Why Ignoring Your Spiritual Gifts is COSTING You Happiness
6 Plays5 months ago
How often do you quiet your intuition or hide your spiritual gifts to avoid judgment? In this episode, we name what we’ve kept quiet for too long and talk about the subtle ways our healing gifts show up in everyday life. From random intuitive hits to energetic boundaries, car-channeling moments, and helping friends (even when they don’t ask), this one is for the women who feel deeply and know more than they’ve been taught to say aloud.
Whether you’re a healer, empath, or just tired of shrinking, this is your reminder: you don’t need permission to trust yourself.

Introduction to Valuing Spiritual Gifts
00:00:00
Speaker
Hi guys, welcome back to the show. Today we're talking about not settling for less, the importance of valuing your spiritual gifts.
Do People Downplay Their Spiritual Gifts?
00:00:08
Speaker
Are you downplaying your magic because it feels a little too out there? Time to honor your gifts and claim your worth.
00:00:17
Speaker
Ooh, has this been a topic that we haven't talked about before? don't think we have.
Keeping Spiritual Gifts Secret Due to Judgment
00:00:24
Speaker
It's nice one. I like this one. I think we have a tendency, especially like getting into like our spirituality and learning about ourselves that we tend to downplay like what we are like working on, I guess.
00:00:38
Speaker
So what is like a gift that you've not mentioned in conversation because you're worried that it sounds too woo woo and strange.
00:00:49
Speaker
I love it because there are so many that I don't tell people about because everything I say sounds crazy. i don't even tell people that I do medicine 90% the time. I don't tell anything, especially people I've just met because they're like, what? I don't talk about energy.
00:01:05
Speaker
don't talk about energy healing.
Reactions to Discussing Spiritual Topics
00:01:07
Speaker
don't talk about sacred medicine. i just talk about like normal conversations. So we don't like get upset with anyone. We don't walk on eggshells with people type of stuff. And then i I'll see their reaction. I'll see where their heads are.
00:01:20
Speaker
And um depending on their answers, i kind of would talk about certain things, but yeah. Most of the times I keep a lot of these things secret or I keep this thing like on a need to know basis because I feel like some of these things when we talk about people and I'm like, yeah, I just did ayahuasca last week and they're like,
00:01:44
Speaker
I what? What is I what? Like, what is this? And like, literally, you can see the whole face like decomposing. I'm like, are you okay?
Being Selective in Discussing Spirituality
00:01:54
Speaker
and and they Like, And they're like, what is that? And I'm, you know, like, it's you laugh, but it's the truth. It's it's crazy funny. um So I've seen it so many times and people or I'll talk about like energy healing and they're like, energy? What's energy? And I'm like, well, yeah,
00:02:13
Speaker
energy is in everything like you know like basic right like let's warm them up a little bit yeah and then you talk about energy in medicine and now this is a whole other is like yeah you don't just let's yeah you ain't ready for this so yeah how like What are the things that you don't talk about or like you're trying to like avoid or you keep to a different topic because you know, like people are going to look at you like you have
Embracing Spirituality in Mexico
00:02:43
Speaker
five heads. Hopefully they don't see my five heads.
00:02:47
Speaker
One for every role. um For me, I try to stay conscious of who like I'm around, right? So if I'm around a person that's, I'm going to put it out there, very religious, like heavy into it, i don't bring it up.
00:03:05
Speaker
I don't talk about it. i don't mention it. If I am going to talk about like something that I'm working on or along that line i would keep it more like like if i'm talking about what i'm putting into my body so nurturing myself and nurturing my body not really talking about my spirituality but i'm not gonna lie love to drop it just i'm just like they're like oh kiki what do you do i was like oh well i'm a reiki master and then i just look at them
00:03:38
Speaker
I'm like, okay, you want to talk? You want to have a conversation about me being a Reiki master and what that entails? And it's trying, you know, it kind of gets the conversation going. and we'll talk about like me being in within my intuition
Creating Chaos with Spiritual Ideas
00:03:53
Speaker
and everything. And like you said, dealing with energy and how to focus on that and really lean into it.
00:04:01
Speaker
But I, I, I'm cautious about who I talk or have conversations with. So if you're really, if you're that person who's like, oh my God, you are talking the devil's language. And I'm like, I'm gonna need you to take a step back.
00:04:19
Speaker
This is not what it's about. Do not put words in my mouth. The way that you have decided that you want to honor yourself, your spirituality, your religion, that is that is all up to you.
00:04:32
Speaker
It is your prerogative. You can do that all you want to, but don't cast an eye on me. I do like to plant the seed and sprinkle it a little bit.
Unexpected Help from Intuitive Gifts
00:04:43
Speaker
I like to create chaos every once in while because it's fun. I agree on the chaos. I agree. I do. I love that because, you know, here where I am in Mexico, it's a very touristy area. Right now it's a slow season. So thank God.
00:04:59
Speaker
But like, again, I hang out with a lot of my friends who are in my community. And so we talk a lot about ceremonies and spirituality and Reiki and energy and all that. So that's normal for us to talk about.
00:05:10
Speaker
But when we go out in places and people are there, And there's people that that we don't know. Sometimes we won't talk about those things. And then sometimes we kind of like, I've dropped bombs. I've dropped a little seeds here and there just to see people's reaction.
00:05:25
Speaker
And you'll have people that are like interested and then you'll have others that will like, don't know. I don't know. Why? like like and So like, okay, cool.
00:05:37
Speaker
So I know I would not be talking about those people. I would not be talking to those people about anything. be like, adios, I gotta go. Because ah when I look at my human design
Perfect Timing in Intuitive Actions
00:05:47
Speaker
type, I'm a manifester and I'm a fire starter. So I like to fire, I like to initiate things, right? Like I like to get things going and started. And so if I can't initiate to people certain things, for me, I feel like, what's the point? Like, I don't even want to talk to you. You're not you're not fun. You're not my cup of tea. So why would I, right?
00:06:06
Speaker
No, I feel you on that. Like you, you, you start the conversation and you're like, okay, I'm going to feel this out. Uh, this is not calling to me. So it was really nice talking to you. i'm like, vamos, let's go.
00:06:22
Speaker
like throwing out the big peace signs, like, uh, you're not for me. Got to go. i know Like totally. Yeah. yeah Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Definitely.
00:06:33
Speaker
Yeah. That's crazy. But it's funny. It's funny that you do the same thing that I do because there is part of me that's kind of like, let's poke the bear little just to see where they're at. um It is fun to poke the bear.
00:06:49
Speaker
Yeah, it is. I do like that. What do you feel like your healing energy or like your intuitive energy gift has like helped you help others.
00:07:06
Speaker
How do you feel like that has happened? I think you and I have talked about it in like, pat you know, like in our conversations and stuff like that. I always seem to reach
Early Intuitive Experiences
00:07:18
Speaker
out to people.
00:07:22
Speaker
i always seem to reach out to people randomly. just like randomly, I will reach out to them and they're like, Oh my God, geeky. How did you know I needed to talk to you?
00:07:34
Speaker
Or, um you know, I've been going through this and I just didn't. And then that will just spark the conversation of how I'm going to be able to help them. Um, our friend, Barbara, Barbara wasn't feeling well and.
00:07:49
Speaker
And we already had this conversation as well. I've been really bad with catching up on conversations. They were like, Hey, Kiki, can you talk? And like, no, I'm working or no, I'm doing this or I'm doing that. I'll, I'll, I'll follow up with you or I'll, I'll call you back later. I'll message you later.
00:08:04
Speaker
And then I'm like, Oh my God, I'm a horrible friend. i haven't talked to this for, I told them I was going to like call them back like right away. Or as soon as I have some free time and obviously I don't have any free time.
00:08:17
Speaker
at that point. But then I follow up or I call that I contact them and they're like, Oh my God, haven't been feeling well. She's been like packing up her situation and everything. So like she didn't have all of her cooking supplies and everything.
00:08:34
Speaker
So she was like, Oh, I ah haven't been feeling well. I've been coughing. I've been running a fever. I've been feeling all just awful. So what did I do? i went ahead. i made some of my specialty because that that I swear to God, ah live and breathe by it. My uncle wasn't feeling well as well. he had a bad cough.
00:08:54
Speaker
The second I was like, listen, I need you to boil the ginger and use a great up some garlic and use you should bring that to boil, add some honey, add some lemon. You'll be right as rain. That's kind of like how my, my into my intuition has kind of like helped others. It's all, I always reach out at the right time.
00:09:16
Speaker
Everyone I talk to is like, oh my God, Kiki, I was thinking about you. I was thinking about reaching out to you because I've been going through this and I've been meaning to ask, you know, like your input on it or I'll reach out to someone ire like, you know what? I've been feeling really,
00:09:30
Speaker
shitty and we'll have a conversation about it or I'll send them healing for it. I always, i don't know what it is. And yes, no, let me take that back.
Premonitions vs. Manifestation
00:09:40
Speaker
It's not that I don't know what it is. That's how my intuition works with me.
00:09:44
Speaker
I always reach out at the correct time for those people in order to be able to facilitate what they need. I was waiting for you to come to that realization that it's not that you don't know. just that you do know you're just not listening to yourself.
00:09:59
Speaker
Okay, carry on. Very true. It's that reprogramming. Yes. And we all do that. FYI, this is a perfect example of Kiki getting into that mindset, thinking, saying, like, I don't know.
00:10:14
Speaker
and we all do that because we get caught because the monkey mind catches up with us. It does. it It does catch up with you. and it is like a reprogramming kind of situation. You're always, I've found myself recently having these conversations, especially with like my mom about the ways that we, that we see things or that we phrase things.
00:10:36
Speaker
um And just kind of like working on that. How has your intuition, because I've shared this one, my intuition just like reaching out to people.
00:10:48
Speaker
How has that like come up in your life? I have a few of those. um Very similar but different stories. Not like when people are sick.
00:10:59
Speaker
By the way, isn't that ah one of the stories that you posted a few weeks ago that you were dropping off at the front porch a soup, a bag of soup or something? Okay, I figured. it I was like, I wonder who she's dropping that off, but I didn't know it was for her. Okay, so well, I'm glad she's feeling better.
00:11:14
Speaker
ah Stocker moment. Okay.
00:11:20
Speaker
um it's not stalking because
Intuition in Friends' Relationships
00:11:23
Speaker
i put it out there for the entire world i know well it's true but the fact that i know who it is it's stalking
00:11:34
Speaker
Anywho, let's go back to the topic. ah ah How did I realize ah my intuitive gift or my healing energy actually helped others? Well, um for me, starting really young, actually, like my and I kind of talked we talked about this in like few past episodes, but like i had gotten my gift at a really young age when, and I know this is like the craziest story and I'm not going to reset the story, but like I was around like 15, 14, 15 years old with my best friend trying to kill herself and I felt it.
00:12:08
Speaker
um And that was like my first real like extreme experience. And I was like, what is happening? Then I moved to United States and then I was with my partner for about five and a half years. And even though we weren't, we weren't together anymore,
00:12:21
Speaker
I had a very strong link with him still because we were still friends afterwards. And I felt a lot of things that were going on. And I remember we're having like weird dreams about him and his mother and stuff like that.
00:12:34
Speaker
And I was reaching out to him. I was like, hey, is everything okay? And then that was happening. And when I talked to him, he was like, no, this is what's happening. And i was like, oh my God, okay. I forgot what it was. And then couple of months later, i had this friend who's a wakeboarder.
00:12:50
Speaker
And I don't know, something, the energy was weird. And I messaged him. I was like, hey, are you all right? And he was like, no, I broke like three of my ribs, wakeboarding. And I was like, oh my God. Like, so I've had this, nat I've had this gift over time where I've always had this intuitive hit or like this intuitive, like just this knowing that something was happening.
00:13:13
Speaker
um And now even like, the remember the cat that we used to have at the crystal store?
The Burden of Intuitive Insights
00:13:21
Speaker
You remember what happened to her? And I knew something was going to happen to her. I kept saying, like, if I'm not, because I was supposed to adopt this cat from the crystal shop that we went to school at, because this is also a school and a shop.
00:13:33
Speaker
And ah was supposed to adopt that cat. And i it was a hard time for me to get the cat because of not politics, but because of like people that were working there that were attached the cat and whatnot.
00:13:46
Speaker
And I kept having this weird sensation that something was going to happen to the cat. And I didn't want to say, cause I was worried worried that if I said it was going to manifest, but I didn't know if it was me. man And this was, this is how I learned that this is not manifestation. Cause I'm like, how do I know and this is intuition versus manifestation? Right.
00:14:05
Speaker
That was one of the moments I learned the difference. And I was like, Oh my God, because I kept having all this like weird knowing ah about the cat that something was going to happen. And I was worried every time I was thinking about that, was like oh my God, am I manifesting this?
00:14:18
Speaker
Am I creating this? And then when she died, she got ran over by a car in the street, right in front of the store. And when we found out that happened, I was like, oh my God, I should have adopted her. And then I was kind of, I spiraled and I was like, oh my God, did I manifest this?
00:14:33
Speaker
And no, it was me having premonitions. It was me having visions. It was me knowing that something was either, something was going to happen or was adopting her. And literally what I didn't want to happen happened. And I was like, wow.
00:14:45
Speaker
So this was like one of those moments. And I've had a moment with death already happening three times where I've called on the thing literally to the T that somebody was going to die. And sure enough, it's happened. And the cat being the third person the third ah incident that's happened.
00:15:01
Speaker
ah One or the other person was my grandmother. So that was like really... That was really intense. So these have been, my gifts have been like evolving over time and, uh, went from my childhood best friend that's trying to take her life to, uh,
00:15:20
Speaker
accidents happening left and right. So weird things happening. So not necessarily when people are sick, but when things are getting iffy for people and I'm feeling the weird vibration um or death and um
Seeing Death as a Gift
00:15:33
Speaker
and then relationships.
00:15:34
Speaker
This last few years has been about relationship when my girlfriends are getting with men that they're with and my friends are too good for the men. the man is usually narcissistic or very, very not good man.
00:15:47
Speaker
i can pick up on it like this. I have this radar and I will tell my friends exactly what's going on. They don't like to hear what I have to say. couple months later, a year later, they'll call me back and they'll be like, you're right. This is exactly what happened, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, and this has happened like four or five times in the last three years already. And I'm just like, and I, and on, and believe me, i hate that I know this.
00:16:13
Speaker
And I don't even like to use the word hate because it's such a strong word. But like, I don't even like to have that knowing of truth that I know what's going to happen.
00:16:25
Speaker
I hope that I'm wrong when I say that to my friends because it's such a shitty feeling to tell somebody that you know that the man that she's in love with or she thinks is the right one for her is not the right one. I hate to break people's dreams by saying that. In any other situations in relationship-wise, I am pushing my girlfriends to be like, yeah, go get her. You're a dream. You can do it.
00:16:47
Speaker
like I'm the one that's pushing people. like I'm the cheerleader pushing my friends. And you can, you can ask all my female friends and they'll be like, yeah, like she's Naya is a cheerleader in a corner. That's like, you don't have it.
00:16:58
Speaker
I got you like that's Naya. But when it comes to relationship for my friends, telling them that that man is not for them, it breaks my heart because I wish that I didn't see that. And I wish I was wrong. And so far it's not been ah pleasant gift to be like, I'm so sorry, babe. This guy is just not right for you.
00:17:16
Speaker
It sucks. It really fucking sucks. So there are some gifts that are great and there's some gifts that suck. Seeing death. is not pleasant and telling your friends that the man that they're in love with is not the right man.
00:17:28
Speaker
It's a sucky time, but somebody's got to have that work, right? Somebody's got to do the work.
Sharing Intuitive Insights Respectfully
00:17:34
Speaker
Apparently it's, I'm one of them. So that has been ah my healing energy. Is it helping others? It's been an odd way. It's been for sure. Yeah.
00:17:50
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, i feel like we were talking about it and um we were, sometimes we can't coddle our friends with information and it might not be the best information that they're going to hear. And like, I,
00:18:09
Speaker
so depending on who I'm talking to, I will ask them, I'd be like, Okay, so do you want the sugar coated kiki version of it Or do you want the I'm gonna get down to business version of it?
00:18:25
Speaker
Because I can give you both. Are you just asking me to like stroke your ego or are you asking because you actually you genuinely want my input in what's going on right now?
00:18:37
Speaker
Because the person that's in it doesn't understand can't see what's going on outside. So which one which one you want?
00:18:49
Speaker
I'll give you both. i'll I'll give you which one you want. All right. And then I'll let you know that I've given you the sugar coated version and just come see me again in a month and tell me how you're feeling about the situation. Like, are you still there?
00:19:04
Speaker
So do you want to have this conversation now? Because I'm gonna give you all the business. I do kind of similar than you. I'm with my friends and like, they'll tell me, therere they'll tell me, they'll tell me whatever.
00:19:16
Speaker
and I'm, so I'm waiting for them to be like, what do you think I should do? Like, you know, like and the question at the end, right? Like I'm waiting for that. And then all of a sudden I'm like, I'm like, okay. I'm like, do you want,
00:19:30
Speaker
my opinion like, would you like, would you want me like, I'm glad that you told a story. Like, do you feel better now? Because you know, venting is is a thing, right? So I'm like, okay, cool. Like, do you feel better?
00:19:41
Speaker
do you want me to do something about it? Like, do you want my opinion or do you want me to go into like, do you want my opinion as a friend or do you want me to tap into one of my gifts and to see what I'm feeling from what you just shared? Because that can get pretty deep. Are you ready?
00:19:57
Speaker
And so I asked that because before I used to give this to my friends and they used to be like, nah, yeah, sometimes I just want you to like, just listen and be there for me. And I'm like, you know what? You're right. And that's something I had to learn.
00:20:07
Speaker
No, because I used to give it and you know it's funny, but like it used to be something i used to give for free before to people. People were like, Naya, sometimes I'm just saying something and I just want you to be there and emotionally be there for me and support me to what I'm going through. Maybe I didn't ask for that two cents. and I'm
Permission in Sharing Intuitive Insights
00:20:23
Speaker
like, you know what? You're right. My bad.
00:20:24
Speaker
So now over the years, and this was like, you know, before I moved to United, before I left United States, before I moved to Mexico, but this was like a time where I was like, you know what? It's right. I should respect what my friends want or I should respect what the other person wants.
00:20:37
Speaker
Maybe they're not ready to hear it. They didn't ask for it. Maybe they're not there yet. Sometimes I poke a little bit just to see if they want to hear it. like Like, obviously I'm not doing out it to be mean or nothing, but I'm just poking to see like, maybe they're open to it. They just don't know it yet.
00:20:52
Speaker
Just I can break the veil or like pass through the veil a little bit. ah because sometimes they say they aren't, they're just in a vulnerable place, which happens often. But sometimes being in a vulnerable place is not a bad thing because you're you're open to receive, open-minded, you're open to receiving. And so sometimes it's kind of nice to...
00:21:10
Speaker
kind of sneak in a little bit in and I know it sounds a little bit like weird to do that, but it works. Um, obviously don't kick them when they're down, right. Let's not add more fuel to the fire. That's not what I'm saying.
00:21:22
Speaker
But like, if you see that there is a ah limit where they're vulnerable, but like they they're still open to hearing what you have to say, or they're open to hearing to what the gift is coming through or what is, or is being said or what the friend wants to say,
00:21:36
Speaker
then I think you can share, but obviously ask permission first. um And that's what I'm working on. That's what I've been working on a lot has been to ask permission. Do you want to hear what
Setting Boundaries in Spiritual Discussions
00:21:45
Speaker
I have to say? and do you want me to share as a friend or do you want me to get it from one of my gifts?
00:21:51
Speaker
Because if that's the case, I will share what I'm hearing and what I'm feeling. And you may or may not like what's coming through, but this is what I'm feeling. And I felt like that has been ah a better, it's it's been better to ask the question than just going and going and sharing with without other people's approval first.
00:22:10
Speaker
So would you say that's like setting a boundary to like protect your gift? Yes. Well, protect my gift is one, but also to like, if they're to meet me, to meet them, where are they at?
00:22:24
Speaker
Also respect them as well. I think there's is a respect boundaries on on both ends. Yeah. Also, like if I start sharing about gifts and intuitions and like things that I'm feeling and sensing and seeing, i also feel like if I'm sharing and they're not ready to hear, I'm leaking energy. I'm i'm i'm then leaking my energy for something they're not ready to receive.
00:22:46
Speaker
And I don't think that it's fair to me. that I'm sharing all these things if they're not ready, if they're not open-minded or ready to hear what I have to say, right?
Recognizing Receptiveness to Spirituality
00:22:55
Speaker
So I don't want to spend my time, my energy explaining these things if they aren't ready because they're goingnna be like, Naya, I love you. Thank you for what you just said. But today I didn't get time for this. My mind isn't there yet. And I respect that.
00:23:07
Speaker
And so this is, so it is a boundary, yes, but it's a boundary for me, not leaking energy, not oversharing, they're and and and a boundary for them because they're not ready to hear it. So those are multiple boundaries essentially. So yeah. Yeah.
00:23:18
Speaker
Yeah. And I feel the same way about it, like creating that boundary for yourself and for others. Like if I'm in a situation and I'm having the conversation or I'm giving them information and I pick up on the energy that I'm receiving, that's kind of like saying, I really don't want to hear this right now.
00:23:40
Speaker
I just, i get I stay quiet and then I change the topic and we move on to something else. I'm like, okay, I understand. This is not what you're wanting to hear right now. This is not the time nor the place for us to have this conversation. So we can move on and talk about anything else that you want to talk about.
00:23:57
Speaker
Or if there is something else that's going on within the vicinity and I'm like, oh my God. And I just kind of pivot and we do something else instead. So I like creating that that space for myself and for others.
00:24:12
Speaker
Don't you love when you look at their face and they're looking and they're just like so confused in their face and you're just like, oh, I know I went too far. Like you're you're like, you know, you went too far and they're just like,
00:24:26
Speaker
what the fuck is she talking about?

I am not there. i love that. But it happens to me. And these moments tend to happen to me when I'm driving with my friend in the car. I don't know what it is about driving and having channeling moments because it happens to me often when And because I'm driving, I'm looking at the road. I'm not looking at my friend and seeing like, is she getting the message?
00:24:48
Speaker
Like I'm not like paying, but i I see how quiet they get. And I just do a glimpse. I'm like, oh, she ain't having it. Nevermind. We're changing topic. um but So I find that to be kind of funny that these moments happen to me mostly when I'm in the car.
00:25:03
Speaker
And it does happen when I'm also like, you know, sharing, like my friends are over or we're by the ah fire whatever. And I'm looking, I can see their faces. and I'm just like, yeah, they're, their energy says they don't want it. We're we're not going to go there today. When it's driving, i call it like a one track mine.
00:25:21
Speaker
Like if I, if I'm on my way home and I'm like, Oh, I have to stop off at the grocery store to pick something up. But on the way to the grocery store, my house is first, depending on the route that I'm taking.
00:25:33
Speaker
i drive all, I drive home first and I'm like, Well, guess I'm not going to the supermarket. I feel like that's how it is. Like we get in, once we're in the car, we're driving and we're like in it, but it's it's just a one track mind and you kind of have to go, oh, okay. Yeah, no, I'm gonna move on to something else now. but So I understand that.
00:25:54
Speaker
Yeah. ah But I also noticed that like being in the car driving for me puts me under trance. I was in a five day trance. Complete trends. This meditative state. I love driving.
00:26:06
Speaker
It puts me in this state of mind where like, obviously I'm paying attention to the road because I don't get accidents. But like, I'm so alert, but yet I'm in that...
00:26:17
Speaker
trans mind where like I'm not even thinking of like what's going on in 3D like yes I'm I can drive fine I'm not so much into the logical mind which is interesting to talk about maybe we should do a podcast we should do an episode on that in the future because that's interesting to oh definitely talk about that yeah So we've talked about like the trance state and everything.
00:26:37
Speaker
Is there like an affirmation or like a mantra that, especially in times like those that remind you that like you're worthy and you're you have value and you deserve recognition?
00:26:52
Speaker
No, I don't think so much of ah of a affirmation. No, I don't know if I would say so much an affirmation. There is there there is something that I say, but I call it more of like a blessing, i guess.
00:27:06
Speaker
And depending on what kind of like recognition is it is or what kind of value, like, for example, I've been on this detox podcast. ah detoxing liver and kidneys.
00:27:18
Speaker
And I've been on it for like 50 days now. um And one of my food that i I like often that I like to have is pizza. And I actually had pizza like last night.
00:27:30
Speaker
And believe it or not, before I actually ate the pizza, which I hadn't had in over 50 I I didn't just go and start eating the pizza. I kind of looked at the pizza and I've done a blessing on it and saying like, you know what, like I'm eating very clean right now and it's going to continue to be like this for a while.
00:27:52
Speaker
And ah instead of like just eating and thinking of the thought patterns that I used to have when I was younger, i would be like, okay, I am eating this pizza to remember where I was back in the days, like to bring back these memories of where
Reinforcing Spiritual Practices with Mantras
00:28:06
Speaker
I was. So kind of like doing a blessing or like a prayer on the food to honor my body that like, even though it is a junk food and pizza that we're talking about, I'm trying to think of like, how can I do this in, in, in my gifts?
00:28:18
Speaker
Friends call me and they're like, yeah, you were right. Or saying these things I honor back. And I say, you know, my blessing, like saying like, wow, thank you so much for sharing these signs with me and, and allowing myself to trust myself.
00:28:31
Speaker
So I come up with something like right away. Like I'll come up when I'm when i'm aware of I'm like, oh, wow, okay. Like this is what's happening. This is what's going on, yada, yada, yada. And I take it from there and I make the mantra or the affirmation. For me, it's more like a blessing or a prayer. I'll make that.
00:28:50
Speaker
And I'm like, when I realized, I'm like, oh, wow, okay, like, I helped that person with this. And I'm taking into consideration of X, Y, and Z. um I found that to be, for me, helpful.
00:29:02
Speaker
But what do you, what do you, what do you, are you doing affirmation? Are you doing mantras? How does that work for you? think sometimes, it's like a mixture. it it depends on like, what's going on and whatnot in my life.
00:29:15
Speaker
There's a singer, influencer, i don't know really. know what they are but they they produce music and i mainly watch his his stuff because when he does his videos his hair does this floppy thing when he dances up and down and just kind of goes like this i'm like is anybody does anybody else just look at your videos just for the hair because that's what i tend to do But he's he had a ah ah recent one where it's talking about like, I'm a magnet. what i you know like What I want in my life is what I'm a attracting.
00:29:55
Speaker
And to help me remind myself to be, not to sound like everybody else out there, but to remind myself to be on, be vibrating on a higher frequency because it's, it's kind of like what you're consuming,
Using Affirmations for Desired Outcomes
00:30:13
Speaker
right? So it's what you or not consuming.
00:30:17
Speaker
It's what you're trying to embody. So I am trying to embody the fact that I am abundant and the things that I am doing are going to attract more abundance into my life, better people into my life, better conversations in my life to, to,
00:30:35
Speaker
build value to build the community that we're building and um just recognizing that it's, it's, it is partially, you are manifesting what you want that outcome to be.
00:30:50
Speaker
So it just, it really depends on the situation that is at hand. I might do a mantra. I might do an affirmation. i might just kind of sing something happy to help that along.
00:31:05
Speaker
That's kind of like what I do. Singing is definite. It always goes back to music for me. Always goes back to music. ah Before we jumped on this, I, for whatever reason, and needed to listen to I'll Make a Man Out of You from the Mulan movie. I don't know why.
00:31:23
Speaker
Don't ask me why. That was what Spirit told me to sing at that point. So I sang it. I had to listen to it. ah You know why.
00:31:34
Speaker
We're going to stop with that conversation, but you know why. But we've named the gifts we often hide, explored how they've already served others, and set simple boundaries to protect our energy.
00:31:51
Speaker
Choose one of your gifts you've minimized. Write it down. speak it aloud and watch how your confidence
Encouragement to Share Hidden Gifts

shifts. If this inspired you, leave us a review so more people learn to honor their magic. And share it with someone who needs that boost.
00:32:09

As always, stay weird. And stay wild. We'll see you on the next one.
