  SPEAKER_00: Hello, Soul to Earth fam.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: How are you, everybody?
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: So a little bit of an update, a hello, uh, welcome to the summer.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: And what's happening?
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: So I just wanted to say hello to all of you, first of all.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: So excited you're here listening.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: And to let you know, I have uh taken a little pause.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: There's many reasons for that, but the primary reason is that I am putting the finishing touches on my intuitive way course.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: I am so excited about this.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: So many of you have been listening for a while know, of course, just welcome if this is the first time you're here.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm Carrie Coss, I'm a psychic and spiritual teacher, and I help women to discover and access their intuitive and psychic abilities, and you can use that for personal healing journey, deepening your relationship with source, but also if you want to use it in your healing business of any type of business.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: So welcome here.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: If you're new, I'm so happy to have you.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: And just to let you know that I have been putting, you know, the final parts together of my intuitive way course and just a little bit of history about the intuitive way course.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: I have always run it with students live.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: So all of the lessons have been taught live, week to week.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: And it's usually been a 12-week course, which has been amazing, so amazing.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I've learned so much about um, you know, first of all, connecting with all of you as students, learning about the most positive and encouraging and supportive ways to help you get to where you want to be with your intuition and connecting with source and spirit and developing your spiritual gifts.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so spirit was really leading me into um making this model into something that's not just a 12-week course, but something that anybody could purchase at any time of the year and go at their own pace.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: And so I love that idea because I really feel like, you know, the spiritual path is not this westernized uh version of like you become psychic in 12 weeks.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: That just did not resonate with me at all.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And so I changed the model and decided to um create an online digital course and then a private podcast uh just for the course in general so everybody could go at their own pace.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: However, the caveat being that in order to really build, strengthen, and fortify your intuitive and psychic abilities and also be able to connect with source and create this impenetrable relationship with spirit, you need to be in community.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: You need to connect, you need to get encouragement and you need to practice consistently.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: I almost liken it to being a part of a group, like almost like a church group, but without the religion.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Because one thing I learned growing up going to the same church for most of my young life in Berkeley, California, which was actually an incredible sort of social gathering and a consistent gathering, was that I always knew church was there and I always had my community, and I knew that I could get support at any time depending on what was going on in my life.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: And it wasn't something that ended in 12 weeks.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: And so for me, knowing that I want to build a community of, you know, women who want to open up to their abilities, but also a community of, you know, women growing spiritually and healing together and sharing the journey together and supporting one another.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I changed the model.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: I just did exactly that.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: I changed the model entirely, and so now it's really open to purchase at any time, but we're going to be practicing twice a month together live.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: And so that means that you'll be able to connect with other students.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: You'll be able to, even if at first you're feeling a little shy and you don't want to necessarily practice, you can just take in the energy for a while, and then when you're ready to jump in, I'll probably encourage you, um, you can start.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: And then also you can build community.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: So if you want to break out and build like small practice groups together or circles, you can do that.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So that's really what I've been working on.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the reasons why I've taken a little bit of a pause on doing the podcasts.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so now I'm back and I'm so excited.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so if you want more information about it, just go ahead and uh check out the link in the bio and you can check out the class and see if it's something that you feel compelled to do or want to ask me questions.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And I would love to give you more information.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: So let me tell you about today's podcast.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so excited.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I was meditating, actually, this isn't just from meditating this morning.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: This has been coming to me the last week, just in my day-to-day life, coming through to from spirit.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: And that is that I want to really connect with all of you and um do a little four-part series.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think it'll be a four-part series on grounding yourself as an intuitive and starting to develop and enhancing those psychic gifts.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm going to be doing that today, and I'm so excited.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll let you know where we're gonna start and where when we're gonna where we're gonna end up.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll be doing a at the end of the um podcast, I'll be doing a little journey with all of you so you can practice at home.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's very exciting.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: So without further ado, what we're gonna be covering in the four different podcast episodes for you to begin to really connect in with source, fortify your energy field, and begin to activate those psychic and spiritual gifts.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: The first thing we're gonna do is we're really gonna talk about in this first episode, recognizing yourself as a spirit in a body, beginning to relate to yourself as a spirit in a body, and not just a brain and not just limited by your physical skin, bone, tissues, blood, and the house you live in and the relationships you're in, but expanding that beyond your own physicality and into the role that you've taken on in your life and to be able to stretch it out just a little bit and begin to see things from more of an energetic perspective and beyond this physical, denser reality.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what we're gonna be doing the first week.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: The second episode, rather, is to basically identify your primary psychic abilities.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I have a really cool exercise I'm gonna walk through with you on that.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: And we're mainly gonna be looking at the primary kind of like four or five Claire abilities or psychic abilities that most people identify with.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: But the thing is, really, there's a lot of other psychic abilities that um are available to us, and um, so we never want to limit or pigeonhole what they are, but for just all intents and person purposes, we're going to be sticking with just the primary four.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now in episode three, we're going to be making a connection with your higher self, your higher self.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: And so this is just really being able to establish that incredible spiritual connection with our true identity, which is our higher self, our spirit, and being able to use with a simple tool of that resource and that wisdom and that healing that comes from connecting in with your higher self.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: See, a lot of people right away have you going towards your spirit guides.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: And listen, in my course, you're going to be connecting in with spirit guides.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: You're going to have a reading guide, you're going to learn about your soul family.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to, you know, we're going to definitely talk about that.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: But my first and most important relationship to build is with your higher self because this is you.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in reality, I do believe that your guides are really other versions of you.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I know this is getting to be more of a familiar topic discussed in the new thought community.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm I'm definitely no different.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I do believe that that your all of your, even all your guides, all of your galactic family, your angels, your archangels, the elemental realm, those are often found in they're part of your own soul over soul and soul family and iterations of yourself, but that gets really heady and complicated at first.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: So we're going to keep it really simple and we're going to start with a higher self.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: So the next thing we're going to really talk about, which is so important, is fortifying your energy field and keeping your space at a high vibration.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a lot of people talk about protecting your energy, protecting your space, protecting your chakras, not having cords placed in you.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so I learned from one of my mentors some time ago that rather than look at it as though you're a in this mentality of you have to protect against something outside of you, rather realize you're part of source.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: You are source.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: You are a badass spiritual babe and you don't need any protection.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: What you need to do is to fortify your space and strengthen it and look at where maybe the weaknesses are in your own field and in your and how you give away your energy.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: So we're going to be focusing on that.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: The next um episode will be we're going to be focusing on the importance of really keeping a journal and in to um write down your experiences as an intuitive and a psychic and a medium and what happens for you.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Because often what happens, it just happens in silence to us, and we don't share it or put it on paper, and therefore it doesn't really become as much a part of our reality.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: We dismiss it, we make it small.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: And this is just one of those things you really want to, you're trying to fortify, strengthen, and edify and solidify and make an impenetrable bond with source.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: And the way you do that is by what?
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Putting it into a strong form within your own body DNA, soul memory to say this is part of my experience.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: You're not making it small, you're not dismissing it, you're making it strong.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: And the other thing I also like to encourage besides journaling is that I love to do voice recordings in voice memos, which everybody has on their phone, um, of the observations I'm having or the downloads I'm getting or the messages that are coming in, things like that.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: So that's like very important.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, and again, this is coming from my 30 years of experience as a trained psychic.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: What were the things that consistently made my psychic abilities like rock solid and an integrated part of my life?
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: And these are all the tools I know to use.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now, everybody has a different way of doing things, of course, to really make something real and tangible.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: I believe that.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: But these are some of the things I think are just really important and I just would encourage you to consider.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: So we have two more um uh podcasts or lessons we're gonna be reviewing.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: The next one is releasing fear and programming about opening up to your gifts.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now we all know that um at some point we have as we tune into spirit or we start activating these gifts, that we come up against more than likely fear.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: And often many people, not everybody, have a fear that if they open up these gifts, that they'll have no control over them and that the um, you know, the messages will just come in and they won't that it'll be a floodgate of information.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: They won't be able to turn it off and on.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: So that's definitely a myth and something we're gonna get over and be able to release.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: But also, people have fear of speaking up, people have fear of seeing because in your family structures, you know, um, often things were hidden and people uh unconsciously didn't want you to see what the truth was, things like that.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll be working on that.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then the last and final thing for this this is going to be seven episodes, we'll be letting go of perceptions of what your friends, society, your coworkers, and the world think about being a psychic.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Now, just to let you know, of course, because I've been doing this for so long, I considered myself for quite a time a closet psychic and and I definitely did not share my gifts freely with people, which I actually think is not such a bad thing because I wasn't doing it professionally, but I still kept my gifts strong.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: But I think um one thing to note is that we tend to not want to peep people to think that we're, you know, off our rockers, that we're, you know, too woo-woo, we're too out there, they'll think we're not professional, they'll think we're strange, they're worried about religious, you know, um, you know, it being of like the devil, whatever it might be, or people just thinking that you're out there not being or being dismissed from a social group.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: We're really gonna work on that.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna work on that fear, we're gonna work on that um unconscious kind of societal pressure, and we're gonna just melt it away and start ebbing away at chipping away at it.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: And again, this really helps when you have a supported group of people, like in a class or a community, where you can strengthen the muscle of the reality of sensing and feeling and seeing and experiencing spirit.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be blasting that wide open.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: So, all right, guys.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: So, I'm again, I'm so excited about this series.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Spirit, for bringing it in for all of us.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: And without further ado, we're gonna start with our first lesson: recognizing yourself as a spirit in a body, expanding your awareness beyond the physical, physical, and grounding.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get started.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: In a body.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you've heard that expression which says that you're a spirit in a body having a human experience, and I absolutely believe that.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: And the other thing we're going to be looking at today is expanding your awareness beyond the physical realm and grounding.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: So these are all very important parts of what I like to say are foundations of your spiritual experience or your spirituality, especially right now.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's, I think on this planet, it's really important to start identifying with yourself in your spiritual form as opposed to just limiting it, limit, limiting it to your physical and your mental.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: So I just want to talk to you guys a little bit about one of my coaching clients.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: We had this conversation recently, and one of her goals is to really discover what it is that her soul wants for her right now.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: She wants to find meaningful purpose in her life.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: And she spent many years as a mother, and now her kids are at the age they're going off to college, and she's in a whole nother time frame in her life, but she's left wondering what's next.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: And she wants something to be meaningful and purposeful.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, my approach to this is to help my clients and students begin to do activities that help to really get them connected to not only their intuitive and psychic abilities, because that is the way that you connect with source and spirit, is through those abilities, but also to begin to recognize the voice of the soul and how that works for each of us.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: The other part we're going to really talk about is grounding today, which is something that I feel often goes overlooked when we talk about spirituality.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: We get really into these, you know, extrasensory conversations and deeply metaphysical conversations about quantum physics and um all these different dimensions, etc.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: But what is so important to do and what I teach my students from day one is to work first on grounding yourself to the earth.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now, at a later time, if you're not familiar with the chakras, we'll definitely go into the chakra system and more deeply into your aura in later episodes.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: But for today, with the interest of what the goal is for this particular uh episode, is we're really looking at grounding our auras and our energy fields and connecting our physical with our spiritual.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: And so one thing you want to begin to make uh note of or become aware of is that you have this incredible energy field that is you that is surrounding your body and is also interconnected in with your physical experience, and that is known as your aura, your energy field.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: And also you have chakras, which are spiritual energy centers that float along uh close to your spine, and they each house different, I would say, experiences, abilities, and um connect us to different parts of our experiences.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: So, one thing you want to begin to think of when you think of your aura is you want to imagine, and you can just literally will it by your intention.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's how energy works, where your attention goes, the energy flows.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: You want to just imagine that your aura, your energy field is almost like a large egg that surrounds your physical body.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: And as you just begin to imagine that beautiful egg surrounding your body, you really want to pay attention to, and this is definitely a problem with, I would say, Western modern culture.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: Most of us, and this comes throughout all the readings I do on many clients, most of us carry the bulk of our energy forward or in front of us.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: And that's because we're a very alpha masculine driven society.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: So our energy is always going forward, pushing out in front of us instead of being receptive and laying back.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: So the first thing you really want to do is just be aware of that energy field, that you are an energy field that you that is a part of a connected part of who you are.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: And there's so much information there: emotional, spiritual, mental, um, cosmic.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: And um there's we can do so much healing work around it.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: But just to start, I want you just to imagine that that energy field just surrounding your your physical body, it's nice and even, especially around the back.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then I want you just to imagine that at the base of your spine, this is known as your first chakra, your survival center, there is a gorgeous grounding cord, almost like a root of a tree, beginning at your first chakra and going all the way down through the layers of the earth to the very center of the earth, or as many people refer to it as Gaia.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: And in the teachings I do in the programs I do, I refer to Gaia as Mother Gaia, as part of the divine feminine consciousness.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so that's part of when you begin to recognize you want to take yourself from just looking at things from a purely physical and circumstantial and intellectual level, and you want to expand out and be aware of your spiritual energy, you want to start with those two things.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: They're just really important parts of having a healthy uh spiritual life, but also connecting body, mind, and soul.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: So once you begin to do that and you begin to connecting, connecting with your aura and then your chakras, and then also your grounding, you want to begin to orient yourself towards what I like to say are the spiritual senses.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: And we're not going to be going into those at length today, but rather than orienting yourself towards the mental and towards um you know, phenomenon that is physical and you can prove it and see it and it's scientific, you want to start tuning into the extrasensory world, which is known as the spiritual world.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: And part of this comes into play as, especially if you go in and you really start focusing on beginning to do intuitive work where you are opening up these senses, these abilities, these attributes, and feeling sensing, knowing into different areas, people, places, and things, and start picking up on energetics that surround these different um areas or people that you're focusing on.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: So you already want to start, just begin to ask yourself when you're focusing on different parts of your life, say it's your job or your relationships or um what you want to do in your future, instead of Thinking at it, thinking of it from just purely an intellectual standpoint, you want to begin to open up and you want to begin to ask the universe to guide you through your senses and direct you, and so you can begin to say ask questions of the universe or source, questions like, How can I serve today?
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: And how can I be more in alignment with my truth today?
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: And how can I look at my life from more of a spiritual perspective?
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: So, what happens is when you start engaging in with spirit and the universe, you start activating all of those psychic abilities that are within you.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: And so what happens is your own life experience begins to expand out from purely just being physical and three-dimensional into the more subtle and sublime experiences that we all have had at one point in our lives or another, some of us more than others, but allowing us to expand our version of what reality is.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: The wonderful thing about being able to engage with this, it's not just so that you can be a freaking awesome psychic, it's so that you can really expand your version of reality.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: You can move past blocked thinking or stuck emotions or patterns that you just can't seem to shake because you are moving past this very linear viewpoint of the world and your life experience.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: So, this is what I want you to focus on until we meet again for the next episode.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to just focus again.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is what I told my client the other day.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: Focus on your grounding from your first chakra down to the center of the earth.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: Focus on your breath, breathing in and out through your nose, and then releasing any heaviness through your breath.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: Just exhale.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then you want to bring that beautiful aura symmetrically around your body.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_00: And just you can do this simply by postulating and visualizing that it's symmetrical around you.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then you want to begin to open up your senses, beginning to ask yourself, how do things feel?
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_00: How do they, what's my sense of this?
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: What do I know about the situation?
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: Am I hearing anything?
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: Am I visualizing anything?
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: And this is just starting to really run that beautiful energy through those abilities so that you can start expanding your own reality, which in turn gets you much more connected to your spiritual life in your everyday life.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: So that's it for our first episode in this series.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: I can't wait for the next one.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: Look forward to it dropping sometime in the next week.
• 25:05

• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: And right now we're in oh about the 11th of July.
