Tap In 🫵✨ · Peace in a Pod

0:00
Hey, hey, soul tribe, welcome to peace and the pod.
0:04
I am Loretta and thank you all for tuning in today.
0:09
You know, I know that I am not the only one who felt like I was
0:15
stuck on a hamster wheel trying to figure out the maze of life
0:22
and got to a point where I was so frustrated and lost that I
0:33
didn't even know who I was anymore.
0:35
I was pretty much losing myself because of the environment that
0:39
I was in. And I knew that I was not meant
0:44
to continue this kind of life for the rest of my life and
0:50
there had to be a change. So I want to talk a little bit
0:54
about tapping in and I felt like my last work environment that
1:01
was toxic. It actually pushed me into a
1:07
place where I needed to tap in. I always had big dreams for
1:14
myself. I grew up in a very small town
1:17
in Texas, but I always like felt that I was not going to stay in
1:26
Texas forever. I wanted to travel.
1:29
I wanted to see the world, I wanted to experience other
1:32
cultures and other people, and I just knew I wasn't going to stay
1:38
there. So I was very determined.
1:40
Probably around maybe 15 or 16. I knew that I would once I
1:47
graduated, I knew I wasn't going to stay.
1:49
I just didn't know what I was going to do to be able to travel
1:54
and move around because I didn't grow up in a very wealthy
1:57
household. So I knew that whatever I was
2:01
trying to get for myself, I was going to have to do it by
2:06
myself. And I know that I am not the
2:08
only one who, you know, people would probably consider me a
2:13
dreamer because I do have. They're not even dreams.
2:18
They are desires. They're what is meant for me and
2:26
I know that there's there are others that are out there like
2:29
me. And you're not a dreamer.
2:32
You are a person with a destiny that you are walking towards.
2:37
We are born with light and magic within us, but society
2:45
conditions us and grooms us a certain way and creates these
2:49
beliefs and these fears. I mean, that's just, that's just
2:55
how it is. I mean, you know, your parents
2:59
learn from their parents and then they teach you what they
3:02
were taught to believe. And it's just the cycle just
3:05
continues and continues. So sometimes we don't really
3:08
know unless we question or challenge what we're taught.
3:14
And, you know, I'm the type of person I always, I won't say
3:19
always, but when I was younger, I did have a lot of questions.
3:23
But I grew up in a household where, you know, my, my dad was
3:26
a very, you know, children stay in a child's place or grown
3:30
folks are talking type of dad. So I knew that I couldn't always
3:36
chime in in in conversations because that wasn't a place for
3:40
me. But as I got older, when I
3:44
became my own adult, you know, I started having the conversations
3:49
and questioning things that I just kind of felt like, why are
3:52
we doing it this way? Why is it, why does it have to
3:54
be this way? Why can't we do things another
3:58
way? Or why do we have to do or live
4:01
this way? Like to me, it didn't make sense
4:05
that we were just kind of falling into a mold.
4:08
And I didn't want that. I didn't want the same lifestyle
4:13
that my parents had. And they did the best they could
4:17
with what they had. I appreciate my mom for
4:21
everything that she's done. And my dad passed away over 15
4:25
years ago. But my parents did what they
4:27
could with what they had. And I appreciate everything that
4:31
they gave to me and provided for me.
4:35
But I just didn't want that kind of lifestyle.
4:41
I wanted more. I want it better.
4:43
And I knew that I could get it. I just didn't know how.
4:45
So over the years, you know, I was pretty adamant about getting
4:52
what I wanted. Once I had my mind set on the
4:58
target, it was pretty much no talking me out of it.
5:02
You know, I paid for my first car when I was 16.
5:05
I bought a cash car and I was proud of myself.
5:08
I actually paid for my own driver's Ed in order to get my
5:13
license because I was, I had a part time job at a medical
5:17
clinic and through the work study program in high school.
5:21
But I was very determined to have my own money, to have my
5:24
own car. I was going to get what I wanted
5:27
and I was successful. But when I got older, you know,
5:33
I started, I didn't really think much about how and what I was
5:40
going to work, like how I was going to have a career and what
5:45
it was specifically that I was going to do.
5:49
But I knew that I wanted to have a career.
5:51
I wanted to be able to have a retirement set up.
5:54
And you know, the typical work 20 years, retire, then travel
6:01
the world and live free. And, you know, that's just how I
6:08
was viewing the world from what I've seen other people's lives.
6:15
And that was what I thought and how I thought, you know, I
6:21
should live as an adult. But then several years ago, I
6:29
had a bit of an awakening. And during that awakening, I
6:37
felt like I don't have to do the 9:00 to 5:00.
6:45
I don't have to work 20 years and then I'm free to go do what
6:51
I want in life. No, I can do those things now.
6:56
I don't have to commit myself to a certain amount of time for
7:00
someone else taking all my time and energy.
7:05
I can control my time and energy, and that's what I chose.
7:14
I do believe the last job that I was in put me in a position
7:18
where I didn't have a choice but to tap in.
7:25
I went through so much in that job that it was changing me.
7:36
I mean, it was changing me in a good way, but at the time it was
7:42
changing who I was, like with the people around me, and it was
7:51
not a good change on the surface.
7:55
I was able to take a step back and start reflecting inward on
8:05
how I was viewing things, how I was handling things and bellow
8:15
says hi. And once I started doing that
8:18
internal work and trying to basically tap into like my
8:29
spirit self, because I know that we are spiritual beings living
8:36
in a human form, and I was approaching things from like the
8:44
surface level and I knew that there was more.
8:48
I just didn't know like how to get to it.
8:53
So once I started taking some time to just kind of sit by
8:55
myself, like after work, I would just kind of sit alone and just
9:02
not really think, but just kind of try to clear my head.
9:06
I would just really just sit or lay somewhere and not really
9:10
think about anything. And by doing that, I was able to
9:16
go deep, deep, deep within and look beyond the surface level.
9:23
And there was some things that, you know, way I handle
9:26
situations, I would react rather than respond.
9:30
So I started looking at different approaches of how to
9:36
handle those situations where I would not continue to get the
9:39
same kind of interaction. So I decided I'm going to face
9:49
whatever it was that was creating these these situations.
9:54
So I did shadow work and once I was able to kind of address like
10:03
evaluate address and reengage what I took from that, I started
10:15
noticing like a shift in my life.
10:20
I was feeling better. The situation itself wasn't
10:25
necessarily getting better, but I started feeling better.
10:30
I stopped being bothered by how other people were, were behaving
10:39
and I stopped putting like so much energy and extra into that
10:49
role. I chose to focus on me.
10:54
I chose me over that job. I chose to not allow those
11:01
people to get a reaction out of me.
11:04
I pulled my energy back and I was no longer bothered by that.
11:10
I still did not enjoy the work environment because I knew that
11:13
those types of people would not change.
11:16
There was nothing I could do or say that that was that was going
11:19
to change their mind. That was an environment that I
11:21
just had to not be a part of in order for me to actually have a
11:25
full Peace of Mind. But the fact that I did the
11:29
shadow work and saw a shift, I felt like I had tapped into
11:34
something. I got excited and I was just
11:36
like, I think I'm on to something.
11:37
So I continued to go deeper, to go further.
11:43
I did face those fears and those insecurities that I was feeling
11:48
at the time. And I, and I faced them because
11:51
I knew that in order for me to heal and move forward, I had to
11:55
face them. And the inner work had to be
11:59
done before I could move forward.
12:02
And it all started because I just wanted to be alone because
12:06
of like the frustration of my job.
12:11
I mean, I, I had a career in human resources, so I constantly
12:15
dealt with people, not just like in the team that I was supposed
12:20
to be on, but helping these individuals get jobs.
12:24
And, you know, providing advice, answering questions, just a lot
12:28
of engagement with people. And it was a very thankless job.
12:34
People always took, took, took and very rarely did you get a
12:39
thank you. And I'm not talking like, you
12:42
know, like some awards ceremony type of thank you.
12:45
I'm simply talking about, Hey, thanks for, you know, helping
12:49
out. You know what, whoever, thanks
12:51
for, you know, all the hard work you, you guys do thank, you
12:55
know, a simple, just appreciation of your, your
12:59
employees. And that was like something that
13:01
was apparently was extremely hard to ask for because no one
13:06
seemed to, to, to get a thank you unless you like one of the
13:10
goody 2 shoes. Those guys always got recognized
13:14
and it didn't matter how much work the other people put in is
13:18
whatever that's that's a whole nother story in itself.
13:21
But my point is I took the time because of that environment to
13:28
sit with myself to tap in. I took the time to evaluate what
13:35
was going on, evaluate my reactions in order to change the
13:43
situation to where I wasn't feel feeling drained in any type of
13:49
way. I wanted to control my energy
13:52
and my peace. And I I wasn't able to do that
13:57
by the way that I was reacting. So I, like I said, I took some
14:01
time after work and I did this for quite a few days, probably
14:05
weeks, but I took some time to just sit with myself and I just
14:15
sat in a quiet place, no TV, no phone, no music, no people, just
14:23
me. And I mean, every now and then
14:26
Bella would come and join me, but I would just sit quietly.
14:32
And, you know, at first I was thinking about everything and,
14:37
and trying to like evaluate, you know, where did I go wrong in
14:40
this situation? What am I not seeing or what am
14:43
I missing? And once I started, oh, there's
14:48
a hawk flying by. So pretty once I started like
14:58
thinking about how I could control the situation from my
15:03
side, that's when I was able to just kind of feel a different
15:09
energy. So after that, I, you know, I
15:16
started making these different approaches to situations
15:22
whenever they would come up. But, but over time, I stopped
15:26
thinking of like stuff and things that, that were like
15:31
worrying me because I wasn't really like clearing the energy.
15:37
I was just thinking, just sitting in a quiet place,
15:39
thinking all the time. And I, you know, I, I would try
15:43
not to like come up with these crazy scenarios of like how
15:47
things will play out. I just was trying to like think.
15:53
And that was somewhat interfering with me relaxing.
16:02
So if there wasn't a specific situation that I was trying to
16:10
change from like for for me, within me, then I wouldn't
16:16
think. And I say like, don't think.
16:21
And you know, our minds are like always going.
16:22
And it's like, what, what if? And you know, why did they and
16:27
how come I didn't? Your brain just is always going.
16:30
But I I try to take a few breaths, relaxing slow breaths
16:37
and just open myself up to receive information.
16:45
I wanted to know what it is that I need to do from my end in
16:53
order to make the situation better.
16:56
And, you know, we all, we're human beings.
17:02
So we applied things from a, a human perspective, like a from a
17:07
surface level. And I was trying not to apply
17:14
things from that level because the way that I've been applying
17:17
it, it hasn't been working. So it's like, why would I
17:19
continue the same cycle when nothing's changing?
17:22
So I wanted to make a change, and the only way I could do that
17:26
was to stop doing things from the service level, which is why
17:32
I started tapping in. And when I started tapping in, I
17:37
started receiving guidance. I would pray, ask whatever
17:48
question I needed to ask, and then just be still.
17:54
I would just be quiet and I would just lay there.
18:00
And then information started flowing.
18:04
Everything I needed started coming to me and I was quite
18:10
amazed at how the moment you be still is the moment you start
18:18
receiving. When your internal self is
18:23
tapped in spiritually, you will start hearing and receiving the
18:29
information you need. But you have to quiet the mind,
18:35
quiet your surroundings, Just quiet.
18:39
Be still. That's the only way to explain
18:41
it. Just be still.
18:43
We're called human beings because we need to just be and
18:48
we don't. We're always going and thinking
18:50
and doing. Just be and the information you
18:54
need will be heard and received. Now know that there's not a time
19:00
limit of how many times you'll have to do this relaxation.
19:06
I don't want to call it meditation, but it's just simply
19:08
clearing your mind and and and clearing everything out of you
19:13
by just sitting and being still or laying and being still.
19:17
So there's no time limit how many times you'll have to do it.
19:20
It really depends on how relaxed you are in order for you to make
19:25
the connection. So just know you are not a
19:31
dreamer, you are a person with the destiny that you are walking
19:37
towards. So get out of your head and tune
19:41
into your spirit. Do the shadow work and watch how
19:50
much things shift in your life. So tribe, it is time to tap in
19:58
and get to your divine purpose. Thank you all so much for tuning
