00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:20,690
Hello again, welcome to Practically Magic.

3
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:22,740
This is Courtney Pearl.

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:30,450
Today I am your healer, folk witch, and
here to talk about all things magical.

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,940
I have devoted my life to studying and
recognizing real magic and energetics that

6
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:42,240
exists in the world and how you can access
that and make it play a part in your life.

7
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:48,330
And today I'm going to go on a topic that

8
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:51,840
has been brought to my attention
a few friends and people that have

9
00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:53,600
come for card readings with me.

10
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:56,860
And I feel like the subject
has come up a few times.

11
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:04,170
So that is what has inspired today's
episode about living a delusional

12
00:01:04,170 --> 00:01:07,460
life and why maybe that's a benefit.

13
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:12,590
Okay, I'm going to start
out with a card reading.

14
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:14,690
We're going to pull a card.

15
00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:16,060
I just

16
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:22,410
recently got to visit the conjuring tree
at their new location around the corner

17
00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:28,170
from where they used to be and they are

18
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,420
in this fabulously big space.

19
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:36,370
I purchased this hat from them.

20
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,860
So you're going to see me around
town wearing this hat a lot.

21
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:45,870
If you cannot see it, it's because
you're not watching on YouTube.

22
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:46,550
check it out.

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,340
Purchased a hat and I purchased
a new tarot deck, which I

24
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:54,650
absolutely love already.

25
00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:59,706
This tarot deck is written by Christopher
Hughes who wrote Druidry and is

26
00:01:59,706 --> 00:02:00,790
head of the Druid Order in Anglesey.

27
00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:10,330
I have crossed paths with a lot
of the same people who run in the

28
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:12,520
circles with Christopher Hughes.

29
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:16,770
I have not met him myself yet,
which only makes me so, sad.

30
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,750
I'm hoping one day I will get
to rub elbows with him and

31
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:22,320
have a conversation with him.

32
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:24,540
But for now...

00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:25,021
Ride The Wave Media

34
00:02:25,090 --> 00:02:31,620
I'm reading his book and I'm excited
to have his Celtic Tarot deck.

35
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,560
So

36
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:38,180
a lot of Celtic themes in
this deck and I love it.

37
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,100
The artwork is pretty cool.

38
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:42,860
I'm just getting familiar with that.

39
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:49,940
And as I have been preparing to
record, I'm actually several days

40
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:54,660
late on recording this episode on what
day I had scheduled or planned to.

41
00:02:55,580 --> 00:03:01,620
But to be honest, we had the full moon
in Pisces a couple of weeks ago from

42
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:10,320
the time that I'm recording this and
the energy has just been so chaotic,

43
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:19,420
so emotional, getting sick with a cold,
feeling depressed, feeling down, feeling

44
00:03:19,420 --> 00:03:23,030
like all of the burdens of the entire
world's energy was on my shoulders.

45
00:03:23,050 --> 00:03:25,310
And I don't know if anyone else
is feeling this, but I am a

46
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,900
Pisces is my sun sign.

47
00:03:29,570 --> 00:03:32,480
And if I'm learning anything
about astrology, it's that

48
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:39,850
I can feel things pretty heavily, which
is a blessing and a curse at times.

49
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,380
So I will just be honest with you.

50
00:03:42,490 --> 00:03:47,280
It has been rough and I have
probably changed the topic of what

51
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,730
this episode is going to be a few
times because I kept thinking, well,

52
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:51,900
maybe I want to talk about this.

53
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,760
No, that doesn't quite feel right.

54
00:03:54,270 --> 00:03:54,920
Maybe this.

55
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:58,930
And there were days this week
where I literally just could

56
00:03:58,930 --> 00:04:00,340
not get my act together.

57
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:06,460
Like have those days, you know, where
you just are like, I just don't feel it.

58
00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:07,880
I just don't feel up to it.

59
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:09,920
And that's rare for me.

60
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,880
I'm very, very open to talking about
anything and everything all the time.

61
00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:17,120
Usually.

62
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:22,900
But this week I wanted to crawl inside my
hole and I didn't want to talk to anybody.

63
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:25,020
And I really didn't want
to go out or do anything.

64
00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:29,660
And I definitely didn't feel
like recording an episode.

65
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:34,330
So I apologize for how I'm
bringing that energy into what

66
00:04:34,330 --> 00:04:35,490
we're talking about today.

67
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:41,170
Today feels like just kind of like
a I am going to go with this and

68
00:04:41,170 --> 00:04:42,870
we're going to just see what happens.

69
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:45,610
Kind of a kind of a
day, which is all right.

70
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:47,770
And I apologize for how I
sound because I probably don't

71
00:04:50,030 --> 00:04:51,170
super clear.

72
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,140
I've kind of got the remnants of a cold
that I've been fighting with all week.

74
00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:58,210
So let's begin.

75
00:04:58,210 --> 00:05:00,740
We've got our card.

76
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,510
my gosh.

77
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,590
Yes.

78
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:07,070
how crazy.

79
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:09,850
Yeah, this is for sure
the right card to pull.

80
00:05:10,140 --> 00:05:11,960
I have pulled a ton of swords.

81
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,960
Now, as I let people know when I'm
doing a card reading is I don't really

82
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,110
believe in good or bad cards, but tarot
is definitely a sort of divination

83
00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:25,750
modality that is real raw and real honest.

84
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:30,030
Whereas Oracle cards, it's
kind of like your gateway.

85
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,640
divination because oracle cards
can a lot of times be just really

86
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,700
great for affirmations and for
what it is that you need to hear at

87
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,880
the moment you need to hear it and
it's usually just very uplifting.

88
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:50,010
Tarot can be uplifting as well but it's
kind of like that friend of yours that's

89
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:55,790
going to tell you exactly what she
thinks and she does it because she loves

90
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:57,850
you but it's sometimes hard to hear.

91
00:05:58,260 --> 00:05:58,850
Do you know what I mean?

92
00:05:58,850 --> 00:06:04,270
And you're like, I know she's right,
but man, she can be kind of a witch.

93
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:08,500
That's tarot in their relationship.

94
00:06:08,570 --> 00:06:09,540
I have with it.

95
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,750
So ton of swords.

96
00:06:12,130 --> 00:06:14,590
I'm going to show this on the
video for those of you who are able

97
00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:20,390
to see this is the ton of swords
from this tarot, the Celtic tarot.

98
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:20,630
And

99
00:06:22,660 --> 00:06:25,510
that's pretty much what it looks like
in most of the tarot decks that I have.

100
00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:28,330
It's a body laying on the ground.

101
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:31,230
10 swords sticking out of it,

102
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,030
out of their back specifically.

103
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:41,010
Definitely they didn't
do this self -inflicted.

104
00:06:41,010 --> 00:06:45,250
It's definitely someone stabbing them
in the back 10 times with 10 swords.

106
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:51,850
And everything that I just described
about this week and how difficult it's

107
00:06:51,850 --> 00:06:56,220
been and maybe the energy of what the
full moon, this is eclipse season,

108
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,650
what all of that has felt like and
what it means to those of us who are

109
00:07:00,890 --> 00:07:06,210
especially those who are empathetic or
who are empaths, who are sensitive to

110
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,600
energies, who just feel things deeply.

111
00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:14,580
I try to pretend that I'm not as affected.

112
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,010
I try to go about my life acting like

113
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,640
yeah, the moon is in whatever phase and
we're in whatever astrological season

114
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,290
or you know, the planets are wherever
they're at and I'm aware of all that.

115
00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:30,820
But I try to pretend like I can
just continue living my life

116
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:33,460
as a however I've planned it.

117
00:07:33,950 --> 00:07:37,050
However, my planner needs it to look.

118
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:44,900
I'm also a Libra rising and I kind of feel
like this impacts me in the way that I

119
00:07:45,230 --> 00:07:46,620
continually want balance.

120
00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:50,540
I continually want my
schedule to be balanced out.

121
00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:52,950
I want everything to be in its place.

122
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,820
And when I make a schedule, it's
pretty much I'm going to follow

123
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:02,380
it unless something major happens.

124
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:05,750
Well, this week that is
just not how it's been.

125
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:11,550
My schedule has been made and
completely thrown out the window.

126
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:14,700
Being sick, there were
days when I just felt like

127
00:08:15,090 --> 00:08:18,100
I can't even open my
eyes and get out of bed.

128
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:19,650
I feel so tired.

129
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:22,580
So I would send the kids off to school.

130
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:26,880
And even though I had this schedule
or this to -do list, I just blew

131
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,980
it off and went back to bed.

132
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,060
And that didn't make me feel better
because there was still that part of me

133
00:08:34,060 --> 00:08:36,580
that was like, you shouldn't be in bed.

134
00:08:36,590 --> 00:08:37,750
You should be getting stuff done.

135
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,230
There's all these things
that need to be done.

136
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:40,660
You you're not that sick.

137
00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:42,380
You can get up and do some things.

138
00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:44,490
And it has been like,

139
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,440
being at war with myself.

140
00:08:47,170 --> 00:08:53,290
So the 10 of swords coming up is no
surprise at all because I feel like

141
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,600
the energy around this week has been
or the message that it has been for me

142
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:06,840
has been you needed to go through this
week, this hard, hard week to remind

143
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,960
you that some things need to die.

144
00:09:09,970 --> 00:09:11,166
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [08:55.308]

145
00:09:11,166 --> 00:09:14,150
that there are certain expectations
you are keeping or you are

146
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:18,190
holding for yourself that
cannot possibly be good for you.

147
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,450
And even though you've decided that
this is what you should be doing,

148
00:09:23,290 --> 00:09:27,350
we've got a case of the shoulds
and we need to get rid of it.

149
00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:35,870
So kind of reinventing, recalculating,
reflecting on what it is that I'm

150
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:38,620
really doing here and what do I
want to be spending my time on.

151
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,890
And that's been kind of coming up a lot
lately where I've been really busy, really

152
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:48,660
burning myself out, burning the candle
at both ends and trying to do it all and

153
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:54,020
losing sight of the vision of what it
is that I really want to make happen.

154
00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:59,830
And that is where the theme today
we can roll into that because I

155
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:06,030
have been receiving this message and
some of the card readings that I've

156
00:10:06,030 --> 00:10:09,300
been doing and some of the people
that I've been talking with and I

157
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,720
I realize as a Pisces, it's very
easy for me and has always been

158
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,280
easy for me to disassociate.

159
00:10:17,830 --> 00:10:21,380
Psychologists will tell you that
disassociating is a common coping

160
00:10:21,390 --> 00:10:28,370
mechanism for trauma and for dealing
with hard things, avoiding those hard

161
00:10:28,370 --> 00:10:33,200
things, avoiding triggers, avoiding pain,
avoiding what we don't want to face.

162
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:35,400
We tend to disassociate.

163
00:10:36,370 --> 00:10:37,690
In the energetic world,

164
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:42,650
You know, it's the same vocabulary we
can say disassociating, but we can also

165
00:10:42,650 --> 00:10:48,740
call it leaving your body, living in a
delusional kind of state of mind where

166
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:53,350
instead of dealing with the reality
of what's happening around you, we

167
00:10:53,350 --> 00:11:00,200
tend to create a new reality in our
head or step outside of our body, in

168
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,250
our mind or in our spirit or from...

169
00:11:04,890 --> 00:11:09,340
into kind of a different dimension
or astral projection or however

170
00:11:09,340 --> 00:11:13,910
you want to explain that happening,
but there is a removal, right?

171
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,040
And it leaves us feeling
really not grounded.

172
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,260
So in our chakras, instead of being
grounded in our body and present

173
00:11:23,270 --> 00:11:29,580
in the moment and supporting our
root chakra, we tend to rise up

174
00:11:30,330 --> 00:11:33,730
into our head or out of our head

175

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [11:19.014]

176
00:11:34,770 --> 00:11:37,990
into the crown chakra into the above.

177
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,440
It's almost as if we're above our
bodies and witnessing what's going

178
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,390
on with our bodies from above.

179
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:49,790
So a lot of times I will ask people if
they feel like they've been just kind

180
00:11:49,790 --> 00:11:56,580
of doing life on autopilot while also
living life kind of outside of the

181
00:11:56,580 --> 00:11:58,400
realm of what they're experiencing.

182
00:11:59,450 --> 00:12:03,820
And I want to say that just like a

183
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:08,300
I've heard psychologists say
that disassociating is not

184
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:13,200
necessarily a bad thing because
we learn to do it at a young age.

185
00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:19,440
We learn to do this as a coping
strategy to, know, especially for

186
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,020
young children, they learn to do
this because they're in a situation

187
00:12:23,020 --> 00:12:24,820
they have little or no control over.

188
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,660
And that's not necessarily a bad
thing, especially when I'm doing

189
00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:31,800
emotional processing sessions
with clients and they'll say,

190
00:12:32,950 --> 00:12:37,670
When I was dealing with this or when I was
in this situation that was very difficult,

191
00:12:38,380 --> 00:12:43,900
I just tended to leave my body or I
tended to just pretend it wasn't happening

192
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,920
or avoid it in some way or just
go numb and live in a state of

193
00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:54,040
apathy while things were happening.

194
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,420
When they were getting
potentially yelled at or

195
00:12:59,430 --> 00:13:02,870
abused or whatever kind of
situation they found themselves in.

196
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:06,810
And it doesn't even necessarily have
to be that traumatic or dramatic.

197
00:13:06,830 --> 00:13:09,390
It just is traumatic for the child.

198
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,470
And when you don't have control over
the situation, disassociating is a very,

199
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,540
very clever way to protect yourself.

200
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:21,120
So there's nothing
necessarily wrong with that.

201
00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:25,230
But to remain in that state
constantly is not healthy.

202
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:26,770
And your body and

203
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:32,900
and spirit or body and mind and soul
need to be as whole and integrated as

204
00:13:32,930 --> 00:13:38,910
possible for most of the time to be able
to operate at optimum capacity, to be

205
00:13:38,930 --> 00:13:41,760
able to be present in the moment and also

206
00:13:45,010 --> 00:13:53,780
feeling joy and feeling in control
and feeling connected is optimal

207
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,470
for health for all kinds of reasons.

Ride The Wave Media

209
00:13:57,060 --> 00:13:58,850
for your body's health,
for your mind's health.

210
00:13:59,970 --> 00:14:08,630
But that being said, I think that whether
it's for traumatic reasons or not, I tend

211
00:14:08,630 --> 00:14:18,390
to live in a fantasy world most of the
time, just so that I can attract or be a

212
00:14:18,390 --> 00:14:24,050
part of a certain frequency or vibration
that I would like to attract in my life.

213
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,620
kind of try to give some examples.

214
00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:32,140
So, and I think that there's a lot of
people that are like me that just are, you

215
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,250
we're probably very imaginative children.

216
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:39,510
And this is just how they learned
to make their lives a little bit

217
00:14:39,510 --> 00:14:43,180
more magical or a little bit more
fantastical than what was average.

218
00:14:43,830 --> 00:14:46,080
We all want to feel special and important.

219
00:14:46,110 --> 00:14:47,980
We all want to feel significant.

220
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:51,900
We all want to feel like
maybe we're the ones who

221
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,890
are going to receive that Hogwarts
letter and say, you are special.

222
00:14:56,890 --> 00:15:01,340
We've deemed you as somebody who
has some magical powers or has some

223
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:09,150
connection to something more exciting
than the average muggle life, right?

224
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:12,350
Something in capacity.

225
00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:16,370
That's why we all love the stories
that are told about some average

226
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:20,580
girl or average boy who all of
a sudden their life changes when

227
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:29,360
It's found out that they're a descendant
of Merlin or they're part fairy or

228
00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:34,750
there's a prophecy about them that
they are the chosen one meant to save

229
00:15:34,750 --> 00:15:36,480
everyone or some such thing like that.

230
00:15:36,490 --> 00:15:42,590
We all love that kind of storyline
because it gives us that specialness that

231
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:46,930
we all hope to have, right?

232
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,220
But the truth is,

233
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,490
Every single one of us is that and that
makes all of us pretty average, right?

234
00:15:56,350 --> 00:16:00,550
And I think everybody engages with that
kind of storyline in a different way.

235
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,510
Some people just enjoy it and
some people wish it was them.

236
00:16:03,690 --> 00:16:07,150
And some people are really not,
I guess, depending on their

237
00:16:07,170 --> 00:16:10,870
astrological zodiac signs, they
might engage with that storyline

238
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:13,270
or that fantasy world differently.

239
00:16:13,290 --> 00:16:16,730
There's a lot of people who
don't enjoy fantasy at all.

240
00:16:16,740 --> 00:16:19,330
They would really rather live
in the logical, practical,

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [16:03.85]

242
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:23,350
reality world that they can see,
touch, and feel around them.

243
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:32,020
But I do think that there is something
to be said for imagining your life

244
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:38,310
exactly how you would will it or would
want it to be, even if it's going

245
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,380
through the motions of everyday things.

246
00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:48,370
It's not so much to disassociate
or to avoid triggers or

247
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,880
to avoid some kind of pain that we're
not willing to face or some kind of

248
00:16:56,170 --> 00:17:02,410
shadow part of us that we're just not
quite ready to see and heal and witness.

249
00:17:03,130 --> 00:17:09,070
But it can be a really great
way to manifest what it is we

250
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:10,390
are looking for in our lives.

251
00:17:11,170 --> 00:17:13,550
So for example,

252
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:24,110
Let's say I really, really want to
just be the type of person like a Kim

253
00:17:24,110 --> 00:17:27,260
Kardashian who doesn't worry about money.

254
00:17:27,890 --> 00:17:35,460
My day is filled with exciting
adventures and just, you know,

255
00:17:35,580 --> 00:17:37,670
meeting and connecting with people.

256
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,370
And I am like a celebrity.

257
00:17:41,670 --> 00:17:42,090
I...

258
00:17:42,260 --> 00:17:43,270
really can do no wrong.

259
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:46,520
I'm just walking through the day
kind of going, I have this meeting

260
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,170
and I have that meeting and I have
this to do and I have that to do.

261
00:17:49,420 --> 00:17:53,690
And all of it is stuff that I'm passionate
about and I'm creatively involved in.

262
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,340
And that's how I would like to see
my life at that moment in time.

263
00:17:59,590 --> 00:18:01,820
Well, my life is pretty average.

264
00:18:01,830 --> 00:18:09,200
It's no different than any probably
typical Mormon mom, Utah mom who's

265
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:14,030
around here that just is trying to
start a business and is just trying

266
00:18:14,030 --> 00:18:18,630
to raise her kids and needs to pick
up the kids when school gets out

267
00:18:18,690 --> 00:18:21,270
and got to make a grocery list.

268
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:24,240
That's just my average everyday life.

269
00:18:24,810 --> 00:18:30,660
But if I live in a delusional fantasy
that this is the way that my life is

270
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:36,470
busy, like a Kim Kardashian type, busy.

Ride The Wave Media

272
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:44,080
It does no harm to me or anyone
else that I live in my own head.

273
00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:53,580
Like this is all part of my
fantastic wealthy empire that I am

274
00:18:53,630 --> 00:18:56,510
busy all day taking care of things.

275
00:18:57,610 --> 00:19:02,070
Now, if I live in that reality,
what I'm doing is I am allowing

276
00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:07,760
my body to raise to a vibrational
frequency of sort of like pretend.

277
00:19:08,130 --> 00:19:13,140
I mean, when you're a little kid, you can
walk around the grocery store with your

278
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:18,890
mom and pretend like instead of a grocery
store, you're in a castle and you're a

279
00:19:18,890 --> 00:19:22,390
princess and you're walking around the
castle instead of the grocery store.

280
00:19:23,090 --> 00:19:26,410
And all that does is make the trip
to the grocery store a little less

281
00:19:26,490 --> 00:19:31,190
boring and making you feel like
you're royalty walking around this

282
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,230
giant, massive building as a princess.

283
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:38,350
And to me...

284
00:19:41,070 --> 00:19:45,560
Yes, I can understand how some people
would be like, well, that's just insanity.

285
00:19:47,850 --> 00:19:49,310
You, you are just an insane person.

286
00:19:49,310 --> 00:19:51,400
If you just walk around thinking
you're living a different

287
00:19:51,410 --> 00:19:52,480
life than you actually are.

288
00:19:53,450 --> 00:19:54,740
And I would beg to differ.

289
00:19:55,370 --> 00:20:00,460
would say, why not make your life
more magical in your own head?

290
00:20:00,470 --> 00:20:03,010
Even if it's just you who's imagining it.

291
00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:05,300
Why not?

292
00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:09,920
And what if it actually benefits you?

293
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:19,630
by changing your neural pathways from
living in worry and fear and anxiety,

294
00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:24,220
worrying that you're gonna be late to
all these things you have to do and

295
00:20:24,220 --> 00:20:27,500
you have to hurry here and you have
to hurry there and you don't have

enough money to make all of these
things happen that you need to have.

00:20:44,110 --> 00:20:49,780
What if we believed ourselves
to be actually magical?

302
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:57,620
Because as you probably already know,
if you've been listening to this

303
00:20:57,630 --> 00:21:03,530
podcast at all over the last year, I
truly do believe we are all magical.

304
00:21:04,150 --> 00:21:07,550
I think the magic looks a little
different than what they portray

305
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,010
in movies, but I do believe that
there is something to be said about

306
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,440
believing in yourself
and believing in you.

307
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,480
manifesting what it is you want.

308
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:26,730
And as I've said before on other
episodes, I believe that what they

309
00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:31,440
tried to write about in the secret
or in the science of getting rich is

310
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,500
they tried to give that to people.

311
00:21:33,820 --> 00:21:36,490
There is real magic.

312
00:21:36,530 --> 00:21:40,830
There is something about believing
in something and living in it in your

313
00:21:40,830 --> 00:21:45,820
mind that projects that out into the
universe and then attracts it to you.

314
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:47,960
So all you have to do is

315
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:51,150
ask for it and then receive it.

316
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,320
Well, that all sounded
really, really great.

317
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:56,950
And I think there was a ton of
people that got really excited.

318
00:21:56,950 --> 00:22:01,670
And, I remember when the secret
was all over television and all

319
00:22:01,670 --> 00:22:05,830
over, mean, they were discussing it
everywhere and people were getting

320
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:08,860
really excited, but it phased out.

321
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,740
And I think it phased out because
people didn't have the whole formula.

322
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,490
They didn't know what it was that
made that sort of thing happen.

323
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:23,560
And not all of us can live in a state
of like positive thinking all the time.

324
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:29,230
I'm actually one who believes that maybe
that is somewhat toxic to be in like, we

325
00:22:29,230 --> 00:22:30,780
have to think positively all the time.

326
00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:31,930
Never ever say anything.

327
00:22:31,930 --> 00:22:33,570
Never, never have any doubts.

328
00:22:34,650 --> 00:22:37,930
But it's true that when you're
using the law of attraction, if you

329
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:42,970
doubt it, if you have fear, you're
lowering, lowering your vibrational

330
00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:46,760
frequency to match that fear instead of

332
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:50,790
what you can do to raise your
vibrational frequency to live in a world

333
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,980
where that is already coming to you.

334
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,070
There have been many ways in my life
where this has happened and worked out

335
00:22:59,070 --> 00:23:03,700
for me, which is that there have been
times where I've asked for something.

336
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,710
in one way, or form or another.

337
00:23:08,990 --> 00:23:14,450
There's a lot of different ways to ask
for something and asking who you might

338
00:23:14,450 --> 00:23:19,750
say, asking your higher power, asking
the creative source of the universe.

339
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:23,860
When people say the universe, I mean,
want the science -y people to understand

340
00:23:24,190 --> 00:23:28,480
that, yeah, we understand that the
universe is not actually giving us things.

341
00:23:28,660 --> 00:23:34,190
It's more about the creative force
that created the universe that is.

342
00:23:34,450 --> 00:23:38,120
also creating things for us individually.

343
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,190
So we're tapping into that power.

344
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:43,140
We're tapping into what exists.

345
00:23:43,150 --> 00:23:47,080
Like we think it, therefore it exists.

346
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:52,850
I once saw this sculpture when I was
going around art galleries and I saw

347
00:23:52,850 --> 00:23:59,770
this sculpture where there was a, it was
a bronze sculpture and it had a scale.

348
00:24:00,380 --> 00:24:03,250
Looked like, you know, kind
of the justice scales, right?

349
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,120
And on one side of the scale was a bundle
of eggs, unhatched, unbroken, just eggs.

350
00:24:11,790 --> 00:24:14,320
And on the other side of
the scale were chicks,

351
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,890
a number of chicks standing on the scale.

352
00:24:18,910 --> 00:24:20,260
This was all made out of bronze.

353
00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:23,370
And the scale weighed the same.

354
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:24,910
It was equal, right?

355
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,170
It wasn't imbalanced in any way.

356
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:31,010
And I stood there looking at
this scale for a very long time.

357
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:34,170
I looked at the sculpture and I
was just really contemplating it.

358
00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:38,190
And the woman who owned the
gallery walked up and said, what

359
00:24:38,190 --> 00:24:39,920
do you think this sculpture means?

360
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,960
What do you see out of it?

361
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:52,190
And I said, I think it means that the
very idea of something has equal value

362
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,670
to the actual manifestation of the thing.

363

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [24:41.056]

364
00:24:56,860 --> 00:24:59,880
It's not that the chicks had hatched yet.

365
00:25:00,110 --> 00:25:08,000
It's the idea that they will hatch,
that they are already being brought into

366
00:25:08,010 --> 00:25:15,230
being, into the universe that is equal,
equal value to the thing actually being

367
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,040
there, the chicks that have hatched.

368
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,740
And I think about this concept a lot.

369
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:26,060
It's like, does it matter that I actually

370
00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:29,150
I am a powerful magical witch.

371
00:25:31,790 --> 00:25:39,730
me create spells about money or beauty
or I don't know, to be thinner, be

372
00:25:42,090 --> 00:25:48,790
wealthier, have more free time, have
more leisure, to have joy and happiness,

373
00:25:48,820 --> 00:25:55,300
to have connected, vulnerable,
beautiful relationships with my

374
00:25:55,370 --> 00:25:57,640
family members, with my friends.

375
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:04,300
Is it enough just to believe that
those things are already possible?

376
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,580
And that by believing that they're
possible, I am already creating that

377
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,950
and making that happen for myself.

378
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,260
So I said I would give some examples.

379
00:26:15,610 --> 00:26:20,090
If you can see me in the video, if you're
watching YouTube, I have on a necklace.

380
00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:24,740
It's a Celtic tree knot
necklace on a rope.

381
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:26,570
I've been wearing it a lot lately.

382
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:36,700
I purchased a necklace exactly like
this when we were doing in vitro

383
00:26:37,340 --> 00:26:43,460
treatments for my twins when I hadn't
gotten pregnant yet and we were going,

384
00:26:43,550 --> 00:26:45,210
we had to drive out to California.

385
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,100
And during that time, was very into
the idea of understanding the different

386
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:53,560
universal laws of attraction and kind of

387
00:26:54,150 --> 00:26:56,340
what that looked like and how to use that.

388
00:26:56,980 --> 00:27:00,340
I was not calling myself a
witch at that point in time.

389
00:27:02,110 --> 00:27:04,960
Didn't see any association
with that, but I've always

390
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,430
loved witches and witchy stuff.

391
00:27:07,390 --> 00:27:12,870
Anyway, driving out to California to do
the treatments and the appointments that

392
00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:17,150
we needed to do, we were in Sacramento
and there was this adorable little

393
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:23,930
witchy metaphysical shop with all kinds
of jewelry, crystals, tarot, incense.

394

Ride The Wave Media

395
00:27:24,340 --> 00:27:27,380
the type of things you
typically see, dream catchers.

396
00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:29,010
mean, you know the kind of place.

397
00:27:29,010 --> 00:27:30,410
Smells like patchouli, right?

398
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,450
And we went in, it was
in Old Town Sacramento.

399
00:27:34,460 --> 00:27:38,390
We walked in and I saw this Celtic
tree knot with a stone in the middle

400
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,440
that was really pretty and colorful.

401
00:27:40,550 --> 00:27:42,000
And I love things that are colorful.

402
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:49,970
So I purchased it and I kind of infused
it with a spell, if you will, before

403
00:27:49,970 --> 00:27:51,990
I knew that that's what I was doing.

404
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:58,170
I basically said this is my talisman
or my good luck charm for this transfer

405
00:27:58,230 --> 00:28:02,480
of embryos, hoping that I would be
able to get pregnant, that that would

406
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,450
be something that I wanted very, very
much and that this would help me.

407
00:28:08,590 --> 00:28:10,450
I wore it for the transfer.

408
00:28:11,710 --> 00:28:15,610
I wore it during all of the weeks
that I was waiting to find out if

409
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:21,730
the transfer took and the embryos
took and we would possibly maybe be

410
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:24,550
pregnant and it was a very exciting time.

411
00:28:24,850 --> 00:28:26,070
I was very nervous.

412
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:27,690
I'd never been pregnant before.

413
00:28:27,690 --> 00:28:29,060
I'd never even had the chance

414
00:28:31,540 --> 00:28:34,340
to possibly be pregnant ever.

415
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,770
So this was a really exciting time for me.

416
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,610
And you can see in all the
pictures I'm wearing this necklace

417
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,180
and it turned out it worked.

418
00:28:44,210 --> 00:28:46,260
We got pregnant with our twins.

419
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,440
I had them.

420
00:28:49,090 --> 00:28:50,090
Time went on.

421
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,860
And I lost the necklace at some point.

422
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:57,550
I don't know when, but when I moved
or something, necklace was gone

423
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:00,700
and I really loved that necklace.

424
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:04,050
I loved the way it looked, despite
what it meant to me sentimentally.

425
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:08,120
just, I liked the way it looked
and I really wanted it back,

426
00:29:09,570 --> 00:29:10,640
but I couldn't find it anywhere.

427
00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:15,340
And I honestly couldn't find anything
just exactly like it anywhere.

428
00:29:16,290 --> 00:29:18,550
And so I sort of put
it out in the universe.

429
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,560
Like I

430
00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:22,590
just really want that necklace back.

431
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,380
I really want the same
one if I can find it.

432
00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:31,020
And just this last summer, we went back
to, we were driving through Sacramento

433
00:29:31,020 --> 00:29:33,540
to go to a family reunion in California.

434
00:29:33,550 --> 00:29:37,680
And so when we were passing through,
we stopped in Old Town, Sacramento,

435
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,300
and I went to the same exact shop
again to go see if I could find it.

436
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,550
And they didn't have one.

437
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:47,980
They had a Celtic tree knot necklace
that was similar without the stone.

438
00:29:48,130 --> 00:29:48,560
And I

439
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:48,823
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [29:33.143]

440
00:29:48,860 --> 00:29:51,990
I purchased that because I was
kind of like, well, at least

441
00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:53,160
it's something kind of similar.

442
00:29:54,830 --> 00:30:02,450
Not a couple of, was maybe two months
later after that, we were in Trolley

443
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:08,290
Square shopping when we were staying
there in Salt Lake for a staycation

444
00:30:08,350 --> 00:30:11,990
for our anniversary, my husband and
I, and we were just shopping around,

445
00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:14,710
window shopping, looking around
at the shops at Trolley Square.

446
00:30:15,370 --> 00:30:21,670
lo and behold, for the first time
in years, I saw this exact same

447
00:30:21,670 --> 00:30:24,220
necklace was right there in the shop.

448
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:32,210
And I feel like you can call it
coincidence and that's fine too, but

449
00:30:32,340 --> 00:30:36,730
I have had so many experiences in
my life where I ask for something

450
00:30:36,730 --> 00:30:42,800
specifically and then I live in a
delusional world as if I already have it.

451
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,370
And I'm not sure if I'm making
any sense to anyone, but I live

452
00:30:47,570 --> 00:30:54,270
in a state of mind and body as if
I already have the thing I want.

453
00:30:55,490 --> 00:31:01,120
And I can rarely think of a time when that
didn't work to get me the thing I wanted.

454
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,470
I've been very blessed and very lucky.

455
00:31:05,470 --> 00:31:08,760
And I realized that because of
a lot of reasons, socioeconomic

456
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,010
and all kinds of other reasons,
I'm a very privileged person.

457
00:31:12,460 --> 00:31:13,610
I recognize that.

458
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:23,450
But I am inviting people to live in a
delusional world once in a while and see

459
00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:31,720
how it feels to say, if I had this, if I
could do this, if I lived my life like I

460
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,830
in my wildest fantasies
what that would look like.

461
00:31:36,910 --> 00:31:42,510
The worst that could happen is that
you never get the thing you want, but

462
00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:47,710
you get to live for moments at a time
in your mind as if it is happening.

463
00:31:48,910 --> 00:31:56,470
And you get to feel the joy
and the excitement of, wow,

464
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,700
wouldn't this be amazing?

466
00:31:59,780 --> 00:32:03,490
For me, I find it a little bit
easier, maybe because I am a Pisces.

467
00:32:03,730 --> 00:32:08,350
I have always, since I was
a child, lived like this.

468
00:32:09,470 --> 00:32:12,960
I like to try on different
lives just for fun.

469
00:32:13,550 --> 00:32:17,150
In fact, when I'm taking walks and I
take walks often in my neighborhood,

470
00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:21,700
one of my favorite things to do
is walking past different houses

471
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:24,560
or town homes or apartments.

472
00:32:25,290 --> 00:32:27,990
I walk by a lot of different
places here in daybreak and

473
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:33,150
I love to imagine what my life
would be like if I lived in

474
00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:35,150
those houses or those places.

475
00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:40,820
My life with my children and my family
and my pets and everything, living in

476
00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:46,470
a townhome is not suitable for me, I
guess, at this moment in time, but I

477
00:32:46,530 --> 00:32:48,240
absolutely love the townhouses here.

478
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,420
They're so cute and they're so tall.

479
00:32:50,420 --> 00:32:51,560
They're like four stories.

480
00:32:51,570 --> 00:32:53,520
Some of them are balconies on the roof.

481
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:54,770
I just think they're so amazing.

482
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:58,460
So every once in a while,
just for fun, I'll walk past.

483
00:32:58,490 --> 00:33:04,180
those different, you know, cool
aesthetic houses and townhouses.

484
00:33:04,180 --> 00:33:11,800
And I think, what if I were like a
single woman and I was a writer and

485
00:33:11,970 --> 00:33:18,480
I had my office on the very top floor
or my artist studio on the very top

486
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,730
floor of one of these townhouses
and it overlooked the whole valley?

487
00:33:22,730 --> 00:33:27,300
I could see mountains on every side
and all the people who walk by.

488
00:33:27,810 --> 00:33:33,140
and maybe I have a dog or a cat or both.

489
00:33:33,430 --> 00:33:37,770
And once in a while, I take my dog
out for a walk while I'm on my breaks

490
00:33:37,780 --> 00:33:40,300
from writing or from doing art.

491
00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:46,480
And I just live my single
woman lifestyle like that.

492
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,350
It used to bother my husband
so much that I would always

493
00:33:50,350 --> 00:33:52,590
be like, what if we did this?

494
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:53,710
What if we moved here?

495
00:33:53,710 --> 00:33:55,080
What if we lived in that house?

496
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:55,840
What if we did that?

497
00:33:56,590 --> 00:34:00,070
He would be like, why can't you ever
be satisfied with the life you have?

498
00:34:01,650 --> 00:34:02,770
And I really thought about that.

499
00:34:02,770 --> 00:34:06,730
And I thought, that's not really
what it is that makes me do that

500
00:34:06,970 --> 00:34:10,350
because I am very happy and very
grateful for the life I have.

501
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,210
make sure to take a lot of space
and time in being grateful for what

502
00:34:15,210 --> 00:34:16,830
I have and what my life looks like.

503
00:34:18,010 --> 00:34:21,890
But I also take great enjoyment in
the what ifs and the wouldn't it

504
00:34:21,930 --> 00:34:25,330
be lovely if I often play the game.

506
00:34:26,250 --> 00:34:31,550
If I won $50 million in the
lottery right now, what would I do?

507
00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:36,200
How would I take the life I live
right now and change it slightly?

508
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:40,040
Not too much, because I'm
pretty happy with my life.

509
00:34:40,190 --> 00:34:45,040
I'm pretty happy with my house, with
where I live, the friends I've made.

510
00:34:45,220 --> 00:34:48,640
I'm not looking to like change
it up dramatically, but if I won

511
00:34:48,750 --> 00:34:52,330
an amount of money that just made
absolutely anything possible,

512
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:56,700
I love living in that life
for a moment in my mind.

513
00:34:58,330 --> 00:35:04,170
And I think that sometimes people
don't realize the actual physiological

514
00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:09,120
effects that it has on you when you
live in a delusional moment or a

515
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:16,940
delusional life of what if that it
actually can help change neural pathways

516
00:35:17,140 --> 00:35:21,440
to to make you live differently.

517
00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:28,550
to have you make different choices,
to have you say, what if I just lived

518
00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:34,260
as if everything, certain things that
I wanted just already were happening?

519
00:35:35,260 --> 00:35:43,320
And then the more you live in that state
of mind, in that state of pleasure, you

520
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,680
start to see changes in your life happen
towards that thing happening to you.

521
00:35:49,020 --> 00:35:50,430
And it's kind of a magical.

522
00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:51,920
way that it comes about.

523
00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:56,350
So I'm going to leave you with a
little bit of a, of an assignment,

524
00:35:56,420 --> 00:36:01,310
a little bit of homework in just
what if everybody just tries it out?

525
00:36:02,490 --> 00:36:10,660
I'm going to ask you for the next week
to give yourself moments, maybe right

526
00:36:10,660 --> 00:36:20,290
before you're about to fall asleep and
say, what if, or wouldn't it be lovely if

527
00:36:22,210 --> 00:36:27,540
and then imagine an entire scenario
of what your life would look like

528
00:36:27,550 --> 00:36:32,130
if that one thing were different or
that one thing was already yours.

529
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,490
And it can be something very small.

530
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:42,240
It could be like, if I had an e -bike,
I don't have one, but I wish I had one.

531
00:36:42,890 --> 00:36:45,790
And if I did have one,
what would I do with it?

532
00:36:46,490 --> 00:36:47,600
When would I ride it?

533
00:36:47,690 --> 00:36:48,378
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [36:32.794]

534
00:36:48,530 --> 00:36:51,830
Maybe I'd ride it over to the
store or maybe I would take it

535
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:57,230
for ice cream and back again and
something very simple like that.

536
00:36:58,140 --> 00:36:59,890
And just see what happens.

537
00:37:00,420 --> 00:37:05,480
Not that you maybe get the e -bike within
the next week or couple weeks, but what

538
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:12,880
if you notice some changes in you, in how
you feel and how you interact with life?

539
00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:16,300
What if it's a really boring
day at work and you just decide

540
00:37:16,340 --> 00:37:18,360
instead of being at work,

541
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:26,880
I'm going to pretend like I am a
super important executive woman

542
00:37:27,730 --> 00:37:29,980
with a very high paying career.

543
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:35,300
And this is me going about my day
as a very, very important person.

544
00:37:36,510 --> 00:37:39,910
And maybe you work the receptionist
desk at a doctor's office.

545
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:45,050
Not that glamorous, maybe, but
you just live in your mind as

546
00:37:45,050 --> 00:37:46,900
if it is a really glamorous job.

547
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:49,460
Now just notice how you feel.

548
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:56,600
Notice what that kind of delusion
or that kind of slight healthy

549
00:37:56,650 --> 00:38:02,640
dose of disassociation will
do for your entire well -being

550
00:38:03,260 --> 00:38:05,480
mentally, emotionally, physically.

551
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,790
Sometimes when it's about maybe
losing weight or like, I've been

552
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:15,460
packing on some extra pounds, I
really feel uncomfortable in my body.

553
00:38:16,750 --> 00:38:22,690
What if you live in a delusional world
where you are very fit well person

554
00:38:23,350 --> 00:38:27,190
and that your body looks exactly
like you wish that it did look?

555
00:38:28,660 --> 00:38:32,000
Sometimes this part gets me into
trouble because for a while I was

556
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,350
gaining weight because I was actually
living in a delusion that I was much

557
00:38:37,350 --> 00:38:39,190
thinner than I actually was getting.

558
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:41,010
But

559
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,040
Even living in that delusion has helped me
to get back on track because now I can use

560
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:52,120
it to help me eat the way a really healthy
person would instead of eating pretty

561
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,520
much whatever, anything and everything
that I wanted, which was what was kind

562
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:58,780
of getting me into trouble in that.

563
00:38:59,830 --> 00:39:02,110
So that's one that I
have to be careful about.

564
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:06,350
So maybe that's a warning to
you to be careful with that one.

565
00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:10,950
Anyway, I hope that this helps and

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [38:59.209]

567
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,710
Yeah, that's all I have to say about that.

568
00:39:18,170 --> 00:39:22,590
We've pretty much ran the gambit of all
the delusions you can live in your life.

569
00:39:23,290 --> 00:39:28,330
Well, I do want to let you
know that I am finalizing my

570
00:39:28,330 --> 00:39:30,860
class for the full moon course.

571
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,760
The full moon course that I am
offering with Prism Healing,

572
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:37,120
it is starting October 20th.

573
00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:42,380
I am going to be offering
this very special course

574
00:39:42,450 --> 00:39:44,410
and it is going to be a very

575
00:39:44,660 --> 00:39:46,230
very unique opportunity.

576
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:51,050
A lot of times when we do feel stuck in
our lives and we feel like we've, we're

577
00:39:51,070 --> 00:39:55,930
completely lost, we're confused, we're
overwhelmed, we're going through a big

578
00:39:55,940 --> 00:40:01,130
shift or transformation in our lives, it's
really difficult to do that on your own.

579
00:40:01,220 --> 00:40:05,320
It's difficult to see where the light
at the end of the tunnel may be.

580
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:11,760
And so when I do these healing through
art workshops, I created a six month

581
00:40:11,790 --> 00:40:14,400
course where we will have a workshop class

582
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:16,280
around the full moon every month.

583
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:22,710
And the themes will be based on
some Celtic mythologies that I will

584
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:28,990
tell a bit of folklore or story
that goes with the theme of what

585
00:40:28,990 --> 00:40:30,980
we are releasing in that session.

586
00:40:32,190 --> 00:40:36,500
And so starting October 20th, our
first full moon, we're going to do a

587
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:39,090
Healing Through Art class together.

588
00:40:39,620 --> 00:40:41,220
And then you will get

589
00:40:41,570 --> 00:40:45,490
weekly discussions and journal
prompts throughout the month

590
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,620
in our closed online group.

591
00:40:50,060 --> 00:40:54,980
And then we meet again every month around
the full moon to do another release.

592
00:40:54,990 --> 00:41:00,770
So we do another healing through our class
and we we get to work on different belief

593
00:41:00,770 --> 00:41:04,960
systems, different patterns, different
deep healing and witnessing of ourselves.

594
00:41:05,470 --> 00:41:10,470
It's something that I know when I was
in the most desperate states of my

595
00:41:10,770 --> 00:41:15,390
healing journey I would have
very much benefited from.

596
00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:19,390
So I wanted to make sure that
something like this existed or

597
00:41:19,390 --> 00:41:22,190
is offered to clients of mine.

598
00:41:22,630 --> 00:41:25,810
So if you're interested in joining
that full moon course, you can

599
00:41:25,810 --> 00:41:32,630
find it on my website as well
as a blog post for this episode.

600
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:40,680
So my website is prism -healing

website and all of the blog posts that
I make on my website are corresponding

615
00:42:47,980 --> 00:42:51,150
to an episode of practically magic.

616
00:42:51,290 --> 00:42:53,830
So if any of the things that
we've talked about today

617
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,200
interest you and you're thinking,

618
00:42:56,260 --> 00:42:57,090
she's talking about.

619
00:42:57,110 --> 00:42:58,250
I want to know more about that.

620
00:42:58,490 --> 00:43:02,520
You can always message me on any of
those sites and you can look back

621
00:43:02,570 --> 00:43:06,370
at the past episodes that I have
done and recorded that talk about

622
00:43:06,370 --> 00:43:09,270
the real magic and how it works.

623
00:43:09,460 --> 00:43:15,190
So I hope to be able to provide you with
more ways to make your life more magical

624
00:43:15,630 --> 00:43:19,550
and to heal and witness yourself more.

625
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,740
So go make magic and I would like to thank

Share this with somebody who you
think needs a little bit of magic

643
00:44:21,130 --> 00:44:25,280
in their lives and that would help
me to create more episodes for you.

644
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:26,620
Thank you.
