Speaker: So with all that being said, let's get in for that episode.
Speaker: Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker: So I don't know if you guys remember the episode with Sia Lanu Escuela.
Speaker: She's an Aussie.
Speaker: She's from Australia.
Speaker: She did my podcast a few episodes ago about sacred authenticity and co-creation.
Speaker: We had a phenomenal episode.
Speaker: It was incredible.
Speaker: It was phenomenal.
Speaker: We got a lot of engagement.
Speaker: And her and I connected to such a deep level.
Speaker: Spiritual level, energetic level.
Speaker: And, you know, she just moved to come to L.A.
Speaker: to, you know, feel the frequency of the land here.
Speaker: And I was asking if she could do my cacao ceremony and be someone who could hold space and help me open up and receive whatever I need to receive in a moment.
Speaker: So just give you a little bit of context.
Speaker: What a cacao ceremony is.
Speaker: A cacao ceremony is a spiritual ritual that involves consuming ceremonial gray cacao in a group setting to facilitate connection, healing and self-exploration.
Speaker: It originates from ancient Mayans and Aztec traditions and has gained popularity in modern times with its ability to promote mindfulness and personal growth.
Speaker: So, Sia is not a shaman.
Speaker: She doesn't go by that, but I believe she's a multidimensional healer.
Speaker: She has helped me in so many ways just with her information and awareness.
Speaker: She's on a different level.
Speaker: I would say 5D, the whole level for spirituality and consciousness.
Speaker: So, the intention was on Sunday, March 10th, the day after my birthday, to go to Josh retreat.
Speaker: out here two hours away from LA and do a cacao ceremony.
Speaker: Cacao is more like chocolate, but ceremonial phase is that they pray over it.
Speaker: They set their intentions before they let it grow and build up and put it in the ground.
Speaker: It's just more than just chocolate, right?
Speaker: It has spirit and mama cacao is a spirit, mother spirit that speaks to you, that opens up your heart space.
Speaker: It gives you all the intentions, downloads, spiritual guidance that you might need in that moment.
Speaker: So,
Speaker: We go to Joshua Tree.
Speaker: It's a two-hour drive, a great drive.
Speaker: Sia acknowledged that she spoke to the ancestors of the land in Joshua Tree and if it was okay for us to come, did we have permission?
Speaker: And they were saying they were looking forward to us coming.
Speaker: They've been waiting on us.
Speaker: They're so happy.
Speaker: And I'm really attuned to like my higher self, my spiritual self.
Speaker: I think for years I suppressed that side of me because I didn't think it made sense for the modern world or the mass majority.
Speaker: So I just kind of kept things in.
Speaker: But as I've gotten older, I've just kind of been more open in a different way.
Speaker: Anything that's going to take me higher to my spiritual, you know, soul evolution to help this world and help this humanity grow or raise the frequency, I'm open.
Speaker: So we drive and we're having a good time.
Speaker: We're talking, of course, we're seeing the mountains and on the way there, you know, Sia is teaching me that everything has a consciousness.
Speaker: Like the mountains have a consciousness.
Speaker: It's computer, the soul.
Speaker: Everything is energy.
Speaker: Everything vibrates appropriately.
Speaker: So it has a consciousness.
Speaker: So I'm saying, okay, it's amazing.
Speaker: It made sense for me in that moment.
Speaker: We get there.
Speaker: So as we get there to Joshua Tree, we got to go through not a gate, but an entrance where you got to show your parking pass.
Speaker: Joshua Tree National Park is a big park.
Speaker: Like it's really big out in the desert area of California.
Speaker: So as we're arriving, I start to tear up.
Speaker: I start to cry.
Speaker: Like I could cry now, but I start to cry because I could feel like
Speaker: You know, I think she has said it again, like, yeah, they've been waiting for you.
Speaker: And I was like, I got the hit until it hit.
Speaker: Like, man, they've been waiting for me.
Speaker: I've been in L.A.
Speaker: 13 years and I was supposed to connect with the land and Joshua tree.
Speaker: So it was like a magical moment because at that moment, before we entered, I realized it's real.
Speaker: So we get there, we're driving through, they got all these like archetypes and bricks and rocks and ways where you just go and you can connect with the rocks and connect with the mountains and architecture there, how it looks, you know, you got Hemingway, Echo Tree, they all had different names.
Speaker: And so, of course, it was our first time as well going there.
Speaker: So we drove, just trying to try to fill out, like, where do we want to be?
Speaker: Where do we want to go?
Speaker: She's like, Eric, like, just be aware if something stands out to you, let me know.
Speaker: And that's when we can start our cow ceremony, right?
Speaker: So we go all the way down and we make a look.
Speaker: I said, you know what?
Speaker: I like those orange, brown, bronzy rods back there.
Speaker: I think it's the Hemingway.
Speaker: Can we go over there?
Speaker: So we go back, we park the car and we walk over.
Speaker: So as we in the land space of Joshua Tree at the Hemingway exhibit, call it, she was like, find a spot was called to you, what pulls you in, where you want to go.
Speaker: So I said, okay, I'm very intuitive and inquisitive.
Speaker: So I'm feeling my energy, my spirit is trying to lead me.
Speaker: So then it's like a space.
Speaker: And then it's like, my spirit is like, don't go there, go to the other space.
Speaker: So the other space is kind of hitting, but it's like, you can go behind it, like rocks up between it, right?
Speaker: So I go over there and I see a tree.
Speaker: That's why, this is why I got to do the kakau, so I want you to list the chances tree in the middle of two rocks.
Speaker: So as we approach, we see a young lady and I got my miracle season hoodie.
Speaker: She said, it's miracle season.
Speaker: She's like, oh my God, it's so good.
Speaker: She's beyond the middle of nowhere.
Speaker: Why people would connect?
Speaker: And she just was a beautiful soul and beautiful aura.
Speaker: She was just talking to us and why she came to Joshua Tree.
Speaker: She's just surrendering.
Speaker: She wanted to connect with nature and the land and get closer to God and beautiful soul.
Speaker: She was just such a beautiful spirit.
Speaker: And this is right before we started our cacao signal.
Speaker: So we get there.
Speaker: Now, Sia, she's so tapped in, dialed in.
Speaker: Beautiful spirit.
Speaker: I clouted up to a rock where the tree is like this way.
Speaker: And I was like, I want to do it here.
Speaker: She's like, fine.
Speaker: So we get there.
Speaker: She lay out like her little, almost like a rug or something.
Speaker: And she's like, we got to take our shoes off.
Speaker: We got to plan our foot on a rock.
Speaker: It's like barefoot.
Speaker: We got to connect with the rock, the surface.
Speaker: So we do that and she get to doing her thing, her chanting.
Speaker: She called it like language.
Speaker: She said things and it was like I was in a movie.
Speaker: Like, oh my God, I don't really know what's about to happen.
Speaker: So we had to put like Florida water on us.
Speaker: I think it's like holy water, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker: And you kind of had to breathe it in, breathe it out.
Speaker: Brewing it has a very strong smell.
Speaker: It's really good.
Speaker: We bring it in.
Speaker: So basically what it does is it clears your energy within yourself, clears your third eye, opens you up.
Speaker: And then you throw it over your face and then, whoa.
Speaker: And then we get there.
Speaker: I think she gave me some tobacco to like put on my hand and kind of like set my intentions on where I want to kind of open up to or what kind of I want to experience.
Speaker: And then like you give an offering and you just say thank you and set you gratitude.
Speaker: And then boom, here comes the cacao.
Speaker: It's nice and hot.
Speaker: It tastes like hot chocolate, like hot cocoa.
Speaker: It's really good.
Speaker: So before I got to kind of talk to it, say thank you, set my intentions again, my gratitude for to really open my heart space up because this is a heart medicine.
Speaker: It opens up your heart so you can connect back to self.
Speaker: So I did that a few times before I drank it.
Speaker: I really made sure I was sacred with it and very wholesome and very just delicate and like loved it.
Speaker: Like it's mama cacao.
Speaker: It's a spirit.
Speaker: Like be good to it.
Speaker: So I get to drinking.
Speaker: You know, it's just like drinking hot cocoa.
Speaker: So I'm like, I'm thinking something crazy is going to happen.
Speaker: So, you know, Sia was telling me that you have to sit with it.
Speaker: It takes time.
Speaker: So anytime you want to bring spirit more into you, take a deep breath.
Speaker: Let it come through you.
Speaker: Let the mom and cacao work through you.
Speaker: Let it come through you and show you the way, give you the way.
Speaker: She said, I feel like you need a little heavy dosage.
Speaker: You have a strong vibration.
Speaker: So she pours some more in and I'm drinking and I'm feeling good.
Speaker: And prior to coming, her and I had a photo and a video.
Speaker: And I'm looking at it and just sitting there and just really present.
Speaker: First time I'm really, really present because I'm just sitting with the cacao.
Speaker: Sia's just holding over their old space.
Speaker: She's not saying anything.
Speaker: And by the way, she's telling me things are coming up and I'm speaking it out.
Speaker: I had my journal right down comes out.
Speaker: So mind you, I look at the photo.
Speaker: It is her and I, and I'm just like, something hit my heart.
Speaker: And I was just like, all I could think about was, wow, this woman was really brought into my life to really help me trust people.
Speaker: And a channel thought that came through was that
Speaker: Sia is a representation of someone who truly wants to help me and not want anything from me.
Speaker: And I felt that in that moment.
Speaker: I started to cry.
Speaker: Tears coming out.
Speaker: Because it's been a tough journey in my life to trust people from a young age to a young man to a grown man.
Speaker: Especially like being visible, being a public figure, being on national TV.
Speaker: You get all these energy vampires that people come into your life.
Speaker: They want to be a part of it.
Speaker: They want to see what they can get from you.
Speaker: Like it's been a whirling.
Speaker: And last year I had to let go of some very, very intimate, personal, tough relationships that hit my heart.
Speaker: I was telling C, I said, I'd never told this, but I had like this heart in it around my heart.
Speaker: Like it was hard.
Speaker: Like feeling it like hurt.
Speaker: And, you know, I've continued to drink the cacao and I'm like, man, it's not hard no more.
Speaker: Like whatever that was.
Speaker: And what spirit was telling me was that that was the blockage over my heart because I was afraid to trust again, right?
Speaker: Trust people.
Speaker: And not only trust people, trust the universe, trust God, trust higher power.
Speaker: That's what mama cacao was working through me.
Speaker: So we drink it and we drink it.
Speaker: And let me tell you something.
Speaker: I mean, downloads were just coming so fast.
Speaker: You know, it's like, whoa, baby, coming in, coming in.
Speaker: And, you know, I was discovering like my purpose here on earth, what I'm here to do, why I'm here, who is who, what is what.
Speaker: And it just like expanded and really, really opened up my third eye, really allowed me to really see my true spiritual gifts, see my power.
Speaker: And it was just a magical experience.
Speaker: And so
Speaker: We left that location at exhibit.
Speaker: By the way, I found out a few days after that that where we were sitting was a heart.
Speaker: It was like a heart shape.
Speaker: And we were kind of in the middle of it.
Speaker: So it was so interesting that all that happened in the middle of a heart sculpture of an exhibit that you only could see if you could see it, right?
Speaker: So we leave.
Speaker: We go to another location.
Speaker: We drink a little bit more cacao.
Speaker: She said...
Speaker: Stay present with the cacao as we walk and as we go to you, just listen to what you're going to get more thoughts.
Speaker: So we went to another one across the way.
Speaker: She's like, I feel like you got to put your left and your right hand on this rock as well as your heart and your third eye to heal your masculine and your feminine and open up you up more.
Speaker: So she would have me like go to rocks and put like my third eye, my heart on it and my hands and just hold it there for like taking the energy of the land, taking the energy of the rock.
Speaker: And really feel through it and allow it to heal me in a way.
Speaker: I'm like, wow, that's fascinating.
Speaker: I kind of like that.
Speaker: So we did that.
Speaker: It was incredible.
Speaker: It was phenomenal.
Speaker: And then we go on and we get to another sculpture, another exhibit.
Speaker: And we just sit there.
Speaker: And as we're sitting there, we're having some more cacao.
Speaker: And this time, we just kind of just, we're in that space, we're in that vibration, we're in that portal.
Speaker: things just start coming to me about life i understand this life understand the matrix understand what i'm here to do i understand why so many people live in fear and next thing you know we see a big old rainbow how about in the middle like like a sun it was like the sun and then the rainbow was around it the sun was like in the middle of it and her thing is the rainbow tablets she has two books out
Speaker: She channels all her books.
Speaker: Go to her website.
Speaker: I'll put her information in the show notes as well.
Speaker: Ciel, I knew, Escuela.
Speaker: I'll tag her as well so you guys get to know it.
Speaker: But there's a thing, Rainbow Tablet.
Speaker: We would just sit in the afternoon.
Speaker: We just kept seeing rainbows.
Speaker: Like, what?
Speaker: I'm like, Ciel, what are you doing?
Speaker: You got superpowers.
Speaker: So to make a long story short, we just talked about the remembering of we came back to this earth realm to remind ourselves who we are, to remember.
Speaker: The world has programmed us to forget who we are.
Speaker: So it's so easy for us to give our power away to social media, power away to what our parents think, power away to the government, power away to mass media.
Speaker: We just constantly giving our power away.
Speaker: And what that does is it allowed fear to come into our frequency.
Speaker: And then fear becomes us.
Speaker: And now we're just on point every little moment.
Speaker: We're afraid to go, you know, because we're not remembering who we are, our power, our true power.
Speaker: We are power rangers.
Speaker: We are co-creators.
Speaker: We are abundant.
Speaker: We are whole.
Speaker: We're complete.
Speaker: And we got to get our power back.
Speaker: But if you don't know, you don't know.
Speaker: And this is just opening up.
Speaker: So I leave that space for a moment and I had to use the bathroom.
Speaker: So I go to the bathroom, I come back.
Speaker: And as I'm leaving the bathroom, like the mom of the couch, the spirit is talking to me like, you just released all the fear from your body.
Speaker: Like, the cacao opened me up so much to get all the downloads and the truth to come through.
Speaker: And it's like when I went to the bathroom, I just released all the fear from my body.
Speaker: Like, all the fear was just gone.
Speaker: Like, I have no more fear.
Speaker: Like, shit, there's no more fear.
Speaker: There's nothing to fear, right?
Speaker: I was like, wow, this is fascinating.
Speaker: And you just feel happy, feel jubilant.
Speaker: You just feel like just a grace, a gratitude.
Speaker: You feel so grateful for life.
Speaker: And that was the first time in my life I was fully present.
Speaker: Why I didn't think about time.
Speaker: I didn't think about what I had to do, what I wasn't doing.
Speaker: And Sia would say, when you're fully present, you can see through the illusions of life.
Speaker: I was like,
Speaker: That's incredible, right?
Speaker: We just had a magical day.
Speaker: And then at the end, we had to drive to the Mojave Desert.
Speaker: And I was tired.
Speaker: We got there at 10.
Speaker: It was like 4.13, 4 o'clock maybe.
Speaker: We wanted to leave at like 4.30.
Speaker: It probably took like 30 minutes to get to the Mojave Desert, like at least where it meets.
Speaker: The two deserts meet in the middle.
Speaker: So I go out there, see it like a move.
Speaker: We got to go.
Speaker: It's the pilgrimage.
Speaker: It's the sacrifice.
Speaker: You got to do the things you don't want to do.
Speaker: So drive all the way 30, 35 minutes that way.
Speaker: We get out.
Speaker: She's like, okay, connect with your ancestors here.
Speaker: See what they want you to receive.
Speaker: What are you willing to give?
Speaker: To people who are ancestors, we all have ancestors based on our bloodline, DNA, where we come from, from past, past lives.
Speaker: Also, each place, location, land has ancestors that were here before time.
Speaker: It's all within the spiritual realm and you connect with your ancestors, just like people connect with people who've transitioned and passed away.
Speaker: It's just a little deeper, but
Speaker: So he said, connect with the ancestors here.
Speaker: See what you're here to learn.
Speaker: And I stooped down and I'm, you know, taking a deep breath and just talking through it, speaking the spirit.
Speaker: And two words kept coming up.
Speaker: Love, power, love, power, love, power, love, power.
Speaker: And then it was telling me like, the more I love myself, the more we love ourselves, the more power we get.
Speaker: So that's why it's so key to have self-love and love yourself because the more you love yourself, the more power we get, right?
Speaker: So what we do, what I know I've been doing in my life, I would love myself, but I would give my power away.
Speaker: To people, to things, to friends, family.
Speaker: And the reason we do it, the reason I was doing it, is because I'm afraid of my power.
Speaker: So as I'm about to get up, we see a hummingbird fly through.
Speaker: She's like, oh my God, a hummingbird represents, I think, a rebirth transformation.
Speaker: I'll put that in the show notes, but
Speaker: Can't quite remember what it means, but it was a sign, a spiritual sign, a symbol.
Speaker: And then she had some tobacco.
Speaker: I forgot the name of it.
Speaker: She kind of like blew up my third eye, blew up my throat chakra.
Speaker: She blew up my throat chakra.
Speaker: Just like all these visions came down that I was able to see and I was getting a crown.
Speaker: Like it was like I was getting crowned.
Speaker: Like I was becoming a king and basically what it represents was that me fully stepping into my power, no resistance with no fear because remember the fear is gone and my uncle Kyle was like all the contrast that you experienced and all the negativity and all the challenges of last year and everything he was going against was to trick you, to distract you, to get you into your power.
Speaker: And that's why I took you to a dark night of the soul.
Speaker: People who are listening to my podcast know about that episode.
Speaker: And boom, here we are in the middle of the No Javi Desert.
Speaker: There's nobody there.
Speaker: It's her or not.
Speaker: And it felt like I ended the movie with the credits came on.
Speaker: I got my crown and music started playing and you leave.
Speaker: And it was just a credulous, phenomenal, fulfilling experience.
Speaker: Changed my life and I'll forever change.
Speaker: I see who I am.
Speaker: I know who I am.
Speaker: I know what I'm here to do.
Speaker: And I'm just going to help humanity heal, evolve and transform through the power of my frequency, my voice.
Speaker: physicality, what I know, what I'm here to do.
Speaker: So it was a beautiful call from Mama Cacao and spirit and angels and ancestors.
Speaker: And I'm truly grateful.
Speaker: It was a great day.
Speaker: Probably one of the best families I ever had in my life.
Speaker: Probably one of the best birthdays I've ever had.
Speaker: And I'll never forget.
Speaker: Sia is an incredible soul.
Speaker: She was called to help me get to this dimension and this higher realm.
Speaker: And now I see myself and now I hold back my spiritual powers and what I know I've always had, you know, but here we are.
Speaker: So this episode was dedicated to anyone.
Speaker: want to go to a different journey in life, a higher realm, and to look up cacao ceremonies.
Speaker: You can do it at home.
Speaker: Most people do it in a group setting, but tap into your spiritual powers, your soul powers, and understand what your soul purpose is because sometimes books and meditation and prayer or even religion might not be strong enough to open you up and plant medicine is, and this cacao is not psychedelic.
Speaker: I feel like it's a way to open you up even more to get to the deep, really truth that you hold in your vibration, you hold in your vessel, you hold in your body.
Speaker: So no more fear, people.
Speaker: Be who you are.
Speaker: Get to know who you are and face your challenges.
Speaker: It's not easy because it took a lot of pain for me to get to that moment.
Speaker: What I'm so grateful for, and I always say miracles don't come easy, but they're worth it.
Speaker: And I got crowned my miracle in this season, that time.
Speaker: Here I am on the other side of the cross-toe and higher realm, and so grateful, so appreciative of life, people, places, things.
Speaker: Shout out to beautiful land and access of Joshua Tree.
Speaker: Just honored.
Speaker: And Mama Cacao, she blessed and changed my life in that moment.
Speaker: And that's all, people.
Speaker: Normally, this episode changes you in a way, make you think a little bit more about where you're at, where you want to go, and you feel truly inspired.
Speaker: I'm here to share my gifts, my wisdoms, my teachings and experiences to help you grow and become a better you for you.
Speaker: That's me and for the world.
Speaker: So the more we raise our vibration, the more lifted we are, the more gifted we become, the more everyone can become more.
Speaker: Because it's all
Speaker: We're all collectors.
Speaker: We're all connected.
Speaker: We're all one.
Speaker: So that's all I said.
Speaker: That's it.
