**Title: Navigating Life's Pathways with Intuition: A Deep Dive into the Magical and the Mundane**
**Introduction**
In today's ever-evolving world, where the line between the magical and the mundane steadily blurs, embracing our inner guidance system—our intuition—becomes imperative. The recent episode of the "Practically Magic" podcast, hosted by Courtney Pearl, a Celtic priestess, healer, and spiritual guide, illuminates this concept magnificently. Joined by Rachel Taylor, an intuitive reminder and advocate for soul alignment, they explore the essence of intuition, the practicality of magic in everyday life, and how we can all tap into our innate, often overlooked, spiritual gifts.
**The Essence of Intuition**
Intuition, as discussed by Courtney and Rachel, is not just a buzzword thrown around in spiritual communities but a powerful, intrinsic force that resides within each of us. It's that inner knowing, a guide that leads us through life's complex maze with a sense of clarity and purpose. Both Courtney and Rachel share their journeys of rediscovery, where intuition played a pivotal role in navigating periods of personal upheaval and transformation.
Their conversation demystifies the concept of intuition, breaking down the barriers between the so-called 'gifted' and those who presume they are bereft of such abilities. As Rachel profoundly states, "Intuition is a power within us... it's something that everybody and everyone has the chance to connect with."
**Intuition in Practice: Tools and Tales**
One of the highlights of their discussion revolves around the practical tools and methods to engage with and enhance one’s intuition. Courtney shares a personal anecdote about pulling a tarot card, the Knight of Pentacles, which sparks a rich dialogue on its symbolism and applicability in understanding one's current life phase. This not only showcases the power of intuitive tools like tarot but also illustrates how intuition can present itself in various, often unexpected ways.
Moreover, they delve into folklore, with Courtney narrating the story of Vasilisa, a tale that metaphorically represents intuition as a guiding doll. This story, like many folk tales, serves as a vehicle for understanding the nuances of our intuitive gifts, emphasizing the importance of listening and trusting that small, still voice within.
**Connecting the Dots: Science and Spirituality**
A fascinating aspect of their discussion bridges the gap between science and spirituality, highlighting the universal nature of intuition. They touch upon concepts from internal family systems and neurology, underscoring the scientific underpinnings of intuition and its correlation with the brain's functioning. This intersection of knowledge validates the experience of intuition, offering a grounding perspective for skeptics or those seeking a logical framework.
**Community and Collective Consciousness**
Both Courtney and Rachel underscore the significance of community in nurturing and validating our intuitive experiences. Through building online spaces and engaging in conversations like these, we can foster a collective consciousness that embraces the myriad ways intuition manifests. Rachel's initiative to create an online Soul Alignment Community is a testament to this vision, offering a sanctuary for those wishing to explore and strengthen their intuition.
**Conclusion: A Call to Intuition**
The conversation between Courtney Pearl and Rachel Taylor serves as a beacon for all seeking to understand and harness the power of their intuition. It invites us to shift our perspective, to view intuition not as a rarefied gift for the few but as a common thread that weaves through the tapestry of human experience.
As we step into the future, may we all embrace our intuitive gifts, exploring the magical and the mundane with openness and curiosity. Let us remember that within each of us lies an intuitive guide, ready to illuminate our path if only we dare to listen.

00:00:05,510 --> 00:00:08,080
Courtney Pearl: Hello and
welcome to Practically Magic.
2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,500
This is Courtney Pearl.
3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,080
I'm a pagan folk witch, card
reader, healer, spiritualist,
4
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:16,990
Celtic priestess, teacher,
artist, and mystic, mythic seeker.
5
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:20,040
I have been discovering true
and real magic in the world and
6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,500
I wish to share it with you.
7
00:00:22,330 --> 00:00:24,290
Today I have joining me Rachel Taylor.
8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,280
Say hi.
9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:26,454
Rachel Taylor [00:22.593]
10
00:00:26,454 --> 00:00:27,430
Hi, good to be here.
11
00:00:27,430 --> 00:00:27,990
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [00:24.298]
12
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:32,070
We have a great episode planned for
us today on intuition, both of us, the
13
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:36,550
subject that we both work in our fields
a lot, but I'm gonna start our episode
14
00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:38,590
like we usually do with pulling a card.
15
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:41,460
I'm gonna use a tarot deck.
16
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:45,490
This is the Rider-Waite-Smith, but
this is the gold and black edition.
17
00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:47,990
I'm so sorry that those of
you listening cannot see it.
18
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:52,260
It's just gold foil and it's
gorgeous and beautiful, but it's
19
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:55,370
kind of the original artwork of
tarot, so I love it for that reason.
20
00:00:56,030 --> 00:01:00,190
And I am pulling this card for us today.
21
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:02,708
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [00:59.182]
22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:09,580
And the card that I have is the
Knight of Pentacles, which is
23
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:13,490
incredibly, incredibly intuitive.
24
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:17,460
It's very aligned with what's going on.
25
00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:21,400
We were kind of talking before we
started recording about how it was the
26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,130
dark moon and we're moving kind of in
the season of from pi season to Aries.
27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,250
And I think this card is so.
28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,670
perfect.
29
00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:36,890
Like it's almost just kind of I pull
it out and it's like slapping me in the
30
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:42,430
face with, of course, of course this
is coming up right now because we have
31
00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:47,430
this image of this knight, the knight of
pentacles and he's standing on his horse.
32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,740
His horse is not moving and he's
kind of just like holding his
33
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:55,140
disc, his pentacles, his orb.
34
00:01:55,860 --> 00:02:01,600
He's looking at it and he's almost
just kind of stuck in this spot.
35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,594
Rachel Taylor [01:31.563]
36
00:02:03,594 --> 00:02:03,832
So, I'm going to go ahead
and start the presentation.
37
00:02:03,832 --> 00:02:03,903
presentation of the
38
00:02:03,903 --> 00:02:04,800
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [01:58.294]
39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,650
kind of just contemplating where he's at.
40
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:11,400
And I read the knight part
of the tarot deck as action.
41
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:14,110
So it almost feels like inaction.
42
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:17,940
It almost feels like it's
coming up as, I know I need to
43
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:19,130
move into a different space.
44
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:23,740
I know what's going on or where I'm
at is just not working, but I honestly
45
00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:24,920
just don't know what to do next.
46
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:29,010
I'm just kind of like, bleh, stuck, right?
47
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:31,340
What do you feel like that
card means for you, Rachel?
48
00:02:31,340 --> 00:02:31,459
Rachel Taylor [02:13.614]
49
00:02:31,459 --> 00:02:31,855
So, I'm going to go ahead
and start the presentation.
50
00:02:31,855 --> 00:02:32,171
So, I'm going to start
with the presentation.
51
00:02:32,171 --> 00:02:32,290
Rachel Taylor [02:28.61]
52
00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:40,190
Yeah, I like what you have shared and with
what we're going to be talking about, that
53
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:50,220
how we can feel stuck in our lives but how
leaning into intuition actually gives us
54
00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:56,430
that forward energy of the night, that we
can move forward in a knowing and in power
55
00:02:56,430 --> 00:03:00,030
and feeling like we're on the right path.
56
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:05,300
with this confidence and this
strength and this just, let's go do
57
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:07,290
it because you feel it in your heart.
58
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:14,170
And that's an exciting place to
be, to be stuck, but to know that
59
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:20,330
you have this knowing inside of you
that will guide you to get unstuck.
60
00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:22,320
So yeah, I like that.
61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:22,687
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [03:18.934]
62
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:27,520
That is kind of what the uncomfortable
feeling is of like, it's a little
63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,470
scary, I don't know what to do, or
if I do something, am I gonna mess
64
00:03:31,470 --> 00:03:32,970
it all up worse than it already is?
65
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,210
But just kind of like, I just
know something is not working.
66
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:40,150
Like where I'm at is not it.
67
00:03:40,730 --> 00:03:46,270
So this is like a really crucial
time of like things are gonna start
68
00:03:46,270 --> 00:03:48,890
shifting, things are gonna start
happening, and I'm gonna start
69
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:51,730
like putting things into action.
70
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:51,902
Rachel Taylor [03:30.049]
71
00:03:51,902 --> 00:03:51,960
Yeah.
72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,132
Rachel Taylor [03:48.628]
73
00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:52,190
Right.
74
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:52,592
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [03:48.834]
75
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:53,410
going with it.
76
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:55,850
Even if it's like I don't
even know what I'm doing.
77
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:56,530
Rachel Taylor [03:53.202]
78
00:03:56,980 --> 00:04:05,990
Yeah, and leaning into learning and
how to understand to know that what
79
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:07,500
you're doing is the right thing.
80
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:13,000
Learning how to have that intuition and
actually feeling confident in it and not
81
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,460
feeling like you don't know anymore, but
actually feeling like you know and that
82
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:20,930
you're on your path is so empowering.
83
00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:26,590
So I love the transition even from the
eclipse energy that we've just had of
84
00:04:27,090 --> 00:04:32,080
you know, leaning in and recognizing
maybe some of our old patterns and
85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,030
old energy that's had us stuck and
now leaning into the new energy and
86
00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:41,990
the new light and the confidence of
what we will be becoming and feeling
87
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,010
and leaning into that and trusting it.
88
00:04:45,530 --> 00:04:45,650
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [04:41.444]
89
00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:49,580
Yeah, and trust is a huge, huge part
of that because a lot of people don't
90
00:04:49,610 --> 00:04:54,050
know that they have that intuition,
that they have that ability.
91
00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:57,040
And so I'm really excited to
talk about this today because
92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,710
it is like, that's our jam.
93
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:03,510
This is what we do to help people
is to realize you have it in you.
94
00:05:03,550 --> 00:05:05,732
You do have intuition and can do this.
95
00:05:05,732 --> 00:05:05,740
Rachel Taylor [04:55.72]
96
00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:06,770
Uh huh.

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [05:02.998]
98
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:08,640
So let me introduce you formally.
99
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:17,000
So we're talking to Rachel Taylor, an
intuitive, sorry, an intuitive reminder.
100
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:20,160
Intuitive reminder.
101
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:23,500
Yeah, okay.
102
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:24,980
Okay, I just wanted to make
sure I was saying that right.
103
00:05:24,980 --> 00:05:27,490
Cause I was like, wait, once it was
starting to come out of my mouth.
104
00:05:28,890 --> 00:05:29,520
Is that right?
105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Okay, let me try that again.
106
00:05:31,340 --> 00:05:32,670
So this is Rachel Taylor.
107
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,460
She's an intuitive reminder,
108
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:33,492
Rachel Taylor [05:14.094]
109
00:05:33,492 --> 00:05:33,534
Yes, I'll explain that.
110
00:05:33,534 --> 00:05:33,587
You're like, what is that?
111
00:05:33,587 --> 00:05:33,618
Rachel Taylor [05:23.456]
112
00:05:33,618 --> 00:05:34,410
Enjoy the reminder.
113
00:05:34,410 --> 00:05:34,422
Yep.

00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:38,320
fellow Daybreak mom.
116
00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:42,620
She homeschools four kids,
age 16, 14, 10, and seven.
117
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:47,910
She does her best to walk the paths
of the heart, leading so that her kids
118
00:05:47,910 --> 00:05:49,880
can see it done and follow their own.
119
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:54,090
She's creating her own website and
online Soul Alignment Community, where
120
00:05:54,090 --> 00:05:57,490
people can come together to remember
and strengthen their knowing of who
121
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,450
they are and who they want to become.
122
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,510
She's most happily with her family,
animals, nature, and connecting
123
00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:04,990
with people of all backgrounds.
124
00:06:05,970 --> 00:06:08,570
And so we're gonna talk a little
bit about how you can connect with
125
00:06:08,570 --> 00:06:11,920
Rachel and how you can follow her
as we get to the end of the episode.
126
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,020
So stay tuned for that.
127
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:17,650
We're going to connect you with her and
how you can follow what she's got going
128
00:06:17,650 --> 00:06:24,270
on, which I absolutely am going to do
because I am part of this work as well.
129
00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:26,400
This is like my passion in life.
130
00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:30,560
So we're gonna introduce our subject
for this episode is intuition.
131
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:34,500
So we both use intuition a lot in the
kind of energy work and healing work.
132
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:34,538
Rachel Taylor [06:02.791]
133
00:06:34,538 --> 00:06:34,679
I'm going to go ahead
and turn it over to you.

So, I'm going to go ahead
and turn it over to you.

00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:39,720
And I'm going to introduce this
subject talking about intuition
139
00:06:39,770 --> 00:06:42,300
with a folk story as a folk witch.
140
00:06:42,330 --> 00:06:45,220
That's kind of where I relate
to the world and I like to teach
141
00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:47,580
using folklore and mythology.
142
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,470
And one of my favorite stories about
intuition is the story of Basilisa,
143
00:06:51,570 --> 00:06:58,060
which is a sort of Northern European,
I think it's more like Scandinavian
144
00:06:58,810 --> 00:07:01,810
origination of the story of Cinderella.
145
00:07:02,270 --> 00:07:03,400
And it's
146
00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:07,130
The version that I like is from the
book, Women Who Run With Wolves.
147
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,370
If you haven't read that,
it's an amazing book.
148
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,880
I'll resource that on my blog.
149
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:18,430
But the story is basically that this
young girl, her mom is dying, just like
150
00:07:18,430 --> 00:07:23,170
in Cinderella, but the mom gives her
a doll that's dressed just like her.
151
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,830
And she's like, when I'm not
with you, this is your guide.
152
00:07:27,870 --> 00:07:30,880
You can, this doll will help
you and just keep it with you
153
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,100
and make sure you feed her.
154
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:32,685
Rachel Taylor [07:20.162]
155
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,212
I'm going to go ahead
and turn it over to you.
156
00:07:33,212 --> 00:07:33,407
So, I'm going to go ahead
and turn it over to you.
157
00:07:33,407 --> 00:07:33,440
So, I'm
158
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:33,554
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [07:29.79]
159
00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:35,400
So she keeps the doll in her pocket.
160
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,930
And of course her dad remarries.
161
00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:41,650
And so there's an evil stepsisters
and stepmom situation who are mean to
162
00:07:41,650 --> 00:07:43,240
her and make her do all the chores.
163
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,700
And all the while as she's growing
up, she's got her little doll and
164
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:48,830
she feeds it scraps from her dinner.
165
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,290
And when it comes time for her
to, the stepmother and stepsisters
166
00:07:55,290 --> 00:07:57,340
are like, we have to get rid of
this girl, we don't like her.
167
00:07:57,790 --> 00:08:01,225
And they purposely blow
out the fire so that it's.
168
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:04,650
there's no fire in the hearth and
they're like, you have to go out
169
00:08:04,690 --> 00:08:06,850
and into the woods and get us fire.
170
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:08,810
And you've got to go to Baba Yaga's house.
171
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,210
And Baba Yaga is this,
you know, folklore witch.
172
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:16,910
She's well known in those parts
of the world where she's like
173
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:18,470
the witch who lives in the woods.
174
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,140
Everyone's scared of her.
175
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:27,150
She lives in a house on chicken
legs and surrounded by the skulls of
176
00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:29,010
children or, you know, some such thing.
177
00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:29,165
Rachel Taylor [08:22.088]
178
00:08:29,165 --> 00:08:29,735
and I'm going to be talking
about the importance of the
179
00:08:29,735 --> 00:08:30,098
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [08:26.47]
180
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:33,300
And Vasilisa has to go
to Baba Yaga to get fire.
181
00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:38,970
And throughout the story, each time
she's faced with a decision to make
182
00:08:39,020 --> 00:08:44,940
or where to go on her path, the little
doll in her pocket jumps up and down.
183
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:49,040
Like if she's supposed to go a certain
direction or if she's supposed to ask
184
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,130
Baba Yaga some questions, but then
the doll starts jumping and she holds
185
00:08:53,150 --> 00:08:54,520
back and doesn't ask the questions.
186
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:56,370
And then she's always rewarded for that.
187
00:08:56,950 --> 00:09:01,020
So whatever choice she makes, the doll
is helping her through the whole story.
188
00:09:01,690 --> 00:09:05,090
And at the end, she gets fire
from Baba Yaga, but she gets it
189
00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:09,200
in the form of a, it's like a
skull on a stick that's a flame.
190
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,780
And then the skull ends up being the
one that like helps her at the end
191
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:17,430
and burns her mother and stepsister.
192
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:20,230
They turn to ash because of the skull.
193
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:25,430
So it's almost like childlike
intuition, kind of the symbol of that.
194
00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:25,456
Rachel Taylor [08:58.522]
195
00:09:25,456 --> 00:09:25,524
I'm going to turn it over to you.
196
00:09:25,524 --> 00:09:25,601
So I'm going to turn it over to you.
197
00:09:25,601 --> 00:09:25,661
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [09:21.87]
198
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:30,130
turning into adult intuition as it
becomes the skull that's a flame.
199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,910
And you can interpret that story in
a lot of different ways, but the idea
200
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:42,060
that we have something within us that
guides us and is our own personal
201
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:45,950
guiding light to the choices that we
make in our lives is sort of the subject
202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,530
that we're bringing forward today.
203
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,710
And so if you want to hear more about
that story, I'll reference that.
204
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:58,390
in my blog and where you can find
that story to read the whole thing.
205
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,800
But let me ask you, what does
intuition mean to you, Rachel?
206
00:10:04,670 --> 00:10:05,030
Rachel Taylor [10:01.456]
207
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:10,710
To me, intuition is a guide.
208
00:10:11,260 --> 00:10:12,640
Okay, let's start big.
209
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:17,160
Intuition is a power.
210
00:10:17,290 --> 00:10:17,900
It is...
211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,750
what I've come to believe as God.
212
00:10:23,380 --> 00:10:27,580
Most people believe in some
kind of a higher power and this
213
00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:29,040
higher power has different names.
214
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:34,750
Some call this higher power God, some
people call it the universe, source.
215
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,670
I've come to relate with and call it love.
216
00:10:40,210 --> 00:10:46,280
And this power exists with
every living thing on our...
217
00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:49,550
earth and within human beings as well.
218
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:57,280
And intuition is that power
within us and it's within us.
219
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,910
And so it's this power of all that is.
220
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,410
It has all the answers.
221
00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:05,960
It has all of the growth.
222
00:11:05,970 --> 00:11:07,340
It has all of the light.
223
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,820
And it's something that everybody and
everyone has the chance to connect with.
224
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:22,850
I love the word intuition itself because
we have the choice in our lives to become
225
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,020
into it and to experience into it more.
226
00:11:27,170 --> 00:11:33,650
If we don't have the desire or the
willingness to get into it, then
227
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:38,050
our whole lives we go out of it.
228
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:38,860
We're out of it.
229
00:11:38,910 --> 00:11:41,820
We don't have the guidance assisting us.
230
00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:43,580
We kind of go out of it.
231
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:51,440
alone without this light, without
this all-knowing energy and power
232
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,390
that can guide us and help us remember
who we are fully in this life.

Ride The Wave Media

234
00:11:56,947 --> 00:11:59,570
I love that you said that,
reminding us of who we are.
235
00:12:00,190 --> 00:12:04,940
Because I think that that's, I mean,
to walk around doing life and just kind
236
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:10,550
of doing day-to-day things, it's not
that that's, you know, a terrible way
237
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:16,010
to live, but when you come up against
something that takes you outside
238
00:12:16,010 --> 00:12:20,800
yourself and makes you feel like you're
completely on your own or that you're
239
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,680
like, you know, now, and I call them,

241
00:12:23,732 --> 00:12:23,750
Mm-hmm.

Ride The Wave Media

243
00:12:23,890 --> 00:12:24,590
invitations.
244
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:27,750
Like they're little invitations in
life that go, oh my gosh, everything
245
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:29,530
I thought I knew just fell apart.
246
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,490
And we all experienced that.
247
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:36,170
But without kind of building
a relationship with intuition,
248
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:41,800
you do feel completely alone or
completely without any guidance.
249
00:12:41,950 --> 00:12:46,620
And it's kind of like reminding
you that you aren't alone, right?
250
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:46,905
Rachel Taylor [12:29.936]
251
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,020
Yeah.
252
00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:48,040
Rachel Taylor [12:42.529]
253
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,060
You're missing.

Rachel Taylor [12:46.998]
255
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,850
it's reminding you who you are.
256
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:58,210
And I guess when you read my definition
of what I do, I'm a reminder, I help
257
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:00,940
people remember that part of themselves.
258
00:13:00,950 --> 00:13:07,510
When I first started working with
people one-on-one, my first client
259
00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:11,250
that I had said, oh, I'm so grateful
to be doing therapy with you.
260
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:14,050
And the minute that word was
said, it didn't feel right.
261
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:16,530

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [12:48.974]
263
00:13:16,658 --> 00:13:16,677
Mm-hmm.
264
00:13:16,677 --> 00:13:16,732
Rachel Taylor [13:15.846]
265
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:20,170
what we're really gonna do
here is remember who you are.
266
00:13:20,770 --> 00:13:26,690
And so we said that we had these
remembering sessions where we would
267
00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:31,590
come together, we would center
ourselves, and we'd align with that
268
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,250
love within us, that power of all
that is, that exists within everyone.
269
00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:38,870
We would align ourselves together.
270
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:42,870
And in that moment, that's when
all of the magic and all of the
271
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:45,010
answers and all of the questioning.
272
00:13:45,830 --> 00:13:51,400
starts to receive the answers
that you've been looking for.
273
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,170
So like you said just earlier, it is.
274
00:13:55,300 --> 00:14:00,540
Is that into, when we get into it, that's
when we start to remember who we are.
275
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:06,480
And that's when we start to become
who we wanna be because that part is
276
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,790
inside us, but it's hidden within us.
277
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:13,860
And we have to be willing to seek it
out and willing to take time to listen.

Ride The Wave Media

I love that.
280
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:21,540
And you bring up such a good
point as far as what we do, like
281
00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:23,550
our vocation or our practice.
282
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:29,960
I often struggle with telling people
what I am or finding the right words
283
00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:37,530
to say what I do because, and I chose
to call myself a healer, but I say
284
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:41,860
that knowing full well that what I'm
doing isn't actually healing anyone.
285
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:46,610
All I'm doing is helping them remember
that they can heal themselves or
286
00:14:46,610 --> 00:14:50,680
that like reaching into themselves
and finding that part that connects.
287
00:14:51,310 --> 00:14:54,140
And it is it's a remembering.
288
00:14:54,150 --> 00:15:02,910
It's a yeah, it's almost like
yes, I'm waking up and I still
289
00:15:02,910 --> 00:15:04,220
struggle to find the right words.
290
00:15:04,220 --> 00:15:06,870
Like what do I put on my business
cards or what is it that I
291
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:10,230
actually when I talk to people and
they're like, oh, what do you do?
292
00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:11,840
I'm like, ah.

long to this podcast because I'm

299
00:15:24,910 --> 00:15:29,520
because I feel like everything I
do is in service as a priestess.
300
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:34,630
Priestessing is a service, it's
an action, it's not a title or an
301
00:15:34,630 --> 00:15:37,800
authority of any kind, at least
in the way that I define it.
302
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,630
So I'm like...
303
00:15:38,630 --> 00:15:39,810
Rachel Taylor [15:20.306]
304
00:15:39,810 --> 00:15:39,893
Okay.

306
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,060
Yeah, I mean, I'm just helping
people with their connection more
307
00:15:46,060 --> 00:15:52,490
so than actually doing any healing
and what we work on personally in
308
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:58,260
connecting with our intuition in
helping other people to do that.
309
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:04,300
So now, you know, your introduction as I
like stumbled on, call it, you know, what?
310
00:16:04,330 --> 00:16:04,660
Okay.
311
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,560
Intuition Reminder.
312
00:16:05,950 --> 00:16:06,890
Wait, was that right?
313
00:16:07,270 --> 00:16:10,410
Now I'm like, oh, of course,
of course that makes sense.
314
00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:12,230
I see it so clearly now.
315
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:15,290
I don't know why I didn't stop
to think about that before.
316
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:16,910
I read it.
317
00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:17,710
It makes so much sense.
318
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:18,422
Rachel Taylor [16:17.532]
319
00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:20,210
Yeah, it makes sense.

321
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,640
So tell me a little bit about your
own personal journey in coming
322
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,830
to a relationship with intuition.
323
00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:31,350
If you had, you know, to say, do you
always feel like you were always connected
324
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:35,620
to intuition and now this is what you do,
or was there like a coming to it for you?
325
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:35,935
Rachel Taylor [16:26.203]
326
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,100
Thank you.
327
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:36,820
Rachel Taylor [16:35.982]
328
00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:43,430
So I grew up very religious and always
feeling very connected to a higher power.
329
00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:49,160
And for me, growing up was
believing in God and having a
330
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,770
specific plan and specific rules
and specific guidelines for me.
331
00:16:52,770 --> 00:16:58,760
And I felt very secure, very fulfilled,
very happy in growing up this way.
332
00:16:59,230 --> 00:17:03,980
And I felt guided and
would follow my intuition.
333
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:04,850
And I felt...
334
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,590
a lot of joy in living that way.
335
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:16,820
And then probably about 10 years ago,
I wound up having experiences where
336
00:17:16,950 --> 00:17:21,240
I knew it was time for me to part
from my religion that I grew up with.
337
00:17:22,050 --> 00:17:28,630
And when I did that, it disconnected
me from my intuition because the way
338
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:33,270
that I had grown up to learn how to
connect to God that I didn't even know.
339
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:37,450
I didn't even know if I could
believe in a higher power anymore.
340
00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:42,380
All of the sudden I was left
with the question of, well, what
341
00:17:42,510 --> 00:17:46,630
actually is there to hang on to
and is there anything at all?
342
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:55,310
And in that moment, the answer beat
so strongly from my intuition, from my
343
00:17:55,310 --> 00:17:59,150
heart, yes, you can hold on to love.
344
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,300
And in that dark moment...
345
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:05,640
I had the light and the strength
of love, and I didn't know
346
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,920
what that meant right then.
347
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,830
I just knew that there was
something bigger to hold onto.
348
00:18:11,230 --> 00:18:17,680
And for 10 years since then, I have been
holding onto love and growing with love
349
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:25,340
and seeing things in a bigger way and
allowing myself to believe, allowing
350
00:18:25,340 --> 00:18:29,830
myself to be willing to grow and...
351
00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:41,960
and believe without seeing yet, and
letting myself see after believing, I have
352
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:54,010
become more and more amazed at the power
of the universe of God, whatever you wanna
353
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,250
call it, that does exist, and when we
allow it to come into our lives, that...
354
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,220
Rachel Taylor [18:58.842]
355
00:19:00,220 --> 00:19:02,250
It's not for just one religion.
356
00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:10,090
It's not for one faith, but that this
intuition comes to us and speaks to us all
357
00:19:10,090 --> 00:19:15,440
the time in the way that we'll understand
and the way that will serve us most in
358
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,240
our lives at the point that we're at.
359
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:26,510
And it's made me so open to seeing
and hearing things in new ways.
360
00:19:26,910 --> 00:19:29,570
and appreciating people for
where they're at and the way they
361
00:19:29,570 --> 00:19:31,030
see things and receive things.
362
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:34,800
So intuition is a personal thing.
363
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:39,730
It's not something that I or
Courtney could say to you, oh, well,
364
00:19:39,730 --> 00:19:41,270
you're gonna see it just like this.
365
00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:49,750
No, because you, once you get into it,
once you are intuitive and willing to
366
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,030
see, you're gonna see it in exactly
the way that makes sense to you.
367
00:19:53,530 --> 00:19:56,380
And that was the thing
that blew my mind after.
368
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:01,133
you know, being religious and having my
intuition in a specific way that happened
369
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:05,220
to happen like this, then it was a word
like this that it meant if you were, you
370
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:09,420
know, having intuition, then you were that
was because this was happening to you.
371
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:13,900
No, now it's like, oh, it's personal.
372
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,000
It's something I get to experience
in my own way and something that
373
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,660
you get to experience in your way.
374
00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:25,610
And it's so just mind-blowingly
beautiful and expansive.

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [20:26.373]
376
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:28,590
Yes, and that.
377
00:20:28,970 --> 00:20:33,970
does kind of congruently go along with
some of my faith journey and how I
378
00:20:35,020 --> 00:20:40,500
came to understand source or how I came
to understand what was right for me.
379
00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:45,220
I have many friends who are
still very religious in a more
380
00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:47,010
fundamentalist structured way.
381
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:53,760
I completely and totally understand
the draw to that, where it feels safe.
382
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,410
It feels like there's...
383
00:20:56,990 --> 00:21:02,660
the structure, the rules, the
certainty, that feels great.
384
00:21:02,810 --> 00:21:04,510
I totally understand that.
385
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:10,510
And for me, looking into kind of Gnostic
Christianity, looking into some of the
386
00:21:10,510 --> 00:21:15,590
Gnostic gospels and some of the teachings
of Jesus before it was kind of taken
387
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:22,680
out of the Bible, and that it was a
lot of like telling people to find the
388
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,750
God within, find the new, the voice,
389
00:21:26,980 --> 00:21:33,630
the place between body, mind and soul,
where you connect and understanding
390
00:21:33,630 --> 00:21:39,750
that there isn't really anyone, anyone
that can come between you and that.
391
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:42,440
That like nobody tells
you what is right for you.
392
00:21:42,450 --> 00:21:42,960
You.
393
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,102

394
00:21:43,150 --> 00:21:43,170
Yeah.
395
00:21:43,570 --> 00:21:43,780
Yes.
396
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:44,750
And so empowering.

398
00:21:45,819 --> 00:21:45,822
Right?
399
00:21:45,822 --> 00:21:48,040
Yeah, it's within you, right?
400
00:21:48,490 --> 00:21:52,690
So for me, that was kind of my journey
in being like, well, it's not that I
401
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:57,330
am turning my back on all of this and
saying that's not true, but just saying,
402
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:04,800
this is feeling true to me and how I can
connect and wanting to empower people to
403
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,420
understand that within themselves, whether
they do it in a fundamentalist religion or
404
00:22:08,420 --> 00:22:11,020
not, doesn't really matter, but just that,
405
00:22:13,710 --> 00:22:16,398
you know, connecting with your intuition
is connecting with you and love.
406
00:22:16,398 --> 00:22:16,467
Rachel Taylor [22:16.57]
407
00:22:16,490 --> 00:22:16,650
Yes.
408
00:22:19,930 --> 00:22:24,340
And when we do it, oh my gosh,
like we become our best selves
409
00:22:24,370 --> 00:22:30,340
and we start to feel our path and
move away from the confusion that
410
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:35,695
we've had and it's, oh, it's so
empowering and I love what you said.
411
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,200
It is.
412
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,250
It's in with within each of
us and it's our choice and our
413
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:43,670
willingness to put our doubts aside.
414
00:22:43,670 --> 00:22:45,850
Like we come into the
earth, we come into this
415
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:53,370
earth children who imagine and play and
like we explore and we believe and the sky
416
00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:56,920
is the limit and then we reach a certain
age and kids are getting younger and
417
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,240
younger where they're like well I'm too
old to play with Barbies and I'm too old.
418
00:22:59,790 --> 00:23:07,140
We lose that somewhere and when we
open that back up within us the sky
419
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:15,200
is the limit because all of the sudden
we have this all power universe love.
420
00:23:15,290 --> 00:23:20,520
guiding and helping us in a bigger way
than we could ever imagine on our own.
421
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,860
And it's within each of us
to connect to individually.

Ride The Wave Media

423
00:23:25,184 --> 00:23:25,202
Yeah.
424
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:27,700
And we did mention the word trust earlier.
425
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:32,170
And my personal experience with that and
kind of connecting with my intuition is
426
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,920
when I was going through a really, really
difficult time and it was my dark night
427
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:44,030
of the soul, as some people might call
it, my invitation to other things, was
428
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:46,510
like things were going on with my husband.
429
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:47,060
My husband,
430
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,470
struggled with addiction and I
was struggling with codependency
431
00:23:51,490 --> 00:23:52,760
within that relationship.
432
00:23:52,810 --> 00:23:54,980
And it was, you know,
all that stuff going on.
433
00:23:55,580 --> 00:24:02,900
And I remember just constantly waking
up, like three in the morning with
434
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:09,140
these voices in my mind, you know,
just like this is what's going on.
435
00:24:09,910 --> 00:24:14,680
And it was kind of stressful,
but also when things happened
436
00:24:14,690 --> 00:24:15,840
the way that they happened.

442
00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:20,320
I felt incredibly validated in that
a lot of the feelings I was having,
443
00:24:20,330 --> 00:24:24,560
even though I had no physical proof
of it, were actually happening.
444
00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:28,170
And it was very validating to me.
445
00:24:28,170 --> 00:24:32,240
It was very much like, I
knew this was going on.
446
00:24:32,250 --> 00:24:37,450
I knew it and I don't know how I
knew it and I should have trusted
447
00:24:37,450 --> 00:24:42,110
myself because in doubting or in
having someone else be like, you're
448
00:24:42,110 --> 00:24:43,911
just, that's just your anxiety.

anxious or whatever.
456
00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:50,900
But I think it was really important for
me to experience that and then to also
457
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:57,160
kind of get a clear idea of what is
anxiety and what is intuition, right?
458
00:24:57,220 --> 00:24:59,290
Like separating out the things.

Because I feel like one is like fear-based
and low vibe kind of, you know, I'm
460
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:08,180
just worried about what will happen.
461
00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:11,440
I'm trying to control
what's going to happen.
462
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:19,450
my control uncertainty around it
when I feel like anxiety is the lie
463
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,140
that your body tells you that says
I'm going to control the situation
464
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:24,660
that I actually have no control over.
465
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:30,380
Whereas intuition was this other thing
where it was based in love and it was
466
00:25:30,490 --> 00:25:37,610
like you know what's going on and you
feel it and you know it and just the
467
00:25:37,610 --> 00:25:41,590
knowing in it is peaceful and it's um
468
00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:42,253
Rachel Taylor [25:24.746]
469
00:25:42,253 --> 00:25:42,255
Yeah.
470
00:25:42,255 --> 00:25:42,271
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [25:41.054]
471
00:25:42,271 --> 00:25:42,860
It's a knowing.
472
00:25:43,770 --> 00:25:46,830
It's the simplest form
that I can explain it.
473
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:50,710
But for anybody who's like, is that
my anxiety or is that my intuition?
474
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,260
It might be both, but it might.
475
00:25:53,740 --> 00:25:58,230
But just knowing where you are
in it is a really important piece
476
00:25:58,630 --> 00:26:02,430
that I feel like living in anxiety
because thinking the anxiety is
477
00:26:02,430 --> 00:26:04,940
going to help is kind of the lie.
478
00:26:05,650 --> 00:26:08,830
Whereas living with intuition and knowing.
479
00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:12,310
this is what's going on and this is what
I'm gonna do about it and this is how
480
00:26:12,350 --> 00:26:16,580
I can exist within it and move forward.
481
00:26:17,060 --> 00:26:17,315
Rachel Taylor [26:16.39]
482
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,180
I love that.
483
00:26:18,190 --> 00:26:24,850
I have a filter that I run my
thoughts through and it ties perfectly
484
00:26:24,850 --> 00:26:26,690
with what you're talking about.
485
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,160
And that is a filter.
486
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,400
I said the way that I relate
most to my intuition is love.
487
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,320
And it's not the love of Hollywood where
love needs and love has to have this and
488
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:38,970
if you don't have love you're heartbroken.
489
00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:39,250
No.
490
00:26:39,710 --> 00:26:40,660
Love is
491
00:26:41,020 --> 00:26:43,090
an all expansive energy.
492
00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:49,370
It grows, it becomes, it's
not afraid, it expands.
493
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:53,910
And so when you have this kind of
love that exists within your soul,
494
00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:57,410
the filter that I use is love.
495
00:26:57,770 --> 00:26:58,800
Love versus fear.
496
00:26:58,820 --> 00:27:03,470
Every thought that we have stems
from one of those energies.
497
00:27:03,930 --> 00:27:09,060
And we can recognize which energy
it comes from by seeing how we feel.
498
00:27:10,260 --> 00:27:14,670
Fear feels, it makes you want to shrink.
499
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:16,010
It makes you want to close up.
500
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,920
It makes you want to get small.
501
00:27:18,010 --> 00:27:19,390
It makes you want to hide.
502
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,620
It makes you want to be safe.
503
00:27:21,660 --> 00:27:24,120
It makes you want to control
like you talked about.
504
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:30,220
And if you feel that contraction
fear, then you know, okay,
505
00:27:30,220 --> 00:27:31,450
that thought was from fear.
506
00:27:31,670 --> 00:27:33,190
That's not your intuition.
507
00:27:33,260 --> 00:27:37,040
When you put it through the filter and
you say, okay, this thought, does it make
508
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,100
me feel like growing, expanding, sharing?
509
00:27:40,220 --> 00:27:46,450
becoming, not hiding, does it feel
abundant, does it feel like I'm going
510
00:27:46,510 --> 00:27:55,400
to become, that's your green light
for intuition, because that is the
511
00:27:55,410 --> 00:28:00,000
energy of the universe, and that is
the energy of love, and that's who you
512
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,520
are at your core, that is who you are.
513
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:06,960
And when you feel those
feelings in your thoughts,
514
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,660
Those are the feelings that are
leading you forward on your path.
515
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:15,740
Those are the feelings if you
lean into them, if you trust them.
516
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,950
It may be scary still, but
it's a different kind of scary.
517
00:28:20,180 --> 00:28:24,890
It's like, oh my gosh, I'm going to
step onto this and this is a really
518
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:26,320
scary, like you doing a podcast.
519
00:28:26,390 --> 00:28:28,770
It's not easy to do a podcast, right?
520
00:28:28,770 --> 00:28:33,130
But you're leaning into this because
your heart is screaming, this is my
521
00:28:33,130 --> 00:28:35,770
path, this makes me happy, this makes me.

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [28:27.168]
523
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:36,386
I'm going to go ahead and turn it off.
524
00:28:36,386 --> 00:28:36,501
Rachel Taylor [28:35.422]
525
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:38,290
like this is what I am called to do.
526
00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:44,020
You lean into that because you feel
expansive, you're growing, you're
527
00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:48,820
seeing other people grow, you feel
vibrant, that is your intuition.
528
00:28:48,830 --> 00:28:53,420
And so everything that I do, even
like I will, I'll say something to
529
00:28:53,420 --> 00:28:55,580
my kids, they'll say, can I do this?
530
00:28:55,580 --> 00:28:56,490
And I'll be like, no, you can't.
531
00:28:56,490 --> 00:29:00,080
And I'm like, oh, well, okay,
that felt really contracted.
532
00:29:00,610 --> 00:29:02,970
And I've learned to give my
children a lot more freedom.
533
00:29:02,980 --> 00:29:05,280
So I'm like, I want a parent in love.
534
00:29:05,770 --> 00:29:06,580
not in fear.
535
00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:11,780
I controlled my children way too much
before I learned how to be intuitive.
536
00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:19,240
And I am not afraid to admit it that I
put a lot of pain on them and did a lot of
537
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,320
things that I regret as an early parent.
538
00:29:22,130 --> 00:29:26,580
And I'm still learning but I'm
becoming so good at loving them.
539
00:29:26,860 --> 00:29:33,160
And I can't tell you how good it makes
me feel because not only do I allow
540
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,490
them to be free, they're learning

sweethearts, like I never learned.

And I am so grateful to give
that gift to my children.
546
00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:44,030
So that is the filter.
547
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:47,430
It is a tool that will serve you if you
will remember to look at your thoughts
548
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,110
and filter them through love or fear.

551
00:29:50,670 --> 00:29:54,180
Yes, and I'm not agreeing
with you because you're saying
552
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,520
about the mistakes you've made.
553
00:29:55,530 --> 00:30:00,610
I'm agreeing with you in that I absolutely
100% struggle with that every single day.
554
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:06,890
Like for me, looking back and going,
gosh, I, you know, changing my own
555
00:30:06,890 --> 00:30:08,620
patterns of wanting to control.
556
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,950
That's my I've mentioned many
times on this podcast already.
557
00:30:11,950 --> 00:30:16,570
Like that's my one my kind of personal
journey is like I just feel like love
558
00:30:16,570 --> 00:30:18,490
is control and I just go to that.
559
00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:19,620
And that's my pattern.

00:30:19,630 --> 00:30:20,380

00:30:20,380 --> 00:30:20,609

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [30:20.158]
563
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:25,010
And I want to bring in because this
podcast is called Practically Magic
564
00:30:25,010 --> 00:30:29,810
because all of this seems so magical and
fantastical and yet it's really practical.
565
00:30:29,810 --> 00:30:34,630
It's really real in our lives and
we can use this and it's powerful.
566
00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:40,780
And for some people listening who are
maybe more logical, need more science,
567
00:30:40,790 --> 00:30:46,820
there is a lot in like internal family
systems talking about going into
568
00:30:46,820 --> 00:30:49,030
the self and understanding the self.
569
00:30:49,030 --> 00:30:49,044
Rachel Taylor [30:22.438]
570
00:30:49,044 --> 00:30:49,086
So, we're going to start
with the first question.
571
00:30:49,086 --> 00:30:49,147
So, the first question is, what
is the most important thing to do
572
00:30:49,147 --> 00:30:49,185
to get the best out of your life?
573
00:30:49,185 --> 00:30:49,260
What is the most important thing to
do to get the best out of your life?
574
00:30:49,260 --> 00:30:49,321
So, the first question is, what
is the most important thing to do
575
00:30:49,321 --> 00:30:49,359
to get the best out of your life?
576
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:49,434
What is the most important thing to
do to get the best out of your life?
577
00:30:49,434 --> 00:30:49,495
So, the first question is, what
is the most important thing to do
578
00:30:49,495 --> 00:30:49,532
to get the best out of your life?

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [30:48.61]
580
00:30:49,570 --> 00:30:56,120
And what the true self is calm,
confident, creative, curious.
581
00:30:56,820 --> 00:30:58,710
Like those are the C's of the self.
582
00:30:58,820 --> 00:31:02,760
And when I've been learning about
that, it's like, well, that's a lot of
583
00:31:02,830 --> 00:31:04,240
the same things we're talking about.
584
00:31:04,470 --> 00:31:09,890
Even when we talk about it in a spiritual
sense, we are using the same data that
585
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:16,150
neuroscientists and neurologists are
using to understand the brain and how
586
00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:18,470
the brain comes into a rest and digest.
587
00:31:19,070 --> 00:31:22,320
and how we engage the parasympathetic
autonomic nervous system.
588
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,100
And I'm mentioning that because
I think that could be a whole
589
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:29,160
other podcast episode that we
can get into at another time.
590
00:31:29,650 --> 00:31:33,650
But just so people understand that
it's not just in a spiritual sense
591
00:31:33,660 --> 00:31:37,000
that we're talking about, that all of
this is backed by science and research
592
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,160
too, in the physical sense, right?
593
00:31:40,570 --> 00:31:40,630
So, very.
594
00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:40,782
Rachel Taylor [31:40.219]
595
00:31:40,782 --> 00:31:40,883
It is.
596
00:31:40,883 --> 00:31:41,137
It's all the same message.
597
00:31:41,137 --> 00:31:50,770

spirituality, the more you see that

Rachel Taylor [31:49.99]
601
00:31:51,030 --> 00:31:53,980
It really is everything.
602
00:31:54,450 --> 00:32:02,450
And the more willingness you say, I'm
willing to see, the more you become aware
603
00:32:02,450 --> 00:32:05,420
that it really is all inside of you.
604
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:10,460
And if you get quiet, and you do have to
get quiet, if you look at yourself, if
605
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:15,450
you wake up, if you become aware of your
patterns, of the things that are bringing
606
00:32:15,450 --> 00:32:20,290
you pain, and if you stop and you look
and you say, is this love or is this fear?
607
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,220
Like you solve your problems.
608
00:32:23,690 --> 00:32:28,350
And there are all, yes, the scientists
and the researchers have all
609
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,080
researched it and it is all backed up.
610
00:32:31,210 --> 00:32:35,140
But the step is so much shorter
if you just turn inward.
611
00:32:35,510 --> 00:32:42,270
You can heal yourself so quickly if you
are willing to turn inward and find your
612
00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:44,370
answers because they're there waiting.

Yeah, yeah.
615
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:51,600
And just starting with a willingness
to open up a willingness, which
616
00:32:51,850 --> 00:32:55,910
I mean, some people have to wait
for those really difficult moments
617
00:32:55,910 --> 00:32:57,810
in life that invite you to do it.
618
00:32:58,420 --> 00:33:03,960
Or you can just say, you know, before
that happens, before I'm in total
619
00:33:04,910 --> 00:33:10,010
crisis, I want to start working and
I want to start looking inward and I
620
00:33:10,010 --> 00:33:12,310

624
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:17,840
connect with my intuition and to
help me turn to love and to help
625
00:33:17,850 --> 00:33:22,130
me flip the switch into a rest
and digest state of mind rather
626
00:33:22,130 --> 00:33:25,050
than in fight, flight or freeze.
627
00:33:25,340 --> 00:33:30,610
And what part of me goes to that is
addicted to that part that wants to
628
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:36,550
keep going to that instead of going into
love, going into that rest, going into
629
00:33:36,550 --> 00:33:40,960
the self and calm and inward looking.
630
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,110
So it's just a seeking.
631

634
00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:47,740
Those of you listening that are just the
seekers, that's what I call myself, mythic
635
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,960
and mystic seeker, is just I'm seeking
those answers and seeking those tools to
636
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:59,090
help me and hopefully in turn, put it out
into the world where people can use that.
637
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,700
So the filter is a really great tool.
638
00:34:01,730 --> 00:34:07,380
I think that's a really great step in
being able to just take that opportunity.
639
00:34:07,970 --> 00:34:10,940
What am I filtering in as you go?
640

thought or a fear thought?

00:34:14,390 --> 00:34:16,740
That is life changing.
643
00:34:16,750 --> 00:34:26,050
You know, when I was prepared, just
kind of thinking about intuition
644
00:34:26,050 --> 00:34:30,140
coming into this, over and over I
just kept thinking, get into it.
645
00:34:30,490 --> 00:34:33,070
And I just kept thinking,
get into it, get into it.
646
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:34,290
Just get into it.
647
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:35,690
Stop holding yourself back.
648
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,380
Intuition, just get into it.

Just get into it.

Just take a leap of faith and get into it.

00:34:50,370 --> 00:34:56,540
And your life will change because when
you are out of it, you are on your own.

Mm-hmm, perfect.
668
00:35:27,380 --> 00:35:32,160
And I usually do a question from a
listener towards the end when we're
669
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,730
getting ready to wrap up, but I feel
like we've kind of addressed this
670
00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:40,190
question a little bit, so I'm just
going to see if there's anything
671
00:35:40,190 --> 00:35:41,385
else that we need to say about this.
672
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:46,800
But I have, some people ask, as
far as like intuition or gifts,
673
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,140
spiritual gifts of any kind, there's
sort of a question as to whether
674
00:35:50,140 --> 00:35:52,920
or not people are born with a gift,
675
00:35:52,920 --> 00:36:02,040
are very connected to spirit, connected
to a medium or very intuitive or empathic.
676
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:07,380
So like having those natural
gifts and they're like, oh, I've
677
00:36:07,380 --> 00:36:08,760
always had it since I was a child.
678
00:36:09,370 --> 00:36:12,010
And then there were people who
were wondering, well, is that
679
00:36:12,010 --> 00:36:13,620
something you can cultivate?
680
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:19,158
Do we all have the potential to be
intuitive and to use those gifts?
681
00:36:19,158 --> 00:36:20,650
Rachel Taylor [36:02.261]
682
00:36:20,650 --> 00:36:20,718

What are your thoughts on that?
685
00:36:22,410 --> 00:36:27,140
If it's like you're born with it, you have
this special gift, you're very special,
686
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,390
or is it like you can you can learn it?
687
00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:32,587
Rachel Taylor [36:30.418]
688
00:36:32,587 --> 00:36:32,613
Definitely.
689
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,750
We are born with a gift.
690
00:36:35,180 --> 00:36:36,730
That gift is unique.
691
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:41,870
You are spiritual in a
different way than I am.
692
00:36:42,330 --> 00:36:44,800
I am spiritual in a
different way than you are.
693
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,250
And the way that we arrive
to that gift within us.
694
00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:55,970
is by walking down a path
of what brings us joy.
695
00:36:57,690 --> 00:37:02,280
When you are happy doing what
you're doing, that is your gift.
696
00:37:03,550 --> 00:37:09,260
And you pay attention, like those moments
that you're happy, that is your path, your
697
00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:11,420
gift, and that's what you lean into more.

722
00:38:03,060 --> 00:38:07,310
I mean, when someone is following
their path, when they're on their
723
00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:12,220
whatever that is that eternal path and
journey that they're on, when they're
724
00:38:12,220 --> 00:38:17,100
following it and aligning with it,
that isn't just a personal effect.
725

Like, it doesn't just
affect them personally.

and every out into the world.

00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,720
Even if it's not something that's
seemingly spiritual, like you said,
735
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:39,990
like baseball or cells or whatever
it is, I truly believe that there
736
00:38:40,010 --> 00:38:44,540
is an impact that goes further and
more beyond than just themselves.
737
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:45,260
Rachel Taylor [38:37.535]
738
00:38:45,260 --> 00:38:45,330
Yeah.
739
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,730
Yes, we are one, but we all have
different parts that we're playing.
740
00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:51,180
I love the song, glorious.
741
00:38:51,790 --> 00:38:56,220
because it talks about that we are
a symphony and we're all playing
742
00:38:56,220 --> 00:38:59,580
our own piece, but that it is
this beautiful symphony together.
743
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:04,510
And what happens when everybody tries to
be like everyone else and play a violin
744
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,950
is that the symphony sounds pretty dull.
745
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:13,440
And we need to recognize that the oboe
and the flute and everything else that
746
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:19,580
gets played is just as significant
and that we pick up whatever that
747
00:39:20,290 --> 00:39:25,570
that gift, whatever that joy, that
spark within us that we honor that.
748
00:39:25,570 --> 00:39:30,090
And that is our instrument in
the symphony to be played because
749
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:35,580
without that, and without that,
the symphony isn't as beautiful.

Yes.
753
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:45,210
Just to wrap that up, that perfectly
explains kind of the collective
754
00:39:45,230 --> 00:39:48,860
consciousness that, like I said,
there's a lot of research out there,
755
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,870
psychoanalysts and neurologists that
are coming up with this proof that
756
00:39:53,870 --> 00:39:56,040
we are all connected consciously.
757
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,920
We're all part of a
collective consciousness.
758
00:39:58,260 --> 00:40:01,490
And I just learned recently that
we're actually more connected.
759
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:08,100
more related species wise to fungus
than to plants and that fungus to
760
00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:12,378
are to plants like, like humans
and fungus split from the tree.

00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:13,838
We're like one chromosome away.
763
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:14,980
I read a book about that.
764
00:40:14,980 --> 00:40:15,210

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [40:14.162]
766
00:40:15,708 --> 00:40:20,610
Yeah, so it's like the way fungus
communicate to each other through
767
00:40:20,610 --> 00:40:24,140
electrical impulses and that they're all
connected and that that's how trees talk
768
00:40:24,140 --> 00:40:29,160
to each other through the fungus systems
and all the crazy scientific awesomeness
769
00:40:29,610 --> 00:40:33,620
of the world, but that human beings
are part of a collective consciousness.
770
00:40:33,660 --> 00:40:36,800
And I believe that when we really
are tapped into our intuition, we
771
00:40:36,830 --> 00:40:40,830
are also tapped into that collective
consciousness as it is like the
772
00:40:40,830 --> 00:40:42,832
orchestra playing that symphony.

Rachel Taylor [41:01.662]
784
00:41:02,730 --> 00:41:05,370
You know, some people might think
we're weird for talking about
785
00:41:05,370 --> 00:41:08,430
the things we are, but it's okay.
786
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:13,890
Like, be your own kind of weird
because it's our part of the
787
00:41:13,890 --> 00:41:16,790
symphony and it's beautiful.

Yeah.
793
00:41:17,410 --> 00:41:18,790
And how weird are fungus?
794
00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:23,060
And they, like, they come in
all kinds of shapes and colors
795
00:41:23,060 --> 00:41:24,920
and it's beautiful and amazing.
796

Rachel Taylor [41:22.194]
797
00:41:25,136 --> 00:41:26,720
Yeah, and don't criticize
or judge each other for it.
798
00:41:27,610 --> 00:41:29,580
We need to learn from the fun guy, right?

800
00:41:31,130 --> 00:41:33,910
I had no intention whatsoever
bringing up Fungi in this episode,
801
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:35,550
but here we are and we did it.
802
00:41:36,180 --> 00:41:36,570
Yeah.
803
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,080
So thank you so much for joining me today.
804
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,100
I feel like this was
such a fun conversation.
805
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:46,200
I told her before we started recording
that some of my motivation for even
806
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,260
inviting guests is just so that I
can get to know people better that
807
00:41:49,260 --> 00:41:51,530
I admire or I want to get to know.
808
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:56,010
We just kind of had a little fun
time hanging out and talking about
809
00:41:56,010 --> 00:41:57,150
one of our favorite subjects.
810
00:41:57,860 --> 00:41:57,972

And I would like to
invite everyone next week.
814
00:42:01,020 --> 00:42:06,040
The topic of next week's episode is
going to be about May Day celebrations
815
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,680
because Beltane is coming up.
816
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,240
And I want everyone to have a little
bit of knowledge and understanding
817
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:16,350
about what the May Day celebrations
are all about, especially in folklore
818
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:20,110
and how that plays a part in our
lives and in the cycles of our lives.
819
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,710
So join us next week for that.
820

Rachel Taylor [42:00.975]
821
00:42:22,733 --> 00:42:22,804
So, we're going to start
with the first question.
822
00:42:22,804 --> 00:42:22,921
So, what is the most important thing
that you do when you're doing a job?
823
00:42:22,921 --> 00:42:22,992
So, I'm going to start
with the first question.
824
00:42:22,992 --> 00:42:23,110
So, what is the most important thing
that you do when you're doing a job?

834
00:42:55,550 --> 00:42:59,530
And I am in the process of
building an online community.
835
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:04,870
where people are coming in a safe,
beautiful space to be themselves, to
836
00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:14,540
remember themselves, and to get into it,
and to not go without any more, that you
837
00:43:14,540 --> 00:43:17,370
can have your whole self in your life.
838
00:43:17,380 --> 00:43:21,010
So I'd be honored if you
followed me along this journey.
839
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,300
I'm getting into it on my own,

Oh, I am for sure going to be a part
of that community anytime that I
842
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,010
can be a part of a community where
we're like supporting each other
843
00:43:32,020 --> 00:43:33,270
and bringing forward things that
844
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,250
probably everyone in the group
needs and so you'll see me.
845
00:43:38,980 --> 00:43:41,140
Yeah For sure.
846
00:43:41,330 --> 00:43:48,500
And then of course, there's all of this
information her links to her Socials
847
00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:53,720

per episode for all additional
854
00:44:03,630 --> 00:44:07,910
resources, anything else that I come
across that has to do with intuition.
855
00:44:08,620 --> 00:44:12,920
My blog is really good at being
parallel with the episode, but not
856
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,110
exactly a transcript of the episode.
857
00:44:15,140 --> 00:44:16,540
I like to write it myself.
858
00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:21,360
And so you can go ahead and look for
those things and some of the other books
859
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,030
and things that we mentioned here today.

00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:42,240
I do have a Tarot for Tips
events we are doing at different
881
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:45,080
locations around daybreak here.
882
00:44:45,350 --> 00:44:49,690
I like to just set myself up in a coffee
shop and read cards for a couple of
883
00:44:49,690 --> 00:44:51,860
hours for anybody that wants to pop in.
884
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:54,260
So check out my website for those events.
885
00:44:54,940 --> 00:44:57,270
And then I have my healing
through art workshop that's
886
00:44:57,270 --> 00:44:58,740
coming up at the end of the month.
887
00:44:59,210 --> 00:45:03,200
And at the middle of the month, I
always do on a Friday after school,
888
00:45:03,230 --> 00:45:08,450
a kids heart smart art workshop for
kids and parents, which helps them
889
00:45:08,450 --> 00:45:12,910
raise emotional intelligence and
also get a little art time and fun.
890
00:45:12,930 --> 00:45:16,410
And usually I send the kids home
with a fun little mini book about
891
00:45:16,410 --> 00:45:20,870
their big feelings, helping them
go home, getting connected with
892
00:45:20,870 --> 00:45:22,750
their intuition a little bit better.
893
00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:26,990
So stay tuned for my events and
please, I would love to see you there.
894
00:45:27,410 --> 00:45:32,080

question, then I can put it up on the
