Hello, lovely souls. Welcome back to the

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,000
Awakening to Your Soul Self podcast. I'm

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,480
so excited for this episode. I have

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,840
Jessica here. She is a

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,320
neurosomatic transformation coach. How

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,800
are you?I'm great. Thank you for having

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,440
me. Of course. So we're going to dive in

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800
to a few topics, because if you've never

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,720
heard of. Neurosomatic transformation

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,720
coach. We're gonna go into each part of

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,400
it and what that represents. So let's

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,920
start with who are you and what do you do?

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,280
Yeah. So my name is Jessica. Like you

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,920
said, I am a I'm actually a nurse by

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,760
background. So I've been a nurse for

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,360
about 20 years. Actually, it was 20 years

17
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,840
in May, and I

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,240
love that. I feel like that was my soul

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,160
passion, my soul purpose for a very long

20
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,880
time. But about, I mean, it started

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,560
before, three years ago, before I quit my

22
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,440
job. But three years ago, I ended up

23
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,120
leaving the healthcare system for in

24
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,080
pursuit of what really, truly sets my

25
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,320
soul on fire. And

26
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,200
so backing it up a little bit, I

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
just, I mean, I worked in ICU. That was

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,840
my primary focus. And

29
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,440
then I did work in a different department

30
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240
as well. But it's this constant going and

31
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,920
doing. And really, I was really

32
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,440
burnt out, very overwhelmed, didn't have

33
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,360
a lot of resources just for all

34
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
of the the constant fast pace and the

35
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,280
death and just all the different things

36
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,200
that you get. And then on top of that, I

37
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,760
had two small children, I had a husband

38
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,960
and it was just a lot. There was just a

39
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,960
constant going and. What I've now

40
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,520
realized is that throughout I ended up

41
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,560
leaving the ICU I went to a place, a

42
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,080
department called Interventional

43
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Radiology and after leaving and going

44
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,920
there, I really feel like that was the

45
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,920
start of like a misalignment where I was

46
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,600
like, OK, this isn't exactly what I want

47
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,760
to do. My passion was ICU, but just

48
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,240
working the long shifts and everything

49
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,600
like there was just shifts that needed to

50
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,480
happen. And

51
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800
so try to make the long story short here,

52
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,760
but. I I feel like at that point I

53
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,360
started this misalignment. When I say

54
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,600
misalignment, I mean my

55
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
body, my mind and my soul

56
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,000
were literally all at war with each

57
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,800
other. I didn't know what I wanted to do.

58
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,360
I knew I was meant for more. I knew what

59
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,920
I was doing was not exactly what I was

60
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,480
meant to do anymore, but I didn't know

61
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,080
how to get there. I didn't know what else

62
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,000
to do. I carried the insurance. I carried

63
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,960
the benefits. I had a stable job. I made

64
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,240
good money. And so. You know, you've got

65
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,520
these expectations, you know, that you

66
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,080
put on yourself and also that you feel

67
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,720
like others put on you societal and

68
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,480
different things. Like, OK, I'm a nurse.

69
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,840
I became a nurse. This is what I have to

70
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,600
be for my whole life. And so I need to

71
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,920
stay doing this. And

72
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,680
I ended up just Long

73
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,160
story short, COVID came in, it just

74
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,720
already already being burnt out and then

75
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,680
that on top of it. It just, I just knew

76
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,920
I wasn't where I needed to be. And so I

77
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,480
ended up leaving the hospital and it was

78
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,120
the hardest decision I've ever had to

79
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280
make. It was super, super hard to make

80
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,880
that decision. I didn't have anything

81
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,280
to back me up. I had nothing behind me. I

82
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,800
was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do,

83
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,080
but my husband had kind of given me this

84
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,360
permission. Like, you just need to leave.

85
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,080
Like you are miserable. There was one day

86
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
where he's like. You. I don't like to be

87
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,840
around you. The kids don't want to be

88
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,880
around you. You're just miserable. And

89
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,600
that was a huge wake up call for me.

90
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,520
Like, you know, most of the people I'm

91
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,880
coming home to and they're getting the

92
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280
worst pieces of me because I'm just

93
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,280
burnt out. And like, you can't show that

94
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,600
when you're at work. You have to have it

95
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,000
all put together. And yeah. And

96
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,280
so that was a really big wake up call.

97
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,880
And so he was basically like, you just

98
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,160
need to, you just need to leave, quit

99
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,560
your job. Like, we'll figure it out.

100
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,200
We'll figure it out. So. So the last

101
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,920
three years have been me just really

102
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,080
trying to figure it out. So I I became a

103
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,720
coach and a nurse coach.

104
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,680
First I found a program and it really

105
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,240
spoke to me. So I was like, all right, I

106
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,400
think it was one of those things where I

107
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,480
was trying to figure out what the heck I

108
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,360
wanted to do and a Facebook ad popped up

109
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,200
like they do. Yeah, of course. OK, here,

110
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,760
this is what you know. So I was like, OK,

111
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,960
this is speaking to me. I need to do

112
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
this. And then I ended up just hiring a

113
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,000
coach of my own and through that deep

114
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
reflective process of her being like,

115
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,720
well. Who are you?Because I was in this

116
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560
almost identity crisis. I left this job

117
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,280
and now I'm like, well, who am I outside

118
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
of being a nurse?Who am I?And these are

119
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,160
questions I had never really asked

120
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,160
myself. Like I I grew up, I was

121
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,680
like the good girl. I always did

122
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,360
everything everybody told me I needed to

123
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560
do. I, you know, got married. I went to

124
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,520
school. I became a nurse. I got married.

125
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
I had kids and   had everything except

126
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,240
for the defence. Basically, you know, I

127
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,920
had it all put together on the outside.

128
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,480
So if someone on the outside would be

129
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,040
like, well, why are you miserable?You

130
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,720
know, like, I would feel bad. Like, I

131
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
shouldn't be miserable. I have everything

132
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,960
that I need. But my soul was just,

133
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400
it was not feeling fulfilled. And so,

134
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,200
yeah, I ended up through that coach. She

135
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,920
really challenged me to

136
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,240
really look inside myself, like, who are

137
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,520
you and how do you want to show up in the

138
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,440
world and who and who do you want to be?

139
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,280
Like, you have this time in this space,

140
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,080
like, really lean into that. And so

141
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,640
that's what the last two years have been

142
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,920
me really leaning into. Who am I?How do I

143
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,760
want to show up in this world?What am I

144
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,000
here to do and how am I here to serve?

145
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,720
And it's always been in helping people

146
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,640
and helping in healing. I think that's

147
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,280
where I truly feel like deep down I am

148
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,920
like this, this deep spiritual

149
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,720
medicine woman. And it's just really

150
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,720
bringing that alive inside of myself. And

151
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,200
so I say breathwork found me.

152
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,840
Through another coach and just other

153
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:40,480
different things. And it was really like

154
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,400
a coming home to my body. And when I say

155
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,760
that was like, when I say that, people

156
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,240
are like, well, what does that mean?It's

157
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,960
like, I don't know how else to describe

158
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,960
it, except that like when I was there and

159
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,160
doing it, I was like, I've never felt

160
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,480
safety in my body. I've never felt this

161
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
place where I can be with myself. And I

162
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,040
felt like this is what I need to do and

163
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,840
this is who I am. And so I

164
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,360
kind of took off with that. I'm like, all

165
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,880
right, I feel like I want to bring this

166
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,320
to the world. I want to show people what

167
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,120
breathwork is. I want to teach it. I want

168
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,840
to embody it. And so I've just been kind

169
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,480
of building and learning as I've been

170
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,440
going. And yeah, so right now

171
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,880
I am a coach. Like you said, I'm a

172
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,920
neurosomatic coach. So when we say

173
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,160
neurosomatic, people are like, oh, what

174
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,920
does that even mean?So neuro is the

175
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,480
brain and so like mindset, brain and all

176
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,880
of that. And then you have the body. So

177
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,640
soma is the body. So it's neurosomatic,

178
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,560
so mind and body coaching. So

179
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,480
what I really try to do is, yes, we

180
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,560
do work on the mindset when I am coaching

181
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,320
you, but we also work on the body. I feel

182
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,080
like body-based healing is so

183
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080
important because there's so much that

184
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,400
can happen throughout our life. There's

185
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,200
even things that happen in. Past lives

186
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080
in that we're that we are given as we

187
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,160
are born, that's been passed down from

188
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,920
our mom, her mom, generation from

189
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,360
generation, all these things that we

190
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,520
carry inside of us, 100%

191
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,080
traumas like trauma. I mean, when I say

192
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,800
trauma, that word triggers people

193
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,680
sometimes. So when I say trauma, it can

194
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760
be, yes, it can be a big thing like

195
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,000
death, divorce, move, sexual assault,

196
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,040
anything really big. Or it can be little

197
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,680
T trauma, which is. You know, you weren't

198
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,960
loved the way that you needed to be

199
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,880
loved, or somebody said something to you,

200
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,520
or a friend made fun of you, or something

201
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,440
happened and that stayed stuck in your

202
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,840
body. And so our body remembers

203
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,760
things. And if you weren't, if you were

204
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,200
told when you were younger, like, don't

205
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,120
cry, everything's fine, you're fine. But

206
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,800
really, your body didn't feel like it was

207
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,040
like, that's all stuff that we we stuff

208
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,720
down and we just keep in our body. And

209
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,760
So what I try to do with with the

210
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,280
coaching that I do, the body-based

211
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,480
healing is really getting to. It's not

212
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,040
that you have to go and think about the

213
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,880
trauma that happened in your life. It's

214
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680
about letting your body uncover what it

215
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,840
needs to so it can heal. Because when we

216
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,680
do stuff all of this trauma down, when we

217
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,920
stuff all of these things down, that

218
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,720
leads to disease, that leads to illness

219
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480
and sickness in our body because we are

220
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,120
not processing what we need to process.

221
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,360
We're just shoving it down. So that was a

222
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,240
really long-winded answer about who I am,

223
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,360
but

224
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,200
but I really loved it because it really

225
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,800
shows the audience of

226
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,880
where you started and what's your your

227
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,080
overall purpose. When you when you first

228
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,680
started talking, the 1st 2nd words I saw

229
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,000
were healing the world

230
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,520
and I really think that's beautiful and

231
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,080
you know, I really believe that. You had

232
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640
to hit that nurse path in order to

233
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560
find where you are now to believe that

234
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:41,520
nothing is a coincidence. Everything

235
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,280
happens for a reason. And

236
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,440
you know, for me, I found my gifts after

237
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,320
COVID as well, where I started to get

238
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
really burnt out. I'm still doing my job

239
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,920
because I have to, you know, pay bills

240
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480
and things. But it's

241
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,960
really COVID is is almost like.

242
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,040
No one loves to hear COVID anymore, but

243
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,720
it was almost like an awakening for a lot

244
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
of people where

245
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,400
people were burnt out. They realized that

246
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440
there's enough what they wanted to do

247
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,280
anymore, or they needed to switch

248
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,480
what they're doing. And the

249
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,200
society just always is, like you said,

250
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840
married kids, job

251
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,600
done. You know, it's. But it's way bigger

252
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,560
than that. Yeah. Yeah yeah, I

253
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:32,040
almost say that COVID is, it's been a

254
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880
blessing in disguise. I think for a lot

255
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200
of people, like, yes, it did cause a lot

256
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,000
of heartache and and different things in

257
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,560
different people's lives. But I think it

258
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,120
did also make people realize that,

259
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,760
like, what?I mean, we have such a short

260
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,600
time here, you know, on this earth. So

261
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,200
like, what are you doing with your time?

262
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Like, do you, if you don't love what

263
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,000
you're doing and you're stuck there,

264
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,720
like, yeah. You know, you can do

265
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,160
something with your life. I think that's

266
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,080
the the most beautiful thing that it has

267
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,360
brought me is this awareness that you

268
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,000
don't have to be stuck in what you're

269
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,080
doing. If if you feel stuck, not saying

270
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,480
that everybody feels stuck in their job

271
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,080
because there's plenty of people who just

272
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,920
love, still love what they do, which is

273
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,880
amazing. But I also feel like

274
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,840
it did give us this, this almost like an

275
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,360
awakening, like you said, where it's like

276
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,840
if you are not aligned with what you are

277
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,840
truly doing, if your soul feels like you

278
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,480
need to be doing something else, I feel

279
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,600
like this. It really was this pivotal

280
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,320
time for people to be like, OK, wake up.

281
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,320
Like I am made for more than what I'm

282
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,720
doing. And how do I do that now?How do I

283
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640
go forward and do it?And it can be scary.

284
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,080
It can be so scary 100% because

285
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,040
our body will always choose the

286
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,040
unfamiliar or the familiar hell

287
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640
over the unfamiliar. Maybe it's freedom,

288
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,480
maybe it's whatever, but our. Our body

289
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,960
will be like, oh, I don't know, that

290
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,640
might seem a little scary. So I'm just

291
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,240
gonna stay over here, even though it

292
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,160
feels super uncomfortable to be here. Our

293
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,800
body will always choose this chaos

294
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,280
over what doesn't know. Always.

295
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,800
So always. And you were fortunate enough

296
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,800
that your husband was really supportive

297
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,360
and he said just quit

298
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,280
because as we all know, after COVID, it

299
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,280
was still a very hard time. I mean,

300
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,040
it's still a hard time with groceries and

301
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,960
gas and everything's inflated, but

302
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,440
he he also knew that you just needed to

303
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,920
get away as well. Yeah,

304
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,160
absolutely. I am very, very thankful for

305
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,840
that because I do know there's a lot of

306
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
people still struggling and there's a lot

307
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,080
of people that don't have the opportunity

308
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400
that I that I was given and I think.

309
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,640
We both come from these backgrounds where

310
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,280
we're we're very much savers and so

311
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,920
we had a little bit to fall back on that

312
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880
it was like OK I can go and do this. And

313
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,600
now granted he has like picked up he

314
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,960
almost he does have like a second job

315
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,920
cause we we do like rental

316
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,760
incomes as well and so or like real

317
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520
estate investments I should say and so

318
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:02,960
you know we have that as well so that I

319
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,160
mean it has made. Of my

320
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,200
leaving my job and and creating this

321
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
life so much more free and

322
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,160
abundant because we do have and because

323
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,960
we had been so good at saving and so good

324
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,800
at like, you know, staying within our

325
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,880
means that that we were able to do this.

326
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280
But yeah, that's

327
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,840
fantastic. So I'd love to pivot

328
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,480
to. I know we dabbled a little bit on the

329
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,560
work that you do, the neurosomatic.

330
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,680
Work. But who does it really help

331
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,560
and and how did you find this work?Yeah,

332
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440
that's a great question. So

333
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,680
anybody, this can help anybody. Turning

334
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,080
off my heater cause it got a little warm

335
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,120
in here.

336
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,120
So I

337
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,200
I try to, I try to give this to my kids

338
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,400
as well. So my kids are 18 and 16 and

339
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,520
when I started this work, I've been doing

340
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,240
breath work now for about two years, so

341
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,840
they would have been like 14 and 16.

342
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,880
Those are hard ages to sell kids at, man,

343
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,000
especially if they're your own.

344
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,200
So, but I say this is for everybody,

345
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,560
even children. Like, I feel like there's

346
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:12,360
so many people and I think

347
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,520
people are age and teachers and things

348
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
now that are learning that

349
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,960
feeling into your emotions, really being

350
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,600
able and aware to talk about what's going

351
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240
on. Which is so beautiful because when

352
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,000
I was growing up, that was not something

353
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,600
that we talked about. We didn't talk

354
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,760
about feelings, we didn't talk about

355
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,040
emotions. We didn't, you know, you, you

356
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,480
shoved them down like I talked about

357
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,560
before. And so

358
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,560
I really feel like this, this work is for

359
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:42,280
anybody and everybody who is

360
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,440
ready to do the deep, the deep healing

361
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,680
work. And sometimes that can be scary

362
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,080
because I've had conversations with

363
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,200
people before too, where they're like. Oh

364
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,960
gosh. So I have to like feel things. And

365
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,960
I was like, yeah, that's that's the whole

366
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,640
point of this. Like you have to feel it

367
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,680
to heal it truly. And it's not that

368
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,760
I'm, you know, telling you to go back and

369
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,960
relive this trauma. I'm just telling you

370
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,960
to allow your body to let what what

371
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,760
needs to happen, happen. So our body is

372
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,200
so wise. Our body knows

373
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,440
exactly what we need. Our body can heal

374
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,440
itself if we give it the right

375
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,360
environment, the right. It's it's

376
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,960
really like the right all the things

377
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,920
around us. So what we put into our body,

378
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,120
what we put on our body, who we hang out

379
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,680
with, what we listen to, what we eat,

380
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880
what we drink, the products we use, like

381
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,880
all of it affects our body. And s

382
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,160
o what you hear, who you surround

383
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,640
yourself with as well is so important.

384
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,120
So I kind of got around a roundabout way

385
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,120
here, but this work really is for

386
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,880
anybody. I myself do a lot of

387
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,520
work with women. That's just who I've

388
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,080
resonated the most with in doing this

389
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,640
work. And I love

390
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
creating sacred sisterhood. Like that's

391
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,320
one of my my ultimate like dreams and

392
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160
passions is creating. Like I

393
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,120
just went on a retreat this last weekend

394
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,680
and just bringing women together to heal

395
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,000
I think is so powerful

396
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,480
because we have so much wisdom and so

397
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,480
much inside of us that. We can

398
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,200
share with each other. So if we stop this

399
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,680
competing, you know, we're brought up

400
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560
especially as girls like

401
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,200
competing against one another and

402
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,280
like I have to, I have to look better

403
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,120
than you or I need to, I need to dress

404
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,760
better than her or I need to to act

405
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,120
better. You know, like we have, there's

406
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,560
so much competition, there's so much

407
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,560
jealousy, there's there's so much all of

408
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,640
this thing. And so one of the big things

409
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640
that I want to bring to the world also

410
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,440
is. That we all have

411
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,040
different medicine. We are all different

412
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,000
people. We all are made in to be our

413
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,280
own true, authentic self. And when we are

414
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,280
that person, nobody can dim

415
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,120
your light. Like you have what you

416
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,960
have. Like if you and I were sitting here

417
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,680
and we both were offering breath work.

418
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Yeah, people that need you will find you

419
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,320
and the people that need me will find me.

420
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,040
And I am happy to promote you and to talk

421
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,960
about you, even if we're standing side by

422
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,320
side and the people had to pick who they

423
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,880
wanted to go to. Because I just know I've

424
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,880
done this work now that I just know that

425
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,200
we are here for who we're here for and

426
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,400
your people will find you. And it's not a

427
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,560
competition. Like if I can promote you

428
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,200
and if I can help you shine even more,

429
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,560
that's just gonna help me shine even

430
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,080
more. And that's gonna help that person

431
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,040
shine even more like. We all are here to

432
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,080
raise the frequency to to just

433
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,480
share and and all of our knowledge. Like

434
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,280
we all have so many gifts to share if we

435
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,680
can just share with each other. Like

436
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,840
that's what I I truly feel like I am here

437
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,560
for is that connectedness, that

438
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,120
growth together, this transformation,

439
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040
this deep healing work. So I

440
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,320
don't know if that really answered your

441
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,160
question, but I think it did

442
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,240
in spirit always shows me that there.

443
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,680
There's so many different gifts and

444
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,920
there's so many different healing

445
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,760
modalities, and there's so many healers

446
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,680
because not everybody resonates

447
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,880
with the one person. That's why there's

448
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,840
so many of us. And because we're all

449
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,680
trying to raise the frequency, we can't

450
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,000
have one one leader raising the whole

451
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,840
world. That's impossible, right?Yeah,

452
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,800
100%. So with the neurosomatic work, is

453
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,520
that strictly breath work or is there?

454
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,600
Other techniques as well that comes with

455
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,360
that. Yeah, good question. So in

456
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:30,840
my in my coaching programs and I'm trying

457
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,560
to really bring them all together

458
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,440
and almost kind of revamp them a

459
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,240
little bit. Cause I think as I go deeper

460
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,680
into the work, new things come up and

461
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,520
it's like, OK, I don't want to do it that

462
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,040
way anymore. Like I don't want to just do

463
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,560
a breath work session with you. Like I

464
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,360
want to be in a sacred container where we

465
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,760
spend 3 months together and yes, maybe we

466
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,320
do breath work. But maybe we also do

467
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,400
Kundalini, which is another piece of work

468
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,280
that I do, which is the your Kundalini

469
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,760
energy is your divine Shakti, this divine

470
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,560
feminine energy. And we all

471
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,040
have it inside of us, male or female. It

472
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,440
is just the feminine energy inside of us.

473
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,280
But a lot of times it lays dormant

474
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,440
because we don't know how to use this

475
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,760
energy. And sometimes when I say energy,

476
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,120
people get a little weird, but there's

477
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,800
energy all around us. Everything is

478
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080
energy. Even, you know, a little kid when

479
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,360
you're like, oh gosh, they've got, they

480
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,160
got so many, so much energy. You know,

481
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,800
it's funny when we say that about like a

482
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,200
little kid jumping around and having so

483
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,600
much energy. But when you talk about

484
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,680
energy in the sense of the work that you

485
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,960
do, people get a little bit like, oh, I

486
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,600
don't know, what is that?That's weird. So

487
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,480
I like to caveat that that like energy is

488
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,560
everything in everything, in everywhere.

489
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,880
And so this. Kundalini

490
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,280
energy. So I use Kundalini, the practice

491
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,720
of Kundalini, and there's kriyas and

492
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,880
mudras and different things like that

493
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320
that go with the Kundalini. So I try to

494
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,960
bring all of that into my coaching space.

495
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,120
Also the somatic work. So that's going

496
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,320
into the body and maybe asking the body

497
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,680
what it needs. So getting you quiet,

498
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,680
using a little bit of the breath work to

499
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,520
have you drop into your body. And when

500
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,240
I'm when I say that, I mean. We're

501
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760
so often outside of our body. We ask

502
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,960
everybody else for opinions. We are, you

503
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,760
know, social media is at our fingertips.

504
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,120
So we're constantly, you know, listening

505
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,280
to things and getting feedback from all

506
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,360
these other sources. But when we can get

507
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,440
quiet with our body, when we can get

508
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,080
quiet with ourself, our body can speak to

509
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,880
us. And it's amazing

510
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,520
when you truly get to the point where you

511
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,920
allow your body to speak to you, because

512
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,320
your body can tell you what it needs if

513
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,440
you get quiet enough. But

514
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,440
getting quiet is the hard part. And for

515
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,400
me, I mean, if I would have talked about

516
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,000
this three years ago, I couldn't even

517
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,600
meditate. So I'm just telling you, it can

518
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,640
happen. It can happen for anybody. So if

519
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,680
you're sitting here and you're like, oh

520
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,320
my gosh, that could never be me, trust

521
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,200
me, I was right there. I was right there.

522
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,760
I was a nurse working in the Western

523
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,920
medicine. We took a pill every time

524
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,280
something, you know, every time

525
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,760
something, you got a headache, you take a

526
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,640
pill. Like you just, that's just how I

527
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,800
grew up. And now learning that there's so

528
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,120
many different ways of healing, there's

529
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:08,760
so many different modalities that we can

530
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,560
heal our body. And so for me, the biggest

531
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,720
one that has helped me is this body based

532
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,520
work. And so whatever you need in the

533
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,600
session, I I try to create like a three

534
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,440
month or six month or a year long

535
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,800
container with people to really do the

536
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,640
deep dive in the work. So it is, it's the

537
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,560
mindset, it's it's talking through, it's

538
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,560
coaching, but it's also really getting to

539
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,800
the body level too, like what does your

540
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,360
body need like some days. Like, I'll come

541
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,520
to the session. I'll be like, what do you

542
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,680
need today?Do you just need to talk?Do

543
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,520
you need to, you know, an accountability

544
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560
partner?Do you need to go through what's

545
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,520
happening in your life or do you need to

546
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,960
go into the body?Do we need to breathe it

547
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,960
out in breath work?Do we need to do a

548
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,720
little activation session with some

549
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,200
Kundalini?Do we need to go into the body

550
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,200
and just let the body speak?And so

551
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,960
sometimes that's just, you know, you and

552
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,680
I could be sitting here, I just have you

553
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,800
drop in with a little breath and then we

554
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,720
just ask your body what it needs like

555
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,480
and. A lot of people, like for me, I

556
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,320
don't hear auditory things. So when I say

557
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,000
that, having your body speak to you, it's

558
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,640
literally like maybe a pain will come in

559
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,240
on your shoulder and you're like, oh

560
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,120
gosh, what is that?Well, OK, does it need

561
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:16,960
to move?Like, what does it need?Breathe

562
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,640
into it and just see what comes up, like

563
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,640
allow it just to be there. But we have to

564
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,760
get quiet enough in order to do that. And

565
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,960
so that's the kind of containers that I

566
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,880
create is to be able to do this work on a

567
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,200
deep level, but really getting quiet with

568
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,200
the body. I love that

569
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,400
you brought that up because recently I've

570
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,920
been asking my body what it wants.

571
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,280
I hear more auditory, so I'll

572
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,720
actually hear it. But I love what you

573
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,520
said of feeling it because I don't always

574
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,160
feel.

575
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,920
And I think even for other people that

576
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,120
don't see or feel, they could get a

577
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,760
vision, they could, you know,

578
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,160
see it and.

579
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,120
It takes practice. I mean, you you don't

580
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,280
get the answers as quick as you

581
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,120
think. It's not like a conversation. I

582
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,720
just want to throw that in there, that

583
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,000
it's not just like, yes, you're having a

584
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,200
conversation with your body, but it it's

585
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,280
like meditation. It's like anything you

586
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,120
do, like learning to read, it takes

587
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:21,640
practice. Yes.

588
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,480
So once you learn how to do it,

589
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440
then it becomes easier. And easier.

590
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,360
And then it doesn't take as long to do a

591
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,160
meditation or to do that breath work

592
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,200
to find out what's wrong with the body or

593
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,880
what it wants or needs. Not

594
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,400
necessarily what's wrong with it, but

595
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,360
what it just needs. Yes, I love that

596
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:45,160
because I am not a visual. I don't. I

597
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,880
don't get visions and I don't really hear

598
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,000
things, but I feel things. But you're

599
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,360
right, like different people will see

600
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:55,320
colors or people will be like. I

601
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,720
feel like there's an animal that's coming

602
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,400
to me or, you know, like I don't know,

603
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,800
just all sorts of things. So it can be

604
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,120
your body can speak to you in many ways.

605
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,800
It doesn't have to be auditory. It

606
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,480
doesn't have to be visual. It could be

607
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,400
feeling. It could be, it could be any of

608
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,960
the things, you know. So, but yeah, it's

609
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,040
it's it's getting to that point where you

610
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,440
can hear it, which does take practice.

611
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,800
And I love that you said that as well

612
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,640
because. I try to say this to

613
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,520
people when they're doing this work that

614
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,520
it's like going to the gym or let's say

615
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,760
you're you're wanting to train for a

616
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,040
marathon or you're gonna be in this

617
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,040
bodybuilding competition or you're gonna

618
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,600
be, I don't know, whatever it is that

619
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,480
you're you want to lose 30 lbs, whatever

620
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,240
it is, you're gonna set yourself up a

621
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,080
plan. You're going to, you know, like,

622
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,400
OK, I'm gonna go to the gym four days

623
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,760
this week or I'm gonna run five days this

624
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,000
week or whatever it is like you're gonna

625
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,960
come up with a plan. And you're gonna do

626
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,280
it and you're gonna be consistent and

627
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,840
you're gonna keep doing it. And that's

628
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,120
how this work is as well. Same with

629
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,680
meditation or breath work or or any of

630
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,560
these healing modalities. It's really,

631
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,400
it's not just gonna be a one time and and

632
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,160
now I'm fixed. Like it's it's a practice.

633
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,880
It's continuing to do it because like we

634
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,720
just talked about a little bit ago, like

635
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,680
I couldn't meditate when I, you know,

636
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,320
when I was a nurse and someone told me to

637
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,880
meditate, I was like they're crazy. I

638
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,760
can't sit here with my thoughts for more

639
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,160
than two minutes and. Everything is

640
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,960
coming in like crazy. And you know what a

641
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,560
little boy that you know on the

642
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,720
playground said to me in 3rd grade, you

643
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,360
know, like just the weird stuff that pops

644
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:24,520
up in your mind. You're like, where did

645
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,680
this even come from?So

646
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,840
just knowing that, like everybody starts

647
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,600
somewhere, like I started somewhere, you

648
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,120
started somewhere. Like we all start

649
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,000
somewhere. I didn't just, this doesn't

650
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,520
didn't happen overnight. Like it is a

651
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,080
practice. It's it's taken me. You know,

652
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,400
especially since I started breath work

653
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,200
was two years ago, it's been 2 years of

654
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,480
me doing breath work routinely to feel

655
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,280
like now I'm in this place where I can

656
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,640
drop into my body. Like I just had a

657
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,840
breath work session with someone the

658
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,400
other day. We were in the breath work and

659
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,680
I think it was not even 2-3 minutes and I

660
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,640
was already like just dropped in. I could

661
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,000
feel into my body so much. It's just

662
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,200
like, wow, I've come so far from when I

663
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,400
would start my breath work, you know,

664
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,560
journey. You know, a whole 60 minute

665
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,880
session and a lot of times I'd be like, o

666
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,560
h my gosh, when is this gonna be done?Are

667
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,040
we almost done yet?You know, like all

668
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,120
these thoughts come in and now I'm to

669
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,320
this place where it's like I my body

670
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,040
craves it. Like my body just wants

671
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,760
this deep connection with myself,

672
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,720
this quietness, you know?So it's like

673
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600
one more thing to like caveat here is

674
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,560
that our bodies are, especially if

675
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,360
you've been in this go, go, go, we've got

676
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,000
our sympathetic, which is this fight or

677
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,120
flight response that our body does. Or we

678
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:38,520
have the parasympathetic, which is the

679
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,360
rest and digest. And a lot of times we

680
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:42,600
live in this sympathetic, this fight or

681
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,240
flight cause we are constantly going. We

682
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,760
are looking for the next thing that's

683
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,800
gonna like come up or that we're gonna

684
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,280
have to deal with. And we've got 5000

685
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,000
fires to put out. And and if you are a

686
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,680
mom and you've got all your kids' stuff

687
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,320
to do, or if you're in a corporate job,

688
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,880
you've got all these deadlines. Like

689
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,320
there's just so many things that we are

690
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,800
inundated with on a daily basis. So we

691
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,800
live in this sympathetic fight or flight,

692
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,200
so our body. Is so used to the

693
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,680
chaos that when we try

694
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,440
to sit and meditate

695
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,560
or breathe, our bodies, like our mind

696
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,920
starts going like, oh, you should be

697
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,840
doing something, you should get up and go

698
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,440
100% because our body constantly, our

699
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,800
body's like, wait, this doesn't feel

700
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,680
safe. Sitting still doesn't feel safe to

701
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,400
our nervous system. And so it looks for

702
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,640
the chaos. It's like, OK, let's create

703
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,480
something here because this is this

704
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,760
doesn't feel great. I don't know what to

705
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,400
do with this quietness. And so it

706
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,880
is becoming this practice of doing it

707
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,480
over and over and over again so that your

708
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,800
body can get used to, OK,

709
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,680
resting is safe. Like we are OK.

710
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,040
It's OK just to breathe. It's OK just to

711
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,240
be here for a moment because I don't know

712
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,760
if you were brought up this way, but like

713
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,280
when I was younger, if we just sat still

714
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,320
like you were being lazy, like that was

715
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,760
that was a big thing. You know, like you

716
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,520
get lazy, you got to constantly be doing

717
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,160
something or going somewhere. Or even

718
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,840
when I worked in in the hospital too, it

719
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,880
was like. You were just constantly going

720
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,400
like, who can I help next?Where do I go

721
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,520
next?What do I got to do?Like our body

722
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,640
just isn't used to in our society. We

723
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,320
weren't brought up to lean into the

724
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,680
stillness and lean into the rest.

725
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,200
Yes, 100 percent, 100%. And

726
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,280
and that's the way we grew up. That

727
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,000
society is slowly shifting

728
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,640
now, but it's definitely.

729
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,520
Definitely. Like, I can definitely tell a

730
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,240
difference. Like when I'm in my full time

731
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,920
job, I'm always go, go, go, go, go. And

732
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,440
then I come home and I'm like, I'm so

733
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,400
tired and my body's like, it's

734
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,320
because you didn't stop at all.

735
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Yeah. And now it's harder for me to

736
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,120
like, fully like

737
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:48,920
relax and slow down. So,

738
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,160
you know, some I try like. During

739
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,760
lunch I try to like take a couple deep

740
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,160
breaths and just like recenter myself and

741
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,920
I just want to throw that out for the

742
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,280
audience that sometimes if you just do a

743
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,160
moment, that is part of

744
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,040
the practice. You know,

745
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,080
now I can do like 1/2 hour meditation.

746
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,680
But when I first started, I only searched

747
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,240
for one minute once. No lie, because I

748
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,880
was like, I can't shut off my brain

749
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,440
and you know. Depending on the

750
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,840
person, for me, I didn't like to be in

751
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,240
complete silence. So I found

752
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:29,960
high vibrational music. I found guided

753
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,720
meditations and

754
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,160
especially that I'm so auditory. I think

755
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,560
that's why I gravitate towards that more.

756
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,760
For other people, you got to find what

757
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,720
works for you. Is it holding something?Is

758
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,360
it, you know, putting a

759
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,600
blanket around you to feel that comfort?

760
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,600
Is it doing it with somebody guided or

761
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,360
just music?So

762
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,800
we're just all so different. So whatever

763
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,120
Jessica and I are saying, just take what

764
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,920
take what resonates with you and and try

765
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,360
it out. If it doesn't work out, try

766
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,000
something different. It's it's definitely

767
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,840
a play thing. Just remind yourself, like

768
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,840
when you were a kid, you had all these

769
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,480
sports or you didn't do sports, you did,

770
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,120
you know, arts and crafty stuff or.

771
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,840
Something different. Bring yourself back

772
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,840
to that and just remember there's so many

773
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,360
different options. That's why there's so

774
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,960
many different healing modalities out

775
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520
there. Yeah, so true.

776
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,520
Because yes, well, breath work is

777
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,440
something that I preach because I love

778
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,920
it. It's also not for everybody. You

779
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,480
know, like you need to find what's best

780
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,360
for you and what works, you know, what

781
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,120
works for you. So 100% and like, like I

782
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,800
said, I couldn't do like meditation for

783
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,760
me is just not. I love when I can do

784
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,480
the breath and I can focus on the breath.

785
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,200
And I think that's why breath work for me

786
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,120
was so impactful because it gave me

787
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,080
something to focus on my breath, also the

788
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,800
music. And so I think having that both

789
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,120
together was really beautiful for me.

790
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,920
But there's so many healing modalities,

791
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,920
so many. And I'm just learning. I mean,

792
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,680
I've just started scratching the surface.

793
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,920
I feel because I, like I said, you know,

794
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,840
before three years ago, I didn't even

795
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,840
really know there was other ways to heal

796
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,240
your body besides just going to the

797
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,080
doctor, so. Yeah, it's like there's so

798
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,440
much to learn. So just taking little bits

799
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,120
at a time would be, is is huge. Yeah.

800
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,440
Absolutely. So I know that we

801
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520
talked about a little bit about breath

802
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,200
work. Should we go a little bit deeper

803
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,560
into breath work and maybe some exercises

804
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,520
that some people could take with them

805
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,080
after the episode?Yeah, absolutely.

806
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,880
So my favorite to

807
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,800
just drop in into just, even if

808
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,560
it's just like you said, 30 seconds or a

809
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,320
minute, let's say maybe you are in

810
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,880
drop-off line for your kids for school or

811
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,480
you get to the grocery store and you're

812
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,440
like, oh, I just need a minute. Like just

813
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,440
taking a minute and sitting with your

814
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,080
eyes closed. This. I think it's really

815
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,800
important to do breath work with your

816
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,520
eyes closed because otherwise you are

817
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,480
looking for everything to distract you

818
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,600
and then you're not being in your body.

819
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,440
And so that's the one thing that I will

820
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,240
say is really important is when you go

821
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,640
inward is really closing your eyes. And

822
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,320
not worrying about the outside world,

823
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,840
really focusing on yourself and letting

824
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,240
everything else go and just

825
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,040
inhaling through the nose and exhaling

826
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,840
out the mouth. Such a beautiful practice.

827
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,800
So simple. And that's why I think people

828
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760
think breath work is is silly sometimes

829
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,960
or that it wouldn't work because it's

830
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:32,920
like, well, it's just you're just

831
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,880
breathing. But truly we are doing

832
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,200
like intentional, we're intentionally

833
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,600
breathing and that's what we're doing

834
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,960
with breath work. We are intentionally

835
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440
moving because when we do breath work,

836
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,760
it's not just our breath. We are moving

837
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,320
energy as well. So when we breathe in,

838
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,160
even if you want to think of, I love like

839
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,760
setting an intention before I do some

840
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,600
breath work. Like, OK, I'm just looking

841
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,360
for some peace. I'm just looking for some

842
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,040
stillness. I'm looking for some calmness.

843
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,720
I want to connect to my body or I'm

844
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,360
looking to let something go. Just even

845
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,800
thinking about a thought and then

846
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,560
breathing with it. If it's to let

847
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,480
something go, really focusing on your

848
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,960
exhale, because our exhale is so

849
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,520
great for releasing, releasing

850
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,840
negative, anything negative in your body.

851
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,680
If you ever think about like if you've

852
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,360
ever been like really stressed and you're

853
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,040
just like and you just

854
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,440
take a big exhale, just even that can

855
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,160
let your body can feel so much better. So

856
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,400
even just that inhale and the exhale, if

857
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,920
you can sit there and do it for 30

858
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,760
seconds, 30 seconds to a minute,

859
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,120
so, so powerful. But I

860
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,800
think we take it for granted because it's

861
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,440
something that's so simple, but really

862
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,520
and it's it's free. It's literally

863
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,400
free. All you got to do is breathe in and

864
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,160
breathe out. Maybe put on a some music

865
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,240
that you love just to just to let you

866
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,320
settle in just a little more, I think is

867
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,800
so, so impactful. That's what I do. If I

868
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,840
only have a couple minutes, I just put on

869
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,440
a song that really that I just love and I

870
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,280
just breathe in through my nose, out

871
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,120
through my mouth and you just keep that

872
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,880
cycle of breath going. It's that inhale,

873
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,560
exhale, inhale, exhale, not, you know,

874
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,880
you're not holding it, you're just

875
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,080
constantly in and out. Cause I think

876
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,600
that's another thing too, is people hold

877
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,000
their breath and they don't even realize

878
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
it. A lot of times, especially when you

879
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,280
start doing the breath work, you're like,

880
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,880
oh gosh, I think maybe I've been holding

881
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,680
my breath or we don't

882
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,920
actually take full deep breaths into our

883
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,640
body because of how we sit. Like how many

884
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,360
people sit over a computer all day or

885
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,640
we take our cell phones and our cell

886
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,040
phones, we're, you know, our heads down,

887
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,120
we're on our cell phone like we're not.

888
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,960
We're not utilizing our full lung

889
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,960
capacity because we are sitting hunched

890
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,960
over. So even just that,

891
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,600
another thing, breathing into your belly.

892
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,320
So this one is a little harder for

893
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,120
people, especially because somewhere

894
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,520
along the way we learned how we forgot

895
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,360
how to breathe into our belly. So if

896
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,600
you've seen a little baby when they after

897
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,440
they've been born, their little belly is

898
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,960
like up and down, up and down, super,

899
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,960
super fast. And then I

900
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,680
don't know, I've looked up research and I

901
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,040
cannot find anything. So I don't know at

902
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,360
what age we lose that or we don't breathe

903
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,680
into our belly well, but

904
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,080
if you breathe into your belly, so it's

905
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,920
just taking a breath. And even if you can

906
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,480
put your hand on your chest and on your

907
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,840
belly and just try to feel into it, but

908
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,520
just breathe into your belly and it's

909
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,000
almost like your hand is pushing your

910
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,200
belly away as you are breathing.

911
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,1000
And then filling your whole lung space up

912
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,360
too. So now we're utilizing our full lung

913
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,880
capacity. Now you're using your

914
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,000
diaphragm. You're getting into the base

915
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,200
of your lungs, which we sometimes don't

916
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,160
use. So if we're not, if we're not

917
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,120
expanding that muscle, it's not being

918
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,960
used. It's just gonna stay, just gonna

919
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,600
atrophy. It's not gonna do anything. So

920
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,280
if we can, if we can learn to breathe

921
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,160
into our belly, like that's something if

922
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,320
you want to try it at home, even if

923
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,480
you're sitting at your desk. Just for,

924
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,920
you know, a couple minutes every day,

925
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,520
just be like, OK, let me try breathing

926
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,280
into my belly, seeing if I can do that.

927
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,120
Like that was one of my first things that

928
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,640
I really tried to lean into when I was

929
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,560
doing breath work and then breathing

930
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,120
through your nose. So we have little

931
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,920
hairs in our nose that are really

932
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,160
important to prevent

933
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,520
bacteria, infections, things getting into

934
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,400
your body. So if you breathe through your

935
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,800
mouth, you're you're breathing all of

936
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,120
that and there's no filter. So breathing

937
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,360
your nose. There's actually this really

938
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,680
great book. I think it's just called

939
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,200
Breath or Breathe by James

940
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,760
Nestor. He has a lot of

941
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,160
not surveys like a

942
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,560
oh, I'm forgetting the word that he does,

943
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,600
but he he has people and

944
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,920
he brings them all in and he does like

945
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,040
trials on them

946
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,520
and. He will have them breathe through

947
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,840
their nose or then he has people like

948
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,040
breathe through their mouth. And he

949
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,760
really showed and there were studies done

950
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,240
that breathing through your nose has

951
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,520
really impacted people's physical health,

952
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,040
like when they started breathing through

953
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,400
their nose instead. So if you've seen the

954
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,080
mouth tape, that's like a thing of going

955
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480
around or like a chin strap to keep your

956
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,080
mouth closed at night when you sleep.

957
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,840
Super powerful. The the one guy

958
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,680
in the book actually reversed his sleep

959
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,480
apnea and reversed his high blood

960
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,320
pressure. Like there's so many different

961
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,640
he was able to heal in his body because

962
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,880
he just started breathing through his

963
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,760
nose instead of his mouth. So it's

964
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,600
simple things like this that that we

965
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,080
just don't know about. And now now that I

966
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,600
do know about him, I'm like, why is

967
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,600
nobody talking about this?Why were we not

968
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,680
taught this?Like I even went to nursing

969
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,160
school. I'm like, why are we not taught

970
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,680
to breathe through our nose?Why are we

971
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,360
not taught to breathe into our belly?Why

972
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,280
are we not taught just to sit and breathe?

973
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,400
And so those I think are like the biggest

974
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,560
takeaways for me that you could start

975
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,640
implementing in your life right now. That

976
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,440
would be super, super beneficial. There's

977
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,840
also one other like a breath pattern.

978
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,320
It's called the box breath and they use

979
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,400
this in NASA when they're training their

980
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,720
like. People that are going to go to

981
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:07,000
space or or whatever they're doing,

982
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,160
because you have to be prepared for high

983
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,600
stress. If something goes wrong, you have

984
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,640
to be able to breathe out of it so that

985
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,280
you can keep yourself in this regulated

986
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,160
state. And so the box breath

987
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,400
is it's literally just creating a box. So

988
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,160
you start with your inhale and you count

989
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,000
to four while you're drawing your line

990
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,520
up. So it's inhaling for 1

991
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,480
234 while you're while

992
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,480
you're drawing this box. And then you're

993
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,640
holding for four while you draw the line

994
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,280
across the box, and then you

995
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,160
exhale for four while you are drawing

996
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,040
down the box, and then you hold for

997
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,120
four to complete the box. So you're

998
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,280
creating this box shape. So you're you're

999
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,720
thinking about the box, you're thinking

1000
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:49,720
about creating it, you're thinking about

1001
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:51,960
your breath, and then you're counting all

1002
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,160
at the same time. So it's a really great

1003
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,360
tool to get you out of your mind, like if

1004
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,200
you are panicky, if you're feeling. Like,

1005
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,040
Oh my gosh, I just need to regulate here.

1006
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,400
I'm just so out of control. If you can

1007
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,560
find something that you can count, like

1008
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,800
you're counting, you're visualizing while

1009
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,320
you're doing it, and you're breathing

1010
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,560
into it at the same time. Super, super

1011
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,240
powerful to get you out of that, like,

1012
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:14,240
activated state.

1013
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,080
Yeah, and that's a big one

1014
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,040
for a lot of people with

1015
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,320
anxiety is to really the

1016
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,760
visual and focusing on something

1017
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,360
different. Since

1018
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,600
COVID, I've always had my anxiety is

1019
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,400
always heightened, so breathing was the

1020
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880
first thing that really got me past that.

1021
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,160
And that the one I love the most is

1022
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,440
breathing in the belly, I have to say,

1023
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,640
is because then I focus on the belly

1024
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,800
going up and the lungs expanding.

1025
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,840
It's another visual thing of mine that

1026
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,800
keeps me going and just

1027
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:53,160
calming down.

1028
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,160
And then you really learn, like, how

1029
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,440
big your lungs are. We're just so used to

1030
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,080
doing these small breaths all day that

1031
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,960
when I sit down and I do this, I was

1032
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,040
like, whoa, my lungs are actually pretty

1033
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,920
big. Yeah. I mean,

1034
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,320
he even did a capacity, like lung

1035
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,080
capacity in this book that I was telling

1036
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,240
you about. I think it's called like the

1037
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:19,720
velocity or something in your lungs.

1038
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,120
He has it all in there, but. The the

1039
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,960
capacity of the the people that were in

1040
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,360
the study, I think that's the word I was

1041
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,400
looking for was study the capacity that

1042
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,800
they had prior to doing these exercises

1043
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,280
and then after was, I mean that was

1044
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,040
enough in and of itself to be like, wow,

1045
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,920
like just practicing using your breath is

1046
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,240
so beneficial to your body, to your

1047
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:43,800
healing and not just your

1048
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,400
breath, but like the fact when we sit and

1049
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,160
allow ourselves the stillness. Where we

1050
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,040
activate our parasympathetic nervous

1051
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,520
system, that rest and digest nervous

1052
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,920
system that most of us only use when

1053
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,120
we're sleeping because that's the only

1054
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,680
time that we're actually resting.

1055
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,840
And for some people, they can't even do

1056
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,760
that. So you know, if you

1057
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,000
ever, if you've ever gotten a cold and

1058
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:07,880
people are like, oh, you just need to

1059
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,720
rest, well, there's a reason that people

1060
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,400
say that is because when you rest, your

1061
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,960
body can heal. So when we get into these

1062
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,560
patterns of trying to allow our body to

1063
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,080
be still, I call it the power of the

1064
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,920
pause. When you take that power of the

1065
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,560
pause, you're allowing your body to

1066
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,000
heal. You're giving your body this time

1067
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880
and space to just take some moments to

1068
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,480
heal. And if you think about, like, let's

1069
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,520
say you have a spot that's been really

1070
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,120
bothering you. So you're like, OK, I'm

1071
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,840
just gonna sit here for a minute. I'm

1072
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,640
gonna focus on that spot. I'm gonna

1073
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,280
breathe into it. So now our thoughts are

1074
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,280
going there. So our blood is flowing

1075
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,760
there now because where our thoughts go,

1076
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,800
that's where our blood flows. And now our

1077
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,240
breath is flowing there because we're

1078
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:48,880
thinking about that. Our blood is flowing

1079
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,880
there. Our breath is flowing there. So if

1080
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,680
we just take that time to focus on our

1081
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,560
body, we can heal parts of our body

1082
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,480
just by being still and resting. Like

1083
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,840
it's just, it's so beautiful and there's

1084
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,560
so much science behind it. So it's not

1085
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,480
that what I'm doing here, cause at first

1086
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,720
when I started doing this work,

1087
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:07,720
especially in my community and and people

1088
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,480
close to me, it was like. You're going

1089
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,560
crazy. This this is like going off the

1090
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,320
deep end here. But really, there's so

1091
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,640
much science behind it. It is not.

1092
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,440
It's not just this crazy modality that

1093
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,720
people are just making up all of a

1094
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:22,680
sudden. It's it's true work of the body

1095
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,880
that we just, I think, forgot. I think

1096
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,400
we've gotten so busy. Technology has

1097
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,200
become such a thing that we've forgotten

1098
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,080
the deep ancient practices that have been

1099
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,960
so beneficial to our ancestors before us.

1100
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,320
And so if we can just lean into that a

1101
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,960
little bit, like there's so much beauty

1102
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,480
there if we are open to it.

1103
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,520
Yeah. And I love that you brought up the

1104
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,000
body needs rest because the

1105
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,800
society is so go, go, go. There

1106
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,520
are days, especially on the weekends,

1107
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,880
cause I've worked a whole week where my

1108
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,760
like Saturday is just my rest day.

1109
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,440
Sometimes it's it was mostly Sunday, but

1110
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,240
recently it's been more Saturday and I

1111
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:05,880
just allow myself to rest.

1112
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,840
Don't do any to-do lists. I'm a very big

1113
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,840
to-do list person. And I'm just like,

1114
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,760
Nope, my body just needs rest.

1115
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,280
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with

1116
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,640
having a rest day.

1117
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,960
Yeah. And I feel like some people just

1118
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,880
need to hear that, that you don't have to

1119
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,680
have an agenda every single day. A

1120
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,400
rest day is OK

1121
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,160
and your body just needs it and your

1122
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,680
body's going to thank you for it later.

1123
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,360
Yeah. Yeah, I think we're one of the

1124
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,320
and allow for the rest. I mean if you

1125
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,400
go to Europe, they literally have like

1126
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,880
nap times, they have tea times, they have

1127
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,600
nap times like they they get it. They

1128
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,560
know that being high go, go, go all the

1129
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,120
time is not is not productive all the

1130
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,680
time. Like sometimes the rest

1131
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,360
is more productive than the doing and

1132
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,720
going. Like sometimes just being

1133
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,080
is super productive because. You could

1134
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,280
sit and be like, OK, I've got this

1135
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,040
project I need to do. And so you're like

1136
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,800
trying to cram it all in and but your

1137
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,760
brain is like overwhelmed with all the

1138
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,040
5000 other things you need to do. And so

1139
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,680
this could take you 5 hours to do. But if

1140
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,960
you allowed yourself to sit and rest and

1141
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,520
be with your breath for a little bit,

1142
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,880
sometimes it can drop in like the snap of

1143
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,040
a finger and you could have that thing

1144
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,840
done in 20 minutes. But we have to

1145
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,440
allow ourself that rest first, which

1146
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,000
sometimes seems counterproductive.

1147
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,720
But truly, it really, it really is

1148
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,560
productive. But we just have to allow

1149
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,440
ourselves to lean into that. So

1150
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,840
yeah, yeah. And what Spirit's bringing

1151
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,680
through is that if stillness doesn't

1152
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,960
appeal to you, but you like the breath

1153
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,120
work part, you could do a walking

1154
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,000
meditation where whatever step you

1155
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,480
take, I don't remember if it's a breath

1156
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,200
in or a breath out, but there's science

1157
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,000
saying whatever foot you put down is

1158
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,760
supposed to be a certain breath in or

1159
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,720
out. When we do

1160
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,920
Kundalini, we inhale to the left and we

1161
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,640
exhale to the right. So I'm wondering if

1162
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,520
that is, if that could be it. Oh, maybe.

1163
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,200
Yeah. So that's actually a perfect

1164
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,160
segue into Kundalini. Can you just talk a

1165
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,720
little bit about that before we wrap up

1166
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:18,680
the episode?Yeah. So

1167
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,840
I did briefly mention like the Kundalini

1168
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,320
energy inside of you is this

1169
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,800
Shakti energy or the divine feminine

1170
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,680
energy. We all have it. It is.

1171
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,600
Sometimes it's just dormant because we

1172
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,840
haven't utilized, like we're constantly

1173
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,880
going in our society and we don't pay

1174
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,560
attention to our body. So we're not using

1175
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:37,880
this energy. So it's just sitting there

1176
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,760
dormant. And So what I

1177
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,400
was trained in is Kundalini yoga. And so

1178
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,080
that is the actual movements and

1179
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,000
acts of utilizing this Kundalini energy

1180
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,320
that we have and so.

1181
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,440
Also, this like divine feminine energy is

1182
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,680
like the birth giver. It is like

1183
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,640
literally the energy that you birth. It

1184
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,080
is literally the energy of creation.

1185
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,400
So if you've got like big dreams and

1186
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,160
desires and projects and things that you

1187
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,440
want to do, it's not just birthing

1188
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,960
physical life. It is birthing your

1189
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,000
dreams, your desires, like all of it. So

1190
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,200
it is a really powerful energy to tap

1191
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,080
into and so the.

1192
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,560
The activations and the things that I do

1193
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,960
is warming up the spine. So we do some

1194
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,280
movements to warm up the spine to really

1195
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,160
get the body and the energy flowing so

1196
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,480
that we can utilize the energy. And then

1197
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,160
there's different, it's called Kriyas,

1198
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,720
which are kind of where you would put

1199
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,480
your hands in certain positions. So we've

1200
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,480
got, we've got pressure points on our

1201
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,880
hands. So if you've ever had

1202
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,920
like acu, there's acupuncture, there's

1203
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,680
acupressure, which is. And on our

1204
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,000
hands, there's basically the chakras,

1205
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,680
different parts of our body if we just

1206
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,480
certain like touch and you put pressure

1207
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,840
on certain parts. So same with Kundalini,

1208
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,320
like if you touch certain parts and then

1209
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,280
you do mudras, mudras are the

1210
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,640
hand placements that you put your hands.

1211
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:02,200
The kriya is the act of doing the the

1212
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,680
movement, the meditation and the mudras

1213
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,520
all together. And then there's mantras

1214
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,640
that they will do so sometimes. There's

1215
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,240
some practices where you just sit in

1216
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:13,360
silence. There's some where you are just

1217
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,240
listening to music and there's some where

1218
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:17,400
you are chanting like a mantra.

1219
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,680
And so those are, there's a bunch. I

1220
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,280
mean, if you look up Kundalini, there's

1221
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,320
so many different practices that you can

1222
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,120
do. So I have gone

1223
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,840
through like a traditional training where

1224
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,440
it's called a sadhana where you take like

1225
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,080
40 days and you get up like at 3:30 in

1226
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,360
the morning. And you do this practice and

1227
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,120
you do it before the sun comes up. So

1228
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,760
it's like as you are finishing, the sun

1229
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,520
is rising and then you start your day.

1230
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,280
And so in order to learn all about

1231
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,640
it, like we had to do this 40 day

1232
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,480
practice just to know like what

1233
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,280
traditional Kundalini is. So

1234
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,040
if you've heard of Kundalini, those of

1235
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,720
you that are listening, a lot of times

1236
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:55,880
it's people wearing white, they're

1237
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,320
they're all in white and that they're

1238
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,280
very strict on their practices. My take

1239
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,360
on it is a little more modern because I

1240
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,520
feel like we are living in a more modern

1241
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,360
era and for me it

1242
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,480
just didn't work. Like always getting up

1243
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,240
at 3:30 in the morning, like that just is

1244
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:14,200
not for me. So later in the day.

1245
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,760
And sometimes I don't do it until the end

1246
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,320
of the day and there are some days that I

1247
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,920
don't do it at all, but it is really

1248
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,160
great to do the practices, you know,

1249
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,880
every day, obviously. There's some they

1250
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,320
say like if you're gonna practice a

1251
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,560
Kriya, like do it for 40 days cause it is

1252
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,360
really great. I mean there's there's all

1253
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:30,680
sorts of different ones, one for

1254
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,400
releasing anger, one for releasing fear.

1255
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,920
My one of my favorites is overcoming

1256
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,400
limitations and they're just super, super

1257
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,680
great at helping you

1258
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,000
release stuck and stored energy in the

1259
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,520
body, releasing so that you can bring

1260
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,760
forth this energy for creation. So it's

1261
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,520
just a really beautiful practice and I

1262
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,080
love. Bringing it in, but then putting my

1263
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,160
twist on it because everything that I do,

1264
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,640
I feel like in order for me to teach it

1265
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,760
to people, it has to be mine. It has to

1266
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,040
be what feels best for me. And so and

1267
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,120
there's lots of different people that

1268
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,120
teach it, you know, all sorts of

1269
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,400
different ways. But that's just how it

1270
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,120
resonates for me. So that's

1271
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,080
awesome. And yoga is

1272
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,800
another good way to use breath work as

1273
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,200
well. If you're if Kundalini doesn't

1274
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,560
resonate with you, there are other yoga

1275
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,040
practices. That work with the breath

1276
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,480
work. That was one of the first healing

1277
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,040
modalities I dabbled in

1278
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,560
was doing yoga at home. I bought, you

1279
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,360
know, a cheap yoga mat and

1280
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,200
put on Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube.

1281
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,000
And that's how I

1282
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:38,760
that's how I started my practice,

1283
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,760
especially during COVID where my anxiety

1284
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,480
was really high. And

1285
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,280
now learning about Kundalini, I think I

1286
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,680
might add that to my yoga practice. Yeah,

1287
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:50,320
yeah, you should definitely try it out.

1288
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,520
Let me know what you think. I will.

1289
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,400
So I love, love, love this conversation.

1290
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,680
I feel like we could go on for another

1291
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,720
hour, but I got to wrap it up.

1292
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,400
So where can people find you?So what are

1293
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,040
your social media websites and what

1294
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,000
offerings do you have?Yeah, I didn't

1295
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,480
ask you specifically when this is coming

1296
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,560
out, but I have a really awesome, like,

1297
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,240
passion project that I'm working on right

1298
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:15,720
now. It's called The Embodiment.

1299
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,720
And I'm sorry, it's called The Worthiness

1300
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:19,960
Project, embodying your worthy, wild and

1301
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,480
wealthy self. And it's a free summit. I

1302
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,080
know it's like super, super amazing. It's

1303
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,080
a free summit that is on November 1213

1304
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,000
and 14. So and even if you get

1305
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,320
this after the recording is done, you can

1306
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,400
always pop back and and try to check it

1307
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,400
out. But yeah, it's just three

1308
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,320
days full of, like, amazing speakers. And

1309
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:41,640
so that's like a big thing that I'm

1310
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,880
working on right now. But I have a

1311
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,600
website. It's www.jessicajante

1312
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,520
.com. And

1313
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:51,480
then I'm on social media. Facebook and

1314
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,640
Instagram are my two, the ones that I use

1315
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,880
the most. And those are just my name,

1316
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,560
Jessica Jante. That's where you can find

1317
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,040
me on on all the things, basically. So

1318
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,320
yeah, and she also has an

1319
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,360
amazing podcast as well. I want to throw

1320
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,280
that in there. Yes, absolutely I do. It's

1321
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,200
called Soul Deep with Jessica Jante. So

1322
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,920
thank you for reminding me of that. It's

1323
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,800
been a newer. So I'm only on I have like

1324
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,160
14 episodes out I think as of this this

1325
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,520
last week. But that is another passion

1326
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,360
project of mine, just bringing people on

1327
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,160
and having really soul deep like we're

1328
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,480
doing right now, like these deep

1329
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,160
conversations about all sorts of

1330
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,480
different things. Because sometimes,

1331
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,160
especially in like the community that I

1332
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,760
grew up in, like a lot of this stuff

1333
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,320
wasn't available. And so that's why I'm

1334
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,640
creating it is to show, just to show

1335
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,480
people that we that there's another way.

1336
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Like we can have good deep conversations,

1337
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,440
we can learn about all these things and

1338
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,600
it's just to be open-minded. Like that's

1339
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,440
what that's the beauty of it. That's

1340
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,120
fantastic. And I did go on your website

1341
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,480
before we hopped on and I did see a

1342
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,240
couple of services in there. What do you

1343
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:58,040
offer besides the free passion

1344
00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,240
project that you got going on for

1345
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:01,720
November?Yeah, so I do.

1346
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,760
And this is something that I want to to

1347
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,360
revise just a little bit too, because I

1348
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,000
feel like right now I still have breath

1349
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,680
work where you can just do like one-off

1350
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,400
sessions and stuff on there. But my

1351
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,040
real goal is to get it where it's just

1352
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,880
these containers where we're together and

1353
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,560
we're deep diving for, you know, 3-6 or

1354
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,440
12 months where we're really going and

1355
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,680
you are, you know, it's for anybody. I

1356
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,360
typically work with women, but I have

1357
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,600
worked with men before too. But anybody

1358
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,400
who's really, you're looking just to get

1359
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:30,760
out of like, you know, you're made for

1360
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,480
more, you know, you're made for more and

1361
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,000
but you don't exactly know how to get

1362
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,600
there. Maybe you're you feel a little

1363
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,240
stuck or burnt out. Even if you feel like

1364
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:40,440
you're doing what you want to do, we

1365
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,680
might feel stuck and burnt out. Cause

1366
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,480
that happens too, even in our passion.

1367
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,760
So it's really about

1368
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:49,400
finding who you are, what truly lights

1369
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,920
you up inside. Like who?Who do you want

1370
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,320
to be?How do you want to show up in the

1371
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,960
world?Finding those pieces inside

1372
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,200
yourself, those pieces that maybe have

1373
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,200
gotten lost because of societal

1374
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,720
conditioning or because. You tried to act

1375
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:04,440
a certain way or be a certain person for

1376
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,080
your your parents or your spouse, your

1377
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,080
siblings, your friends, whatever it is.

1378
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,000
We sometimes get lost in all of that. And

1379
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,720
So what I love to do is to help people

1380
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:17,640
remember, remember who they were

1381
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,440
before the world told them who they had

1382
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,280
to be. So that's a powerful line

1383
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,600
right there. Just remember

1384
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:26,680
who you are. I mean,

1385
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,600
we don't remember when we came here, what

1386
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,480
our. Purpose. That's the whole purpose of

1387
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,200
coming to Earth is really to figure it

1388
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,160
out. So coming back to yourself

1389
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:40,360
is is amazing.

1390
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,240
Thank you, Jessica, so much. Do you have

1391
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,480
any final words for the audience before

1392
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:48,440
we close it out?

1393
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,360
I can think of. I just want to really

1394
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,920
thank you for allowing me to be here, for

1395
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,800
sharing this space, because I think what

1396
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,280
you are doing is amazing as well and I

1397
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,360
would love to have you on my podcast as

1398
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,160
well. Yeah, just sharing

1399
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,040
your world of the work, your work with

1400
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,840
the world is amazing. And I think

1401
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,600
that's something that I want to share

1402
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,480
with the listeners is that, you know, we

1403
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,560
both started somewhere. We both had to

1404
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,880
start. We both, you know,

1405
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,680
had jobs like you're still in your job. I

1406
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,160
was, you know, left mine, but felt like I

1407
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,960
was stuck for a while. And so

1408
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,720
if you feel like you have something on

1409
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:30,040
your heart that you want to do,Like,

1410
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,080
that's meant for you. That's what I tell

1411
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:33,480
people a lot of times in breath work.

1412
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,280
Like if something comes up, your deepest

1413
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,360
dreams and desires, those oftentimes come

1414
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,320
up in a breath work session. If those are

1415
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,080
coming up for you, that means that you're

1416
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,800
meant to do it. And so really

1417
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,800
leaning into those passions, those

1418
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,160
dreams, and not selling yourself short,

1419
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,040
not being like, Oh no, I couldn't do

1420
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,360
that. I don't have what it takes. Or I,

1421
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,280
you know, that's not me. Maybe they can

1422
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,360
do that, but I can't. I'm here to tell

1423
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,680
you that you can do it. All you have to

1424
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,480
do is believe in yourself. Like

1425
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,200
just take that that first step, that next

1426
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,440
first step, even if it's something small,

1427
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,080
because you can do anything that you any

1428
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,680
dream and desire that you have is is

1429
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,120
yours already. You just have to make the

1430
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,280
choice to make it happen.

1431
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,880
Amazing. I love the way we just closed

1432
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,600
that out. Thank you again, Jessica,
