• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Come Back to Love with your host, Robin Vogel.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Each week at this same time, Come Back to Love
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: covers an endless array of topics related to relationships, love,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and intimacy, along with all the reasons you may be
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keeping love at a distance. Can a shattered heart be
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: your doorway to your greatest love story? Robin will give
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you practical tools that can be used to heal the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: past and help you to safely love again. And now,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: today's Come Back to Love.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Hey everybody, shout out to all of my listeners. This
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: is Robin Vogel and this is the radio show Come
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Back to Love. Welcome, welcome. Today, or actually yesterday, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: we're still moving into the energy, is the fall equinox.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy to be doing a radio show on
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: one of my absolute favorite days of the year, where
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the balance of the light and the dark is is
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: perfectly equal, perfectly balanced. Just one of those days that
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I really love. And I'm so happy to be here
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: today and able to chat with you about the light
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and the dark. One day of the year when light
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and darkness are perfectly balanced, equal 12 hours of each,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: neither winning. Most years it passes without much ceremony. The
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: calendar turns a page, the weather shifts. I'm in New England,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: so it gets kind of cold out here. People start
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: thinking about sweaters and pumpkins and general acceleration of fall
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: is happening. And I have to say it is true.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I am sitting here with a blanket wrapped around me
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and yesterday I had a fire in my fireplace. The
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: weather is definitely changing out here in the Northeast. But
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I want to stop here for a moment because I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: think the equinox is pointing at something we don't talk
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: about enough. And it's why I love this day. Not
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in astronomy, not even in spirituality exactly, but in love.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Here's what I mean. We live in a culture that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: is very comfortable with the light, with growth and healing
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and positivity and forward momentum. with the idea that the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: goal of all this inner work is to get to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a place where we are whole and open and radiantly
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: available for love. And that's not wrong. That is definitely
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a wonderful thing to aspire to, to experience, to move towards.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: But the equinox asks a different question. Not how do
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: we get to more light? Because remember, neither one, the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: light or the dark, is winning here. But what happens
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: when we learn to stand in the balance? When we
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: stop running from the dark and stop hiding in the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: light and simply stand at the threshold where both are true?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That threshold, I believe, is where love actually lives. I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Robin Vogel. This is Come Back to Love on KMET Radio.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: We are live on Thursdays. 1.30 p.m. Pacific, 4.30 p.m.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Eastern Time. And today, in honor of this moment, when
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the earth itself pauses at the balance point, we're going
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to talk about what the light and the dark have
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to do with your capacity to love and be loved.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So stay with me. I want to make a distinction
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: today that I think is important. When we talk about
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: shadow work in the healing world, and I've done a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: lot of it personally and professionally, we're usually talking about
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the traumatic shadow, the wounds, the parts of us that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: were hurt or neglected or shaped by painful early experiences,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the grief that never got to be grieved, the anger
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that had nowhere to go, the shame that moved in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: quietly and never quite moved out. That shadow is real
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and the work of meeting it with compassion, with courage,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: with the right support is some of the most important
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: work a person can do. But there's a second kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of shadow that I don't hear talked about nearly as much.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And it's the one I want to address today because
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: here's what I've noticed in 20 plus years of sitting
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: with people in this work. Many of the most conscious, self-aware,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: spiritually awake people I know have done the first shadow work,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the deep work, the therapy, the retreats, the IFS work,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the somatic healing. They have sat with their wounds and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: met their parts and rewired their nervous system and done
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: everything the books and the teachers and the programs asked
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: them to do, including me, by the way. And they
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: are still in some quiet, persistent way, not where they
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: want to be in love. Not because they haven't healed enough,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but because there's a second shadow in They haven't met yet.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I call it the shadow of the unexpressed self. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: not the wounded part of you. It's the unlived part
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of you. The part that knows at a soul level
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: that love is possible in a way that you haven't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: yet experienced. That connection can go deeper than you've allowed
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: it to go so far. That something in you is
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: still holding back, not out of fear exactly, but out
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of a kind of profound unfamiliarity with what it would
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: actually feel like to be fully met. This shadow doesn't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: come from trauma. It comes from not yet knowing. And
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: it's the quietest shadow of all because it doesn't announce
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: itself the way grief or anger does. It just sits
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: there like a door you have never opened. You hardly
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: even know the door is there. I didn't. In the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: back of a room, you thought you knew completely, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: realize once you get there that you didn't. The equinox
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: is interesting to me because it doesn't ask us to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: eliminate the shadow. It doesn't say now is the time
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to flood everything with light. It says today, just for
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: this moment, hold both. Stand at the place where they meet.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: That is where I want to take you today. Thank
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you for joining me. I want to say something that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: might surprise you. If I haven't already. You can hide
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: from love in the light just as effectively as you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: can hide from it in the dark. Yeah, I'm going
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to say that again. You can hide from love in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the light just as effectively as you can hide from
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it in the dark. In the dark, hiding is obvious.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: We close off, we pull back, we build walls, we
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: shut down. We choose unavailable people, we get busy, oh,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I'm so busy, I couldn't possibly, I don't have time.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: We tell ourselves we're fine on our own, we're totally independent.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: The protection is visible, even if only in retrospect, looking
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: back on it, you know. And we've talked about this
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a lot on the show, actually. But hiding in the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: light is subtler, and in some ways, more tenacious, because
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it looks like growth. It sounds like I'm still working
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: on myself. I'm not ready yet. I need to heal
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: this one more thing before I can be truly available.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Once I make enough money, I'll really be completely free
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to date. I'm doing my practices, my journaling, my meditation.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I'm getting clearer all the time, but I'm just not
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: clear quite yet. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: can fill in your blanks there for yourself. All of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: that is true. And all of it can also be
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And I can say this with some enormous compassion, a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: very sophisticated way of staying safe. And why do I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: know this? Because I have done it myself. I did
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: it for years, years and years. Mine was like some
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: of what I just said before, you know, I'm so busy.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Once my business is settled, I'll be available. I kept
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: meeting unavailable people. Yeah, I'm very independent. I am very independent.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But I had to learn that I can be independent
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and dependent both. So there's a lot of ways to
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: hide in the light. Again, very, very sophisticated way of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: staying safe. Because here's the thing about healing as a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: way of life, it can become its own protection. If
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I am always in the process of healing, always one
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: retreat away, one breakthrough away, one more layer of shadow
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: work away from being ready, then I never actually have
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to arrive, I never have to stand in the open,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: fully visible, fully available, and risk being truly seen by
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: another person. It's scary, that can be scary, for sure,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to stand there naked and let yourself be seen. Such
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: a practice. And it is A lot of what we
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: practice actually in my workshops and retreats, just standing, just being,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: allowing yourself to be seen, letting the veils go, taking
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: down the protection, sitting, breathing, eye contact. It's not that
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: easy and so incredibly valuable to practice. So the light
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: can be armor too. I'm not saying stop the work.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Please don't stop the work. I am saying notice if
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the work has become a reason not to arrive. Notice
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: if spiritual growth has become a substitute for the intimacy
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: you're actually looking for. Notice if healing has become so
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: comfortable that love, real messy, uncertain, vulnerable love, feels somehow
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: besides the point. The equinox doesn't ask us to choose.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say drop the healing, leap into love. That
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: would be reckless. And it's not what I'm suggesting. Equinox says,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: can you hold both at the same time? Can you
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: be someone who is always growing and someone who is
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: available right now? Can you be someone who is who
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: still has work to do and someone who is already
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: worthy of love they want? Like you still have work
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: to do, but you're also already ready. Those are not opposites.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: They are the balance point. And learning to stand there
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: to live in that balance rather than oscillating between too
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: much light and too much shadow That is one of
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the most advanced pieces of this whole entire journey back
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to love. So what does it actually look like to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: stand at that threshold? I'm guessing you are asking that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: question because so far it's, you know, it's specific, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: also vague. Like what does that threshold actually look like?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: To hold both the light and the shadow with love.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I think it looks like this. It looks like being
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: willing to want love, really want it, not as a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: spiritual concept, but as a lived embodied daily experience without
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: making that wanting mean something is wrong with you. It
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: looks like acknowledging the places that are still tender, the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: old wounds, the protective parts, the ways you still sometimes
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: pull back without using them as a reason to keep
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: love at a careful distance. So it's like acknowledging your childhood,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: acknowledging your past, acknowledging heartbreaks, Acknowledging that you still have
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: parts that protect yourself, but just not allowing those to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: take over, right? Not allowing those to lead, not allowing
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: those to keep you separate from the love that you want. Instead,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it looks like being in the shadow of what hasn't
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: happened yet. The relationship you haven't found, the depth of
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: connection you haven't felt, the love that hasn't landed yet
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: without collapsing into despair about it or pretending it doesn't matter.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And it looks like standing in the light of who
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you actually are, the growth you've done, the growth you've experienced,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the healing you've embodied, the wisdom you've earned, without using
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: that light as armor against the vulnerability of being truly known.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: The threshold, this threshold, is not necessarily comfortable. I want
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to be honest about that. It's easier to be in
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the shadow where at least you know what you're dealing with. Well,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: some of the time. And it's easier to be in
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the light where everything looks like progress and forward movement.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: The threshold requires you to be still enough to feel both.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And in my experience, both personally and professionally, it's in
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that stillness that the most important shifts happen. Not more
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: efforting harder towards healing, like working, working, working. Not when
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: we're protecting ourselves more cleverly, like I shared some of
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: my very clever ways of protecting myself over the years.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: But when We stand at the balance point and let
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: both truths be present at once. I've done so much
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: of this work and love hasn't fully landed yet. But
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: both are true. Some love has landed and I continue
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: to do my work. And holding both without resolving either
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: is where something new becomes possible. I'm going to share
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: a practice, but I'm also reminded to share one that
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: was taught to me years and years ago. And I'll
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: just share this one first. If you're in a space
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: where you can do this, or if you're listening in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the car while you're going for a walk, you can
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: do it later. But I invite you to go to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a doorway in your house, like a space where you're
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: moving from one room to the other room. I suppose
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you could do it at your front door as well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: but I did it between two rooms, let's say between
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the kitchen and the dining room. So there's a doorway
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and there's a, you know, I'm not remembering what you
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: call it in this moment, but just that space, the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: transitional space. And I stood there right in the transition
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of the space, feeling the light and feeling the shadow.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Perhaps I was feeling the shadow as I leaned back
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and the light as I leaned forward. Shadow behind me
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: was in the kitchen and the light in front of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: me was in the dining room. And it just allowed
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: my body to sway into the shadow and into the light.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: And I swayed back and forth many times before just
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: landing in the center and not moving forward or back.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Just being with both. It's a really just subtle but
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: very deep somatic practice of embodying the light and the dark.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And just noticing which way your body wants to sway,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: but coming back to the balanced place in the center.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: It actually comes from an Osho meditation, for those of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you that might know Osho. Anyway, that's a first practice
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to invite you to. And there's another one, also simple.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: And it might be one of the most honest things
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I've ever asked you to do. Tonight, or sometime this week,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: when you have a quiet moment, I want you to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: sit with the two statements. Just sit with them. Don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: try to resolve. Don't try to make one of them
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: more true than the other. Just let both be present
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: at the same time. The first statement is I've done
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: real work on myself. I've grown, I've healed things. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: didn't think I could heal. I am not the same
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: person as I was five years ago or 10 or 20.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Just let that land. Really let it in. You've earned it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Just take stock in what you've done to grow and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: heal over the years, no matter what, whether it was
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a little or a lot, it all really deserves your acknowledgement.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And I invite you to take a breath into that
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and let that land. Let that really be. The second
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: statement is this. Love hasn't fully landed. There's something I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: still longing for. A depth of connection. A felt sense
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: of being truly known. A love that reaches the parts
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: of me that are still waiting. And you might fill
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: in the blank with your desire for being seen and
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: cherished and adored. Let that land too, without making it
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: mean something is wrong with you at all, without turning
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: it into a project or problem to solve, just acknowledging
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: love hasn't fully landed in the way that I want
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: it to, the way that I have wanted it to,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the way that I expect it to in my life,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the way I deserve to have love. So just be
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: with that. Take a breath into that second statement. So
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the first part is I've done real work. I've grown.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I'm acknowledging all that I've done for myself has been
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: so amazing. Send yourself some love, put your hands on
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: your heart, take that love in. And the second statement,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you might keep your hands on your heart and just
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: notice I'm still longing for love. It hasn't landed in
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the way I really am craving and wanting in my life.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Both.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Both are true. Both can coexist. This is the equinox practice,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: holding both the light of what you've become and the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: shadow of what hasn't arrived yet. And notice in that balance,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: what wants to move? That's a really great question. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I want to invite you to put these two practices together. Actually,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I want to invite you to Find a doorway or
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: a threshold and feel the work you've done behind you.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And again, really sink into it. Actually, acknowledging work you've
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: done is one of the most important things you can
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: do for yourself. People sometimes just blow that off like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I did that. I totally healed from a major heartbreak
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: and betrayal. But now I'm just worried about, you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: what's happening in the future. It's like, okay. Let's just say, wow,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you healed from a heartbreak and betrayal. That's amazing, actually.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: A lot of people don't. A lot of people don't
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: choose it. A lot of people don't know that that's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: even a possibility to heal from heartbreak and betrayal. It
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: 100% is possible. Absolutely. Spread the word. If you're one
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: who believes that. That's part of my mission statement. So
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: really acknowledging yourself. You know, really acknowledging yourself, patting yourself
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: on the back, you know, not from a place of ego,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: but from a place of like, yes, I have this capacity.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I've taken this on. I value myself. I value healing.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I want to love myself more. I love myself more
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: than I did, you know, five years ago or last year,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: whatever it is that's true for you. Really, really acknowledge yourself.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Stand in that. Feel your feet at the threshold. Feel
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: your body. take some breaths, feel it run through all
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the cells in your body. Yeah, just let that be.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And notice, just notice, there might be other parts that
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: show up that want to, you know, say otherwise, or
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: just let those parts step aside. And IFS, we say,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: allow those you know, invite those parts to relax back.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we send them to an imaginary waiting room, just
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: allowing you to give space to fully acknowledging yourself without
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: any interruptions from other parts, you know, that might want
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: to sabotage this beautiful moment of acknowledging yourself. So as
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you're standing in that threshold and all of that is
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: behind you, but with you, right? Because you're standing in
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the both and in this moment, but it's behind you
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: because it's in the past.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: But also it's very, very much in the present, all
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the gifts that you received from all the healing you've done.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And again, whether it's been a little bit of healing
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: or a lot of healing, it doesn't matter. It's just
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: acknowledging what it is thus far in your life. And
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: then have a breath, still standing in that threshold and
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: bring in that You know, that desire, the longing, a craving.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: What is that? What does that look like for you?
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Get a visual of that and see it in front
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: of you. And again, it's not really actually in front
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of you, though it is in the future, perhaps. But
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the way that I see it is it's also in
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: the present. The energy of what you desire, what you're
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: longing for, what you're craving. a sense of being truly known,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: truly seen, safe space to be vulnerable, excellent communication, a
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: place where you can find your balance and your ground
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: in relationship and love, to be loved, to love another,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: all the things that feel so good. Let's add great sex,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: excellent intimacy, connection, play. I mean, the list goes on, right?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Whether you're partnered or not, you might have a longing
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: and a craving for something else, something different. So, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: whether you're single and want to stay single or you're
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: single and want to be in partnership or you're in
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: partnership and you'd like the relationship to grow, this information
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: is for all of you. Absolutely. So just standing in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: that threshold and feeling that present slash future space. relationship
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: that lands for you. And just really take that in,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: allow that energy to travel through your body to go
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: down to your feet to ground all the way up
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: to the crown of your head and beyond. And just
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: really bathe in that energy too. And this is the
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: equinox being with all being with everything that exists, not
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: polarized parts, not othering, not this or that, not the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: grass is greener over there. I mean, oh my gosh,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: our whole world is filled with that energy. This is
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: about being with what is in this moment. And both
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: are true. And that's why I love the equinox so much.
• 22:48
