Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Some people think, oh, meditation's meant to take me into bliss.
- 0:03SPEAKER_00: Well, yes, but also the proper deep meditation is awareness in the body, accepting the present moment as it is, and giving space for the old patterns to come up to the surface and dissolve.
- 0:18SPEAKER_00: If it gets too painful and feels too much, then of course be tender, loving, kind with yourself.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: Stretch, move, breathe, give yourself a break, maybe come back to it later on.
- 0:31SPEAKER_00: Because we haven't come here just to suffer.
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: We have come here to remember.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: Remember the light that we are and live from that remembrance.
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: You do not have to do this alone.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: Namaste, beautiful souls.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: This is you and me on awakening, and awakening this beautiful podcast is everywhere.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: So you could be watching on YouTube or listening through Apple Podcasts or on Spotify or on Audible and all the different places.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: You're here in presence, and what we're doing is I'm going to answer a very deep question, and we're gonna go deep into it.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: This one's about the physical body, physical health, feeling pain in the body.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: So, Natasha, thank you for asking this deep question because this is going to help thousands of people.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Here's the question.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Natalie.
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: I never watch the scary supernatural movies, but I do think that they should regulate those types of things because they don't help.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: Well, yes, that's very true.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: You see, what we watch and where we consume, where we absorb energy, kind of um moves around our mental, emotional field.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: If we are strongly emotionally triggered by it, it'll be stronger in our energetic field.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: So have discernment about what it is you allow yourself to watch and consume.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: Even be aware of your own mind.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: You see, sometimes your own mind is gonna say things like, um, oh, it's it could say, it could say fearful things to you, like, um, what if tomorrow um the sun doesn't come up or we have a big solar flare?
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: Do you consume that information that's from fear of the mind?
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: Or do you breathe in and out of your body and let that one go?
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: Don't believe in it.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: So that's also important to have discernment with your own mind and know that you have the power to regulate what you allow in and what you stop allowing in.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: Then here goes your question.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: Would you be able to do a segment on how to process somatic pain?
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: It is easy to watch and let go of the thoughts, but very hard when it's regular somatic pain.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: Can you explain how to sit and clear this?
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: The guides are bringing in many things right now.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: First, I'm hearing the key is acceptance, meaning no longer seeing the pain as a problem that needs to be fixed.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: Because if you see it as a problem that needs to be fixed, it will continue to be that.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: That which you believe, that which you send energy towards, continues and grows.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: So this is a very important key to recognize okay, the intelligence of my soul in my body is communicating through pain and discomfort.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: I am going to accept and listen to my body instead of trying to run away from it or try to fix it.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to keep seeing it as a problem.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: I'm going to see it as a communication.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: So shifting from seeing it as this is a problem to ah, this is a communication of the divine intelligence piercing through my body, saying, Hey, bring awareness here.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: We need some attention.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: That's exactly what's happening here.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: So, do you know that when you have pain in the body, its absolute polarity is pleasure?
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: When you bring awareness into the body, into the area where the pain is, and you bring all concentrated focus and awareness to that area, and you become deeply present.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: And the thinking mind stops thinking and it starts being.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: It means you are no longer sending energy away from your body to thoughts, but you are actually bringing all the light of your consciousness into your body, into this area where the pain is.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: You bring all focus and awareness.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: For example, it could be the right shoulder that's in excruciating pain.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: So, first of all, you're not running away from it, you're not judging it, you accept, huh?
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: My soul is communicating through my body, I can feel it.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: I'm bringing all conscious awareness to this area, and I'm gonna breathe in and out and be present.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: So then you bring all awareness to this area and you breathe and you be and you keep bringing awareness here.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: The mind might start to think, it might start to go a different direction.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: You you catch it, you recognize oh, mind is thinking, and you bring it back.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: Mind come back into the shoulder.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: We've got deep awareness in the shoulder, we've got deep communication happening.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: This communication, the deepest pain, is lifetimes of patterns and beliefs that are held in the physical body, that are held in the cells of the body.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: This is an incredible opportunity for you to dissolve the deepest patterns, the deepest fears, the deepest pains that you've carried from this lifetime and previous lifetimes.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: So you bring all awareness and you just breathe.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: Stay as long as you can.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: Sometimes the pain might get stronger.
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: This happens because you are bringing such awareness here that it's going, oh finally, she is fully present and listening.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: I can bring the pain that I've been carrying for lifetimes up to the surface, and I can bring it all up and out.
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: So sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it can dissolve quickly.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: Sometimes you you just by bringing presence to that area and breathing in and out, it it starts to come up and it feels like as if a big tree with all its roots have been stuck here, and it's it's like the universe is pulling that tree and the roots out, and you get the root of the issue out.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's a lifetime where you were killed and someone stabbed you here in the shoulder, and it was so painful, and you got you, you were, and it was deceit, and someone was deceptive, and they they they made you believe them, and then they they killed you, and so that's entangled, that's deep, deep trauma that your soul experienced.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: And so you, by being the infinite consciousness, the light of the universe, fully present in the body, you are so powerful, you have so much light, you are dissolving the deepest root, and it comes out.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: Now, it might be that you do that for 10 minutes, it might be that you sit with it for half an hour.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: If it gets too painful and feels too much, then of course be tender, loving, kind with yourself.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: Stretch, move, breathe, give yourself a break, maybe come back to it later on.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: And you see, sometimes you can heal the root and pull it out immediately, and sometimes it takes a few sessions, multiple sessions, where you bring all conscious awareness into that area of the body and just be there and breathe there.
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: And all of those patterns start to come up to the surface and dissolve out and clear out of your energy field.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: It's powerful.
- 9:14SPEAKER_00: You're not just healing and clearing out this lifetime.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: This is lifetimes.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: The deepest pain in our body is a sign of lifetimes of stuck energy.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: So you have an opportunity that in this lifetime you get to clear it once and for all, so that your next lifetime is gonna be no karma, just a clean, clear slate coming in to explore, play, and enjoy.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: And you can already start to experience that joy in this lifetime because you are brave, because you go to the areas that are holding on to ancient old patterns and you witness and you hold space and they start to dissolve.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: Now, if you are in a lot of pain, then just do it in little bursts, little moments, like five minutes.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna give all awareness of the light of my soul and be very present in my body and be there.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: And what you start to notice is your thoughts will be entangled.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: So you'll you'll you might start to have flickers of past lives coming through.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: You might start to have thoughts, like you might have dark thoughts come up to the surface.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: Just remain aware of your thoughts, of the sensations in the body, everything.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: Just remain aware and remember that you are ready for this.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: The body doesn't communicate unless you're ready.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: So you are clearly ready to dissolve some of the deepest patterns that you've been carrying.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: This is incredible.
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: It means that you are you're ready to dissolve so many patterns so that you can hold more of the light of consciousness of God of source in your physical body in this lifetime.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: You're a brave soul, very brave.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: I find that any souls that have a lot of physical pain, it's it always shows that you're a brave soul.
- 11:15SPEAKER_00: It means that you've actually chosen to clear multiple lifetimes in this lifetime, and you're doing it through the body.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: You see, some people will do it through the mind, some people will do it through meditation of just awareness, some people will do it through um emotional cleansing and clearing, and you are doing it through deep presence in the physical, and that is sometimes the hardest because feeling pain, it's oh you you just want to move.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: So, my advice is to get as comfortable as you possibly can, like lying down or seated, and put pillows and uh under certain areas to give you good support, and then be brave and strong and bring all the light of consciousness into that area, and you will do deep, deep work.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: And now, what happens when you cleanse the root out?
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: Stay aware over the next days.
- 12:15SPEAKER_00: That area might have little pings, um, and and it's residue, and it's it's um be aware of your thoughts, it's residue, it's it's um less you've taken the root out, but it's the pattern's been with you for so long, so it's easy for the mind and the body to go down that old neural pathway, that old pattern.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: And and if you remain aware, you're able to catch it and not feed the light of awareness, of consciousness to it.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: You catch the thought going, I don't trust anyone, someone's gonna hurt me.
- 12:49SPEAKER_00: That's definitely connected to that ancient wound of the past life.
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: You you see your mind doing that and you breathe in and you breathe out.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: Ah, that's residue from that root that I've cleared.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: I no longer believe that.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: I dissolved that and set that free.
- 13:05SPEAKER_00: And over the next few days, you will completely dissolve it, and then you'll notice, wow, that pain's gone.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: I'm no longer having thoughts of fear in that way.
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: I've completely healed and dissolved it in the most powerful way.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: And then what happens is you go from the energy of pain to its polarity and you start to feel immense pleasure, goosebumps, tingles, expansion, heat, bliss.
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: The important thing here is not to attach, just accept the present moment as it is.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: If you attach to pleasure, it takes you to the high, and you attached, you attached.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: That means you will suffer alone.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: So it's best to accept and enjoy each moment, even if you can enjoy the pain at the deepest level of pain that it is actually pleasure.
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: That is the truth of it.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: Now, if it is incredibly painful and absolutely awful, and you just can't do it, go and get support, go and get help.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: A therapist, a healer, um, acupuncture, somatic work, work with the physical body, go and get support for someone to help you.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: You know what?
- 14:17SPEAKER_00: I even say Western medicine has its place in this world, otherwise, it wouldn't be created.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: God's source has created everything that's here.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: So I say follow your heart, follow your intuition, and you and ask your soul, what do I need?
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: Who can support me and go and find the right people for you?
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: You do not have to do this alone.
- 14:43SPEAKER_00: I've given you the greatest tool and way to work with it.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: And you can try do it alone because many of you will be able to do this alone, and you will you're bound to have success.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: Each one of you is a master, each one of you, the coding is inside of you.
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: You already know how to come back to wholeness because wholeness exists in the eternal now.
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: Wholeness is already here.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: Your perfect blueprint is in the present moment, it's already here in the present moment.
- 15:14SPEAKER_00: You don't have to go seeking in different directions, it's here.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: But the thinking mind can be very strong and it can keep you away from the present moment.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: So you have to be determined and strong to keep bringing the thinking mind back into the body and be there.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: Bring all focus and energy.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: It's incredible what happens.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: When you're no longer draining energy out to the thoughts, you have so much energy in your body and you start to feel so alive: goosebumps, tingles, vibrations, energy.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: Because you're not sending energy into other directions.
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: It's here in your body, and that's where your body comes back to wholeness because you stop the wheel of karma.
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: When you stop thinking, you actually, if you have five moments of non-thought, in those five moments of non-thought, you've stopped the wheel of karma, you've actually stopped cause and effect, you've stopped creating.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: And often the first thing that happens when you stop creating is anything that's been held inside of you will then come up to the surface because it's going, oh, finally.
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: She stopped adding more and more.
- 16:28SPEAKER_00: There's space.
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: I now can come up to the surface.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: Me, the old patterns that have been existing inside this person.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: We can come up to the surface.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: So I can tell you from my own personal experience through Vipassana, 10-day silence retreats, that um, and and you've just focused, you are meditating, you do not communicate with the outside world, you are only with your own mind and body.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: You and I've sat in absolute pain and I've breathed into it, and I've shifted the deepest patterns because for the first three days you focus on the top upper lip, bringing awareness here, which tunes the thinking mind into being able to be present.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: And after that, for the next seven days, you are doing a sweeping, bringing awareness from the top of the head all the way down to the feet and back up, focusing on every part of the body with equanimity and awareness, meaning when there's parts of the body that have pain, you still sweep it with equanimity, not going, oh, this is painful.
- 17:27SPEAKER_00: You just bring awareness to that area, and then you move to the next area, to the next area, even areas of the body where you've got pleasure, you don't attach to it, you just equanimity bring and you keep moving.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: And so, what I found is that with such dense and incredible focus, I was able to um harness the tame horse of the thinking mind, and it would stop thinking and it would be so present in the body, and it was so present in the body, and I would have so much pain.
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: And that pain was lifetimes of stuff coming up to the surface, and I'd I'd be able to hold equanimity and bring awareness, and it would come up to the surface and it would clear.
- 18:09SPEAKER_00: But it would take a few sessions and then and then I'd come back to meditating, and then next time I bring awareness there, I'm like, oh, it's a bit lighter, it's incredible.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: And then by the end of the 10 days of dedicated 10 and a half hours of sitting meditation a day, I I was in flow.
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: All those patterns and knots of stuck energy in my body because I'd brought awareness to every part of my body.
- 18:33SPEAKER_00: I dissolved the deepest patterns because I was not creating karma anymore, I was just present.
- 18:38SPEAKER_00: So the deepest patterns came up to the surface and it was painful, it was so painful.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: But it released and it cleared, and then it felt incredible.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: I could feel and sense and experience everything as light.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: But I didn't attach to it, I just knew that this is the truth when we're no longer riddled with the past lives and the energies that are stuck in the system when we clear it, and it's it's such powerful deep work.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: So the tool is this meditation means awareness and equanimity.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: Some people think, oh, meditation's meant to take me into bliss.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: Well, yes, but also the proper deep meditation is awareness in the body, accepting the present moment as it is, and giving space for the old patterns to come up to the surface and dissolve.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: Because on the deepest level of the body, that is where we experience the sensations.
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: And the mind, the deepest part of the mind, when it experiences sensations in the body, it either attaches to the good ones or repels the negative ones.
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: But the key is to remain aware and balance and not attach and not repel, but just go with it.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: So you bring awareness, you start at the top of your head.
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: You bring all awareness and the thinking mind to the top of your head.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: Spend a few moments here and notice any sensation.
- 20:08SPEAKER_00: Sensation could be heat, cold, tingling, vibration, pressure, pain, pulsing, anything, any sensation.
- 20:15SPEAKER_00: You notice senses, that sensation, then you move to the whole of the face, notice the sensation, move to the back of the head, back to the back of the neck, front of the neck, just moving down.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Shoulders, maybe you want to do one shoulder and then the other shoulder, front of the chest, back of the back.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Keep moving down one arm all the way to the hand, then bring awareness, the other arm all the way to the hand, into the solar plexus, the front, the back, deep inside the body.
- 20:49SPEAKER_00: Bring awareness to the belly, the lower back, into the pelvis, the hips, down the legs, the knees, the shins, the calves, the ankles, the feet.
- 21:01SPEAKER_00: Now you've done the whole body.
- 21:03SPEAKER_00: You've brought awareness to every part of the body.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: And whether you felt pain or pleasure, you've remained equanimous, balanced, not attaching, not repelling, just aware, full awareness, which is the light of consciousness which dissolves the patterns.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: And then you do it going up again.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: One sweep could take 10 minutes, it could take half an hour.
- 21:24SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be different depending on how long it takes for you to feel a sensation.
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: When you feel a sensation in the area, then you move to the next area.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: Sometimes there's gonna be areas that feel so good, some areas might be blank, you feel nothing, you have to spend a lot of time there, the mind gets agitated and irritated.
- 21:45SPEAKER_00: That's all part of it.
- 21:47SPEAKER_00: Remain aware, no thinking, mind.
- 21:50SPEAKER_00: You come here, and we be here.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: We be here.
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's powerful, so use.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: This practice of meditating into your body.
- 22:04SPEAKER_00: Bring all the light of consciousness into your body.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: A side effect of meditation in this way is that the physical body can heal.
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: That's a side effect.
- 22:18SPEAKER_00: Don't try attach.
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: Don't let the mind go.
- 22:20SPEAKER_00: I need to heal or put expectations on you.
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: No, no thinking mind.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Be strong with your thinking mind.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: No expectations.
- 22:29SPEAKER_00: We are just bringing all the light of awareness into the body and accepting the present moment as it is.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: That's where the power is.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: And as you bring all awareness into the body, the most powerful transformations happen.
- 22:44SPEAKER_00: You dissolve the deepest patterns that cause physical pain.
- 22:49SPEAKER_00: They are mental emotional blocks that are entangled in your system.
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: That is what pain and that is what anything that you feel discomfort or pain in the physical body is mental emotional patterns.
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: It begins in the mind and it ends in the mind.
- 23:04SPEAKER_00: It begins as energy first, and when it's repeated over and over again, if you keep saying to yourself and believing that you are unworthy, that's a pattern that then becomes materialized, and then you start to have heart palpitations or pain in the body.
- 23:20SPEAKER_00: So you dissolve it from the deepest level by bringing awareness into the body, and all that light starts to dissolve those patterns, those patterns clear and release.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: And as they release, more energy and light starts to move through the body.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: And the beautiful side effect is that the physical body holds more light and less pain, less suffering, and it can completely heal and clear.
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: This is deep work, deep work.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: So remember that you can do this.
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: The master in you knows this, knows how to do this.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: And if you don't want to do it alone, go and get support.
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: There are so many beautiful support systems in this world.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: And I feel the angels with you.
- 24:13SPEAKER_00: As you do this deep, incredible cleansing, know that you're bound to have releases and expansion and feel more light.
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: And know that the angels are with you, holding your hand and supporting you every step of the way.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: So, right now, I channel Reiki, the highest frequency, universal light, in through your crown and down through your whole body, filling every single cell in your body with light.

- 24:53SPEAKER_00: You might feel releases, cleansing, clearing.
- 24:57SPEAKER_00: Breathe it in, absorb it into every cell, and breathe out and release everything that no longer matches your higher frequency self.
- 25:12SPEAKER_00: Another deep breath in and out.
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: Breathe it out.
