  Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Sound Within. My name is Hannah Rose, and I am your host.
• 0:11
  And I just wanted to come on here and chat about some things that I was thinking
• 0:21
  about when I was in the shower.
• 0:25
  There's something about taking a shower that cleanses you not only physically
• 0:32
  but also mentally and spiritually and i was just thinking,
• 0:44
  i at certain points of my life have been very very very very mean and nasty,
• 0:54
  to some of the people that have
• 0:56
  been closest to me and also complete strangers who I may not even know.
• 1:09
  And so, with that, I am just sitting here thinking about how I'm not who I was.
• 1:25
  I don't have an obligation to be who I was at any given point of my life.
• 1:34
  Just because I made a habit out of it or that is how some people remember me.
• 1:49
  Because every day that I wake up, I have the opportunity to be a better person than I was yesterday,
• 2:00
  for myself and for my family. and for the people that I love.
• 2:09
  And obviously, when, you know what, it might not be obvious,
• 2:16
  but for me, it is obvious that when I was treating others like that,
• 2:24
  it was because I felt badly about myself,
• 2:32
  and I hated existence.
• 2:36
  I was miserable.
• 2:39
  And there wasn't a time where I could say that I was happy and grateful, because I wasn't.
• 2:47
  I was sad and ungrateful.
• 2:53
  And not every portion of your life is going to be enjoyable.
• 3:01
  People are going to experience tragedy and not-so-happy days,
• 3:11
  but it's those days that really shaped me into who I am today,
• 3:24
  and those days shed so much light on my current days,
• 3:31
  because I can sit and feel so grateful for all the happiness and abundance that I soak in every day.
• 3:52
  And I'm sure that a lot of you that are listening also have times in their life
• 4:01
  that you may not have felt like your life was worth living.
• 4:11
  Not to sound morbid.
• 4:16
  But somebody that popped into my life And I'm just thinking of this.
• 4:25
  Someone popped into my live stream the other day and said that it wasn't worth
• 4:29
  it to breathe or honor their breath because they felt as if their reality was far too broken.
• 4:41
  Because i was saying how they can ground anything that they would like to into
• 4:46
  this reality as long as they took the time to honor themselves and breath,
• 4:56
  but once again they said that they felt
• 4:59
  as if their reality was far too broken and that it wasn't even worth it to consider
• 5:06
  sitting down and being a part of this practice of intentional breath and sound healing.
• 5:19
  And I was not upset with the person whatsoever. I more so felt really sorry for them.
• 5:30
  Because everyone deserves to even if for a second,
• 5:40
  enjoy their reality and I know I always say this but every single person experiences
• 5:47
  their reality different not one person is going to have the same exact experience as another,
• 5:55
  now we do typically share a lot of experiences we have shared experiences,
• 6:07
  and each experience is a hundred percent different than the next,
• 6:13
  and in a way that's so beautiful because as
• 6:17
  i was saying when i started this episode is that I don't have any obligation
• 6:22
  to be who I was just because it is a habit or because that's how they remember
• 6:30
  me or I have just decided that that is now my identity.
• 6:40
  But in my own words, I can decide what my own identity is.
• 6:49
  Lots of things are going to affect what I see my reality as.
• 6:58
  But at the end of the day, it's a magical, beautiful thing that I get to rest
• 7:06
  my eyes in a comfortable bed and wake up.
• 7:10
  Every single day, with breath in my lungs and sun shining on my face,
• 7:18
  my family alive and well.
• 7:25
  And those are things that sometimes I take for granted. I'm not going to speak
• 7:31
  for the collective. I'm just going to speak for me.
• 7:35
  I take things like that for granted.
• 7:39
  I always have. And I've always been a bit ungrateful, but I am flipping the script on myself.
• 7:51
  And maybe I'm flipping the script on everyone else, too, because I am as everyone remembers me.
• 8:04
  But I have as of recently just really began to,
• 8:16
  and I don't know what the word for this is except just be authentically me and
• 8:24
  I don't know what the word for this is,
• 8:30
  And I guess within the past six months,
• 8:36
  I mean, this whole podcast is me talking about my experience and my journey
• 8:42
  spiritually, mentally, physically, my journey in life.
• 8:50
  And as of recently, when I had this spiritual awakening through intentional breath,
• 9:04
  I had this overwhelming feeling of joy and peace and love that I just wanted to spread.
• 9:15
  And so maybe perhaps I have spread it too quickly because it seems as if I am
• 9:25
  possibly overwhelming the people around me.
• 9:33
  But once again, it's my experience. So I can take that for what it is and not
• 9:42
  worry about what everyone else is thinking or observing or perceiving about
• 9:48
  my reality and my existence.
• 9:54
  And so as of right now, I am diving into being more authentic and more raw rather than.
• 10:08
  I suppose, doing what I have been doing, which for a little while,
• 10:14
  I was faking it till I made it. And that's okay to do.
• 10:19
  There's nothing wrong with manifesting
• 10:23
  your reality and your experience in whatever way is best for you.
• 10:30
  So if that means waking up every day and spreading the utmost positivity that you can with the world,
• 10:38
  even if it doesn't feel 100% authentic or real just yet,
• 10:45
  you are just practicing your heart muscle, which is what my best friend Amber June shared with me.
• 10:55
  Because I told her the one day I said, hey, you
• 11:00
  know what's strange is I find it It's so easy to
• 11:03
  hold space and be loving and be compassionate for people that I don't know that
• 11:11
  may be interested in my healing modalities that I would be sharing with them online or in person.
• 11:27
  If I am taking the time to do that,
• 11:32
  And I'm feeling it authentically. But also having a hard time making these connections
• 11:40
  with the people that are closest to me in life.
• 11:44
  Simply because of resentments, past experiences.
• 11:52
  You know, it could mean anything to you.
• 11:57
  But what I'm doing is I'm just exercising my heart muscle.
• 12:02
  So that eventually I can extend that love and that positivity to also the people
• 12:09
  closest to me and to myself.
• 12:14
  And so I suppose that's what I've been doing by sharing the healing modalities
• 12:22
  that have tremendously helped me and changed my life for the better.
• 12:29
  By sharing that with others and extending my love and my energy to others,
• 12:35
  I am exercising everything that I want to embody.
• 12:44
  And yes amber june was the inspiration for everything that i wanted to embody,
• 12:51
  i remember saying that i just had so much love for her and that i wanted to
• 12:58
  be everything that she was and it's because she allows herself to play she allows
• 13:06
  her inner child to come out to play.
• 13:09
  And it's not that she is not a normal person that experiences normal human emotions and experiences,
• 13:18
  but it's what she did with that that made it so beautiful.
• 13:25
  How she transmuted all of that through breath and sound and connection.
• 13:35
  And I stopped wishing that I could be like that, and I started doing.
• 13:44
  Because for me and my existence to really find peace,
• 13:53
  and what I'm doing, I needed to stop looking at everybody else and wishing that I had what they had,
• 14:00
  but instead taking inspiration from the beautiful things that I saw in others
• 14:06
  so that I could embody that and live out my existence feeling free from all
• 14:17
  of the limitations that I had once placed on myself.
• 14:23
  I'm going to end it with that, because I believe my message has been clear.
• 14:35
  And again, this is just an authentic expression of my experience.
• 14:43
