are deeply committed to their spiritual journey,
Speaker:and often there's this one area or maybe two areas where they somehow feel stuck.
Speaker:They're doing so much work, but in this one area, whether it's relationship
Speaker:or manifesting a conscious partner or their purpose or whatever it is, there's
Speaker:this one area where they feel stuck.
Speaker:And they seem to feel unable to shift their reality.
Speaker:What would you say is the most, is the most common reason for that?
Speaker:boy.
Speaker:There's, uh, there's lots of reasons.
Speaker:One, that, the one that pops up when you're, uh, when you're talking.
Speaker:So maybe, you know, if you, if you're listening to us here,
Speaker:maybe you relate to this.
Speaker:As we're moving along at kind of our spiritual personal growth path, when
Speaker:we start feeling like we're making some progress, like, oh, I've, I'm doing, I'm
Speaker:sort of lined up my actions with my, my, my inner goals and my true desires, and
Speaker:I feel like I'm living from my heart and like I'm feeling very kind of successful
Speaker:in this way, what we notice is that, um, like in that state, I speak for myself
Speaker:because I'm, I'm feeling like, oh, this new me is really amazing, this new me is
Speaker:a lot better than the old me, suddenly I'm setting up this, this judgment, right?
Speaker:So, uh, the old me was kind of like lame because it didn't do
Speaker:the things the new me is doing.
Speaker:Now, now I'm good.
Speaker:So before I must've been like less good or bad in some way.
Speaker:This is kind of the, the root of the energy.
Speaker:But what we see is that, that that'll project out onto everybody else.
Speaker:So that's why you see people that are doing really great in their, you know, in
Speaker:their growth and their personal growth, but they become very self-righteous.
Speaker:So we start and we see, I mentioned this 'cause this is,
Speaker:this is happening to a lot of us.
Speaker:You know, I, I've, I've been through it myself.
Speaker:I see everybody going through it where, uh, at some point you start noticing, oh,
Speaker:I'm judging everybody who isn't like me.
Speaker:Like, oh, that person's not exercising like I am now.
Speaker:Like they're, I was outta shape and then I got into shape.
Speaker:And now people that were outta shape, they're outta shape
Speaker:now somehow or less than me.
Speaker:So I'm judging those people.
Speaker:Or, uh, maybe it's, it's about foods, but I changed my diet.
Speaker:Now I'm living in a way that feels healthy to me.
Speaker:So everybody not eating like me, there's something wrong with them.
Speaker:Or, uh, oh, I'm, I'm meditating now.
Speaker:I didn't use to meditate.
Speaker:So if you're not meditating like me, there's something wrong with you, right?
Speaker:And so this is, I I mention it because it's not only is it common, but it's
Speaker:something that's almost always overlooked.
Speaker:Uh, we see it in other people, like we see like, oh, that, that, that person is
Speaker:just so judgmental and so fix on that.
Speaker:But, but we, we just can't see it in ourselves often 'cause we
Speaker:all think we're right, right?
Speaker:And so, uh, and like I said, energetically, it's not really
Speaker:about those other people.
Speaker:It's not about, uh, judging or blaming those other people.
Speaker:It's actually about myself.
Speaker:And I haven't got to the point yet then saying I really love who I'm
Speaker:becoming, and I loved who I was too.
Speaker:It was totally okay that I was, you know, a year ago, I was in
Speaker:a different place 10 years ago.
Speaker:I was 10 years younger and maybe not as learned as I am now.
Speaker:And you know, like all the things that, you know, every step along
Speaker:the way was just, just fine.
Speaker:And when you could get to that space, you notice that, oh, the people
Speaker:around me are okay too, even though they're different than me, even
Speaker:though they're doing things that I've learned to do differently still okay.
Speaker:And, and we're judging ourselves, aren't we?
Speaker:When, when we judge others.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Well, that's where it's coming from.
Speaker:That's the energy behind it is has to do with us, right?
Speaker:So on the surface, if you look at it, yeah, we're just judging
Speaker:all the people around us.
Speaker:But, uh, it's particularly funny, you know, for, yeah, like me, I, you know,
Speaker:I, I was teaching energy work and people relate that to spirituality,
Speaker:even though, I don't know, energy work is just energy work, right?
Speaker:It just has to do with how things are moving, kinda the bigger picture, and.
Speaker:But, uh, it's a little hard to explain and validate with science, so we
Speaker:kind of group it in with spirituality and kinda fit seems to fit there.
Speaker:But I didn't call myself this, but you'd see after my name, like Jeffrey Allen,
Speaker:spiritual teacher and energy healer, and I'm like, what happened when,
Speaker:when did I become a spiritual teacher?
Speaker:And, and then I would look around, I'm like, you know, if
Speaker:you knew what was really going on inside my head, you'd see that.
Speaker:A lot of times I see somebody and, and I have a little snap judgment.
Speaker:I'd be like, oh, that person's really, whatever, you know, whatever the label is.
Speaker:And, uh, I started noticing it 'cause people are expecting more from me.
Speaker:And I'm like, okay, something's funny here, right?
Speaker:Something's, something's funny.
Speaker:Why am if I, my vibration is high and I'm doing all these great
Speaker:things, how can I also be really self-righteous and judgmental?
Speaker:And, uh, that's when I started noticing this pattern in other people too.
Speaker:And, you know, my wife Hisami helped me see it and get some clarity
Speaker:around the details and the energy.
Speaker:And, um, so it's, yeah, it's, it's a really fun one.
Speaker:'cause once, once you see it, it's really easy to shift to amusement, to just kind
Speaker:of laugh at myself and go Got it, okay.
Speaker:And everything kind of softens.
Speaker:And then the people that I feel are judgmental toward me, suddenly I'm not
Speaker:so reactive to that anymore because I realize, oh, they're just doing the same
Speaker:thing I'm doing about a different issue or the other side of the same issue.
Speaker:And, and we're all, we're all working through this ability to love ourselves
Speaker:at any state, rather than having to, uh, achieve some perfect way of being,
Speaker:eating, thinking, talking, working, being in relationships and so on.
Speaker:and could this even be connected to self-sabotage in a way?
Speaker:So let's say I'm trying to step into a new identity, but I'm shaming my old
Speaker:identity and I'm saying that part is bad, that part is wrong and should have
Speaker:never been there and it's unacceptable.
Speaker:Is there a correlation then between people falling back into
Speaker:that old identity, so to speak?
Speaker:Yeah, well, I'd say, uh, there's energetically nothing's changed, So the
Speaker:circumstances around may have changed.
Speaker:I might be eating differently, talking differently, doing different things.
Speaker:But the energy is exactly the same if I'm still thinking that I'm not, that
Speaker:I have to do something to be better, that I, that I'm, I'm not good enough,
Speaker:just regardless of where I'm at, right?
Speaker:So, so actually pe it's, what's happening there is we've changed all
Speaker:of our outer stuff, but we're actually in the exact same state inside.
Speaker:We just might be a little bit more polished, on the outside.
Speaker:And this probably is one of the key answers and one of the most common reasons
Speaker:as to why people find themselves stuck.
Speaker:Because when they're fully honest with themselves, they might realize
Speaker:that the energy itself hasn't shifted.
Speaker:Maybe it shape shifted, but it's, it's still the same shape, so to speak.
Speaker:It's still from unworthiness to now judging the old self
Speaker:rather than having kindness and compassion and love toward the self.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You, you're right on there.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's, um, it's funny, I, I was watching a video just the other day.
Speaker:I happened to see this old video that I made.
Speaker:It was like 2012 ish say, it was quite, quite a while ago, and I was
Speaker:watching it and the thing that struck me was not how much I've changed,
Speaker:but I really haven't changed at all.
Speaker:That's what struck me.
Speaker:I'm like, like, feels like I'm growing and expanding all the time, but if I
Speaker:look back 10 years, 15 years ago, I was having the same kind of thoughts,
Speaker:the same excitement about growth.
Speaker:Like, I've really kind of, I'm just sort of always the same person, but
Speaker:it feels like, feels different, right?
Speaker:That's profound.
Speaker:So loving the old self and having no judgment toward that.
Speaker:And from that place of love, stepping into the true self or the self that, that feels
Speaker:most aligned in that particular moment.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I've got a, just a short, short story about that.
Speaker:I was in, um, this is when I was in Sedona and, uh, I was, you know, I
Speaker:was meditating every morning having these just beautiful visions, these
Speaker:conversations with my spirit guides.
Speaker:And, uh, they would give me little assignments, right?
Speaker:And they were always just very short, very, very clear things.
Speaker:And, uh, one time they said, uh, love yourself, just this,
Speaker:like two word suggestion.
Speaker:And I was like, whew, okay.
Speaker:The two words, that's pretty big.
Speaker:Okay, I'm gonna work.
Speaker:So that week, I just, you know, kind of used all my tools, looked at
Speaker:places where I wasn't loving myself.
Speaker:I really worked on it.
Speaker:And a and a week later, you know, just one week later, this
Speaker:is how big my ego is, right?
Speaker:So I came back one week later in meditation and I said I think I got it.
Speaker:I think I made some big progress this week.
Speaker:I really feel like I love myself now, you know?
Speaker:And they said, good, yeah, you're, you're doing a good job now.
Speaker:You love who you are.
Speaker:Okay, so next step is love, who you were.
Speaker:I was like, ah, much harder because they got it.
Speaker:And I'm just loving, like who I think I am today.
Speaker:My idea about who I am today, it's kinda like a, you know, this
Speaker:was before social media was big.
Speaker:But it, it's a, it's kinda like if you love a photo on Instagram of
Speaker:yourself, it's your favorite photo.
Speaker:That's great.
Speaker:But how about loving all the photos that have ever been taken?
Speaker:Like, just can you, you know, can you fully love who you were?
Speaker:And it's, it's hard, isn't it, from a, when I say hard, I don't wanna attach
Speaker:a limiting story or belief to it.
Speaker:But when I say it can be or seemingly hard is because there is no real
Speaker:tangible result based outcome.
Speaker:We've been so conditioned to kind of approach the healing journey in
Speaker:this kind of getting better and being perceived as better from the outside.
Speaker:So if I'm being loving and compassionate towards myself, it's, there isn't
Speaker:really a, a, well, there is a big result and liberation obviously, but
Speaker:it's more internal and, and maybe perhaps people's egos, if I can say
Speaker:it that way, perceive it as not really something that is important because
Speaker:others won't perceive that necessarily.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That's really interesting.
Speaker:So, um, surprisingly, when we make this shift, we start really loving ourselves
Speaker:more everybody around notices, right?
Speaker:Because what's happening is we're circulating different energy.
Speaker:So before I was circulating, I was circulating love, but I was
Speaker:also circulating some judgment and some fear and some ideas.
Speaker:And so I just kind of mixed energy circulating.
Speaker:As I'm able to clear that out and become more coherent, where I'm like
Speaker:more often circulating energy of love, not, not a hundred percent, but you
Speaker:know, more often, people around me are noticing because they're catching my
Speaker:energy all the time when I'm with them.
Speaker:And so I've, I've had so many, uh, students and clients from the
Speaker:years say something like this where they, they work on themselves.
Speaker:They do this internal work, and they'll say, I can't believe it.
Speaker:I, this one client said, I got done doing this exercise.
Speaker:I got done.
Speaker:Like, working on just my internal stuff.
Speaker:And something really surprising happened.
Speaker:My, my husband, the next time I saw him a couple hours later, he said, I don't
Speaker:know why, but you are just glowing.
Speaker:You are so sexy right now.
Speaker:Like, you're just amazing, right?
Speaker:And she's like, I didn't expect that 'cause I was meditating and kind of
Speaker:clearing out some old stuff, you know.
Speaker:And here's my husband's like, wow, you're, you're hot.
Speaker:This is great.
Speaker:You're beautiful.
Speaker:She's like, this is great.
Speaker:And he doesn't, um, he doesn't talk about energy with her.
Speaker:He is not into the energy work stuff, but he could just feel it so strongly.
Speaker:'cause she was, she was really resonating this coherent field of love.
Speaker:Same, same thing At work.
Speaker:People at people at work will notice, your friends will notice, like, uh, it's, uh,
Speaker:probably a lot of you have had, had this happen where somebody else say something's
Speaker:different about you, what's different?
Speaker:And you know, 'cause it had some great experience or a great workshop over
Speaker:the weekend or something happened.
Speaker:So you know why you're sort of glowing, but um, you haven't told anybody.
Speaker:They could still
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It, it's, it's, it's remarkable how when our, when the, let's
Speaker:using your language, when we are circulating a different energy, how
Speaker:doing the same thing is no longer the same, how it completely changes.
Speaker:And just to bring some bit of my personal story in there as well.
Speaker:What I would notice is in the past, and I'm, that's my work, is a disconnect
Speaker:between, for instance, I'd be coaching people or facilitating a men's group
Speaker:or women's group, or it doesn't matter.
Speaker:And I would feel on top of the world.
Speaker:And then I would feel tension regarding other aspects in my
Speaker:life or another area in my life.
Speaker:Not in my intimate life, but another area or something admin related, for instance,
Speaker:that that annoyed me, that irritated me.
Speaker:But now I would bring that energy at home and, and that energy would be
Speaker:circulating, not during the workshop, not during the facilitation, nowhere there.
Speaker:But it would then circulate with those closest around me.
Speaker:And that really led me to reflect deeply, wait a moment.
Speaker:It's with those closest around me where I want to be most mindful, apart
Speaker:from the deeper mission and service.
Speaker:So would then maybe the approach to that for a person struggling with that,
Speaker:where there is a sense of incoherence or disconnect as I just described,
Speaker:the first step, I assume would be to bring kindness and compassion to, to
Speaker:that energy to us finding ourselves in this state that we are resisting
Speaker:or clearly don't want to be in?
Speaker:You, you got it.
Speaker:You're right on.
Speaker:And yeah, you have to find, uh, compassion for yourself.
Speaker:And in some ways, kind of imagine, if you, like, in this situation, like when,
Speaker:when we're teaching workshops, you know, it's, it's really easy to get into that
Speaker:beautiful vibration and state and, you know, everybody's looking at us, you know,
Speaker:like seeing us in the beautiful lights.
Speaker:It's easy for us to be us, sort of our brightest selves.
Speaker:And it's easy to also see all the people in the room with compassion
Speaker:and love, you know, to really just, I, I just love all the people that are
Speaker:here and I'm, I'm wanting to help them and, and share useful information.
Speaker:So there's just all this beautiful energy circulating.
Speaker:But of course when we, when we do that, any heavy energies that are
Speaker:in us are gonna start to come loose.
Speaker:Here's an opportunity.
Speaker:I'm resonating this vibration of love, resonating with these,
Speaker:these you happy vibrations.
Speaker:So the other stuff that's kind of stuck is kind of starting to vibrate
Speaker:and getting ready to come off.
Speaker:But it's not gonna happen in that situation.
Speaker:It's gonna happen, like I said, it's gonna happen when you go home, then you
Speaker:go home and like, like all this stuff is coming off and sort of you, the, the
Speaker:lights turn down and you exhaustion's coming in and like, then all the heavy
Speaker:stuff that was coming, coming loose, uh, there's an opportunity to, for
Speaker:that to start circulating around you.
Speaker:And if it does, you, you kind of have to think like, uh, can I see myself
Speaker:with the same love that I would see somebody else in this situation?
Speaker:If I, if I was helping somebody or a friend or a family member who's in that
Speaker:situation, I would just see them and I have compassion for them and love and
Speaker:know, like, tell 'em it's, it's gonna get better, you know, the energy's
Speaker:gonna, you're gonna move through this.
Speaker:And if I can treat myself the same way, it's gonna, it's
Speaker:gonna move out and heal quickly.
Speaker:But if I say, oh, what's wrong with me?
Speaker:I can't believe it.
Speaker:It's so inconsistent.
Speaker:Everybody thinks I'm this level, but I'm really this level and blah, blah,
Speaker:blah, I start getting, I start getting down to myself, uh, all I'm doing
Speaker:is basically taking all this stuff that was ready to release, and then
Speaker:I'm bringing it back to me, right?
Speaker:I'm starting to circulate all this energy that it's, it's circulating in me, but
Speaker:it's circulating on the way out, right?
Speaker:I'm releasing heavy energies.
Speaker:So you have to be mindful when you're releasing heavy
Speaker:energies to, to that it's okay.
Speaker:They're, they're on their way out.
Speaker:Somehow, somehow it's, it's remarkably easier when you think about things
Speaker:as energy because you, you get out of your mental ideas of what's possible
Speaker:and not possible, and you get out of the idea that someone's to blame.
Speaker:Just all this sort of disappears.
Speaker:It's, it's a standard energy moving.
Speaker:This makes it really easy to, um, to let things move.
Speaker:And, and could this maybe explain why, let's say people going are going
Speaker:through a psychedelic journey or they're going through a retreat, or they're
Speaker:doing a powerful breath work journey, whatever, they're doing something
Speaker:powerful, and whatever they're doing, it's getting them into a peak state?
Speaker:So what I'm hearing you say is in that peak state, of course they feel all the
Speaker:love, they feel they're like expanding and even maybe the ego will say, I'm
Speaker:done now this is it, I have reached it.
Speaker:And then a few days later, or maybe even a week later, that kind of starts
Speaker:to subside, that peak state and like we feel maybe a heavy energy or some
Speaker:small thing, something admin related or something breaks in the house or whatever.
Speaker:Or in the apartment we start to feel this heavy energy.
Speaker:So basically what follows the peak is the loosening of those heavy energies,
Speaker:which are asking to be, to be released?
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:That, that's, uh, that's a great way to describe it.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:'Cause as your, as your vibration's going up, you know, as, and we
Speaker:can do that in a resonant field together, we can raise our vibration
Speaker:with each other really powerfully.
Speaker:Um, we let people notice this, you go to church and you're singing and you know,
Speaker:or you're with friends, hiking, you know, with your, with a group, you can really,
Speaker:you know, bring that vibration way up.
Speaker:So, yeah.
Speaker:Then the, the little energy is that we're stuck now.
Speaker:They can, they can get out easily.
Speaker:So you'll notice some, it's not, it's not a failure that a few
Speaker:days later or a week later you're feeling, you're feeling this energy.
Speaker:It's like, uh, it's success, right?
Speaker:I, I asked for a great healing.
Speaker:But maybe I misunderstood it, that the great healing always felt wonderful.
Speaker:It's, it's like, it's like great, great healing, uh, that it gets to
Speaker:wonderful, you know, but it, but the stuff that's coming out doesn't feel
Speaker:wonderful, or you wouldn't, you wouldn't have any desire to heal it, right?
Speaker:it could be that this is where a lot of people are feeling shame and, and maybe,
Speaker:and I don't wanna say teachings are failing them or teachers are failing them.
Speaker:I assuming everyone has good intent or most people have good intent.
Speaker:But it can very quickly venture into a kind of shameful, um, perspective
Speaker:of ourselves, can't, can it not?
Speaker:Because it's, it's almost like, oh, if you haven't yet fully stepped into
Speaker:the new identity, it means whatever it means you haven't gotten it, it
Speaker:means you have more healing to do.
Speaker:It means you have more this to do.
Speaker:But maybe what I'm hearing you saying, correct me if that resonates, is well,
Speaker:maybe it's exactly the way it should be, it's just we're labeling this
Speaker:loosening of heavy energy as a total annihilating failure and, and meaning
Speaker:that we've achieved and gone nowhere.
Speaker:But in truth, it's, it's just part of that journey.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, just part of the journey and, and that's a great way to think about
Speaker:it because there's, you know, in my experience we continue to grow and
Speaker:grow and grow and expand and expand and get lighter and lighter and lighter.
Speaker:Hopefully, you know, this, this isn't, uh, there isn't some a hundred percent
Speaker:that we're reaching where it's like, ah, like you said earlier, the Eagle wants
Speaker:to say, ah, I'm there now, I got it.
Speaker:Ah, I'm enlightened.
Speaker:I got there.
Speaker:Well, I can tell you that's, uh, that's not gonna happen, right?
Speaker:As long as you're in a body, right?
Speaker:Life's gonna keep bringing stuff your way.
Speaker:There's gonna be challenges.
Speaker:There's gonna be ups and downs.
Speaker:There's gonna be ebbs and flows, and this is okay.
Speaker:The goal isn't to try to like always be in a happy state or
Speaker:always be like good or perfect.
Speaker:That that's a completely, uh, ludicrous goal.
Speaker:It's just not possible.
Speaker:It's like saying, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take my car and it's always
Speaker:gonna be a hundred percent full or a hundred percent charged.
Speaker:That's my goal.
Speaker:You're like, well, how are you gonna get anywhere, right?
Speaker:Because that's, that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker:You, or you're gonna have to pick your car up and carry it around
Speaker:them because you can't, you can't use any of the fuel or charge.
Speaker:So it's, it's the same way you're gonna, it's always gonna be moving and flowing,
Speaker:and that's, that's totally okay, yeah.
Speaker:You talked, you already touched upon that.
Speaker:You talked about communicating with your spirit guides.
Speaker:I'd love to talk a little bit more about spirits and, and some specific
Speaker:questions around that as well that become more practical as well.
Speaker:You mentioned you communicate with your spirit guides.
Speaker:How do you perceive your spirits and, and also how do you understand
Speaker:their, their role and purpose in relation to, to humans, to this world?
Speaker:Yeah, sure.
Speaker:That's a great question.
Speaker:That's, um, it's changed a lot over the years.
Speaker:So I'd say, you know, when I was first communicating with, with guides,
Speaker:it was, felt like it was sort of me asking things and then hoping I would
Speaker:feel something or get something, or there'd be some sign or like, right.
Speaker:It was just seemed a lot of really one way for a while, right?
Speaker:And then as I, started focusing on the energy of things instead of the
Speaker:physicality of things, I started noticing, oh, there are, there is a
Speaker:lot of information coming and there's a lot of synchronicities happening.
Speaker:There's a lot of, uh, even silly things.
Speaker:Like I, I walked into a bookstore one time and this book literally fell
Speaker:off the shelf in front of me and like landed at my feet and I picked it up
Speaker:and all I saw was the title, which was not even an interesting title.
Speaker:And I was like, this book looks really good.
Speaker:You know, I was telling my friend that this really enthusiasm.
Speaker:I'm like, something weird's going on here with me, right?
Speaker:And I was like, okay, so this is, uh, this is the universe providing, you
Speaker:know, saying, Hey, focus on this, right?
Speaker:I, I picked the book up that I read it, it was like one of the most,
Speaker:uh, opening books for me ever.
Speaker:It was just fantastic, right?
Speaker:And it was called, uh, End Times by Cryon.
Speaker:So like, you know, way back it was a prediction kind of book.
Speaker:So, so information started coming in that way, right?
Speaker:Uh, then the more I practiced and I got, I got quiet.
Speaker:Then it started noticing, uh, it, uh, all of a sudden it started becoming voices.
Speaker:And then the, once I got through sort of the, the basic questions, like I, if you
Speaker:start talking to your guides, you know, to be honest, I was like in my late twenties,
Speaker:so the questions I was asking weren't exactly enlightened questions, right?
Speaker:So I'd be asking things like Does that girl like me?
Speaker:how's this stock doing, right?
Speaker:So, you know, it's, it's funny, but like, if you have this great ability, this to
Speaker:talk to your guys, it's not like suddenly you're gonna become a different person.
Speaker:You're gonna have the same concerns and desires and fixate on the
Speaker:same things as before, right?
Speaker:Did they help you on the stocks?
Speaker:Uh, they, yeah.
Speaker:Everything, it's, they're, they're amazing, uh, stocks,
Speaker:dating tips, everything.
Speaker:And, uh, but over time things get a little more interesting.
Speaker:Strike any of the important questions like you asked, like, who are you?
Speaker:Like what, what does this mean?
Speaker:I'm talking to some, something that seems to have answers beyond what I
Speaker:have and they seem to be, uh, right most of the time and they seem to have
Speaker:a lot more broad perspective and, and love, and that there's no judgment
Speaker:and that I have to do something.
Speaker:And there's just this completely different perspective, right?
Speaker:And like I said, it, it changed a lot over time.
Speaker:Like, uh, um, eventually over the years, I started asking the questions like,
Speaker:are you, you know, I'm talking to my guides and like, are you actually me?
Speaker:Am I just talking to myself?
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:Then the guide's like, oh, now you're getting to the good stuff, right?
Speaker:We're not talking about girls and cars and you know, like whatever,
Speaker:you know, mundane stuff you wanted to know about it, but now we're talking
Speaker:about the really interesting stuff, what's going on behind the curtains?
Speaker:And they said, uh, yes and no.
Speaker:From the perspective of the material world where there's, uh, separation and,
Speaker:and physicality, no, we're not, you.
Speaker:From the perspective of the spirit world where everything is one, and we're
Speaker:talking about vibrations and fields and consciousness, then yes, we're the same.
Speaker:And, uh, so that's what things started to get really, um, really interesting
Speaker:and really deep, uh, really fast.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If you, if you haven't had that experience talking to your guides,
Speaker:I really, uh, recommend like playing with it in a fun and easy way, and
Speaker:just know that the barrier that we feel initially, some people are able to do
Speaker:it just like this, but if you're not, it doesn't mean you're failing, right?
Speaker:So I was, I was like that I couldn't get anything at first, but what's
Speaker:happening is you're actually, uh, your attention is going to the unconscious
Speaker:energy that's between you, your current state of awareness, and the
Speaker:state of awareness that you would have that to be communicated consciously.
Speaker:And I say that 'cause you're always communicating with your guides.
Speaker:All the time this communication's happening.
Speaker:You're just not conscious of it because there's a, a layer of unconscious
Speaker:energy around, uh, around you.
Speaker:It's kind of the barrier of your, what you believe to be you.
Speaker:And the more times, uh, you, you touch the unconscious energy, the
Speaker:thinner and thinner and thinner it'll get, and eventually it'll disappear.
Speaker:And suddenly you're having conversations you didn't know were possible.
Speaker:And, uh, so, unfortunately, what we tend to do is like our awareness
Speaker:goes and hits unconscious energy.
Speaker:And we just sort of like, we're, we're trying, trying, trying,
Speaker:focusing, focus, focusing.
Speaker:Then as soon as it hits its unconscious energy, it just sort of goes off
Speaker:somewhere else, we forget where we we're doing, you know, we fall asleep.
Speaker:It's like when you're meditating, you know, fall asleep, this
Speaker:is what's happening, right?
Speaker:You, you span up to your unconscious energy, you hit it, you go
Speaker:unconscious, you fall asleep.
Speaker:That's called success.
Speaker:So keep doing that over and over.
Speaker:Keep bumping into this unconscious energy, and it will naturally fade away.
Speaker:'cause the more times you touch it, the more you're moving it, changing
Speaker:it and, and, and coming through.
Speaker:But most people think, most people think it's failure, not.
Speaker:And if you see it as failure, you'll stop trying.
Speaker:If you know that, oh, I'm actually succeeding, keep going.
Speaker:And is there always a kind of hierarchy in the sense of, um, first you can't really
Speaker:ask the guides questions, but then as you lean in, you can directly communicate?
Speaker:Or could it also be that some people just communicate with their spirit
Speaker:guides in a different way, maybe in a more intuitive body, somatic way,
Speaker:rather than specifically communicating?
Speaker:Is there a difference or is it the same for everyone?
Speaker:Uh, it's, it's actually different for everybody.
Speaker:So we all have the same capabilities, but some of us are naturally good at, uh, one
Speaker:part of intuition or energy work, and some of us are naturally good at other parts.
Speaker:And so, like for me, a clear audience has always been, uh, kind of easier for me.
Speaker:Like, I can hear things easier than I could see things.
Speaker:And so being able to see things took more, took more practice.
Speaker:But at first when we practiced visualizing, you
Speaker:know, I, I just saw nothing.
Speaker:Uh, then I could imagine I was visualizing things.
Speaker:But that's different than visualizing things.
Speaker:And I think that's a key, isn't it?
Speaker:That, that we imagine we're speaking to a spirit guy, But it's kind of
Speaker:in communication with our own ego.
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:And this, this just takes some practice, right?
Speaker:And it takes maybe at least a little bit of humility and a desire
Speaker:to grow and some curiosity and that lack of self-judgment, right?
Speaker:To know that like, uh, even now when I'm tuning into things, I know that sometimes
Speaker:I'm just gonna hear what I want to hear.
Speaker:So if you're, if you're talking to your guides or you're
Speaker:tuning into your intuition.
Speaker:And it's always validating you, telling you how smart you are
Speaker:and how great your ideas are.
Speaker:Kinda like using Chat GPT, right?
Speaker:So, you know, if you notice that like the, the first month or two months of Chat GPT
Speaker:is super fun 'cause you are like, it, it gets me, I'm the smartest person ever.
Speaker:And then you realize, okay, wait a second here.
Speaker:It's telling everybody that
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:it's just optimized for building a relationship, right?
Speaker:So the same thing happens.
Speaker:You gotta to start noticing if my intuition's always telling me I'm
Speaker:right, always telling me what I want to hear, that's not intuition.
Speaker:That's called wishful thinking, and it's very different.
Speaker:Um, doesn't mean you don't have intuition, just means your expectation you know,
Speaker:needs to be level set a little bit.
Speaker:Like adjust a little bit and say, I wanna know what's actually going on,
Speaker:not just what I want to hear, right?
Speaker:Because I tell you, when you, when I started talking my guides
Speaker:really deeply, the answer is almost always surprising in its depth.
Speaker:It might be just a few words.
Speaker:Like, I, like I said, love, love who you are, and then love who you were.
Speaker:It's just a few words, but the depth behind, it's like, whoa.
Speaker:They just, they just gave me, you know, this entire teaching on how
Speaker:energy works and how our, our ego and our minds worked and everything just
Speaker:with, just with a change of one word.
Speaker:the, the guides give us what our soul needs.
Speaker:And Chat GPT gives us a cookie for our ego i'd say.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But it's okay.
Speaker:It's, you know, if, if it's, if you're having fun and you're tuning
Speaker:in and you've got curiosity and it's causing you to like, try some things
Speaker:you might not have tried before, it's building your confidence, there's
Speaker:nothing wrong with any of this.
Speaker:It's just all part of the process.
Speaker:But, uh, the, the more you can have fun with it and be curious instead
Speaker:of serious, the more it's going to continue to expand and grow.
Speaker:And, and you'll, you know, we, we learn to discern not outside, but inside.
Speaker:Is this feeling I'm getting just 'cause I, I need it to be that way, or can I expand
Speaker:and see what I want and also what's real?
Speaker:In Shamanism, but also in other traditions you hear of shadow entities.
Speaker:Some call it demons, some call it dark forces.
Speaker:How do you describe that phenomena?
Speaker:What is your perspective of that?
Speaker:Well I'd say a couple things.
Speaker:One, uh, dark is just the lack of light.
Speaker:So it's not an active quality.
Speaker:Um, actually I could pull a parable from it.
Speaker:Maybe it was that Cryo book years ago.
Speaker:Is, uh, you know, like when you walk in a room and you hit the light
Speaker:switch, the room is dark, you hit the switch that the light comes on.
Speaker:But there's, if you're in a room that's light, there's no dark switch you can hit.
Speaker:You can't go in and hit a dark switch and then all the light
Speaker:is like snuffed out, right?
Speaker:You know, so you don't have to really be afraid of darkness, right?
Speaker:'Cause you can just be a light and the light will flood into all that space.
Speaker:But there's a, when you said it, it actually reminded me like years ago, this
Speaker:was, uh, I was still working as a software engineer and I got this invitation to
Speaker:come to Uganda as a, for first time.
Speaker:I went there twice, about maybe five years apart.
Speaker:So this was right around, uh, Y2K.
Speaker:And I was just traveling with a friend and, uh, and with her,
Speaker:her friends and family and so on.
Speaker:And, uh, we went into this, we're we're walking by our house and
Speaker:these, these gates opened up at this big kind of, um, estate, right?
Speaker:And we walked in and I was like, you know, just surprised.
Speaker:And then we went around and she said, oh, this is, this is Idi
Speaker:Amin's old vacation space, right?
Speaker:And I was like, oh wow, really?
Speaker:Huh.
Speaker:And I said, and they just let people walk in here And she said, no,
Speaker:they don't let anybody in here, but I don't know when you walked up,
Speaker:they open the door and let us in.
Speaker:And I'm like, okay, I don't know either because I don't, I don't know anything
Speaker:about this, you know, I'm just some random white guy wa walking through.
Speaker:And um, and we walked down and we're standing on some of the ruins.
Speaker:'Cause everything was kind of crumbled at that point.
Speaker:And I was looking down at the lake, it's right up, right off this lake.
Speaker:And I said, whoa, what is going on over there?
Speaker:There's this like amazing, uh, vortex of energy, and then there's
Speaker:all these kinda like, scary pictures in it of all this dark stuff.
Speaker:And my friend, she said, oh, that's the place that she said the locals here, they
Speaker:won't go to that place because that's, there's rumors that they were like human
Speaker:sacrifices or things like, you know, something really scary happening there.
Speaker:And I was like, well, then I gotta check it out.
Speaker:This sounds, this is pretty exciting.
Speaker:Like, let's go see, let's go check the energy, right?
Speaker:And I went, no, no fear of this, right?
Speaker:Because it's just energy.
Speaker:Everything's energy.
Speaker:And I, I walked up with, with my, uh, my two friends and, and, um,
Speaker:it was the first time I saw it, like, uh, right in the air above me.
Speaker:I've never seen this before, I could see this, like, this words kind
Speaker:of, these like gold words are like, you know, sparkling and it said
Speaker:beware evil lurks within, right?
Speaker:And I just, I just started laughing.
Speaker:I was like, woo, evil lurks within, right?
Speaker:And I was like, alright, well let's, let's just see what we can do here, right?
Speaker:So I just started grinding the area, just cleaning the energy up.
Speaker:'Cause this is like, what I could see is this is a really beautiful,
Speaker:natural vortex of energy here, and then somebody had just kind of stuck
Speaker:these scary messages up, right?
Speaker:So I just started cleaning 'em off, cleaning the energy, making it move.
Speaker:And I didn't really notice what was happening until I started getting wet.
Speaker:And then I looked around me and the, all these storm clouds had
Speaker:come in and it was like starting to, it was pouring, pouring rain.
Speaker:I was doing the energy work and I was just kinda lost my own space, just
Speaker:moving all this energy out, just clearing all this so that people could start
Speaker:using this beautiful energy again.
Speaker:It was just stuck.
Speaker:'cause not only was there, somebody had put some energy there to scare
Speaker:people, but the locals, everybody around there were still believing
Speaker:that there was some truth to it.
Speaker:And so that was just, that was continuing to circulate this, this
Speaker:sort of like dark energy, right?
Speaker:This evil energy.
Speaker:But all it was was nothing.
Speaker:It was just ideas, right?
Speaker:So I, I cleared all that out and uh, and then my friends were laughing.
Speaker:They, 'cause they were, one of my friends was standing back and he said, yeah,
Speaker:I've never seen anything that he said, I wish I had a video because like the,
Speaker:the sky got dark and came and then like, it rained and then all the, everything
Speaker:parted and clear and there was sunshine.
Speaker:He is like, it looked like some kind of crazy movie.
Speaker:And, um, I didn't think much of it, but uh, five years later I came back.
Speaker:I visited the same friend we were walking through, and uh, and she
Speaker:said, oh, I, I never followed up with you, but there's a school there now.
Speaker:They, they built a school on the property.
Speaker:They cleared it off, built a school, and there's like this, I don't remember, was
Speaker:it fountain, but they'd made something right in that place that used to be the
Speaker:scariest spot that nobody wanted to go in.
Speaker:And she said, just cleaning the energy now, now they're actually
Speaker:utilizing that big vortex of energy.
Speaker:And, uh, yeah, I was, and I was just super happy.
Speaker:'Cause I, I didn't have any intention.
Speaker:I was just a tourist, but I happened to be there and, uh, I saw the
Speaker:energy and didn't take it seriously.
Speaker:And is that perhaps what strengthens or what identifies us with that
Speaker:darkness or what pulls us into it is it is taking it serious?
Speaker:It is identifying with it and it is fearing it.
Speaker:Ultimately, that gives it its power.
Speaker:Yeah, well, it's, um, I would, I would say that it's, it's looking at
Speaker:the stories rather than the energy.
Speaker:So stories can be very scary.
Speaker:So here's a story about the history.
Speaker:Here's a story about a person.
Speaker:Here's a story about, um, something that happened.
Speaker:All of that can create a lot of fear and tension.
Speaker:It's easy to focus on that.
Speaker:It's something tangible, think everybody can agree on.
Speaker:You can tell the story and other people can tell the same story and so on.
Speaker:But if you look at the energy, it's completely different.
Speaker:So instead of, and this works on a big scale or you know, kinda
Speaker:like the one I described, but it also works on a small scale.
Speaker:Like if you're, if you're talking to a friend and you notice yourselves
Speaker:getting down on something or somebody else that's not there, just notice
Speaker:like, ah, what are we talking about?
Speaker:Are we talking about this?
Speaker:Are we just talking about the story?
Speaker:Or are we talking about some energy underneath?
Speaker:I love to make this shift when I, when I find myself being negative in some
Speaker:way, um, I notice it and then say, okay, I'm, I'm just stuck in some story.
Speaker:And then, uh, what, what else is happening?
Speaker:Same thing we said before.
Speaker:Just let my awareness expand what's happening beyond the story.
Speaker:Oh, really interesting.
Speaker:This story is happening because this energy is stuck over
Speaker:here and it's not circulating.
Speaker:Ah, that's, that's why I'm, but I'm fixated on this part.
Speaker:If I'm fixated on this part of the stories, I can't, I can't see
Speaker:the energy, I can't change it.
Speaker:I can't start circulating something different.
Speaker:So the story would be, a person's consciousness is hijacked
Speaker:by a dark or evil entity.
Speaker:That will be the story that is scary, that is fearful, i'm a victim.
Speaker:I need to protect myself, I need to guard my energy.
Speaker:All of it only inducing more fear and getting us, so to
Speaker:speak, in a negative vibration.
Speaker:But if we switch out of that in your own words and, and look at the energy,
Speaker:it speaks a different language.
Speaker:If there's, uh, if, if it has to do with other people, it, sometimes it helps to
Speaker:remember that, somebody that's causing pain and confusion and like, sort of
Speaker:spreading it in the world, there's only one reason that ever happens is that pain
Speaker:and confusion is circulating within them.
Speaker:Because it's circulating within them, just like if joy was circulating
Speaker:within them, it's resonating out and and caring to other people, right?
Speaker:And, uh, if I, if fear and confusion is, you know, somebody's circulating
Speaker:that and it's re and it's resonating to other people, that's gonna create
Speaker:a lot of scary, confusing stories about what's going on in the world.
Speaker:And, uh, and it's easy to fixate on those and miss the fact that, uh, there's
Speaker:another human in pain and confusion.
Speaker:I can't imagine how much they must be hurting to be, you know, creating
Speaker:this pain and confusion in the world that person's really hurting inside.
Speaker:Like, suddenly when you see the energy automatically have compassion
Speaker:the other, for the other person.
Speaker:It doesn't make all their, you know, necessarily make their
Speaker:actions acceptable or desirable.
Speaker:But, you can still put that aside and look at the energy of the person and the human
Speaker:and say, I, I have compassion for them.
Speaker:I hope they feel better.
Speaker:What, from your perception, what happens to someone who is circulating
Speaker:this dark energy or, or fearful energy and doesn't become aware of
Speaker:it, and what happens when they die?
Speaker:It, it depends.
Speaker:But if they're, if they're really fixated on something, like if we're
Speaker:really fixated on something and we die, well, we tend to stay fixated on that.
Speaker:I, I worked, I spent a lot of years working with ghosts.
Speaker:Probably worked, you know, it some point now I've probably helped more people
Speaker:than ghosts, but for a long time I'd helped more ghosts than people, right?
Speaker:And it was kind of always the same story.
Speaker:So, you know, when I, if I, if I found a ghost or if somebody felt like, uh, they,
Speaker:they had a being inside them, like they were possessed in some way, or, you know.
Speaker:So what we do is just, you know, uh, find the energy of that, that
Speaker:spirit, that person who had died.
Speaker:And the, the script is really simple.
Speaker:I, I'd first say, I, I actually learned this, uh, you know, I was
Speaker:gonna school for this, oddly enough.
Speaker:And, uh, the script is really simple.
Speaker:So I just say like, uh, hi, you know, I can see you.
Speaker:And then usually that's like, oh, well, okay, so I just got a hello.
Speaker:Nobody's said hello to me 'cause I don't have a body anymore.
Speaker:That ghost is kind of surprised.
Speaker:And then, um, started chatting a little bit, you know, Hey, what do you want?
Speaker:What's up?
Speaker:And then at some point I'd say, did you know that you're dead?
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Because right where, where they are is, they're stuck on something right here.
Speaker:Like I said, just looking around like they're fixated and whatever, whatever
Speaker:energy they couldn't let go of in life, the, the story that they had
Speaker:that was so strong they couldn't let go of it is still there when they die
Speaker:and they still, and that's why they're hanging out here around the planet.
Speaker:' Cause they don't need to be, right?
Speaker:And so, uh, just, you know, saying hello to them saying, uh, another
Speaker:thing I'd ask is, uh, what year is it?
Speaker:And then the, they'll be like, uh, 1995.
Speaker:And I'm like, it's actually 2026 right now.
Speaker:So just pushing that picture back a bit.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Did you know you died?
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Picture's getting further and further away, right?
Speaker:And as you do this, and then it's like, okay, so did you notice
Speaker:the big, uh, light up there?
Speaker:Did you see that?
Speaker:Oh, like, that's your next step.
Speaker:Like, you don't have to stay stuck in the story.
Speaker:Usually that's enough.
Speaker:You know, just seeing, seeing that it doesn't, like I'm not asking
Speaker:them what bad things they do, why are they hurting somebody?
Speaker:How do I protect them?
Speaker:How do I attack them?
Speaker:Like, none of that matters.
Speaker:It's just what's happening with the energy.
Speaker:Just like people that are alive, they're still stuck in some pictures,
Speaker:some information, some story.
Speaker:So just help put a little distance there, show 'em a next step and have compassion.
Speaker:Almost always, they go.
Speaker:This differs very much from the spirit guides who are helping
Speaker:humans evolve in consciousness.
Speaker:So one is stuck on the kind of human plane, and the other is perhaps,
Speaker:if we can say, so consciously choosing to support humanity.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Very different.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Ghosts.
Speaker:Ghosts are basically just, uh, just like stuck.
Speaker:People that didn't, you know, they haven't noticed yet that they died.
Speaker:Um, it's, I mean, uh, occasionally I bumped into ghosts that knew they
Speaker:were dead, but that was very rare.
Speaker:Um, they'd have to be really upset about something to still stick around.
Speaker:There's so much more I want to ask you, but the, let's, I want to fi
Speaker:finalize with one, one question here.
Speaker:We hear about people going through some kind of astral journey or having
Speaker:very powerful out of body experiences.
Speaker:Is there a danger there?
Speaker:Not danger in the sense of, oh, an evil entity will come.
Speaker:That's the story, yeah.
Speaker:But, but is there, is there a risk with going too much out of the body
Speaker:and kind of losing one's own center?
Speaker:how do I describe that?
Speaker:Well, first thing I would say is there's, it, it's a lot of fun,
Speaker:like traveling outta body, doing all these things like super fun.
Speaker:I can get it.
Speaker:I, I got into that and played with that, you know, for a while.
Speaker:But I would say there's no information out there that you need.
Speaker:Everything you need is in here, in your life in the present moment.
Speaker:So it's, it's basically just, um, it's kind of an.
Speaker:It's interesting to notice your capabilities are greater
Speaker:than you thought they were.
Speaker:So that's, that's really powerful, really expanding.
Speaker:But, um, it's always gonna be more powerful to just be back here in
Speaker:your body in this present moment.
Speaker:You know, just breathing, feeling the chair you're sitting on, feeling your
Speaker:feet on the floor, touching your hands.
Speaker:You know, doing something to bring you back to the moment, uh, is, is gonna
Speaker:be much more effective in your life.
Speaker:Because if you, if you're not here, if you're spread out all over the
Speaker:place with your energy and attention, it's hard to do simple things, right?
Speaker:That's why when you, you know, if you're walking to the bathroom at night,
Speaker:sometimes, you know, spend, I'll just bump my shoulder into the wall 'cause
Speaker:I'm not really in my body, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Uh, you don't wanna walk around in life like that.
Speaker:So, you know, is there a danger?
Speaker:Uh, a little bit.
Speaker:You're not gonna have as much fun, you're not gonna be very effective.
Speaker:But there isn't a danger, like, uh, existential danger, like,
Speaker:um, that you're harming yourself.
Speaker:Uh, I would say it's, it's kinda like, uh, sometimes I like to go to Disneyland
Speaker:and just ride the rides and have a lot of fun, but I don't wanna ride them all
Speaker:day, every day for the rest of my life.
Speaker:You know?
Speaker:I want to, to come back and then be in my life and focus on kind of the here
Speaker:and now and the same kind of thing.
Speaker:I, I love that it kind of brings the conversation full circle, that,
Speaker:that the real power ultimately lies in the present and in this moment.
Speaker:And this is where the answers are.
Speaker:And that also, it's very practical.
Speaker:I always like to say that the spiritual journey is quite
Speaker:paradoxically, extremely practical.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If you want to, um, if you want to make a lot of change or be really productive
Speaker:at work or in your relationships and so on, uh, just focus more on being present.
Speaker:You know, let, letting it be okay that you're, have energies to
Speaker:releasing, like we mentioned earlier.
Speaker:And let, let yourself expand more and, and, and see what, what's
Speaker:beyond the stories I'm hearing.
Speaker:And all of a sudden you'll notice that, oh, I'm, I'm
Speaker:connecting more with other people.
Speaker:I'm resonating with them in a way I didn't realize it was before.
Speaker:And the, the same life is being lived with a different feeling of being
Speaker:present, a different awareness, a different fullness to it than you.
Speaker:And, and you didn't, maybe didn't change anything on the outside.
Speaker:Same job, same relationship, same haircut, you know, but, but all
Speaker:of a sudden you're experiencing it in a, in a much richer way.
Speaker:That's, that's gonna lead to new conversations and job opportunities and
Speaker:you know, I mean, everything feels like it opens up when you're in that state.
Speaker:' Cause you're participating in this life fully, I presume.
Speaker:You are.
Speaker:You, you are here quite literally.
Speaker:And I suppose the outer body experiences can become a form of running away from
Speaker:this present moment life because the heavy energies will most likely come up in the
Speaker:present moment and not when we're going out of the body and kind of visualizing.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I, I think it's, it's great.
Speaker:Like I, I've, you know, tried, you know, any, uh, thing you can
Speaker:imagine that's like a far out there or, I love trying all this stuff.
Speaker:It's really nice, but it's, it's also nice to kind of come home to
Speaker:the present moment, to the body.
Speaker:That's, that's where fulfillment comes.
Speaker:It's not, it's not out there.
Speaker:You don't have to chase it.
Speaker:Just, just come right back here and find it.

Speaker:course that I just made that's all experiential about kind of awareness and
Speaker:easy ways to be present in the moment.
Speaker:So it's like five different ways to be present and to, and
Speaker:to come back to the moment.
Speaker:And, uh, it's, it's very simple.
Speaker:It's like maybe two minutes a day, just a little tool and then you
Speaker:just practice throughout the day.
Speaker:And, uh, that's kind of the best, um, best tool that I've created
Speaker:recently is, it's really fun.
Speaker:Just 'cause it's all experiential.
Speaker:No, no lectures, no information.
Speaker:Just doing it.
Speaker:I love that because it has to be simple because ultimately
Speaker:the truth is simple, isn't it?
Speaker:It has to be simple.
Speaker:If it's complex, it brings us back into the mind.
Speaker:Yeah.
