  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Spiritual Shit Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: My name is Julie Nguyen and my job, my passion, is to hold space for others so that they can feel, see, experience and, most importantly, discover their light.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Everything that I share and teach are all things that I personally am also learning or practicing, and today I'm going to be teaching self-love, self-love.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: How often do you take time allowing yourself to see your light?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It's so easy, especially with the mental chatter, to go straight into all of the things that you're not.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Self-love is truly about allowing yourself the time, the practice and the permission and there's excitement here when we can allow ourselves to truly be ourselves and all parts of self.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: This is true self-love.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Self-love is the embodiment of the Spirit, honoring the systems that make us who we are, understanding that we have control to change the mind, that the practice is really in leading from heart, from authenticity, loving completely the body, taking time to really celebrate how it shows up for you, how it's supporting you, how it is your chosen vessel for this soul journey, like when you really think about it, like whoa, like this is my hair and these are my eyes and this is my body, and this is the vessel that I get to experience this soul journey in, and I chose it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I chose to show up in this expression, and so self-love is really about pausing, pausing, pausing for a moment and almost like taking a soul's view of like who you are.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Like, fuck yeah, I chose to be here in this body and express myself in this way and to experience life and to share my gifts or really to experience life this way.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That is so powerful.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's kind of exciting.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And then after that it's like okay, so I can see, like how fucking cool is this?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: That I chose this experience, that I chose this body, that I chose this family, I chose it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Now let me couple that with okay.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The choice may not always be comfortable.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I totally get that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I totally get that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: On the other side of the track is like why would I choose any of this?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: But let's just pretend for a moment that you freaking chose it because it was going to be a fun ride and you were going to learn a bunch of stuff and a lot of the times, the things that are really hellish in our life and really fucking suck are the things that we use.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's the things that teach us forgiveness or compassion or alignment, or teaches how to show up compassionately for others, like there's a hesitancy there and saying that so let's just say, though for a moment, getting into the heart space, that you fucking chose all of this Self-love.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So then, what do you want to do with this experience?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: How can you allow yourself to integrate who you are with life and the possibilities of life and the excitement of life?

• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Look at how many times that you're a pry in a sketchy situation and proof that angels exist because you're protected.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Like, go back and just take a moment to see your life and to really fucking celebrate it.
• 5:53
