Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Spunky Spirit. I am psychic
0:33
medium, carry mugs, and this week's episode is going to be about how
0:37
to turn your wounds into your power. So how to heal because if you
0:42
follow me, and I always say this, but if you follow me a
0:45
lot, you know that I am so mental health is so important because spiritual
0:52
growth is on the inside, not on the outside. It's all in you.
0:55
And how you find your power and how you find your medicine or how
0:59
you find your self is to heal the wounds that you have. And so
1:03
this week is all about healing your wounds to create your power. And when
1:08
I say power, I don't mean like ja'far on Disney when he's like I
1:14
am so powerful. It's more like when the lights turn on it's electricity.
1:19
It's your electricity. It's your power that you're gonna find. So that's what
1:25
I mean by finding your power. Now, this is going to be sometimes,
1:32
you know, healing our wounds or finding our wounds. Sometimes we just
1:34
bury them. And if you or anything like me, I've been burying them
1:38
for years. And now that I'm getting into this work, into spiritual work
1:42
and into helping other people more and getting dealing with spirit I have to go
1:49
in and battle these wounds and battle these demons. Because when I was like
1:55
looking into paranormal and stuff last year, they all the paranormal investigators would always
2:00
say, if you have demons or you have stuff that you need to deal
2:06
with, you better deal with it if you're going to go into the paranormal
2:08
because they can use that against you. Which I was like, that makes
2:13
so much sense because I tell people all the time when they're battling or they
2:19
need to deal with their spiritual stuff, it's all inside. It's all healing,
2:23
and you need to do your shadow work and heal before you can move
2:28
up a frequency or move up a level. And a lot of people think,
2:31
well, I'm all done healing, I'm all that's not true. We
2:35
have healing all the time. We're never fully healed. We're always working on
2:42
something. We're always having something that we need to work on or something that
2:46
anyways, so this is going to help you take those wounds and turn them
2:51
into your power, turn them into your light, to transform or transmute that
2:55
energy to a light, darkness into light. Okay, so the first one
3:02
is number one. You have to accept them. A lot of times we
3:07
take them, we bury them, we try and forget them. We just
3:12
tell ourselves it's not that big of a deal. It's I can get over
3:15
this. It's not that. My big thing was I would say, it's
3:19
not that big of a deal. This is what this all I knew.
3:22
I didn't know how big of a deal it was until I started talking about
3:24
it, and then I thought, as I could hear myself talking, I
3:28
was like, that is kind of crazy. That is kind of a big
3:30
deal. So and also too, when you accept these wounds, nothing that
3:37
you've ever gone through makes you less of a person or makes you more of
3:40
a person. If you've gone through a lot, it doesn't make you better
3:44
than anybody else. If you've gone through something excruciating, it doesn't make you
3:47
less than anybody else. No one is more superior inferior than you. It's
3:53
just you and your journey. And you've got to do you because no one
3:58
else can do you. And so when you accept these and when you deal
4:02
with them instead of bury them or pretend they didn't happen or think that they
4:05
weren't that big of a deal, then that's ninety percent of the job.
4:11
Because once you accept them, and once you accept that they're part of you
4:15
and they're part of who you are, then that is like the leaps and
4:18
bounds of how you can heal it or how you can accept who you are.
4:23
And once we've accepted them, instead of burying them, we can heal
4:27
them. And so that's what makes it. You have to deal to heal.
4:30
You have to deal with it to heal it. So that's what I
4:32
always deal to heal. So the one thing you can do is accept it,
4:36
except that it's there, except that that happened, except that that trauma
4:40
happened, except that that that wound was created. Okay, Number two is
4:47
you have to give yourself grace. You have to let it go and let
4:53
it change you. It's not once you go through something that's traumatic. And
4:59
once you lose something, this is with grief too, you always kind of
5:02
you have that feeling that you just want to go back to normal, You
5:04
want to go back to the way you were, or you want to go
5:06
back to the way it was. That's never going to happen. You're new.
5:13
It's going to change you, it's going to make you different, and
5:15
you've got to accept who you're becoming now, who this new person is,
5:20
who this person is without this other person, or who this person is that
5:25
went through that. You've got to give yourself some grace and know that you
5:30
are going to change and that's okay because that thing happened, and you've got
5:36
to move on, not move on, I don't want to say that because
5:40
that's kind of brutal, but move forward into this new person that you are,
5:45
because once we've had a trauma in our lives, we are never going
5:48
to go back to who we were before that never and there's going to be
5:54
things that trigger it throughout your life. There's going to be things that happen
5:57
throughout your life that it's going to be hard because you're going to lose You're
6:01
going to grieve that person you were before. So not only you're grieving if
6:06
it's a loss, you're grieving that person that you lost, but also too,
6:11
if you're dealing through with the trauma or you're dealing through the trauma that
6:13
you dealt with with the loss, you're gonna have to deal with the trauma
6:17
and the grief of losing who you were before that trauma happened. And so
6:23
you have to accept who you are and you have to accept the journey.
6:27
You have to accept that it happened, not deny it, not bury it,
6:30
not think it's crazy, not think you're crazy, But you've got to
6:33
accept this new person that you're going to become. You're going to create this
6:38
new person anymore. You're not that person who you were before, and that
6:42
does not define you. You need to let it go. Also to of
6:46
what other people's opinions of you are. So if people are like, oh,
6:49
you've changed, well yeah I've changed. I've been through something pretty dramatic
6:54
and so yes, I've changed. And you know what, we're supposed to
6:57
change. We're not supposed to be the same person throughout our whole life.
7:01
We're supposed to change and learn and have a journey and experience these these things.
7:06
And so if people I remember when I was going through my divorce and
7:12
my ex was like, you've changed, well, duh, I've changed you.
7:16
I changed because of the pain. I changed because of the things that
7:19
I went through. I changed, and I'm a better person because of it,
7:24
not a worse person ideal to heal. So, yes, I've changed,
7:29
and that I'm proud of that. So when people have said, when
7:31
people tell you you've changed, be proud of that, because whether you've changed
7:36
for the better or for the worses of their opinion, it's up to you
7:40
who you get to be or how you've changed. You get to embrace the
7:45
new you. You get to embrace what you've created because this is your life,
7:48
not theirs, and you get to create that. So that's number two.
7:54
Number three, This is really hard because I don't want it to demean
7:58
what you've gone through, and I don't want it to lessen what you've gone
8:01
through. But I want you to view it as an experience, not as
8:07
a lesson. And when I said lesson last time, I meant like,
8:11
be little trauma is a big deal. But I don't want this to when
8:16
I say view it as an experience, I'm not saying what you went through
8:18
wasn't hurtful and it wasn't real and it wasn't traumatic for you. I'm just
8:24
saying, instead of like treating it as a lesson, like a pass our
8:28
fail thing, I want you to experience. I want you to realize that
8:33
it was an experience. Whether it was a good or bad experience, you
8:37
get to determine that. And usually trauma is not a great experience. But
8:41
you I want you to treat it like it was an experience and not like
8:46
a pass our fail thing, not like you're being punished. A lot of
8:48
times when bad things happen to us, we think we're being punished by God
8:54
or by spirit, or by the gods or whatever. Greek people all the
8:58
time thought they were being punished by the gods, and this is not the
9:01
truth. You're never being punished when you go through a trauma. What you
9:05
are having is an experience. Now, whether you wanted to create that experience
9:09
in a past life or in pre before you came here, that is something
9:15
you can deal with on your own. I don't know the answers to that.
9:18
I think there are some things on this earth that we chose to deal
9:20
with or experience. And there's some things on earth that just happened to us
9:24
by circumstance, and we have to create how we want to react to that.
9:30
So so just no, treat it like an experience. There's not a
9:35
pass or fail. There's no textbook on how to get through it. There's
9:39
no I need to do it this way, there's no It's just an experience.
9:43
You had an experience, and you get to create how you get to
9:48
respond to that experience. And that's pretty much it. This is a journey
9:54
that this life is a journey, and there's going to be appeals and down
10:00
hills on this journey and you get to decide how you accept them or how
10:05
you deal with them. And I, in my journey have buried most of
10:09
my stuff, buried it and pretended that I was just making too big of
10:13
a deal out of it. It wasn't that big of a deal. And
10:16
then when I decided to figure this one thing out, all this other stuff
10:24
kind of start coming out, and now it's like, holy, you're out.
10:26
That was crazy. And you know what, it's not good to bury
10:30
it because when you bury it, that emotion, when you just bury that
10:33
emotion, then that emotion starts to give you disease or make you sick,
10:39
or give you anxiety or give you Burying it, I used to think was
10:43
the best thing I wanted to do because I didn't want to dwell on it.
10:46
I didn't want to go back and think about it. I didn't want
10:46
to I didn't want to make it worse. I didn't want to give it
10:50
life. But honestly, unburying it and dealing with it is hard. But
10:56
it's been so good for me because it helps me because we aha moments,
11:00
it gives me downloads, it helps me realize why I did the things I
11:03
did, and it's just been a beautiful process. It's been hard, the
11:07
shadow work always is, but it's beautiful and so it's part of your journey.
11:13
It's part of making that shadow into light. Like I said before,
11:16
So it gives you power when you have power over it, when you have
11:20
power over your wounds, then that's when you get your power back. So
11:26
number four is keep going. So I know sometimes you run into your brick
11:31
wall, and I want to lighten this, liking it too. When I
11:35
run a marathon, there's this thing called the wall that you hit and when
11:41
I was running the marathon. There were times when I would just be like,
11:45
oh my gosh, I can do this. I thought I could conquer
11:46
the world. And then there was times when I thought that I couldn't make
11:52
it one more step, or it was too painful, or it was too
11:54
hard, and then there was times when I would hit then like I think
11:58
mile twenty is when I hit the wall and I thought I couldn't do this.
12:03
But I'm gonna tell you every every step in that marathon, it was
12:07
like one minute I thought I couldn't do it, and I thought I can't
12:11
do this anymore, and then like two miles later, I was like I'd
12:15
hit my I'd get my second wind, or I'd feel like I could conquer
12:18
the world. And this is what life is like. And those walls are
12:22
not to stop you. Those walls are you to freaking break down. Brick
12:26
walls are for you to hammer down get through them. They're not for you
12:31
to stop. They're for you to either jump over them or just hammer them
12:35
down and get through them. So keep going. Don't think this is too
12:39
hard, I can't do this anymore. Don't think I don't want to deal
12:43
with this anymore. Just keep going. If you need to take a rest
12:46
that is one hundred percent okay, then rest, that's fine. Resting is
12:50
always good. But don't quit. Don't quit trying to heal. Don't quit.
12:56
Don't give up on you. You don't give up on other people.
12:58
So why I give up on you? Just you are the most precious gift,
13:03
and your power and your authenticity is the most important thing that you're ever
13:07
gonna have, and so don't give up on that. Don't give up on
13:09
you. So keep going, keep moving, keep going forward. Tear down
13:15
those frickin' brick walls or jump over them however you want to do it.
13:18
But it may seem hard and it may seem like you can't do it,
13:22
but I promise you you can. You can get over that wall. And
13:26
it's painful, like the marathon was painful. Two days afterwards, I was
13:31
like super sore and can hardly walk. But you know what, now I
13:33
can say I did it and it was amazing and I feel good about it.
13:37
So that's that's awesome. That's I grabbed my power back and I took
13:43
it back. And that's what you deal. That's what you do when you
13:46
heal. You grab your power back this one. Number five is my favorite.
13:52
So and very seldom do we do this. We've all heard about generational
13:56
trauma, generational stuff, and I never really understood it. But here's the
14:01
thing. Even if I don't understand it, even if you don't understand it,
14:03
I kind of get it now. I feel like we leave the energy
14:07
of our trauma at that space, and I feel like sometimes that that's why
14:11
places are haunted, or that's why places have different energy, because sometimes people
14:16
have traumatic events in that space and it helps. That's where the energy is.
14:22
So my favorite thing is to call on your ancestors, because sometimes the
14:28
trauma is generational. If it's alcohol, if it's abuse, if it's something
14:33
like that that's been handed down generation after generation, then the ancestor, your
14:37
ancestors are completely there to help you. Even if it's not generational and it's
14:43
just something you've gone through or you've gone through by yourself, your ancestors are
14:46
still there to help you. I feel like we don't give our ancestors enough
14:50
credit. I know that some religions do. I know that when we when
14:54
I watch Mulan, it talks about the ancestors. I know that culture,
14:58
some culture truly believe that their ancestors are watching over them. I know Native
15:03
Americans do, I know the I think it was Coco? Is it Coco?
15:09
And the Disney movie they talk about their ancestors. I'm telling you,
15:13
with as much readings as I've done and all the things that have come through
15:18
our ancestors, even if you do not know them personally, or you did
15:22
not know them on earth, they are with you, and they guide you,
15:26
and they direct you. They guide you with your spirit guides, they
15:30
help you, they watch over you, and they protect you. And if
15:33
you're dealing with generational trauma, then they're even there even more because when you
15:37
heal that generational trauma, you heal them, and you heal their trauma and
15:43
they get to call back their power too. So when you're the one on
15:46
earth that's going to heal that generational that trauma that's been handed down and handed
15:52
down and handed down, when you finally heal that here, you also healed
15:56
them. It's crazy and I don't know how to explain it, but I
15:58
know that it's true. And so call on your ancestors because they are and
16:04
not even ones that you know, like sure, maybe your father has passed,
16:10
or maybe some ancestors grandma and Grandpa's have passed. I guarantee you they
16:14
are helping you. And the ones that have been specifically through that trauma on
16:18
earth or know what you're going through, they are the ones who are going
16:22
to help you the most with it. It's so crazy. So you can
16:25
call on your ancestors. So you know that Mulan song when she says you'll
16:29
bring honor to us all, when she says ancestors here my plea. That's
16:36
perfect, Like that's perfect God. When you call on your ancestors, you're
16:41
not defying God. You're not because you all work as one. We all
16:45
work as one, we all are one, we all are connected, we
16:48
all are divine. And so when you call on your ancestors, or when
16:52
you have ceremonies for your ancestors, or hold altars for your ancestors, or
16:57
the gravestones or the anything like that, that is their energy helping you.
17:04
Tattoos hold their energy if you get them with the intention of them. So
17:08
call on your ancestors. If there is something that you're struggling with, call
17:14
on your ancestors to help you. There was some stuff that I was going
17:17
through to try and help heal. And I can't even tell you how many
17:23
times my dad showed up for me to deal with it, to help because
17:29
a lot of it was maybe from him from childhood, but so he would
17:33
obviously be there to help me with it, right because if you follow me,
17:37
you know he was an alcoholic, great guy, but he had some
17:40
alcohol issues. And just know that I know that my grandmother has stepped up.
17:45
Both of them on both sides have stepped up to help me deal with
17:48
some issues. And I can feel their presence and I know that they're there.
17:52
And every time I do a reading, grandparents will always come in.
17:56
Our ancestors always come in and say, I know you're going through this,
17:57
and I know you're going through this, and I know you're going through this,
18:00
and I'm here helping you. This is what I'm here to do.
18:03
This is we're all part of soul families, and we're all part of this
18:07
soul family and they want nothing more than to help us on this journey and
18:12
they want to help us to heal. So we can step into our power
18:15
and we can help heal them. So call on your ancestors, Pray to
18:21
them, talk to them, write, in your journal to them. They
18:26
hear you regardless. They hear you when you talk out loud to them.
18:29
They hear when you write and ask God. Pray to God and pray that
18:33
you can help with his or her the universe with their understanding and with that
18:41
power of assurance and consistency and comfort and confidence that you can get through this
18:45
because because if anything, God is going to be your number one supporter,
18:52
your ancestors and your guides, but they work with the Divine, and the
18:57
Divine wants you to come home, and the Divine wants you to. I
19:03
want you to think of God as not of somebody who sent you on this
19:08
earth to learn all these lessons and have a pass or fail test God.
19:14
I want you to imagine when you were little and you'd go outside and play,
19:18
and your mom would say, Okay, it's time to go play,
19:21
and you'd go outside and you'd have this back in the day before there were
19:23
phones. You'd have this big adventure all day long, and then when the
19:27
light turned on, when the light post turned on, you knew it was
19:30
time to go home, or when the lights flickered on your house. The
19:34
porch light would flicker on your house it was time to go home. And
19:38
so when you went home and your parents opened their arms and said how was
19:44
your day, and you told them all about the things that you did while
19:47
you're on your while you were playing. This is what your journey through life
19:52
is. This is what God wants you to do. When your ancestors wanted
19:56
to do, they're not You're not going to go home and say when the
19:59
light flickers or the light post turns on, the corner street leb turns on,
20:03
You're not going to go home. And God's going to be like,
20:07
Okay, what did you do and did you pass or fail? And did
20:10
you do this wrong? God's going to say, welcome home and tell me
20:14
all about your journey. So God wants you to heal, heal so you
20:18
can step into your power. Your ancestors want you to heal. Your soul
20:22
wants you to heal, deal to heal, and so do it because that's
20:30
when you become authentically you. When you accept yourself for all the trauma that
20:34
you've ever gone through, and you accept yourself for the way you handled it,
20:38
and you accept yourself for the way you are now or who you changed
20:42
into after the trauma. This is when you get to step in your to
20:47
your power. So those are the stuff I think six things that you do
20:52
to to turn your wounds into your power. And when you turn your wounds,
20:57
your power becomes your medicine, and that's how you heal. Your medicine
21:03
can also help heal other people. Once you deal with your stuff and you
21:07
heal your shit, then you can help other people with theirs. And that's
21:12
why it's so important as an impath, as a healer, as a person
21:18
that affects other people and your own self that you heal yourself so you can
21:23
finally also, once you heal it and deal with it, then you can
21:29
help others. And that's what we're here to do, because we're all just
21:32
on this journey to help each other home. That's what we're here to do,
21:34
and sometimes we're not very helpful, especially when we haven't dealt with our
21:40
own stuff. So that is how it sounds super simple, and it's not.
21:45
It's super It can be really painful, and it can be really hard,
21:49
and it can cause some anxiety and depression, but once you get through
21:53
it, it is the most amazing thing you can ever do for yourself.
22:00
If you need counseling to do it. I highly recommend you do that too,
22:03
because sometimes we can't do it on our own, and so I suggest
22:08
that you find a counselor because your mom is not equipped to handle it,
22:12
your siblings are not equipped to handle it, and your friends are not equipped
22:17
to handle it. Venting sessions are great, but counselors, people who who've
22:22
been trained in this know how to give you the tools to deal with the
22:25
triggers or know how you deal, how you express your feelings, and they
22:30
