- 0:01Hello, and welcome back to the Spiritual Shitshow podcast.
- 0:04My name is Julie Nguyen, and for this episode, I want you to grab your coffee, your tea, your favorite journal, because we're gonna deep dive into the concept of abundance.
- 0:15There's been an abundance series that has been an unfolding of teachings that are happening in Energy Club on Monday night.
- 0:21Monday night, I host a event on Zoom.
- 0:24It's kinda like coaching meets intuitive channeling work in community.
- 0:28It's incredible.
- 0:30The information that the guides are always bringing in is a lot.
- 0:35It always is blowing my mind, And it's always an invitation of practice.
- 0:40Practice these things.
- 0:41So I wanna share with you one theme that has been coming up over and over and over, is how to get yourself into the energetic frequency of abundance.
- 0:50I know I have a lot to work on in the abundance realm.
- 0:55one of the analogies that the guides have brought in is this, what they've been calling your penthouse life.
- 1:01And the guide said,"Describe your penthouse life.
- 1:05Get into the elevator.
- 1:07Press the button for the penthouse, and go up.
- 1:11When you get out of the elevator, what do you see?
- 1:14How does it feel?" But here's the spiritual and psychological hiccup that most of us experience.
- 1:20Most of us have only ever lived on the first floor, and on the first floor, the view is kinda blocked, it's noisy, it's cramped, but it's familiar.
- 1:28Because we've only lived here, we have absolutely no idea how spectacular, expansive, and breathtaking it is to live with a view from the very top.
- 1:39So we start doing our spiritual work, right?
- 1:41We start playing with energy.
- 1:43We get into the elevator, but instead of pressing PH for penthouse, we think,"Well, I don't wanna be too greedy, and I don't wanna ask for too much, and it's okay, so let's just go to the third floor." We get to the third floor, and we're like,"Oh my gosh, this is way better.
- 1:56It's a little bigger.
- 1:57There are some windows.
- 1:58I can actually see some trees.
- 2:00This is great." And then the universe whispers,"Go a little higher." So we get back into the elevator, and we push the button for the ninth floor, and we step out, and it's beautiful, and there's space, and there's lights, and there's windows.
- 2:17And we tell ourselves,"This is it.
- 2:18The ninth floor is incredible.
- 2:19It's close enough to the top.
- 2:21I have friends who live in the penthouse, and I am so happy for them, but the ninth floor is totally fine for me.
- 2:27I'll just stay right here." And right here is the spiritual trap.
- 2:31I know when I do this work, I have a hard time actually allowing myself to get into the penthouse.
- 2:37I am the one that feels comfortable with being on the ninth floor.
- 2:41It's high enough.
- 2:42It's big enough.
- 2:43It's close enough to the top.
- 2:45But there's a worthiness part for myself that I can't really see myself attuned to the frequency of abundance and allowance Of living a penthouse life.
- 3:00So why do we resist going all the way to the top?
- 3:04Why do we step out of the elevator before the doors open to our ultimate unlimited abundance?
- 3:10Psychologically and energetically, it's because of two things.
- 3:14The"not for me" belief.
- 3:17We look at the penthouse and think,"That's for other people.
- 3:20Someone else gets to have the ultimate penthouse life, but I should just be grateful for what I have." And we disguise our lack of worthiness as modesty or being realistic.
- 3:32The other trap is the comfort zone trap.
- 3:34The ninth floor is comfortable.
- 3:35It's better than the first floor, so we have made enough progress.
- 3:39We stop stretching our energetic capacity because the unknown of the penthouse feels too foreign.
- 3:47And the guides are telling us we have to energetically practice creating a state of abundance and worth in our lives.
- 3:55We have to build the muscle of believing we belong at the very top.
- 4:02This is the gap, the distance between the floor you innately feel comfortable stopping at and the penthouse.
- 4:09our job that we are working on in Energy Club is to close that gap.
- 4:14So this week's home play, we're not just talking about this, we are practicing it.
- 4:18This week, your spiritual home play is a two-step morning practice to prime your energy for the penthouse.
- 4:25This is why I invited you to get your journal out.
- 4:28So journal prompt number one, every single morning, open your journal and write down,"What does my penthouse life look like?" Don't filter yourself.
- 4:39Don't worry about how it will happen, but I want you to begin to practice what it feels like to have that penthouse life realistically.
- 4:49Like how do you really feel?
- 4:51And then catch yourself like that actually when I write it down, it feels like a dream that's never gonna happen, or it feels freaking amazing.
- 4:58what's stopping me from pressing that button all the way up to the penthouse?
- 5:02And then I also want you to feel like what does it feel like to wake up there?
- 5:09Who is the person who is waking up in that penthouse?
- 5:12What does your bank account look like?
- 5:14How do you spend your time?
- 5:16What does your health, your joy, and your freedom feel like at the very top?
- 5:21And then number two, we wanna find the gap.
- 5:25So as long as you're not driving right now, I want you to practice this really quick.
- 5:30Close your eyes and visualize stepping into the elevator.
- 5:34So just take a pause, feel into your body, visualize the elevator doors opening, and you're stepping into the elevator.
- 5:45The doors are closing And you're reaching out to press the buttons.
- 5:50And what floor does your body naturally, innately want to press because it feels safe and comfortable?
- 5:58So what is that level floor for you?
- 6:01And then do you instinctively reach for the third floor or the fifth floor?
- 6:04Do you hesitate at the ninth?
- 6:07And just notice again that feeling.
- 6:10This is your baseline, and this is your gap.
- 6:14Once you identify where you are stopping, don't judge yourself.
- 6:18Just say,"Ah, there it is.
- 6:20there's my boundary." And then with a deep breath, consciously press the penthouse button.
- 6:30Practice standing in the elevator all the way to the top, letting your nervous system adjust to the height, the view, and the absolute expansion of your worth In our next episode, we're gonna deep dive into the powerful energetic piece that follows this layout, but first, let's just start here.
- 6:51We start by building the blueprint of your penthouse life and acknowledging where you've been stopping yourself.
- 6:58You deserve the view of the top, my friends.
- 7:00You didn't reincarnate a thousand times to spend this life staring at the brick wall on the first floor.
- 7:05Get into the elevator, press the button, and let's go up Thank you for practicing with me.
- 7:13Thank you for being here, and continue to embrace the beautiful, messy spiritual shit show of life.
- 7:20Till next time
