It's not about the zeros, So what is it all about? Let's find
1:03
out Now here's your host and weekly friend, Jennifer Josh. Hey, y'all,
1:11
here we are. I'm so excited today is going to be such a
1:12
great day. I you gotta love tech, right like, we can't live
1:18
with it and or live without it, and sometimes it's a little frustrating.
1:22
So I basically had a computer meltdown with restarting my windows and all that craziness.
1:26
So I'm all, my cute little surface pro so might look a little
1:30
bit different, but it's okay. You can still hear me. And I
1:33
have my beautiful soul sisters with me today. We're very excited. We're going
1:37
to talk about an amazing topic, meditation and healing. What the heck are
1:42
either and why do we need them? Do we need them? Does it
1:46
change your life? Does it enhance it? Do you just feel like crap
1:49
because you don't do it good enough? Because I've been there as well,
1:53
and should we like give importance to this at all? So we are going
1:57
to bring on Miss petele In and Misscara, and we are going to share
2:01
a little bit about what we do and how we feel and what it does
2:06
in our life. So if you're first joining us, these are beautiful soul
2:09
sisters. We are missing Denise. Say hi to Denise's Nashville. She's having
2:15
a good time, so she's yeah, she's missing her, she's missing our
2:19
days. We should have sent her the link and said, hey, listen
2:21
to us live like that would have been hilarious. I don't even think of
2:23
that. So Denise is usually here with us. We do this once a
2:27
month, and so check out all of our other episodes because we get down
2:30
and dirty and we talk about real talk about all kinds of different topics.
2:34
And so I'm gonna let you, beautiful ladies, introduce yourselves because somebody might
2:39
be coming on for the very first time. So miss Karen, what's up
2:43
girl? Where are you at, what you do? Where you live?
2:46
Well? I am Karen Kavanaugh. I am a life and leadership coach and
2:50
an energy leadership coach, and I am in Santraroan, California and happy to
2:55
be here. So thanks for having me. And she lives. And they're
2:59
too little Kenny Ketties. I do my few little munchkins, my free kids,
3:04
I should say not little like they are literally not little at all.
3:07
They're the most beautiful boys like ever, so cute, so cute little kitty
3:10
cats. Love it, Miss Peelin tell us about you. Yeah, so
3:15
I live up here in Mount Shasta area, and um, I don't know,
3:21
you know, I'm gonna say, use my label as I'm a spiritual
3:23
astronaut. Oh aren't you fancy today? Right? I know everything else just
3:30
sounds you know, it's and it doesn't even capture the excitement with which,
3:38
you know, what I get to do every day. So so I think
3:40
spiritual astronaut is perfect. Oh my gosh, I love that. I love,
3:46
love love it. So I love how I think all of us have
3:51
set our lives up to live the lifestyles that we want. We're all different
4:00
and the lifestyles are different. But I was just thinking at the two of
4:02
you and then I'm like, okay, well I guess I did as well.
4:04
So throughout our years, we've literally evolved to different places that changed our
4:14
lifestyles and what we want now. And so I love how it's all like
4:17
come together to bring us all to where we're at now and where every single
4:21
one of us is living our freedom and our lifestyle that we actually want to
4:26
live. So it's really really cool. I love that. And we all
4:29
give back Dennis does as well. So we love being in of service of
4:33
others and so it's pretty cool. We all do it in a different way.
4:36
So it's it's it's awesome, awesome, all right, So let's dive
4:41
right in. Tell me about your meditation practice. If you have one,
4:53
so you get picked one, I don't know, it's like, am I
4:56
the same place for everybody at It's like zoom, you know because anyway,
5:00
Um so my meditation practice is it just depends. I love sometimes I'm really
5:08
like diligent. I have my and I love I have an app that I
5:12
use. Um, I use Insight Timer because you can do just a timer,
5:17
you can have guided meditations, you can just do music kind of depending
5:23
on the mood, and it tracks your meditation and when you're doing it and
5:27
how you're doing it and all that. So, UM, I love that
5:30
app for me when I use it. In this last week when I've actually
5:34
needed it the most, I've kind of checked out of my meditation practice.
5:39
And so the type a minus because I'm getting better. The type as in
5:45
me would normally go to that place of beating myself up for not staying on
5:51
top of my practice, and you know, or if I only do ten
5:56
minutes and I don't do sit for like, you know, two hours like
5:58
Petalon does, that I'm less than you know, and just like all the
6:01
little stories that kind of go in your head of of you know, what
6:05
I should or shouldn't be doing, and you know, in my mind,
6:09
any meditation is good meditation. Even if it's just three breaths to get present,
6:16
it's still good. So I this is. This is a really perfect
6:23
timing for me because you know, I was doing so great up to probably
6:28
like two weeks ago, and then it's just life happened, vacation, blah
6:31
blah blah, and now I'm off again, and it's like, okay,
6:36
this is and I feel it, like I can literally feel it in my
6:39
body that I need my meditation practice back. So this is a perfect reminder
6:45
to tomorrow morning. I promise actually after this call, after this podcast,
6:50
I'm going to meditate. Oh my god, I love it. Awesome,
6:54
awesome, thank you sure anytime. Happy to have a pod cast to get
7:00
you back on. Let's always have a podcast about what we're not doing that
7:04
we want to do, all right, yeah, yeah, Actually it's kind
7:08
of like having a party, so that you'll clean your house right right,
7:11
Yeah, for sure. I love that. So, Karen, I love
7:14
your honesty. I love you coming in and saying that, because we all
7:18
should all over ourselves, right, we always beat ourselves up. And this
7:23
word meditation has just really irritated me for what fifteen years now. It's like
7:28
whatever, because I am and have been type A focused. It's so hard
7:32
for me to get quiet and sit still. And I like, eat Love
7:40
Prey. I just watched again the other day. I'm like, there's no
7:42
way that I'm going to go sit there for like ten hours during the day
7:44
now. I would like to try, However, I just it's just not
7:47
I don't see myself as that person. So I started meditating by walking,
7:54
walking meditations, by movement meditations a lot like you said, the apps.
8:01
I love the apps, and then they'll take you down a hallway or buy
8:05
a river or whatever. That's how I had to start because I just couldn't
8:11
like just quiet it and I still am not even close to that, and
8:18
I cannot wait to share later. So stay tuned because I cannot wait to
8:24
share that. I can whole hardly one say right now, it doesn't matter.
8:30
It doesn't matter. If you've been doing it for two minutes, for
8:33
five minutes, for twenty minutes, for one year, for three it does
8:35
not matter, like it literally does not matter to get you where you want
8:39
to be. So it's very very cool. Glad. I'm glad you you
8:43
shared that. I am not. I've never been consistent ever and I've never
8:48
done the app. I just it's just always been hodgipadgi. It just been
8:52
crazy. And now with Peterlin, we're whole. I'm holding myself to Tuesday,
8:58
Wednesday, Thursday, every morning with her energetically at eight am, so
9:03
I'm, you know, twenty thirty minutes. I'm devoting that time to my
9:09
angels, my body, my chakras, my healing, my silence whatever we
9:13
want to call it, and grounding before that. Right, So, I
9:18
still feel like I'm in action. I'm not just sitting there like Buddha.
9:22
Right, I'm still more to like an in action meditation, but it is
9:26
absolutely life changing. I can feel my heart rate. Let me rephrase that.
9:33
I feel like I think my heart rate is slowing down. But I
9:39
can feel the stress leave, I can feel the grounding, and I can
9:43
feel that I'm not alone anymore. And it's it's it's absolutely it's absolutely amazing.
9:48
So no shoulda, would have could is whatever we can do, we
9:50
can do, right, I love it awesome. All right, miss um
9:54
Spiritual Astronaut, thanks for joining us on Earth today. Right, come out?
10:03
Yeah, okay, I'm back, Um I go and then I'm back,
10:07
so um here she is right here? Um so uh, I love
10:13
that you brought up the the apps. Um, I love that insight timer.
10:16
What's really cool about the insight Timer two is it tracks how many days
10:20
in a row you've been meditating, right, so like if you miss a
10:24
day or you go, you know it didn't use the insight timer today,
10:28
but I did meditate for half an hour, so I'm going to add that
10:31
session in so I don't miss a day. Because they give you stars and
10:35
rewards for however many you know. It's it's so for the A type personality
10:39
who's like, you know, I want to reward, right, it's really
10:45
it's really good. So and then the other app that I use too that
10:48
I think is lovely and and and oh my gosh, the content is amazing
10:52
is the Awakening app or the Waking Up app, but with by Sam Harris.
10:56
It's excellent. Um, I think it's about one hundred dollars a year,
11:01
but it's it's so worth it in every possible way, So I recommend
11:05
that too. You guys just named two sponsors that I'm going to call after
11:07
this and say, hey, would you like to sponsor my podcast? Because
11:11
we oh, yeah, absolutely, And then I so agree with you.
11:15
You know that it's it's about quality, not quantity, And if meditation is
11:20
to teach us anything, it's really to how to bring that sense of presence
11:26
into every moment of the day as we can. And it is as simple
11:31
as just breathing in, breathing out, and just leaning into the stillness of
11:37
that pause between the out breath and the in breath again. I mean,
11:41
that'll just like bring you right into the moments, you know. So I
11:46
think it's wonderful and it doesn't matter how much, just as long as you
11:50
know, as we're because that's the whole point is to not sort of like,
11:54
well, I will spend thirty minutes or five minutes being really present and
11:56
then I hope that helps me for the rest of my day, you know
12:00
kind of thing. It's like, you know, how do we really cultivate
12:03
a practice of being present. So yeah, yeah, so I don't know,
12:07
Sorry I did. I haven't been snorting cocaine. I have a cat
12:11
here or something. Okay, my allergies right for our listeners, people scratching
12:18
her nose, y'all, she's not like, that's right, touching my nose
12:22
and you know, well you do live in weed, that's right. So
12:28
now we are going to question you. Well, absolutely, and of course,
12:31
as usual, I'm always going against the crowd, right, cocaine and
12:35
weed. I don't know, it might. Yeah, that's a whole other
12:41
podcast. It's a whole other podcast. All right. Yeah, I love
12:45
it. I love it. Well. I love that we're so um honest,
12:50
because have you ever like been like, you know, in a room
12:54
full of people or whatever they're like, oh dude, you Oh yeah,
12:56
I meditated every day. Yeah, I do my fifteen minutes or whatever.
13:00
And it's almost like a shame that you're not in it, and that when
13:03
you're around a bunch of healers and conscious people and it's like, oh,
13:09
what do you mean you don't meditate? Like it's like an I breakfast.
13:11
Of course I meditate, And it's kind of like a who are you kind
13:15
of thing, and it's like, whoa, that's not what it's about.
13:20
Like the whole purpose, like you said, peopling is to get present,
13:24
and whatever helps us get present really helps. I started way back when,
13:28
and I remember at the firm, when I was at I had to put
13:33
alarm on my phone and I did it. I did it. Started with
13:35
three times a day breathe. It's all it said, just take a breath.
13:39
And I had to sit back, roll my shoulders because I was trying
13:41
to get into my princess from may Vou's program and receive and let people do
13:46
things for me. And I couldn't do that because I'm in my face going
13:50
type and I had to get this done and where's my star? No,
13:52
no, no, no no, And so I literally had to like you
13:54
know, roll my shoulders back, sit back just kind of and I still
13:58
have to do that, like I have to sit back and relax so that
14:03
I'm not trying to do fifty things and just breathing three times a day.
14:05
And then that wasn't enough. I needed to breathe every hour. And then
14:09
I had that on my phone, my alarm every hour to breathe. And
14:13
I feel like that was very helpful to me to be able to get grounded
14:18
and to like you said, get in the moment like it. It really
14:20
did help me. Did you guys have any other tips and take us?
14:24
I think that's really key is to start where you are Again, it's because
14:28
you can get as much as you as somebody else. You can get as
14:33
much out of five minutes if that's what you can do, if you do
14:37
it as somebody who can spend an hour or two like I tend to do,
14:41
you know, um, meaning that you know, if your capacity is
14:46
a thimble full, if you if you fill that thimble, it will build
14:50
and the thimble will become a bucket, and then the bucket will become you
14:54
know or whatever. Right, But the important thing is to is to fill
14:56
the capacity that you have now for it so that it builds, rather than
15:01
starting with a bucket and going but I only put a thimbleful into you know
15:07
what I mean. It's so it's it's really about shifting that paradigm and just
15:09
really um, you know, doing it that way. That makes sense?
15:13
Yes, I love that. So let's go on this whe This just just
15:18
came to me. What's the longest you've ever been able to sit still or
15:22
like, let's just say not even meditate, but like with no because we
15:28
know Peterlen's gonna blow us out of the water and I can't wait for her
15:31
to hear what that is. But like Karen, you and I like no
15:35
music, no TV, no reading, no phone, no nothing, and
15:39
just sitting still in silence, not mopping, not cleaning, not doing dishes,
15:45
just sitting. Can you think of a time that you've done for a
15:48
long time? Oh? Good, tell me all about it. Yeah.
15:50
Yeah, So I learned transient on meditation gosh, years ago, I mean
15:54
maybe twenty years ago, maybe something like that. And so you're taught to
16:02
sit for twenty minutes twice a day, and I did that twenty minutes twice
16:06
a day, and I learned how to do that, and there were times
16:08
where, you know, I would go beyond that twenty minutes. Sometimes it
16:14
was thirty minutes, you know, but I would say the top was for
16:18
me has been thirty minutes where I can just release, sit and be you
16:22
know, fully present and in that space of just presence for that thirty minutes
16:27
with and there's no there's no music, there's nothing when you practice transitentimitation.
16:33
It's just you and your mantra and that's it. So I remember that Oprah
16:40
introducing that into the prisons. She did a whole prison study about that,
16:44
and it literally changed their lives. And I was like, oh, I
16:47
wanted to get Parker in on that transcendental meditation that I forgot all about it.
16:51
Thank you so much for bringing that up. Sure, I forgot all
16:53
about that, but that's like amazing, that's cool. So we're going to
16:59
ask um peterle And after I go, um, you gotta get she put
17:07
her hand. Okay, I'm out. No no, no no, So
17:17
I'm probably like you, I really haven't done that much um for a long
17:22
period of time with nothing. Um. I will say that I had an
17:26
amazing experience with Petland the other day, and after I was still recording it
17:33
on Marco Polo, so I still had my phone there, so it wasn't
17:36
nothing. But I literally sat in the chair and bawled and experienced and reveled
17:44
and just sat in it. Oh my gosh. It was a long time,
17:53
I want to say, probably for me, a long time, like
17:56
an hour like it was. I'm like, I'm still here it, I'm
18:00
still it's still flowing like it's great, feels amazing, and so it wasn't
18:06
just completely silent, and I was still recording and stuff, but the feeling
18:11
was amazing and I and that is when I'm gonna talk more about it later,
18:15
So hang on, don't leave the podcast. That's going to be a
18:18
little bit later after the commercial. We are literally going to talk about that
18:22
because that was life changing, all right, Miss Peeln Meditation times, talk
18:26
about a little bit more about like because I know you've done like, I
18:30
don't want to say workshops, but you've gone and done like experiences places,
18:33
right, So I have done a lot of workshops, but not so much
18:38
in the spiritual, you know, realm because I was very I was still
18:42
really trying to stay very clear and the left hemisphere of my brain where you
18:48
know, we've got to like build a business and we've got to appeal to
18:52
you know, most people, and you can't get to woo woo and at
18:55
any rate. And you know me, I am all about like research and
19:00
learning and all of that, so I tend to naturally gravitate toward the sciences
19:03
and the physics and the theology and the philosophy of all of everything. So
19:07
so so. But for me, that was my way of staying somewhat close
19:12
to center between you know, between the spiritual realms, which I've always has
19:17
always been my thing. Really, it was just about how to get that
19:21
into the world in a more acceptable way. And um, and so you
19:26
know, I've I've started to really lean into my own guidance, mostly because
19:34
the more that I do learn, the more that I realized that my guidance
19:38
already knew a lot of that stuff and all it needed to do was I
19:42
needed to apply it. And you know, and you get to a place
19:48
where all of a sudden, all the little connections that the breadcrumbs that you
19:52
know, your guidance has been sort of you know, putting there, and
19:53
you kind of go, okay, well, um, that seems like it's
19:56
significant. So I'm going to put that in a box and keep that that
20:00
will make sense one day and oh oh this this is well, this makes
20:02
you know, it's like I'm not quite sure how to connect them all,
20:03
and then one day, boom, it all connects. You know. So
20:10
um, okay, so I'm not sure I'm answering your questions. Um,
20:14
but so and and of course, you know, guidance also UM leads us
20:18
to whether it's certain books or certain you know, webinars, or certain talks,
20:25
or certain speakers or certain leaders, and that you know, who are
20:29
who are genuinely trying to bring light to the world, not just build their
20:33
business in a sense, right, they're really genuine like they don't need the
20:36
money. They're in it to to spread light in the world. And UM
20:41
and and so and all of that is a part of following the guidance and
20:45
you know, just kind of expanding that that that that vibration in your life.
20:51
And the more that that happens, the more I just sort of lean
20:53
in and go, Okay, I'm on up for the ride. And that's
20:56
why I'm kind of the astronaut here, you know. So I'm I'm not
21:02
building the ship, but I'm not flying it, you know kind of thing.
21:04
So yeah, So, I mean, and there are people who spend
21:07
hours, you know, they do the workshops, they go to the meditation
21:11
retreats, they spend eight to twelve hours or whatever, you know, and
21:15
and you know, maybe someday I might do that, but I really enjoy
21:19
the longest I think I've gone is probably four and a half hours, you
21:22
know, of just meditating. But for me, I needed to do that,
21:27
and I really enjoy the experience of being in a meditative state. So
21:33
for me, that's it's fairly easy, I will say, But when I
21:37
was trying to do thirty minutes a day, I found it really I found
21:41
it really irritating. Yeah, me too, you know. And it wasn't
21:49
until I started to go longer that I started to really go, oh,
21:55
Okay, for me, this is what it's about. It's you know,
21:57
kind I have to kind of get past that thirty minute threshold, at least
22:02
I used to. Now I can sort of drop into it right away,
22:03
but I used to have to get past that thirty minute threshold for me to
22:07
really come into a place where, um, where I was, you know,
22:11
suddenly like this is what it's about. That Okay, I get it.
22:14
Yeah, And can you drop into it, um, the meditative state
22:21
every time right away? Um? Yes, I would say yes. But
22:26
I would also say that I have I have an unfair advantage to most people
22:30
because I've really set my life up to make that really conducive. So,
22:37
you know, I don't have, you know, a life partner, I
22:40
don't have kids, I don't have you know. I mean, I've deliberately
22:44
set my life up. That's why I moved up here, to change everything
22:47
so that I can really pursue this to wherever it leads, you know.
22:51
So yeah, that's cool. I love that. I love that. So
22:55
Karen, Um, you said you've taken a couple of weeks off when you
22:57
when you go act to your can. Now, I'm gonna just talk about
23:03
words, because, like she's saying, drop in the meditative state, what
23:08
does that look like for you? Dropping in? I'll have you both share,
23:12
because everybody's a little bit different, right, So how does it feel
23:15
like to you to drop in? Um? It's like this complete feeling of
23:25
peace and calm, and it's like you're present, but you're you're not asleep,
23:32
You're fully present. Or for me, I'm fully present. I'm gonna
23:36
speak for me. I'm not you, but I am fully present. I
23:40
am aware of my surroundings yet I am Like it's it's like almost like out
23:45
of body experience where it's just I'm not I'm not me, I'm not my
23:51
body. I am I just am right. It's just that place of that
23:55
I am, you know, and it's that that spiritual place it's not the
24:00
physical place, if that makes any sense, totally, totally. I think
24:04
it makes sense more if you've experienced it as well, because I've just like
24:08
recently been coming into all this fun stuff. So that's awesome. So Peele,
24:11
and what does dropping in look like with you? Yeah? So I
24:15
like to use that term because um uh, you know, and we all
24:19
experience it and and and analogize it in different ways. And I really like
24:25
the way that you because I agree with you, Karen, it is um.
24:30
It is about coming to that place of peace and oneness. Right however
24:34
you you know want to want to call phrase that, but um for me,
24:40
um. Interestingly enough, dropping in for me is literally dropping into the
24:45
center of my being. So I do use my corporal my body to to
24:52
really you know, like my heart area or my solar plexus area. It's
24:56
like it's like there's an anchor that goes from you know, the sun and
25:00
just literally almost and I'm just describing the sensation of it, it sort of
25:03
really drops down into my core and it quiets everything around me. So dropping
25:10
in for me is refers to not having to create that feeling because I think
25:15
when we first start off, we feel like, we have to create this
25:18
feeling, so we're actually in action, so we are actually the antithesis of,
25:25
you know, really just dropping in. And it also really points to
25:27
the fact that that reservoir of peace is always present. It's always there,
25:33
whether we are paying attention to it are not. So dropping in is literally
25:37
like just dropping into a pool that is always there anyway, you know,
25:41
sort of allowing it. So that's what it means for me. I love
25:45
that, and I love There's a couple of reasons why I like that.
25:48
So I'm going to share a little bit of my experience and then I'm going
25:52
to let you both talk because I'm gonna have to go get my core to
25:55
my computer because that's the way we roll here. I'm going to that I
26:03
just really never really was I don't think very successful. I was getting quiet,
26:07
it was great, and I was loving feeling at peace. And then
26:11
I did a sound bowl workshop. I attended a sound bowl which I'm actually
26:15
doing a meditation one on this Saturday. So I'll talk to you more about
26:18
that because I'm gonna need help. But I finally understood what you meant by
26:26
peace and dropping in. I literally melted into the couch, I had no
26:33
hands, I had no feet. I finally understood what everybody was talking about
26:40
with just being and it was the most relaxing feeling that was just like last
26:45
month. And I carried that calm with me for probably three or four days,
26:53
I think it was. And I even saw Shanna who did it,
26:57
who held it, and I'm like, I'm still I'm still relaxed. I'm
27:00
like, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I think that's
27:03
helped me with this practice because I was already working with Peteln and learning all
27:07
this and then that happened, and now I'm here and it's just kind of
27:11
all snowballed. And the other day when I had my experience with Petln,
27:15
after I am sitting there going I'm part of that tree, I'm part of
27:23
the sunshine, I'm part of the rays. Like it literally was nobody,
27:27
like you said, Karen, literally nobody. I was just part of being,
27:33
of just being and sitting there. It was such an amazing feeling,
27:38
like I love, love love it. So it is very addicting. So
27:41
now that I've had that, I'm like down for it. It's really hard
27:45
to explain, too, isn't it really hard to when because there are different
27:49
levels of feeling that way. You know that's true. So I'm going to
27:53
let you guys talk about that exact thing level say, like different levels like
27:59
maybe what like maybe I don't want to say a beginner because I've done it
28:03
for years and I still could never get to it. So it's not like
28:06
a beginner, but it would be like different levels of dropping in. Can
28:08
you talk a little bit about both of you talk about that and I'll be
28:11
right back. Karen, what do you what do you think that you know?
28:18
I don't I can't really speak to to that because I don't know that
28:22
I've had a lot of I mean, I shouldn't say that. I think
28:25
when I first started, um, it was you know, because you're I
28:30
had to go from the thinking brain, you know, and to and like,
28:34
okay, am I doing this right? You know? Am I noticed?
28:37
Like should I be noticing things in my body? Am I supposed to
28:41
be noticing anything? You know? So it's like completely like you said,
28:44
the antithesis of meditation, right, because I'm thinking I'm not just being right?
28:49
Um, So it could have went from and I still experience that.
28:52
It's like, oh here, I'm thinking you know, and and then and
28:55
then the other part is is the recognition of the thoughts, right, and
29:00
so thoughts are normal. It's part of the process, right, we are
29:04
going to think, and it's just recognizing the thought and then noticing it and
29:08
letting it go. Right. It's like clouds kind of floating by m So
29:14
there's I think that that's very much, you know, at the beginning level,
29:18
like oh my gosh, I'm thinking too much. I'm doing it wrong.
29:21
You know. It's like I spent all this time, I'm not doing
29:22
it right, you know, and just and that's just you know, that's
29:25
that was my crap. You know, that was my crop. The perfectionist
29:30
part of it, right of dealing with that, you know. And I
29:33
think as as you progress and as you and as I practice more and more,
29:37
you know, like you said, I mean I could drop in on
29:41
an airplane. It didn't matter where I was. I mean it was great
29:44
because I would be you know, using that time that beyond an airplane and
29:47
be flying somewhere on business and I would just take that, you know,
29:49
twenty minutes and you know, I got my meditation for the day. I
29:53
was able to put me get my little star that was great. But I
30:00
think that you know, and I you know, I've heard people that met
30:04
it of you know, like yourself too, that have meditated for these long,
30:07
extended periods of time, and I have not experienced that, So I
30:11
really can't speak much to that, so I will turn that to you.
30:18
Well, I can only speak from my own experience and obviously, um,
30:22
um, yeah, so I think this is part of part of where what
30:30
happens with the brain it sort of goes off and then it doesn't forget right.
30:37
Um. But but yeah, so I I totally hear you. I
30:41
love I love that you brought up you know, that chatty brain thing and
30:44
so on, because I think, Um, for me anyway, I recognize
30:48
once I went into the longer meditations that coming into equilibrium and total acceptance and
30:59
even a level of humor around noticing the chatty mind and going oh, there
31:06
it is again, and oh that's an interesting thought before we're going to put
31:08
that down, and just really having coming into a form of compassion around it
31:14
is very helpful because the ideas, as I understand it and as I'm trying
31:21
to practice it as well, is to not to not actually have an agenda
31:29
you know, it's actually to not even you know, go for the star
31:33
or whatever. It's it's to actually totally let go of any agenda whatsoever,
31:38
to be in complete equanimity, if you will, free of aversion and attachment.
31:42
And so it's a great way to practice letting go of attachment. So
31:48
that's letting go of our reason for doing it that we know that motivates us
31:52
to to do it, or wanting to get something specific out of it,
31:55
or oh my god, I hope this is working. Well what exactly does
31:57
working mean? You know? And look like? And what is it that
32:00
I'm hoping to you know? And so on? So um, you know.
32:04
So so that's another stage I guess of it as well. And um.
32:08
And then as we kind of you know, learn to let that go
32:12
um for me, Um, then you know, all sorts of things happen.
32:17
I noticed that it really as I started to sit for longer and longer,
32:22
um in that in that place of silence, I noticed that everything started
32:29
happening in my world around me. I mean, you know, it's it's
32:32
how I started this, this work that you and I have been doing,
32:36
you know, Jennifer and so on, and yeah, everything just sort of
32:40
Yeah, it's just it's like, you know, you just along for the
32:43
ride. You just sort of jump in the river and got yeah, I'm
32:45
just gonna float. It's great, you know, and the river just kind
32:50
of goes, you know, and you go, oh, that's really interesting.
32:52
Wow, I never knew this existed. Blah blah blah. It's great.
32:55
So you know, and of course there are child challenges and so on.
32:58
But as I say, I have an unfair advantage because I've set my
33:01
life up for this. So you know, that was purposeful. It was
33:07
absolutely purposeful. Yeah, yeah, I love it. Awesome. Well,
33:08
we're gonna do the commercial real quick the rock My Finances Club, which is

35:19
all you we know it? Hey, I do. I am a trucker
35:29
from way back, man, it is my favorite word. I love it.
35:32
Okay, So now we're going to dive into basically summing all the meditation
35:38
up. It can look however you want it to look, just to get
35:40
present and now doesn't doesn't matter. However, however, it works to make
35:44
you feel good as great. So how um like stepping into the word healing.
35:52
We've all heard that, you know, prayers heal. We've we've heard
35:58
that there's shamanistic type of people that can you can go to and get healed
36:05
and that kind of thing in church and religion and you know they're healers and
36:08
stuff like that. So we've heard the word healing, and I just want
36:15
to talk about it more because now that we had the show, which go
36:20
listen to one of our other shows, which is North Marie Z on the
36:24
Chakras and I'm new to this learning the chakras, but lighting up my heart
36:30
chakra which is gold, which is amazing per Marie, and peeling, I
36:36
can actually feel that gold moving around and having a healing energy around my body
36:44
and around what's going on with me. That's how as much as I can
36:49
explain around the healing situation, Karen, any experiences with healing with that word
36:57
or even what does that even mean to you? Well, healing it's it's
37:01
it's it's like you know it. It goes back to the mind, body,
37:05
spirit, right, it's you can heal your mind, you can heal
37:07
your body, you can heal your spirit, right, and we are all
37:10
of those things, and so healing you know, Um, it's it's it's
37:16
when things are out of alignment. For me, and this is for how
37:20
I interpret it is it's when things are out of alignment, right when and
37:24
when when something is off. So when something's off in my body, you
37:29
know, my back will hurt, my fetal hurt, my knees will hurt,
37:31
right, and so something is off and and so you know, I'm
37:37
I am that My choice is to do everything holistically and naturally without you know,
37:43
from suitables, without medications or anything like that and trusting that there is
37:47
a way to do so. UM. Thank God for petal and too because
37:51
she helps with that. Um. And but you know, so if it's
37:57
something physical, it's like, okay, what like, what is it the
38:00
source? What is it the core of that issue? Because it's it's the
38:05
issues are symptomatic of the core. Right. And so if it's something you
38:09
know, spiritual, and I'm just feeling like I'm not in alignment with who
38:14
I am and what I'm doing, and it could be something as simple as
38:20
um, I'm trying to try to think of an example, you know,
38:25
if I'm not feeling you know, if I'm not speaking my truth as an
38:29
example, right, it feels icky in my body, like I just it
38:34
doesn't feel right. I'm not being in alignment with who I am and with
38:38
my spirit right, And I can I can I notice that so that there's
38:43
something there? Why am I doing that? What needs to be healed for
38:47
me in order for me to feel that I can can speak my truth?
38:52
I can say, what's there for me? Um? Same thing in my
38:54
body? What is it that's off out of alignment that needs to be Is
39:00
it nutrition? Is it something physical. Am I doing something? Am I
39:04
moving improperly? Um? Am? I overcompensating in certain areas and that can
39:08
also leave it lead into you know, other things. Right. So Um,
39:13
for me, it's it's starts with alignment and what's what's what's off?
39:17
And then what do I need to do in order to bring me myself,
39:23
my mind, body, spirit back into alignment. I love that. I
39:28
love that peole and talk to me about healings, my dear. So.
39:32
Um, the way that I look at it is, um, is,
39:39
healing is something that happens constantly, you know it just like the cells,
39:45
you know, old cells and so on, they die off and they're destroyed
39:47
and the body takes care of them. Healing is constantly happening, right,
39:52
So it's almost something that we don't have to do, Okay, Um,
39:57
It's it's a For me, it's about developing or cultivating a congruency in all
40:02
the aspects of my life so that healing can happen. And I'm saying this
40:07
specifically because it's I mean I So one of the ways that I'm I'm definitely
40:15
into right now is doing is fasting, whether it's intermittent fasting or fasting for
40:21
you know, several days or whatever it is. And I'm doing that very
40:23
consistently, and because you know, there's so much congruency now between my heart's
40:31
desire and what I'm doing in the world in healing, that I have no
40:38
issues anymore in terms of sticking to my fasting plan and so on. Because
40:44
one of the things that for me, fasting does is, you know,
40:46
and for most people, is it allows the body to heal. It allows
40:50
the body to heal itself in a very natural way. So that's why I
40:53
for me, healing is about allowing cultivating congruency between the different parts of our
41:00
lives so that they can work together in a sort of a symbiotic way,
41:06
so that we're not efforting particularly to heal because the very, the very a
41:13
notion that we need to do certain things so that the body can rest and
41:16
heal again. There's an incongruency to that, you know, But it's in
41:20
our it's in our Western thinking. You know. It's like, it's like,
41:22
what is it to do do to have to be? And I always
41:29
flip that, I've been flipping that for years. It's like, you know,
41:31
be, who are you? What is it that you are? What
41:36
is it that you already have that is congruent with what you are? And
41:39
when you decide what you already have, how can that already see what it
41:45
is that you want to do. Otherwise, if you're doing you're just sort
41:47
of doing all sorts of things hoping that you could, you know, help
41:51
you to have what you need so that you can be who you want to
41:53
be. You know, when we're already are you know? So? So
41:58
I look at healing as a very sort of an organic kind of a being
42:02
home. It's a sort of it's a homing device to home. It's sort
42:06
of a homing thing right when we're there. It allows healing to happen on
42:09
multiple levels, multiple ways. So I'm truly sing that right now. Yeah,
42:15
I love that, And I love how you're both kind of saying the
42:17
same thing with balance for Karen and congruency with people. And I love that.
42:22
And I use the word alignment when I know that I'm on my path,
42:27
and like you say to do to get on your path, I think
42:30
we've all said it here. It's not about to do. It's just like
42:34
I know, I'm feeling it when I'm not like I'm when I'm straying away
42:37
from my path, whatever my path is, and sometimes I don't even know
42:40
what it is, but I know that I'm not there, and it feels
42:45
yucky to not be on my path, and it's like, oh, let's
42:47
get let's get back, let's get back to our path, whatever that might
42:51
be. And then like I'm kind of just flowing the river with you as
42:53
well. But when I'm totally aligned and I make a decision on something like
42:57
moving from the Bay Area to stand, it's selling everything. Moving like that
43:00
was ridiculous. I lovely moved within three weeks because it was completely aligned.
43:04
I knew that was it. I knew that was what I was going to
43:07
do. And it makes decisions so much easier when you're balanced or congruent or
43:12
aligned. Right, we're all saying the same thing, but when we are
43:15
all set up to be who we are, it could be a purpose,
43:22
that could be a mission. It could just be feeling wonderful in our body.
43:25
And when we're when we're doing that eating right to for our body like
43:30
people and is doing fasting now, I've been on a nutrition thing since I
43:35
broke my face and lost my teeth a year and a half ago. So
43:37
I've been doing that with doctor Tracy and healing my body from the that side
43:45
of things. But our mind, like you said, Karen, mind,
43:46
body, soul, our mind is so much part of that, which is
43:50
why I love to get people's mindset straight around their money, because it's not
43:53
about the zeros like I've had. Like I just had a forty five dollar
44:00
month and the next week it was like, I'm not aligned. So it's
44:05
not about the money. It has nothing to do with money. It's literally
44:08
about our mind, body, spirit, control and congruency and all of that.
44:13
That's awesome, Well it's not. It's it's not here's here's the caveat
44:16
there that I want to mention and we all know this, but it's worth
44:20
mentioning. It's not about perfection. So one of the reasons that I personally,
44:25
uh use the word congruency it personally speaks to me um because uh,
44:31
to say the balance and alignment suggests to my you know, rat brain,
44:38
is that if it's not there, I've failed in some way. Right,
44:43
So for me to to cultivate congruency, it's always a process. It's never
44:47
a there, do you know what I mean. So, so it's it's
44:51
a little bit more forgiving, and it's for me, it's more encouraging to
44:54
keep to keep moving in that direction, recognizing that it's it's it's it's a
45:00
process of up and down and up and down and up and down, right,
45:02
and and so there's never there there, it's never going to be a
45:07
straight line. Well, I'm aligned, and i'm you know, I'm you
45:09
know all of that, right, it doesn't allow better, it doesn't allow
45:14
for the wisdom that comes with the dips. Right, And because you know,
45:19
our body is constantly changing. Are our hopes and dreams are constantly changing.
45:22
We're organic, right, and we're constantly growing and developing. So um,
45:27
so you know, who I was yesterday is not the same as who
45:30
I am today. So it's really about being you know, here in the
45:36
moment, dropping in, as we said, dropping in. I love that,
45:38
that's very true because then like that is where we get our wisdom,
45:43
is the dips, and to always try to not have that like being aligned
45:47
or not aligned. Then it's a wrong or right, yes or no,
45:51
on or off, and the offs are some of the best, some of
45:58
the best teachings and experiences whatever whatever you want to call it. That's very
46:04
true. Absolutely the best. That's where we get everything, right, Yeah,
46:07
yeah, I love that. That's where the opportunity lies grow. Yeah,
46:13
opportunity for growth, Yes, absolutely absolutely, So there's a good segue
46:20
into growth. So let's talk about that. Do you people in our life,
46:32
how does it work with not just meditating but actually growth, personal growth?
46:40
All of this is all about personal growth, right, It's all about
46:44
your life path, whatever you're doing, whatever you choose, your lifestyle and
46:46
everything. So when you have people come into your life that does not maybe
46:52
understand what you're doing or haven't experienced it, maybe be a little bit afraid
47:00
of it, or just sucking onto you to get all of your amazing good
47:05
energy and not giving anything back, right, it could be bull What do
47:08
you do do you experience that? First of all, Karen, we have
47:12
what do we have? We only have a few minutes left, But give
47:15
me a tip on because we all experience that, So just give me a
47:17
tip on what do you do with that kind of kind of experience? Um?
47:22
I call those energy vampires, okay, And they do suck the life
47:27
out of you if you let them. And it's it's it's like I feel
47:30
it like I just know that that's what's going on. It's like it's it's
47:35
as simple for me as how do I feel when I'm with this person?
47:38
Do I feel energized or do I feel depleted? And if I feel depleted,
47:44
then I know what I can feel what's going on, and I have
47:47
that's a boundary that I have to create. It's like, okay, I
47:50
have to go. I don't let people like that in my life. Typically
47:52
it's you know, at least I try not to. Sometimes, you know,
47:55
they sneak in, but I try not to let that in because I,
48:01
you know, I want to continue to grow my energy and expand my
48:06
energy, and I can't do that if someone's sucking it away. So it's
48:08
part of my self care and self love practice to not allow that into my
48:13
life and really only surround myself with people like yourselves that are you know that
48:17
I have that expand my energy. Because when like when we were all together,
48:22
I mean I felt like invincible. It's so amazing spending time with you
48:27
ladies, because it was just it's like I was, I felt filled,
48:30
right, It's just a very it was awesome our soul sisters sleepover. That's
48:35
awesome. Just feeling what do you do about coming across that kind of person.
48:40
So I think it's really important to to do what Karen's talking about,
48:45
UM, especially as a way of really discerning um where the quality of different
48:52
energies in our lives, our own energy, and also to become really firm
48:58
in our and the level we want to play at in our baseline of joy
49:02
and energy and so on. For me, now, I realize that if
49:09
I I will need to caveat this, if I disallow certain things that occur
49:16
in my life, meaning even people that come across and so on, I'm
49:22
actually shutting something down in myself. So the way that I approach it now
49:28
is that UM, I observe, I kind of hold the position of an
49:32
observer and and and in observing with my heart, UM, I'm not taking
49:38
in anything that they're putting out, and I'm not allowing necessarily anything to be
49:44
taken from me because I'm aware of them. I'm aware of where they are
49:49
in themselves, and I don't own any of it. It does it,
49:52
it's not. It's their journey, and I'm appreciating their journey. You know.
49:58
They have full ownership of you know, and I have to respect them
50:01
because I think that I think that social energy vampires aren't necessarily like certain people.
50:08
They're all of us at times in our lives, you know, depending
50:13
to hold a certain you know, there are some that you know could be
50:15
professional ones, I guess, but but youre talking about it. Yes,
50:22
but in a sense they are still us, you know, and so to
50:25
hold that compassion um. So that's kind of what I'm trying to practice us
50:30
more awesome. We're gonna sum up today with that beautiful word compassion. I
50:35
love that. Thank you ladies so much for coming on Soul Sister Siries.
