Talking ‘Bout My Evolution

I talk about how the universe has been conspiring me to look at all the objects, beliefs, traditions, habits, etc. that I need to release.  I explore some of the areas in which I've been holding on the tightest and really need to let go.

I talk about how nice it feels to be working in the shop again and discuss some of the ways that this Mercury retrograde seems to be affecting me.

I talk about how Caroline Myss referred to this quotation in her book Defy Gravity and how it can be a very powerful way to stay in the present moment and really notice everything and give thanks and appreciation for it, because this exact arrangement of movements, thoughts, objects, etc. will never come again -- even when you are participating in a routine task.  Nothing is ever exactly the same the next time you do it.

I talk about how this is the season of limited breath/ing and how it's impacting people's and the economy's health and life force.  

I talk about how I sometimes need to change my state and am so grateful that I can do that when I need to.   Today my higher self told me that if I don't like what my mind is thinking or how I'm feeling - change my state.  So I did.

I also discuss what I'm learning about how I problem solve by doing puzzle after puzzle.

I talk about the 5 questions that I began discussing in the last podcast re: my ideal client and what their current challenges in life are, what have they tried to do that didn't work to solve the problem(s), what do they fear, what do they hope to feel like when they solve their problem and what do they want?  I take on these questions and try to work through them.

I talk about last week's KBB Accelerator Club homework, which consisted of 5 thoughtful questions that would help my dream client identify what they want, what isn't working for them/what have they tried already in their pursuit to get what they want and 3 other questions.  I asked the first question - what are the top 3 challenges you're currently facing? on my personal FB page.  I said I was looking to hear from perimenopausal and menopausal women, divorced or soon-to-be-divorced, and/or an empty nester or soon-to-be.  I received 6 responses and they didn't jibe at all with what I was hoping to hear.  I dissect why the answers were so different and talk about how my values seem to be different from most of the people I know.

I talk about how living in my apartment underneath my loud neighbors is getting on my last nerve.  Then I discuss my latest meditation which told me once again that everything is going to be ok.

I talk about meditation in general today and the best way to start it and why you want to begin a practice, even if it's only to quiet your mind for 2-3 minutes a day.

Then I discuss my meditation today in which I simply laid down on the beach (in my meditation) and grounded for about 20-30 minutes.  While I was lying there thinking that this was a lame meditation, negative emotions and feelings started coming up and my Higher Self directed me to notice them and then let them flow out of my body and into the earth, so they could be changed into positive energy.  After moving some easier negative emotions, I finally reached the elephant in the room -- apathy and laziness.  These two emotions didn't want to move and were lodged in my chest like a giant block.  My Higher Self told me to release all judgment on these emotions, because they were a result of trauma to my physical and energetic bodies.  Once she said that, the tears started flowing, the block broke up and the emotions drained into the earth.  It was a profound and very healing meditation.

I talk about a recent transformative meditation I had, in which I went back in time to when I first had the thought that my body had failed me.  I explore how I felt about my body when I was about 8-10 year-old and how I never even thought my body was limited in any way.  Then I trace the first few thoughts that showed up and let me know I couldn't rely on myself, my body or my judgment.  In the meditation, I forgave myself and I describe how powerful that experience was.
