Introduction to The Pathless Path

00:00:00
Speaker
You're listening to The Pathless Path. We're two women figuring it out as we go. This isn't about perfection. It's about staying rooted in truth, not trance, and having the conversations most people avoid.

Recognizing Spiritual Signs

00:00:15
Speaker
hi guys, welcome back to The Pathless Path. In today's episode, we are going to talk about five signs that you're more spiritual than you realize. We often think spirituality only shows up in big moments, retreats, visions, epic breakthroughs.
00:00:36
Speaker
But what if it's hiding in plain sight? Today, we'll walk you through five subtle clues that you're already on a spiritual path, even if it doesn't feel dramatic.

Everyday Spiritual Moments

00:00:47
Speaker
So what's one everyday moment, Naya, that you've had felt like magical, like it was magical, but you just...
00:00:57
Speaker
kind of shrugged it off. You didn't think much of it. So yeah, I've had an everyday moment and actually, interestingly enough, it was a connection to my teas.
00:01:09
Speaker
i I drink tea so much for years without realizing today, because I work with sacred medicine now and with herbs and teas, and I'm really realizing that that teas are actually part of my sacred magical ritual how about you for me i think like looking back on something that had happened like it's always something nature-based I think with me there was one time i was at the community pool with one of my friends very slow day no one around us
00:01:54
Speaker
and we're hanging out by the pool, we're waiting around in the water. And there was, i don't know, I guess it would be considered a swarm.
00:02:05
Speaker
It was a swarm of dragonflies that flew out, i don't I don't, from like a corner that, from where like we were positioned.
00:02:17
Speaker
And of course me not being on the path that I'm on now, I just kind chalked it up. I'm like, oh great, it's the end of the world, here we go. but you know, like when I look back on it, I'm kind of like, was was like the universe was talking to me like, yes, take this time for yourself, slow down, take it all in, rest, relax.
00:02:44
Speaker
I just, you know, in my
00:02:48
Speaker
sarcastic way that I used to be in that was where my mind went. was like, oh great, I'm gonna like the apocalypse going on and not realizing the connection or remembering, i should say, the connection between dragonflies and myself.
00:03:03
Speaker
Because when my grandfather passed away and we scattered his ashes, mike or i wasn't a around I was still really small, but my grandmother said that it had taken the shape of a dragonfly.
00:03:15
Speaker
And i i totally didn't even look at the connection of the dragonflies and the swarm of dragonflies in that time and really kind of like let it absorb into me, you know? So that would have been like everyday moment that I went, okay. I looked on the sarcastic side and didn't look at what the universe was trying to show me or point me in what direction.
00:03:42
Speaker
What a lesson, huh? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Oh my goodness. It was, it was pretty deep. I can imagine using your sarcasm as a as a mechanism, as a coping mechanism, because, you know, that's also another thing that we do. We're like, yeah, I'm very sarcastic.
00:04:00
Speaker
But you become sarcastic because those are conditioning that we have over time, because you're like, well, if I make somebody laugh, if I'm being sarcastic. Other people won't hurt me. Other people won't do these things. Right. So that's that's just really interesting.

Intuitive Crystal Selection

00:04:16
Speaker
So have you ever woken up with a vivid dream or stumbled into as synchronicity that was so perfect that it stopped you in your tracks?
00:04:29
Speaker
I know like in our discussions, we had like a little chit chat about like different things and stuff. There was this one time, it wasn't like a dream or anything. I was working in the crystal store, you know, which crystal store.
00:04:41
Speaker
And I was having a conversation with my friend, you know, because being on this path, I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. i feel kind of lost, kind of like a, fish out of water. Like, how do I really understand or tap in or is what I'm feeling actually true? Like what experiencing?
00:05:00
Speaker
And a customer came in that day and I was like, oh yeah, we chit chatted. We talked about some stuff that was going on in their life. They were looking for another crystal and I kept going back to this one particular crystal.
00:05:16
Speaker
And i was like, I feel like this is the crystal that you're needing right now. Like we kind of floated around the store and looked at other things and chit chatted, but I kept going back to this one particular crystal.
00:05:29
Speaker
And so they, you know, they purchased it, they left, they said goodbye, everything. They called back into the store a little bit later and asked to speak with me and told me that they had gone home and they had read up on it And there were things medically that she was going through and it was so online. And she's like, I don't know how to say thank you for helping me locate something that I actually needed.
00:05:58
Speaker
Like this is something I've been trying to work on. I didn't know what it was. and I was like, okay. And I didn't know like how to really trust my intuition. So I, you know, chalked it up to it being like a coincidence, but really and truly it's like a synchronicity of not knowing, yeah having that conversation and then it panning out to help somebody else.
00:06:22
Speaker
So that was, it was, it came full circle for me on that day. So I was really happy about that. Was that one of your, was that recent or that was few years ago? Like how far back are we talking about this?
00:06:35
Speaker
That was about, so we graduated two years ago. So I want to say it was about a year and a half ago while I was still working at the crystal store and everything.
00:06:47
Speaker
So yeah, and it it it's recent enough where like me being on that path, like as I started to grow in my career,
00:07:00
Speaker
entrusting my intuition that's that's kind of like how it started to progress and everything how about you o so at the beginning of the question i was like don't know
00:07:18
Speaker
But and then, of course, I've had

Sacred Medicine Journey

00:07:20
Speaker
both. I've had vivid dreams a few times and then I've had many synchronicities and I was trying to think of it. and I was like, oh, my God, what can I tell you?
00:07:29
Speaker
And actually, I'm going to go with as synchronicity that happened in 2023 when my journey with medicine actually started. So back in 2011, I ah had done mushrooms with friends and I had just gotten over a breakup and I took the medicine and I didn't feel anything. i drank it. i ate it. i didn't feel anything with the medicine. And I was told by many people that if you take medicine while you're drinking or if you're taking medicine, at this point, it wasn't medicine. We're just doing it for fun. But if you're taking it for
00:08:06
Speaker
for recreationally then and you're drinking and you're going through a breakup you may not see anything or you may but in my case I didn't see anything and I was like okay cool lesson learned so I never did it again because I was like what's the point I don't feel anything fast forward 2023 I'm well we're in Reiki master program again and i was having a lot of neck and back pain.
00:08:36
Speaker
And I remember feeling like, oh my God, like going to the doctors, doing physical therapy, taking medication on a daily basis, like this, taking, being tested with like MRs and all of those testing. I was like, none of it makes sense. Like, why is this happening to me? I'm on my spiritual journey. Like how and why?
00:08:58
Speaker
And one of our classmates, had mentioned that she was doing a ceremony of combo and that she would think that i would it would help me. And one of our teachers, our Reiki master teacher, had also mentioned about combo.
00:09:13
Speaker
And she knew a facilitator in Florida. And I was like, perfect. Not knowing much about it, but still getting the information from the tour sources or the three sources, including the facilitator. And i was like, OK, cool. Let's try this.
00:09:26
Speaker
I did. And I walked out of there with like, if I knew how to do a backflip, I would have. and And my neck and my back was completely back to normal. My body felt fantastic. And I was like, okay, great.
00:09:42
Speaker
Then at the end of 2023, October 2023, ended up by moving to Mexico. And ayahuasca. And
00:09:51
Speaker
medicine with ay waso um and Fast forward to today, year 2025, and I have deepened so much with sacred medicine.
00:10:07
Speaker
then now I'm like seeing all the patterns and I'm like, oh my God, me drinking my teas, me eating a certain way, me being in this, I've been doing this ritual before I even knew I was supposed to be in medicine because now when they're like pre-ceremonies, you can't eat this, you can't, and I'm like, I don't eat that anyway. So it was like all of these things patterns or all of these things that I noticed. I was like, oh my God, this is perfect.
00:10:32
Speaker
So that's kind of like a synchrony, a heavy and a long time synchronous. I mean, it took from 2011 to 2023 to 2025. I mean, it's taking, it's, it's been layered. So it's not a synchronicity that happened over time, but it did stop me in my track because when I realized, and I was like, oh my God,
00:10:52
Speaker
Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? and the question And the answer is yes, because this is where I'm at today.
00:10:59
Speaker
I love that. i love that. i got like chills when you were telling me about those synchronicities.
00:11:08
Speaker
Speaking about ah synchronicities and me going into like getting chills when you were Telling me about that story.

Body Signals as Spiritual Messages

00:11:16
Speaker
Is there ah like a body signal that you get like a nudge or a flutter in your chest that now you know that's like a sign. It's a message like you've recognized that it's like your body telling you the universe talking to you, spirit talking to you.
00:11:35
Speaker
Yes. So the message that I typically get is i get chills. I get chills and depends some part of my body, my arms, my legs, I get chills on my back, on my spine.
00:11:47
Speaker
So those are like things that like I know. and also just, there's a just clear knowing of, I know, and it's in my gut. And it's just like, I know this without, and I couldn't even explain to you how I know, but I'm listening to it. And every time I've decided to not listen to it,
00:12:04
Speaker
it backfired. My body would be like, I've been telling you this. Why aren't you not listening to me? umma And then later on when it happens, i was like, oh no. So now I just listen to it. I just know what it is.
00:12:17
Speaker
And I recognize the signals. And I definitely go with like the chills could be anywhere really on my body and just inner knowing of myself and my gut.
00:12:32
Speaker
those are my clear messages. How about you? What are your messages? How do you get them? For me, it's, it's kind of like morphed over a time. So I get, I pick up on sense a lot.
00:12:46
Speaker
I'm very sensitive. So like, I know there is a ah certain, i I haven't really figured out exactly which deity comes to me. And I have, I've been trying to like research and find out a little bit more, but I always get, I always smell tobacco when like that particular deity is around me, God is around me, saint is around me that I'm like working with, like I'm in, I'm like in it.
00:13:22
Speaker
um I always smell tobacco and then I always get a sensation down my left shoulder, straight down. It's like this it when I think about it and when I visualize it, it always looks blue, almost like ah like a neon light. That's how I always see it.
00:13:44
Speaker
Whenever I feel the presence and I'm like trying to connect with me, I always get that sensation down my left side and it always looks blue. And then um there's another saint that I normally like channel or work with. And on my right side, it always looks purple.
00:14:06
Speaker
And it's always like a neon. It's always like those flashing neons. um So that's how I, my body kind of ah ah allows me to know what's going on. Like there is something that's happening.
00:14:21
Speaker
um And I get a gut feeling every once in a while, but it's normally scent that triggers me to be like, you need to stop and you need to listen or you need to pay attention to something that's going around.
00:14:36
Speaker
That's normally how my body triggers me because it's, it's not something that is like, if you look around, if I'm like walking around or whatnot, it doesn't, it's not something that you would just pick up. Like it's not a sense like, Oh, okay. Yes.
00:14:51
Speaker
I should smell tobacco right now. There's nobody around me pitch black outside walking the dogs. Yeah. and So then I perk up and I go, okay, hold on. What are we dealing with here?
00:15:04
Speaker
What is the message that am supposed to get? ah do want to add that I have also recently actually, because you said morphed and I was like, oh, I'm like, wait, but I have, since I got back from the desert, which was like three weeks ago, I have been smelling things.
00:15:26
Speaker
ah That has been interesting.
00:15:31
Speaker
I don't know what that means. I haven't got there. It's very new. And
00:15:39
Speaker
I feel that I probably am going to be smelling more of whatever that is. i I've been smelling a lot of perfumes. And the other day I smelled something and I was trying to put a a sense or a feeling to what that smell was. And I couldn't remember what it was, but it's something that was familiar to me.
00:15:58
Speaker
So I don't know. That was one thing. And then also another thing that's kind of like recent, because after I ask you the question and you start to talk, my left ear got clogged. My left ear like started to like, I couldn't hear anything. It's, you know, like they usually say like left ear, somebody is talking bad about you, right ear, somebody like one of those things, right? Like the superstitions or whatever you want to call them.
00:16:23
Speaker
But when you were, when you started to talk, like my left ear was just kind of like, Oh, I was like, I don't know what that means. And that happened a few times before too, where like, it's almost like you got caught in an ear and you can't hear anything that also happened.
00:16:36
Speaker
But yeah, those are new things. Have you looked yours up? Like, what do they mean? Have you, have you like asked about it? Have you like looked them up? Have you got any, like, have you asked you guys? I've had conversations about who is kind of like helping me and trying to connect like the scent that I'm getting. So there are a few of them that are out there that are connected to certain sense. Like I know 100% when I smell roses, I know it's mother Mary that, you know, like I'm working with her energy.
00:17:14
Speaker
So anytime I smell roses, I'm like, Oh, okay. This is what I'm working with. This, this is the person that has come to help me on whatever journey I'm working on right now. When I'm like journaling, meditating, working on myself,
00:17:32
Speaker
I'll get different smells. And I'm like, okay. So every time I have, or I'm like doing a meditation, i do jot it down, like in a book, I'm like, okay, what did this kind of smell like?
00:17:44
Speaker
so but And I need to, you know, like go back and look and say, okay, what saint might be connected to that particular as scent? Cause they're all connected to something.
00:17:56
Speaker
And there are several of them that are connected to the same kind of scent. So it's kind of like, okay, you know, it's a process of elimination, doing different things to kind of figure out, okay, is it this? Is it you?
00:18:10
Speaker
Sometimes I get visions of lotuses and I'm like, okay, what is this supposed to mean?
00:18:18
Speaker
and sometimes you don't get the answers. No, sometimes you don't. And that's what's very annoying sometimes. It's very frustrating. Yeah, because you'll get a clue and you know that clue is like the puzzle to like your your thing like your your growth or your connection to to your spirituality, you know, it means some things, but like, you don't know how and why, again, that's your intuition talking, but like the the clue doesn't make sense. You're like, well, i don't know this. I don't, I don't get this.
00:18:49
Speaker
And then, then years later it comes up and you're like, Oh my God, I knew this. It's that synchronicity. You're like, Oh, there it is.
00:19:00
Speaker
Why did it take you so long to show up? been asking this question for how long? Because your body wasn't ready. You weren't ready to get it. Or they're tricking you. But either way, you weren't ready. It's funny how the spiritual realm works with us. Like, they're tricksters. like Your face.
00:19:20
Speaker
I'm to call them foxes, tricksters.
00:19:26
Speaker
Oh, my goodness. All right, let's go to our next question. When have you felt unexpected wave of kindness or empathy that surprised even you?

Mentorship and Kindness Impact

00:19:40
Speaker
ah And that a loaded question. That is a loaded question.
00:19:49
Speaker
So for a lot of so some of the listeners and everything, I'm still working my nine to five and I'm pretty sure I've brought that up a couple of times at this point. And in in that, in my role, I, that i recently stepped away from, um i was doing mentoring.
00:20:08
Speaker
So I train the like new hires that come in on like the process, the SOP, stuff like that. um And I got a message.
00:20:19
Speaker
just This is so funny that this is this question, because I got a message from one of my mentees or trainees. And they were just like, Kiki, I just wanted to reach out to you and say thank you so much for being a part of my training and how I've helped them along and how I was able to teach them and how like i created such a safe space for them to ask the questions, to find out more, to learn. um That it was also one of the only people, they were outside because they were able to go outside of the office
00:20:57
Speaker
They were outside and they were like, I'm just not feeling really well. And ah it wasn't a busy day. So I told them to take their shoes off and go walk on the grass outside.
00:21:08
Speaker
So it was just one of those things. And they were just so genuine about, you know, being so thankful for it. And I was just sitting there like, I'm not crying at all. I'm not crying.
00:21:21
Speaker
Like, I was like, thanks. That really means a lot because, Sometimes you don't know how you're helping. you You are helping. You are a a person of service and stuff. But you just don't know exactly how you're impacting someone until you kind of get that feedback. And ah that was that was like a lot for me to take in yesterday.
00:21:42
Speaker
How about you?

Shared Experiences in Ceremony

00:21:47
Speaker
Yesterday was a heavy day for me. And what I'm about to talk about, the empathy um is kind of like deep for me. So as we know by now, I was in a ceremony about three weeks ago.
00:22:02
Speaker
So I recently got back from a peyote ceremony in the desert and I was working, which means that like I was working on myself. So to go to a ceremony is is the first step, but then you especially with peyote, you get to see certain things and you decide if you want to work on them in front of the fire or not. That's the way that this shaman does her ceremonies.
00:22:32
Speaker
And I decided on the second day, because we stayed three days in the desert, on the second day of the ceremony, second morning, i they decided to share my story with my family members, my mother and my dad.
00:22:45
Speaker
And I told my stories in front of everybody, well, the people that were still awake, because we were sleeping in the desert. So not everybody was awake, but a lot of people were still there. And that was our first night of ceremony.
00:22:57
Speaker
and I shared my story to my shaman, to these people that were listening in front of the fire and we had worked on it. And it's kind of like doing a constellation, family constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation with the stars.
00:23:16
Speaker
Yes. Stars. Yes. It was like a family constellations that we did in front of the fire with the shaman and all of those people listening. And the next day, we went to this tree in the desert and we gave ofrendas to the tree.
00:23:38
Speaker
these we were all hugging each other. and this girl came up to me and she said to me, she goes, thank you so much for doing the work and for sharing your story. Your story resonated so much with my story.
00:23:53
Speaker
Me thinking, not that I'm the only child and i'm the only person in the world living like this, but me thinking that no one has story like mine. And there you are. i told in front of these people and there is one person that it resonated with. And I was blown away that it made me cry.
00:24:12
Speaker
i was ugly crying because it was such a beautiful thing that she said to me. didn't think that it was something... that people could relate to And then there was ah guy that came up to me and he's like, thank you so much for sharing your story because I am similar to your father. i am dealing as well with, you know, drug addiction.
00:24:39
Speaker
And I was like, whoa, that was so beautiful that essentially two people, you know, came to me and told me this. So that was really, really, really beautiful to to to watch that unfold the way, not just in a ceremony. And if I'm able to do that in a ceremony, what is it that I can do? Like having a podcast and talking about this and having, you know, are my my Instagram account and sharing this. I think it's important because we always think that, oh, our stories don't relate. But yeah, we do. And we can help each other. And this is part of being in the community.
00:25:14
Speaker
And this is what we need. So I feel like it's important to share these kinds of things. Even when we think our stories are silly, it's not. It's not. Just tell your story.
00:25:26
Speaker
tell Tell what you went through because it can help somebody else.
00:25:33
Speaker
And I just want to touch on that too, ah just a little bit, because I think in society, we've been taught to just kind of like shove it down and work on something else.
00:25:45
Speaker
and just keep going and going and going. And this has formed such a disconnect between all of us that we don't know or we don't understand what a sense of community is.
00:25:56
Speaker
And that is, you know, like telling stories. If you think about the elders in in tribes and everything, we everybody learns in that new generation through storytelling.
00:26:08
Speaker
People learn how to heal through that. And that's just something that nobody's talking about it anymore. nobody Nobody's sharing, everybody's just like, they're drowning their emotions they they're drowning all of their emotions with something else and they're adding something else on top of it and never really dealing with it and never really healing and still trying to figure out, well, why is this still happening?
00:26:34
Speaker
And it's because you're not doing the work. Absolutely. Sharing your story is beautiful and I love that. Yeah, I

Authenticity and Spiritual Roots

00:26:42
Speaker
do agree. I feel what the thing is, a I feel like today we're so going back to society, I feel like we're drowning in society drama.
00:26:52
Speaker
We don't need the drama. we need the raw. We need the real. We need the authentic. We need the honest. We need the you. When can you shed that off? Be honest with yourself because you can tell people anything you want and you can be lying to them. And that's fine.
00:27:10
Speaker
Just remember, at the end of the day, you're lying to yourself and that you cannot be on a spiritual growth, my friend. If you are lying, because that will come back and this could be a reason why you're blocked or this could be a reason why your spirituality isn't growing or this could be a million and one reason why this is happening to you.
00:27:31
Speaker
Maybe it's a form of karma. Who knows? But you're doing it to yourself. Just know that the moment you've decided to be true and authentic and raw and and and shed all those layers of you that no longer matters,
00:27:49
Speaker
you're gonna explode into your growth journey. And the other thing too that you mentioned was our elders.
00:28:04
Speaker
That's exactly what my journey is about. It's about reconnecting from our elders, reconnecting from the grandfathers I never got to met to meet because they died before I was born.
00:28:17
Speaker
I had both grandmothers, my Vietnamese grandmother and my Colombian grandmother, but none of them taught me their ways. None of them taught me the Colombian way or the Vietnamese way. And I feel like there's been a huge gap that's been disconnected with my generation.
00:28:35
Speaker
huh And I feel like it's time that we bring this back. It's time that we go back to our roots. It is time that we go back to our lineage. It is time that we go back to where we come from, because when we go back and understand where we come from,
00:28:50
Speaker
We can help us on a collective level to grow this world to be better because we cannot make the world a better place if we are not trying to work on ourselves.
00:29:04
Speaker
And that doesn't mean that you're broken. it just means that everyone has their things going on. But if you're not working on those things and peeling off the layers, it is going to be so difficult to heal the world.
00:29:21
Speaker
And that is the job that we have to do. this This is our mission. This is why you're here. This is why you're listening to this podcast. This is why we are here. is why we created this community. This is why. That is all I wanted to add to what you were saying. I'm sorry it took a little longer, but I wanted to add this in addition because a resonated with what you were saying.
00:29:43
Speaker
yes living in a society that is disconnecting us from our true gifts, our true selves. We are not here. We're not born to go to school. Well, we're not born to essentially go to school for years, get out, go get a nine to five,
00:30:07
Speaker
go to work every day retire, and then die. That is not living your life. That is called imprisonment.
00:30:17
Speaker
It's programming. It's programming. You create your life. You are your author. You are your creator. You are the divine that creates your life. So do it.
00:30:33
Speaker
I got a bunch of chills when I was saying all of this, by the way. I must have been channeling because I was going through this, like channel came through me and I felt, felt on both sides. I was like, Oh my God, my guides are here.
00:30:50
Speaker
me crying. Always. Thank you. They know, they know. i We're like this. Right. but like this What's a small ritual night that you, ah something maybe like,
00:31:05
Speaker
gazing into the sky or lighting a candle or brewing your teas, uh, that brings you that moment of quiet connection.

Personal Rituals and Connection

00:31:16
Speaker
The quiet connection with myself, my spirits, or just disconnected myself from the world. Just connecting yourself from the world and connecting yourself with spirit. I have a lot of them actually.
00:31:29
Speaker
um
00:31:33
Speaker
Sitting down by the beach, stargazing, just being by the ocean really for me or by the water that, well, I live by the ocean and I've lived by the ocean when I was in Florida too.
00:31:44
Speaker
So the ocean has been a good place for me, but it could be any type of water. it could be a river. It could be, you know, um, a cenote here in Mexico. It could be any of those things that really anything anything that's with water related.
00:32:00
Speaker
Then there is the barefoot walking. Then there is walking into the forest, going hiking. Then I have moments of just my meditation moments, my journaling moments, my brewing tea. That's a daily ritual. That is, i do that every single day because I drink tea every day.
00:32:21
Speaker
And then my other thing too is when i really feel, there's two other things that I do. I smoke Mapacho. So Mapacho, for those of you who don't know, who are new to sacred medicine, Mapacho is tobacco, but it comes from the South of America and it's directly the plant. So it has no chemicals as a normal cigarettes.
00:32:47
Speaker
So it is pure. We don't inhale the smoke. It just goes into your mouth and then you release it like you would smoke normally. And that I connect with Mapacho because Mapacho comes from a grandfather, essentially, um,
00:33:05
Speaker
spirit, if we will, it's the abuelos. And i connect a lot with because i don't know any of my abuelos. I haven't never met any of my grandfathers. So I feel very, very, very connected to Mapacho.
00:33:19
Speaker
And the other one that I also do is my ecstatic dance. I love to dance at home. Well, I love to dance at the ecstatic dance place that we go to once or twice a month.
00:33:32
Speaker
But right now, because it's slow season here in Mexico, they are not doing them until October. And I have found that I started to love dancing in my own apartment and just going fully ecstatic in my place, having a playlist of few musics that I'm listening to.
00:33:55
Speaker
and let it go. Just dance for 20, 30 minutes, you know, a week or every other day or something like that has been phenomenal for me. is has really helped me to quiet the noise in my mind when things aren't making sense.
00:34:13
Speaker
Or if I'm working on the computer and then I notice that there's it because most of the time, unless when I'm editing, i have music on my computer. It could be literally about anything. it could be a frequency music. It could be any type of music.
00:34:29
Speaker
And sometimes I'm like called to be like dancing. I'm like, Oh, this song and my body's just going. I'm like, okay, time to pause the work. Let's time it out. Now I need to go and start dancing. And so that's exactly what I do. I'll go in my living room and I just start dancing and it's a great workout.
00:34:46
Speaker
It's a great way to reconnect to my femininity and which is also part of what I'm working on. And it's a great way to
00:34:56
Speaker
just connect with yourself and shut down the mind because you're just flowing with the music that nothing else matters. Nothing. How about you?
00:35:06
Speaker
what What are your connections? What are your rituals? For me, um just like you, Sibrella, I'm very, very thankful that in my community, there's a lake that's not far from my house, just a couple of feet.
00:35:20
Speaker
So I like to go there and just sit. and stare at the wall. And I could be there for five minutes. I could be there for 30 minutes. um I like to do...
00:35:33
Speaker
Our listeners will get a kick out of it. I like to do what I call sunflowering, where I stand with my feet on the ground and I just lift my head up and just bask in it and just feel like, because we all need those light codes and just feeling that, feeling grounded, envisioning like roots growing into the ground, my foundation.
00:35:58
Speaker
So that's one of the things that I really enjoy doing, always being around water. as well, as I had said. And then right now I'm on like a wet weight loss journey. So there are times where I'm like, okay, today's a headphone kind of day.
00:36:17
Speaker
I want to kind of listen to pumped music to get me through this workout. And then there are other days that I'm like, this is a silent walk today. And I don't play any music.
00:36:27
Speaker
And I just, I listen to the birds. I listen to the squirrels rummaging around. I listen to the ducks and the the flapping of their wings, um the the fishes when they're jumping in and out of the canal and stuff like that.
00:36:44
Speaker
I just listen to nature and enjoy it and really take it in. um And that really helps me disconnect from everything else and connect to something that's more ancient, more that like reminds me that there's a different rhythm or that I have my own rhythm.
00:37:06
Speaker
um That's what I like to do. That's like a daily ritual for me when I do my walks on a morning or even if I do my walks on the evening. ah What also brings me a lot of joy on on my walks is just seeing, I've kind of seen a lot of people ah starting to do the same thing. Like people that I have just seen like walking their dogs and stuff,
00:37:28
Speaker
Now, all of a sudden, it's like we've become this big community. And, you know, we used to just say hi to everyone. And it just, it feels really warm. It makes me really happy just to see everybody in the community. um Because, again, i always feel like there's a disconnect where we're always, like, really in our heads.
00:37:49
Speaker
We've got a lot of things going on. And I think if you take the time to just have that time of silence, that's when you could really connect. That's what's like really big for me in rituals.
00:38:02
Speaker
It sounds to me like you started a community over there with bringing your, your dogs and look at that. Tell them all about the podcast.
