Time Is a Healer: Burnout, Rest & Feeling Spiritually Disconnected 🔮 · The Psychic Explorer

• 0:00
  Time is a healer, I hear everyone say. It will
• 0:04
  get better, just take it day by day. Stand tall,
• 0:07
  stand strong, don't bear any weight. For that
• 0:10
  will only hold you back, and fate is that, just
• 0:12
  fate. We never know what's coming, it's best
• 0:16
  that way, you see. For who would want to know
• 0:18
  when there would be pain or misery? So think
• 0:21
  good thoughts and smile. You know that all is
• 0:24
  well. Keep moving on the path of life. You're
• 0:27
  not here just to dwell. For time is a great healer.
• 0:31
  For that is the deal. It's that moment when you
• 0:34
  need to rest, recuperate and heal. It's that
• 0:38
  moment when you need to rest, recuperate and
• 0:42
  heal. Ah, Janice, absolutely you could not be
• 0:47
  speaking more my language. Thank you so much
• 0:50
  for another absolutely beautiful inspired poem.
• 0:55
  Janice sent that in to me a few months ago and
• 0:58
  I've been waiting for a proper moment where that
• 1:00
  would make sense and I haven't released my scheduled
• 1:06
  podcast as usual and if subscribers and regular
• 1:10
  listeners will know I have actually missed out
• 1:11
  a week. And I had no idea what to talk about
• 1:14
  today, so I thought, right, get up in the back
• 1:16
  bedroom, switch the laptop on and just start
• 1:19
  talking. And as I did so, I thought, oh, I've
• 1:21
  still got one of Janice's poems to put on. And
• 1:23
  I listened to it and I thought, wow, that is
• 1:27
  apt. So hello, everyone. Welcome to this mini
• 1:32
  episode of The Psychic Explorer. It's been a
• 1:35
  minute, hasn't it? Blimey. I do apologize for
• 1:38
  missing a week. I know I normally go out every
• 1:41
  other Thursday. I have to be honest though, last
• 1:45
  Thursday I was not in a good place. I was very
• 1:49
  ill. I'm sure I have had COVID. I did do a test,
• 1:54
  but it came back negative. I'm pretty sure these
• 1:56
  COVID viruses are now evading the two -line tests
• 2:01
  that we all... put a cotton swab into our nose
• 2:04
  and the back of our throats not necessarily in
• 2:07
  that order. And it did come back negative, so
• 2:10
  I don't know, but I looked online and the new
• 2:13
  Nimbus variant, I had all of the symptoms, achy,
• 2:20
  very fatigued, swallowing razor blades. I woke
• 2:23
  up every morning and my throat, my god, every
• 2:26
  time I swallowed it was just horrendous. So yeah,
• 2:30
  it was not fun. I had a whole week off work and
• 2:33
  when you are self -employed, having a week off
• 2:35
  of work is not good, but one must rest and one
• 2:39
  must listen to one's body, mustn't one. And yeah,
• 2:43
  I have to admit, I've been feeling very burnt
• 2:46
  out, very drained. Run down is what I'm trying
• 2:51
  to look for, the phrase I'm trying to look for.
• 2:54
  There's been a lot of stuff going on. This is
• 2:57
  not going to be an episode where I drone on about
• 2:59
  my woes or my problems or anything like that.
• 3:01
  So don't worry. Don't switch off just yet, but
• 3:04
  more an episode just to sort of check in with
• 3:07
  you. But I have been feeling really run down
• 3:10
  recently. I'm very disconnected. I've not been
• 3:13
  doing any meditations, which is ironic because
• 3:15
  my last solo episode was one about meditations.
• 3:20
  There's a lot of stuff going on. in the background
• 3:23
  of life at the moment which has really been quite
• 3:26
  distracting and actually for me I found it's
• 3:30
  it's not been fun it's not been great but again
• 3:33
  not your problem completely mine but that's just
• 3:35
  to say that I have been feeling extremely disconnected
• 3:39
  I've been going to circle I've done a few readings
• 3:42
  and actually those readings have not gone very
• 3:44
  well or at least I don't feel that I've been
• 3:47
  in the right vibe for it So I'm wondering if
• 3:50
  actually my next solo episode should be about
• 3:54
  taking a break. Not taking a break, but about
• 3:57
  taking a break because that's what I feel like
• 3:59
  I've done. I feel like this illness has forced
• 4:02
  me just to stop. I basically sat on the sofa
• 4:07
  and I started a 30 -day Amazon Prime subscription.
• 4:15
  I intend to cancel it before the 30 days is up
• 4:18
  because I don't understand why you were subscribed
• 4:21
  to a service and then you got to still pay for
• 4:23
  stuff even after you have to subscribe to it.
• 4:26
  But I did get through an entire four series of
• 4:31
  Jeremy Clarkson's farm and I know he is a controversial
• 4:34
  figure, but I have to admit, I still do find
• 4:38
  him quite entertaining, providing he's not talking
• 4:41
  about politics or other. bullshit he doesn't
• 4:44
  really know what he's talking about but yeah
• 4:48
  so I've literally been sat on the sofa for a
• 4:50
  whole week and if I haven't been sleeping then
• 4:54
  I've been watching Jeremy Clarkson's farm and
• 4:58
  I have felt absolutely no no inclination whatsoever
• 5:03
  to get on the laptop to do some recording. I
• 5:07
  mean, to be fair, you wouldn't have been able
• 5:08
  to hear me anyway because my voice sounded like...
• 5:12
  sounded like I was dead. It sounded like I was
• 5:16
  a ghost. And also I was coughing every five minutes.
• 5:19
  And I did not want to have another bout of horrendous
• 5:23
  editing like I did on the first episode when
• 5:25
  I had that cough. So I just stopped. I've not
• 5:28
  done a thing. And it's been so nice. On Sunday
• 5:34
  night, before I went to work on yesterday, Monday,
• 5:38
  I'm recording this now on Tuesday evening. So
• 5:41
  yesterday was my first day back to work in a
• 5:44
  week. And on Sunday evening, I thought, oh God,
• 5:47
  I feel all right. I feel like I'm going to be
• 5:49
  okay. Can I just string out one more day? I thought,
• 5:53
  no, you got to get out, earn that coin, earn
• 5:56
  that money. So all that is just to say is that
• 5:59
  it's been really nice to stop and it's made me
• 6:02
  reflect on this on not in the podcast but also
• 6:07
  just my spirituality in general. You will know
• 6:12
  because I have said about it in or at least I've
• 6:15
  hinted at it in recent episodes that I have been
• 6:19
  feeling quite disconnected. I've not been feeling
• 6:24
  that same vibe. And I've really missed it. I've
• 6:27
  really missed just sitting and stopping and just
• 6:33
  absorbing the energy around me. But I've also
• 6:36
  learned to listen to what I do or don't need
• 6:41
  in that moment. And as I came up here this evening,
• 6:46
  I thought, right, let's do a quick episode. Just
• 6:48
  do a very, very small one, very short one, just
• 6:50
  to check in with everyone. And I was sat here
• 6:53
  and I thought, I don't know how to start it.
• 6:54
  And then I remembered that I had Janice's poem
• 6:58
  still that I hadn't shared with everyone. And
• 7:03
  I put it on and it just spoke to me, you know,
• 7:08
  time is a healer. Absolutely it is. So I'm giving
• 7:12
  myself that time. I'm giving myself, I'm being
• 7:15
  kind to myself. I'm being compassionate. I'm
• 7:18
  not putting any pressure on myself. I am just
• 7:22
  being and it feels really nice to say that actually.
• 7:28
  As I sat here and as I listened to Janice's poem
• 7:31
  I pulled a card and it's a lovely card. I'll
• 7:35
  post it on my Instagram account and the way that
• 7:40
  I interpret this card is this man is basking
• 7:43
  in the energy of the moon and of course at night
• 7:48
  when the moon is out It is in our nature to stop,
• 7:53
  to stop, rest and relax. And this moon is hovering
• 7:59
  above the mysterious pyramids of Giza, full of
• 8:02
  mysticism and full of wonder. And this guy is
• 8:09
  just stopping and looking and resting and the
• 8:15
  mysticism and the wonder is still there waiting
• 8:19
  to be discovered. but he is just pausing and
• 8:25
  basking in that glorious energy that comes from
• 8:29
  the moon and it's just occurred to me that as
• 8:34
  this episode goes out it is the night of the
• 8:38
  full moon I promise you I had not planned this
• 8:43
  this card was pulled completely randomly it is
• 8:47
  the buck moon so I know I don't really put much
• 8:52
  stock in the names of these moons but I am conscious
• 8:54
  that it is a full moon as this episode goes out
• 8:58
  and this card is depicting a big bright full
• 9:02
  moon and I'm gonna choose to take this as a sign,
• 9:08
  take this as a meaning that I just need to bask
• 9:11
  in its energy so yeah If my other half finds
• 9:16
  me in the hammock on Friday morning, chilled
• 9:19
  to the bone because I've been out all night,
• 9:21
  then yeah, there's no way I can do that. There's
• 9:25
  no way. I love my bed too much, far too much.
• 9:29
  So I'm going to start rambling now. And if there's
• 9:33
  any of that that resonated with you, then hey,
• 9:35
  take it too. You know, if you're feeling a bit
• 9:37
  rundown, if you're feeling a bit rough, if you're
• 9:39
  feeling like you're not really connected, take
• 9:42
  that time to look after you. Take that time to
• 9:47
  fill up your cup so that you can afford to fill
• 9:52
  other people's Just a reminder that I'm gonna
• 9:56
  try and get myself back on track and next week's
• 9:58
  episode is a good one It's another guest episode
• 10:03
  with a very lovely young lady called Delana Luna
• 10:07
  and we talk about sexuality and spirituality
• 10:12
  I know pride month was June or is June traditionally
• 10:16
  but where I live my local town stroke city our
• 10:21
  pride is in July so that's so yeah that's the
• 10:28
  excuse I'm using to put out this pride episode
• 10:32
  a month later than everyone else but uh You know,
• 10:36
  whatever. I don't think you have to have an entire
• 10:38
  month for Friday. It can be whenever you want.
• 10:40
  And it can be for when you need it. So it's a
• 10:43
  real good one. She goes really deep into this
• 10:47
  topic of spirituality and sexuality. And it's
• 10:50
  for everyone, even if you don't class yourself
• 10:53
  as a member of the LGBT plus community. Then
• 10:59
  this is still for you. There's still things that
• 11:01
  Delana says in this podcast episode, which really
• 11:06
  Chimes with me. Yeah, she hits quite deep and
• 11:10
  it's really interesting to self -reflect as well
• 11:13
  On what she says. So yeah, I'm really looking
• 11:16
  forward to releasing that one. So Without further
• 11:20
  ado, I'll leave you be have a wonderful rest
• 11:23
  of your week people take time for yourself And
• 11:27
  yeah, I'll speak to you next time. Take care,
• 11:29
  guys. Lots of love. Bye.
