  Good morning from the Chicken Coop, bit noisy.
• 0:32
  Today girls are already laying eggs and letting us know where
• 0:35
  they're up to. So, today, we are talking about
• 0:40
  contrast and the power that contrast has to offer, you
• 0:44
  moment to moment. So, when you're not getting what
• 0:48
  you want, or you are getting what you want, that's
• 0:51
  information. It's basically hardcore
• 0:54
  information that you are being provided by the universe by God
• 0:58
  to tell you that you are on. Track or off track to your
• 1:03
  desires. Not necessarily to the things
• 1:06
  that you think other people want for you, but your own.
• 1:09
  So in other words, your own energetic vibration.
• 1:12
  The things you're putting off out there the energy, the non
• 1:15
  woowoo stuff, but the energy, you know, like attracts like so
• 1:18
  that piece is coming off of you and it's putting you on a path
• 1:24
  and the contrast is a great way for you to quickly delineate.
• 1:30
  If You are on or off path. And one of the challenges that
• 1:34
  we often have is reading our contrast because we get so stuck
• 1:38
  in the Fate. The fact that we have this
• 1:41
  information and it's not what we want.
• 1:44
  So we get frustrated with it. We take it on as a big point of
• 1:48
  frustration, rather than information and showing that,
• 1:54
  oh, listen, this is the exact opposite of what you want.
• 1:56
  So what would you like to do about this?
• 1:59
  See I look All the emotions and I look at all the actions and
• 2:03
  everything like that is information for us to be able to
• 2:08
  use apparently Dottie agrees right dot.
• 2:10
  Yeah. That's exactly what's happening,
• 2:13
  of course. So when you have that
• 2:15
  information coming to you, you have to use it, you can ignore
• 2:19
  it. Sure.
• 2:20
  And most people do, I want to be really clear about this.
• 2:23
  Most people ignore the information that they are being
• 2:26
  given in contrast they get frustrated with it.
• 2:29
  They get Angry about it. They have issues with it and all
• 2:33
  kinds of ways but they don't use it to their best benefit.
• 2:37
  I know this is, she's got a lot to say about this today.
• 2:41
  So when that happens, you have all this information that's
• 2:44
  being handed to you, you have to pause, you have to kick your ass
• 2:48
  out of the emotion. You have to say, wait, stop.
• 2:52
  I'm frustrated, I'm irritated, I'm angry.
• 2:55
  And instead of staying right there in that emotion, which is,
• 3:00
  Giving you that contrast you have to say wait what can I
• 3:04
  glean from this? What can I take away from this?
• 3:06
  The information that's in front of me provided by this contrast
• 3:09
  and I actually use that language with myself because I want to
• 3:14
  recognize that it's the opposite of what I want and buy me
• 3:19
  recognizing that it's the opposite of what I want.
• 3:22
  Then I have a really good chance of pushing my brain to shift out
• 3:28
  of that energy that emotion that I'm in quicksand.
• 3:30
  Occur because it's a huge contrast.
• 3:33
  So the power of it is not just that you're not getting what you
• 3:36
  want. Because I mean there's a huge
• 3:40
  power in that but it's not just that it's the lesson that you're
• 3:44
  learning in the process of how to stop yourself from going
• 3:47
  down. An emotional road, that does not
• 3:49
  feel the way you want it to be. And saying this isn't going to
• 3:53
  help me in the long run. So again the contrast is huge.
• 3:57
  It's like think about it this way.
• 4:00
  When I'm going to use for my chocolate people out there.
• 4:02
  I'm going to use a metaphor with chocolate because I think it's
• 4:05
  so important. You're at a chocolate bar and
• 4:07
  you're at a tasting and you've got all different types of
• 4:10
  chocolates there. And, you know, that you're not a
• 4:15
  fan of really dark chocolate. Let's say that 85% that ninety
• 4:19
  percent dark chocolate. You just know, you're not a fan
• 4:21
  of it. And somebody at the chocolate
• 4:24
  bar, who's the chocolatier says to you here.
• 4:28
  Let's take a taste of this one. We'll start here.
• 4:30
  And we're going to start with the dark one so that you can
• 4:33
  taste the level of sweetness. Because if you started at the
• 4:36
  sweet end, it's very difficult to get all the way that taste
• 4:40
  out of your mouth for the bitter.
• 4:42
  The bitter will become bitter. So you start at the bittern and
• 4:45
  you're like, oh no, I know. I don't like that.
• 4:48
  I know. I don't like that and they're
• 4:50
  like, yes, but it let's just try it and you keep resisting it
• 4:54
  instead of just saying, you know what, what information could I
• 4:57
  get from this and you take a little taste of it and it's not
• 5:00
  quite as bad. As you thought it's not quite as
• 5:02
  bad as you thought because the starting the taste of that was
• 5:06
  the first thing that you had. So I like to think of it as like
• 5:09
  you're at a tasting Bar with chocolate and I'm going through
• 5:12
  all these different opportunities of contrast.
• 5:15
  That's all it is just think of the different opportunities of
• 5:18
  contrast and eventually we all know we want to get to our
• 5:21
  favorite one. Whether you are the dark or you
• 5:23
  are the light, it doesn't matter how you want to think of the
• 5:26
  scale. You're just taking the tastings
• 5:28
  up the scale to find the one. That's Your best.
• 5:31
  And then, you know, that's where you are.
• 5:33
  Emotionally going to be moved the quickest.
• 5:37
  So contrast By Its nature is supposed to be different.
• 5:44
  It's supposed to give that to you does it mean it's bad?
• 5:48
  No, we have a connotation of thinking contrast, it's bad.
• 5:53
  Typically, it's kind of like, when someone says, oh, there
• 5:56
  will be repercussions or you will have consequences.
• 5:59
  Oh, God. That Word consequences.
• 6:01
  I never like that growing up because my father, used it all
• 6:04
  the time. But now thinking of the scale
• 6:07
  thinking of all the chocolate thinking about all this, I know
• 6:10
  it's just more information. So in contrast shows up, I don't
• 6:14
  have a bad Association to it and I don't have that feeling, I
• 6:18
  just think, okay, I have to have a little taste of this.
• 6:21
  So I know this is not where I want to be, and then I can start
• 6:24
  to move up the scale because that's what it does.
• 6:26
  You take a taste of it, you're like okay, it's not as bad, it's
• 6:28
  not great. I don't love it, not as bad.
• 6:30
  Bad, but I can move up. So visit a chocolate bar today.
• 6:34
  Figure out your contrast, enjoy it.
• 6:37
  I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:40
  Bye.
