Introduction to Brave Journey Within
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome to the Brave Journey Within with Jim and Jen. This show is about the spiritual journey and all of the challenges, healing, wisdom, and consciousness expansion experienced along the way. Welcome to another edition of Brave Journey Within with Jim and Jen. Welcome, Jen. Hey, Jim. How's it going?
Navigating Chaos with Lightness
00:00:22
Speaker
I, you know, I feel like the ebbs and flows of life are continuing, right? Yeah. Yeah. But you know,
00:00:31
Speaker
It definitely feels better than it has over the last few years to me, even with all the upheaval and everything going on, there's still a lightness to it that I didn't feel a few years ago. You know, so I'm feeling pretty good about things, even though it seems chaotic. Interesting. Okay, well, good, because I wanted to keep this positive and sort of light in the because not everyone is feeling that but I know. Well,
00:00:59
Speaker
Sorry, go ahead.
Embracing Ascension and Healing Energies
00:01:01
Speaker
Oh, I was just going to say, we're in the time of the ascension and the energies.
00:01:06
Speaker
are certainly working to help us bring up the things that we need to heal. And it's doing it very suddenly and very quickly for a lot of us. And my feeling of it is, is the less resistance you have and the more positive you can try to be throughout the process, which is not easy. And I've certainly not had times where I'm always positive.
00:01:30
Speaker
But if you can stay more positive or shift out of the negative more quickly and have less resistance, you can flow through things more quickly and easily. And then even when it does look chaotic and the upheaval is happening, it's not going to have a detrimental effect on you.
00:01:47
Speaker
the way it would if you're seeing things from a very negative place.
Mindfulness and Subconscious Fears
00:01:52
Speaker
And so I love the idea of, you know, trying to be positive, doing the best you can, really trying to look at all the different angles and how whatever you're going through might be helping you. But then also, you know, sometimes we have fears that we need to face or things that we need to heal because so much of it subconscious.
00:02:15
Speaker
Yeah. Fear and doubt, for me, are two things that I've worked on a lot. As my therapist would say, your demon is doubt. Yeah. But it's important to know what you're working with, right? Because then you can do something about it. And that's, I think, sort of the awareness that you were talking about. You know, when you think, like, how can mindfulness help you?
00:02:44
Speaker
It's being aware of what's getting in the way. And a lot of people are not aware of that or not aware of the subconscious beliefs that are undermining them in their life. Before you texted me and talked about what we were, some possible topics today, I was working on an article around you can change your life and it's about having
00:03:12
Speaker
a more positive mindset and really working through your fears. And one of the things that I wrote in the article was, you know, we tend to think about life in terms of what we don't want. So we might think, oh, I definitely don't want that disease, or I definitely don't want, you know, this financial situation or whatever it is.
Desires vs. Unwanted Focus
00:03:33
Speaker
But we don't tend to think in terms of what we do want. And so one of the best questions you can ask is what is it you actually want?
00:03:42
Speaker
I agree. That's like really hard for some people. It is. Yeah. I mean, we should probably just kind of unpack that a little bit because that's something that I see a lot of people struggle with. And it's like, well, I don't know. I do too sometimes. You know, well, usually I do know what I want, but because I think fear tends to creep up in some way or another, even even in a way where I don't always notice it.
00:04:10
Speaker
there's a fear underlying certain things for me that I sometimes still find myself working through or maybe different aspects of. And as I'm healing those,
00:04:21
Speaker
You know, it's like the universe likes to bring you the opportunity to heal it quicker. So in order to heal things, you have to face them. And so I think that's a big part of the process. We have to not be in resistance to the things that are showing up so that we can face those things and uncover what we're actually thinking underneath. And how do you get someone to tussle with what do I want?
00:04:49
Speaker
Yeah, well, I think the first thing is to acknowledge what they are afraid of because that's the foremost thought. And then I'll basically put that on the shelf for a minute and say, okay, we'll get to that. I just want you to leave that to the side for a minute. But then underneath of that, what is it that you do want? If you know what you don't want, what is the circumstance that you would like to show up? And if they can't define a specific thing,
00:05:17
Speaker
It might just be they want to feel safe. They want to feel loved. They want to feel secure. They want to feel XYZ. It's more of a state of feeling or being than a thing that they want. So underlying all the things that we say we want, we really just want to feel loved, safe, and secure. Yeah. And as we're talking about this, I'm wondering if so many of us forget
00:05:46
Speaker
And as I'm talking, please know, as I talk about all these things, I am included in all of them. I am not abused from any of these things. If anything, that makes me skilled in any way is that I've been through most things. So we often are looking out externally to maybe what our parents wanted us to be.
00:06:17
Speaker
Or, I mean, I'll admit this, I picked my college because someone I respected, I heard them say, well, if I was picking, I'd go to this school. So I'm like, well, you're really smart. So if that's where you'd go, then I guess I should go there. You know, it was not my decision per se. You know, it was influenced on what I thought other people might think looked good.
00:06:46
Speaker
Well, you know, so that's the thing when you're, cause really what we're talking about is what are we manifesting? Right. And so there was a lot of times that we just have no idea what will bring us the joy or the fulfillment or the belonging that we are looking for.
Manifesting from a High Emotional State
00:07:05
Speaker
And, you know,
00:07:08
Speaker
think it was Mike Dooley. I had listened to a program of his years ago when I first stepped into my spiritual awakening. Oh, yeah. And actually, it's funny, his program was called thoughts are things, I think, or something like that. Oh, that's where I totally risk that from. And so it's funny, I'm going to bring him up and give him, you know, his, his two thumbs up, because it really was a powerful program. And one of the things that he says, is that it's not your job to determine
00:07:38
Speaker
how things are going to happen. It's just your job to pitch it to the universe. And then the universe is what hits it out of the ballpark. It's not your job to hit the ball once it's pitched. You just say what you want, the universe delivers.
00:07:56
Speaker
One of the other things he says is he prefers to try to manifest from the highest state with the fewest, I forget how he words it, but like the details. So if you're thinking, okay, I want to go to some college and now I've got to think all the details and I got to go research everything and
00:08:19
Speaker
But instead, what he would probably say, at least in this program, is really come at it from the standpoint of what would bring me the most fulfillment? What would I feel best at? Where would I have the most joy? Where would I have the best chance for my further career? And you just pitch that to the universe. And with the end result being feeling fulfilled, loving life, feeling good,
00:08:43
Speaker
The details don't even really matter. And so you can try to manifest at the more detailed level, but he usually recommends, at least back then, going at that higher level. So. Is that connecting with how you want to feel? I mean, generally, yeah, I think so. It is more emotionally based, but without telling the universe how to bring you that emotion.
00:09:10
Speaker
But in that, so let's say someone's having maybe financial difficulties. Really what they want to feel is to feel safe and secure. When you start having a fear of not enough, it's because you might get kicked out of your house. You're gonna not have enough for food. You can't take care of your kids. It's that safety and security that's threatened. So instead of thinking about how you don't have enough,
00:09:36
Speaker
if you really focus and pitch to the universe that, you know what, I want to feel safe and secure. I want to feel financially free. So that's really ultimately what you want. The details then would be, how is that going to come to you? So it could be through a job. It could be a lump sum of money coming in somehow, or whatever the case may be. But there's stuff happening.
00:10:00
Speaker
that you have no control over. And the more detail we try to get about the manifestation, the more control we're trying to have over the process and the fewer doors that can open. So the goal is from that program that he taught was really you want to open as many doors as possible. You don't want to constrict any of the ways what you want can come in. And if you go at a high enough level, you're opening all the doors. Yeah.
00:10:30
Speaker
One of the things or one of the ways that I have seen that in my life was when I was working somewhere and I realized like, this is very unfulfilling and I'm not ever going to be happy here. I need to find a way to work closer to home and figure it out. I had no idea how exactly it was going to happen, but I
00:10:59
Speaker
I definitely had that belief and was putting that out there that I needed to get a job closer to home. And sure enough, a former colleague of mine said, hey, this is how I met you. Oh, wow. That's awesome. Yeah, there's this place. They are people. I think you'd be great. I'm like, where would I work? And they're like, oh.
00:11:29
Speaker
you know, really close to my home. And that's the way I ended up at version 30. That's awesome. But I had no idea that that even existed. You know, there was, I couldn't have thought of any details because it wasn't a concept in my mind. But what was in my mind was that I defined a way to work closer to home.
00:11:53
Speaker
and be closer to my kids. And sure enough, the universe answered the call. That was very eye-opening to me that, okay, you can start to impact what you're bringing into your life. But Mike Dooley, he's kind of lived it too,
Thoughts Shape Reality - Mike Dooley's Influence
00:12:16
Speaker
right? He's an interesting guy. He is the creator of Notes from the universe. Yeah.
00:12:25
Speaker
And what was the name of the class you took? What was that? What was the name of the class you took? I think, again, this has been probably like 15 years since I really paid attention to it. But I think it was called Thoughts Are Things. It's interesting that you brought him up today because we did not talk about him prior to this. Right. He was good friends with Louise Hay, who before we came on this call,
00:12:55
Speaker
I grabbed her book because I want to read some of her book. Oh, great. Yes. I think she might have published his books or something, but she, they were connected and she's a tremendous healer as well. She's since passed, but very fascinating. So, so thoughts or things, what you believe about yourself and other people.
00:13:25
Speaker
you do create your reality with that. I think we've touched on it before, like, you don't see the other person, you see a projection of what you want to see. Yeah, sometimes I think that's true. Maybe all the time. Well, you know, I think it's my guides have said it's more complicated than just this, right? You know, we are here as spiritual beings, learning a whole bunch of things. And
00:13:52
Speaker
the idea of manifestation on this level is just one piece of it. There are other things that come into play, like there are destinies involved, there are things in contracts that we've signed up for, there's karma involved. So I don't know, let's say you, I don't know, had some sort of
00:14:12
Speaker
financial issue in a past life, just because we were talking about finances earlier, and maybe you have karma around it. You can do all the manifesting you want to try to bring in that money. But until the karma is cleared, it's not gonna happen, at least not the way you want it to. And it's gonna feel a bit like an uphill battle until that's cleared or a work through. So
00:14:35
Speaker
Yeah, there's always that too. There's, so there's different, I guess rules and laws of the universe that interplay together. I don't think it's just, you can only say thoughts or things and everything I'm thinking about is what's going to come to be, because it does seem to be that there's more to the story. Okay. You know what I mean? Like for people listening be included, right? Like if I have some karma to clear, what am I going to do about it?
00:15:03
Speaker
Yeah, you know, and sometimes we can clear things very quickly and easily. And what I have found is, and I'll say how I tend to do it in a minute, but some things you can just be aware of and ask for forgiveness for from the universe and to whomever you need forgiveness from, from whatever lifetime or parallel experience, whatever it is, right? Or even ancestrally. Sometimes we do need to go through
00:15:32
Speaker
I'm just going to say it doesn't have to be painful, but we usually experience it as pain, the pain of that process for it to be totally cleared. So sometimes it does need to be an experience we need to have. But generally what happens when I am aware of karma, especially for myself or anything that I need to clear, anything that might be standing in the way of what I'm trying to manifest.
00:15:58
Speaker
It can be quite a process sometimes because we do sign up for certain experiences. And so what I do is I go into the courts of heaven and it's more of a Christian-based kind of healing. Some people might call it more like a karma court, but you go in and you ask to be shown whatever you can be shown around a topic. So I'll go into the court of heaven and I'll say,
Clearing Karma for Manifestation
00:16:26
Speaker
all right,
00:16:27
Speaker
My name is Jennifer Palmer. I'm coming on, you know, this one issue I'm having. I'd like to know if there's anything that I need to clear up. And sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't. And so then I'll go through the process of cleaning it up and
00:16:46
Speaker
Sometimes I've found like with clients, they might have to do certain things. Like one client in particular had to fast for three days. So I think it was, you know, one way to burn through the karma. It couldn't just be forgiven. So there was something that had to be done. But, you know, forgiveness is a huge part of releasing karma. So forgiving yourself, forgiving others who've harmed you and asking for forgiveness from those you've harmed.
00:17:16
Speaker
in whatever way they were harmed. And sometimes it's intentional. Sometimes it's unintentional. Sometimes we do things and we don't intend to, but it does create a bit of a karmic spin on things. So it's important to clear those energies. I was going to say, what's the secular approach for those listening that are not perhaps spiritual or not Christian? Well, Jim, if they're listening to us, they probably are spiritual.
00:17:46
Speaker
No, but I mean, the secular approach, I guess, would be more, I would journal about the things that I did or that were done to me and work through the process of forgiveness. And, you know, anytime you're holding anything other than love in your heart around something, which we all experience, anytime you're doing that, you're not
00:18:11
Speaker
in that space of love. And I really do think that when you're trying to manifest, the closer you can get to that full on state of love, and just with no resistance to what's showing up, the easier it is to shift out of that negative space. So
00:18:31
Speaker
Yeah. I know. I know we've mentioned the ho up ono pono. You know, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. I cannot sell that enough. Like it is such a powerful thing and people resist it so much. I'm not forgiving that person. I know. They deserve.
00:18:53
Speaker
Well, and they might on that level of things, right? You know, when you're talking about the egoic experience, we all get hurt by people. People do awful things sometimes to other people. And none of us are beyond that. And if we haven't done it in this lifetime, we've done it in a past lifetime. So we've all done terrible things. And it's important to remember so that we can have compassion for people who've done terrible things to us. That's hard for people. Yeah.
00:19:23
Speaker
Yeah, it is. But that's the work that we're here to do. One of the things that a few years ago, and your son Jacob really helped me with this, but the meditation of the violet flame and the intention to forgive everyone that has ever hurt me. Yeah. You know, and to ask forgiveness.
00:19:54
Speaker
for all the people that I've hurt, whether it was knowingly or unknowingly. And just the feeling, even as I'm saying that, like a feeling of lightness comes over me, like, you know, that's a powerful thing to do. Yeah, valuable. And it took me a long ass time to get there. I just had a vision of it's like,
00:20:22
Speaker
When you're angry and you have not forgiven, you are chained to that person and you're both in prison. And the idea of forgiveness, it's not about saying, ah, what you did is fine. It's all good. It's really about I release you and I'm going to let
00:20:45
Speaker
The universe, do whatever it needs to do to help you on your journey and your path. And I'm gonna do what I need to do. And with the universe's help, I'm gonna do what I need to do on my journey and my path. I'm gonna stay in my lane. I forgive the situation, I let it go. Forgiveness is just a true, deep letting go. And if you're not feeling peace, like complete peace, when you think of a situation, you have not forgiven.
00:21:13
Speaker
Not completely. I'm laughing because I know how hard it is to forgive somebody. But you're right. And I think one of the words you said was maybe a better way of looking at it, but it is to release your attachment to that person.
00:21:36
Speaker
and the situation and the need for vindication. Yeah, I'm right. You just got to trust that it's all going to work out the way it needs to and that we're all getting the lessons we need and you release them and you release yourself from it too. And you know, it's when you're in ego trying to forgive, you can't forgive.
00:22:00
Speaker
You just can't, right? And that's usually where most of us try to achieve that. That's the space we're usually in trying to achieve it. We're in ego, we're hurt, we're wounded, and we're trying to forgive, or we're in shame and we want forgiveness. But either way, that's ego. And if you can get into that higher space, who you truly are, and
00:22:23
Speaker
See it for what it is instead of being in the depths of the despair of it all. You know, just see for what it is, the lessons and the things that we're here to learn and use what happened in a way to help you in some way so that you can use it as fuel to move forward in a positive way instead of being trapped and imprisoned by it. The question that I ask myself is how can I heal? What do I need to do to heal?
00:22:54
Speaker
And forgiveness was one of those things that sounded so obvious, but then it was like, how do you actually do that? And then setting an intention to forgive is, um, you know, I'm sure you have some thoughts on this too, but it took a while of being very intentional about it to actually get there. Yeah.
00:23:22
Speaker
And every now and again, I would be reminded that I'm not there yet. Thought I was there, not there. Thought I was there again, not there. But you know what, Jim? I think that's true for the whole spiritual journey. We like to think that we're going to get there in this journey. There is no there. There is no there. It's just this walking through. There's this ceaseless path of just exploration of who we are.
00:23:48
Speaker
and as we're walking the path we get wiser and then we can handle different things or we can handle more difficult things or something but as we're moving through we're meant to be challenged and that's why I'm saying it's more it's more than just thoughts or things you know to grow as a soul we do need challenges you can't just
00:24:12
Speaker
always get everything you want and not be challenged and expect yourself to grow. So there is an aspect of that. But I think thoughts are things is really important to understand because as you're moving through any challenge that's brought to you as a part of your ascension or as a part of your initiation in your ascension process, those tests, all those things that we, it's a part of life as a soul on planet earth.
00:24:39
Speaker
Your thoughts are going to determine how quickly and easily you get through that. So just having great thoughts and being positive doesn't mean things aren't going to happen. It's just, are you able to utilize it in a way that can really thrust you further down your path and in your journey, or are you going to use it in a way to be stuck?
Growth Through Overcoming Victim Mentality
00:25:03
Speaker
was listening to Ruben Langdon's podcast, interview with Extra Dimensionals, ED. And one of the channelers that he had on was taking questions from this group. And the way he does his podcast is very interesting. So the audience can
00:25:25
Speaker
can ask questions to the person channeling. And the entity that was coming through was named Abram. And Abram was taking questions from this, you know, this guy who was like, Listen, I have done all of the work. And he was saying it confidently, like I quit my job, I didn't like it, I have been doing psycho spiritual work, I
00:25:54
Speaker
have doing everything that I've been told or learned how to do to manifest a life that I want to live and yet it's not happening. And so now I'm questioning my beliefs like what what am I doing wrong or am I
00:26:11
Speaker
And so it was very fascinating because it was like, okay, where's this going to go? You know? And so there's this back and forth, this interchange. And what eventually they get to was that underneath it all, despite all of this work that this person was doing,
00:26:35
Speaker
There was this unconscious, subconscious belief that, you know, I'm a victim. They were still in a victim mindset. Yeah. It's so hard to like see yourself in that light or to know that that's what you're doing. I know, cause this has happened to me when I realized that I've been putting myself in a victim mindset and then it totally frustrated with myself. I'm like, doing it again.
00:27:04
Speaker
Again, I think that's another one of those things that most of us do. It's an archetype that we come in with, that we are meant to... It's kind of like it's...
00:27:16
Speaker
it was a purposeful putting on the brakes in our life's experience so that we aren't just like, okay, I'm gonna manifest XYZ and then it boop, boop, boop, it all shows up, you know? So it's like the brakes that are put on this victim idea, this victim mentality, because we're meant to basically overcome it or rise above it or ascend beyond it into, you know, that we're the heroes of our own lives. It's that hero's journey basically.
00:27:47
Speaker
we usually overcome that victim mindset by becoming the victim either many, many, many times or in some really very difficult ways, depending on what our soul's journey is needing. And that's why I'm saying it's not always about what's showing up is not necessarily about your thoughts all the time. Sometimes it's just a part of
00:28:08
Speaker
the experience we're signing up for. But how you navigate through it is what matters. And we've talked about the hero's journey and boy, it gets dark on that hero's journey sometimes. And if you don't have the right mindset to make it through, you're probably not. It's not gonna go very well or it's gonna take an extraordinary amount of time or you're gonna get way more battered on that journey than you would have otherwise.
00:28:37
Speaker
So you tend to do better and you go more quickly through the challenges when you have the right mindset. Well, speaking of a victim mindset that can plague, plague many people, including myself, yeah, me too, becoming aware of it.
00:28:59
Speaker
then you can work with it. For me, what I found helpful is kind of like disgust with myself that I'm being a victim, which is maybe not the nicest way or the most kind way to kind of view it. But it really pissed me off. It's like, all right, if I'm not a victim, how am I going to empower myself to pull myself out of this, you know, and
00:29:24
Speaker
and not be a victim anymore. Like it's setting that intention, that belief, that thought that I'm not a victim anymore. I'm not allowing myself to be in this state. That is very powerful.
00:29:41
Speaker
Well, so if you think of the opposite of victim, it's maybe more like victor or like victory, which really is like you had a test and you made it, you did it, right? You overcame it or you, you passed the test. You were victorious in that experience. So if you look at the victimizations as a challenge instead, and even the really hard victimizations, the ones where it can even be brutal,
00:30:11
Speaker
Your soul is ready for that challenge, that challenge of forgiveness, the challenge of strength, the challenge of love, all of that. You're ready on a very deep level for a really hard challenge.
00:30:27
Speaker
So then choices back to thoughts or things, what are you now going to do about it? How are you going to use this? How are you going to change that and transform that very negative experience to something that can serve you? Because that's how you become victorious.
00:30:44
Speaker
And it's not through anger, it's not through hatred, it's not through fear, it's always through love, even if it's just love of self. You know, I love myself enough to not hold onto this anymore. You don't necessarily have to love the other person, although I think ideally that's what we're aiming towards. You know, we just love and have compassion even when someone does something really terrible.
00:31:08
Speaker
I'll share this because I think it will be helpful for somebody out there. But after my divorce, I came across an article where someone had gone through a very painful separation in divorce and they talked about having a divorce ceremony. Have you heard of this? I think you've mentioned it before, but go ahead and do it again. It's beautiful.
00:31:37
Speaker
This guy spoke so lovingly. I can't remember what magazine I read it in.
00:31:46
Speaker
Acknowledging the shared time together, the relationship, the love, the ending of it, but in a way that was, you know, forgiving. It wasn't, I'm going to hit you over the head with the baseball bat. It was like, you know what? There were some good times in this. It didn't work out and it's time to move on, but we can acknowledge that this was not all bad. There were some really good things and, you know, I really appreciate you and
00:32:15
Speaker
essentially like a very loving thing, right? To forgive yourself and to forgive the other person if there were any kind of like, you know, transgressions or anything like that, but just like being intentional about, you know, like, let's honor this and move on in a loving, happy way. And so before that, I didn't really even know that that was an option. And when I bring it up to people, they are often surprised like, oh,
00:32:43
Speaker
I don't have to be angry and resentful towards this person and all this negative stuff. I don't have to be a victim. And more often than not, they're not really a victim. I mean, there's that too. You know, a lot, we see everything through the lenses of our past experiences. So I think a lot of times we think we're being victimized when we aren't, but yeah.
00:33:10
Speaker
But yes, and it is actually part of the curriculum.
00:33:18
Speaker
getting my PhD in metaphysical counseling. And that's, it's one of the rituals that they talk about, like, having training in. And it's just a really wonderful thing. You know, but that's one way just that I share, I mean, obviously, it's a personal story, but it was, you know, you can empower yourself to not be a victim and to be the victor, if you will. So then you're not, that's not, you're not tethered to that anymore. Right.
00:33:49
Speaker
Well, you know, a few minutes ago, I was kind of getting a little bit of a download and they wanted us to talk about the idea of a thought for a minute and to realize that it's a frequency, it's a frequency you're tuning into.
00:34:04
Speaker
And when you tune into anything, you're like, you're electromagnetic. You are attracting these things to you. So you can imagine, let's get back to the financial thing for a minute, just because we've used that a couple of times. If you're tuning your frequency to a thought of, I never have enough, or it's not enough, or I'm scared, I'm not going to make ends meet, whatever, right? You're tuning into that frequency.
00:34:32
Speaker
that is the experience that you're bringing to you and that's what's going to expand and become more concrete into your life because that's what you're tuning into just like a radio station you're tuning into that frequency and that's now what you're hearing and experiencing so if you tune into a different channel you'll get something else and so i think they want us to really think about the frequencies the radio stations we're tuning into and
00:34:59
Speaker
how can we expect to hear something different when we're tuned into this? So if you're tuned into something but you want something different, then you've got to train yourself to change the dial to what it is that you do want. So if you can think about it in terms like that, it might make it a little bit easier because I think you had mentioned something beforehand where someone, you were listening to, I think a podcast and somebody was channeling
00:35:30
Speaker
a woman said, I have strep throat. And so and so go ahead and explain that real quickly. What happened with that? He said, very abruptly to stop talking to her. And essentially, say, you know, you will, you kind of do if you think you do.
00:35:56
Speaker
You know, you're, you're installing this belief system that you have this disease or this virus or this infection. So in a sense, you're, this is going to be controversial perhaps, but like manifesting that, you know, energetically and you don't have to believe that.
00:36:19
Speaker
So what I want to say about that is that's really hard to do. And I've certainly struggled with this with different things in my life or something. You've tuned into that frequency and it showed up. Even if you didn't realize you were tuning into the frequency, somehow this thing showed up in your life.
00:36:38
Speaker
And now it's 3D. It's what's here. Like, OK, you've got strep throat. What are you going to do? That's what's showing up. You got to test. It said strep throat. OK. Do you deny reality? OK, so this is what has shown up. How do you shift it to a different station, tune into something else to make it go away or that it isn't a thing? And what that reminds me of,
00:37:08
Speaker
One time I was carrying my laundry out of the room and it's like a big laundry basket and it's wire. And I ran into the door jam and my shin rammed into the, uh, cause I was walking still and my shin rammed into the wire and it really hurt bad. I mean, almost brought me down. It hurts so bad. And in my mind, I'm like, it must've been a download for my guides. I was like, well, you know,
00:37:36
Speaker
a couple of four little words came out first. And then it was like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Okay. All right. Now that didn't happen. It just didn't happen. And I just saw about it. It didn't happen. Nothing happened. Everything's fine. It immediately stopped. And it wasn't that I was trying to deny that this thing existed or that this thing happened. It was more that I was trying to shift the timeline and say, yeah, no, it didn't happen.
00:38:04
Speaker
That was a different timeline. This didn't even happen, it's fine. I had no bruise, pain stopped immediately, all was well. It really was as if it didn't happen, but it hurts so bad. So I think it's kind of something like that. The magic of our thoughts, it's not linear and concrete. We can shift timelines and shift things. It doesn't have to be so linear.
00:38:29
Speaker
Jen, we are traveling further into the woo, and I love it. Isn't that what we're about?
Non-Linear Healing Miracles
00:38:36
Speaker
One of the things, and I might have mentioned this before on this podcast, but one of the things that I learned from Raymond Grace, who is the internationally known, he's like a master healer with the pendulum. He worked with somebody, he said this on podcasts before, so I don't think he would mind me repeating this, but
00:38:54
Speaker
He had said that he worked with somebody and I can't remember her age. I think she might've been in her 30s or 40s, but she was having problems sleeping because she was in so much pain her whole life. She never really had sleep. And when he started doing the healing, he realized she was severely abused as a child. I mean, probably worse than you can imagine. And he did some healing going back in time.
00:39:24
Speaker
and stopped it. And not only did she immediately start to sleep well, but I think within like a week or two, all of her scars went away. She had scars a whole life from the abuse. So he went back in time and changed that. So it was almost like she was on a different timeline or a different experience and the body healed. So- I have heard similar stories with- It's amazing.
00:39:52
Speaker
with people resolving things and then like scars healing and things like that. Yeah. So I, you know, what I encourage people and what I'm really still playing with myself is that this is not linear. No. So we tend to think of life that way. And so we think, Oh, well, this is where we're at. This is our situation. Okay. I think full acceptance of wherever you're at at the moment is important. But I also think.
00:40:22
Speaker
So back to the strep throat example, if we have strep throat, that's one experience that we landed on a possibility of experiences. But maybe we can shift timelines. Maybe we can, or if we're still too linear in our thinking, we can just negate it and say, OK, but my body knows what to do. It's done.
00:40:42
Speaker
Right. And so you can change your beliefs in different ways. And I think the further you get down the spiritual woo and understanding of how things work, I think the more ability we will have to change timelines and do different things and navigate through this crazy experience in ways that are just not linear. Yeah. And also that you're, when you start to see yourself in your body differently, you know, that your body is intelligent. It has the ability to heal.
00:41:11
Speaker
the symptoms that you may be experiencing is your body resolving the conflict is healing. It's not something to be upset about or try to take medicine to not feel. That's hard. That's a big shift for a lot of people to kind of get away from. You know, really what we've been programmed to believe that you have to, you know, go to
00:41:38
Speaker
get a strep test or go to an allopathic doctor and that kind of thing and that you could heal your life. Now, I want to make it really clear that we're not saying don't go do what you need to do medically.
00:41:51
Speaker
Because, I mean, yeah. And, you know, I think it's about mind mastery too. I think you have to be at a certain level to be able to do crazy things like that, where you've shifted a timeline and the scars go away, or you suddenly realize, oh, you know, you really hurt yourself, but no, no, you didn't. You know, so I think you have to be at the right mindset to make that happen. If you're not in the right mindset or
00:42:22
Speaker
far enough along in your understanding, it's not gonna work real well probably. So, you know, I wouldn't want somebody who maybe has strep throat to not go get the care that they need because they're thinking they can just heal it with their thoughts. But at the same time,
00:42:36
Speaker
You get to a certain level, you can heal it with your thoughts. So it's something to aim for, or it's something to work towards, or it's something to maybe more understand. But I certainly wouldn't want someone to get really sick and think that, well, you know, I was told my thoughts could overcome it. Well, they can. It doesn't mean it always will. Thank you for the legal disclaimer. I know. Well, you know, just making it clear.
00:43:01
Speaker
He, there is, but there's absolutely something to thoughts and your beliefs and healing. Right. Because one of the things that I was telling you about that, that entity in the same podcast is, you know, you can heal. We're talking about crystals and you talked about using a pendulum. It doesn't matter. He says you could use anything. Yeah.
00:43:28
Speaker
If you believe it and there's an intention behind it, it could be anything. The modality is almost, it doesn't matter. Um, but then if you know, like you can accept that and believe in it, it will happen. The healing will take place, which is fascinating to think about. So, but if you believe that it's not possible, you know, then it's not going to happen. Yeah.
00:43:55
Speaker
So you do have to be open to certain things, but once you've seen it, like I've had, I've had clients had miraculous healings where they prayed to mother Mary and tumors that they were going to have operated on disappeared. Yeah.
00:44:18
Speaker
And when they describe it, how it has been described to me is that I felt some kind of energy enter my body and it left and the tumor was gone. And I knew I had been healed. And it's utterly fascinating because that does happen. Like we can't deny what that happens. And in the instance that I'm referring to, there was medical documentation of it all.
00:44:49
Speaker
super interesting thoughts, your beliefs, how that can all impact your life. Yeah. And it's really hard to change when things are really negative. You know, if you're experiencing a lot of difficulty, trying to get out of that with positive thought just feels like insult to injury.
Reshaping Reality with Affirmations
00:45:08
Speaker
You know, we all have a process we have to go through and there is a choosing that has to occur.
00:45:18
Speaker
it sometimes it feels very delicious to dive into the anger and the negativity and another thing, you know, like that kind of a thing, you know, and just to be on a roll with the negativity. Sometimes it feels very satisfying in the moment.
00:45:34
Speaker
Well, one way to think about it and from working with subconscious beliefs that people might be interested in is to, you could do like your own self hypnosis. I have things on my YouTube channel, you know, but that I am becoming healthier every day.
00:45:56
Speaker
in saying that to yourself. Day by day, moment by moment, I'm becoming healthier every day. I'm grateful for my health. What you were saying to yourself is very important. Now, it can be other things, but whatever your particular challenge is, whether it's addiction or something else, food, I don't know, anything. But I think you have to believe it, at least to some degree.
00:46:25
Speaker
If you're saying something that you don't believe, then maybe it's time for hypnosis. Well, you're, if you're saying it to yourself, yeah. You know, repeatedly, you know, in a way that the meditation is, is that, you know, it will replace with your mix. I've not done your meditation. So there are hypnosis meditations where it replaces the negative beliefs.
00:46:52
Speaker
Yeah, you start to program your subconscious mind into having a healthier outlook on a particular challenge, you know, for a lot of people, like I was telling you about fear and doubt, you know, my own training and my own work is, you know, day by day, I'm becoming, you know, fearless, or I am free from fear.
00:47:18
Speaker
I am immensely confident. I am extremely focused. I'm becoming extremely disciplined. Those types of things. You start depositing those positive thoughts in your bank, your mental bank. And if you're doing it correctly, you're trying to do it.
00:47:39
Speaker
at times like in the morning or in the evening before you go to bed, where your mind is in a certain state where you start to plant those new essentially thoughts with the intention that they're going to blossom. And a lot of things that plague us are sort of simple truths, right? Like I am enough. I like to really believe that. A lot of people don't believe that, that they are enough.
00:48:07
Speaker
They don't. And so it comes across. I was in a restaurant the other day and this waitress was apologizing incessantly to everybody. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And I wanted to be like, stop saying sorry. You're just doing your job. It's okay. But it was coming from a place of fear.
00:48:35
Speaker
You know, and this is not someone I know or anything like that, but just like you start to see things as you work on yourself and other people. But yeah. But that you don't have to be afraid. You know, you can say things to people or you don't have to take their crap.
00:48:57
Speaker
Well, and I think the value of what you're adding with it being more of a hypnosis state is that a lot of times people do affirmations and it just doesn't land. It's not landing because they've got too many subconscious beliefs that go in the opposite direction of what you're trying to plant in. Um, so hypnosis is perfect for that.
00:49:21
Speaker
still have to be open to it. Because a lot of times, I think I brought it up the last time, you know, people think they want to get better, but they really don't. Yeah. And the same goes for healing too, right? I mean, like you can say you want to be healed, but you really don't.
00:49:36
Speaker
Well, one of the things I work with with my clients is, you know, if you say you want to be healed, so you're coming to my office and you're saying you want the session, you want to be healed. I always look for the buts, you know, but because there's always a reason because it's always serving us in some way. So whatever the challenge is, somehow it is serving us. And if we can figure out
00:50:01
Speaker
how, then we might be able to uncover those more hidden beliefs that we have or the thoughts that we're having. Because those records are playing constantly in the background and trying to pay attention and hear that thought that was just playing. Because you're thinking of something else consciously, but this other thing is going on back here. They could be working in opposite directions. And then what you're trying to manifest isn't going to work. Yeah.
00:50:31
Speaker
Thoughts are things, but so are your subconscious thoughts. They're sometimes even more important than the conscious ones. Well, that's, you know, as we were talking about, it's not as simple. It's bringing awareness to the thoughts that are running your operating system. Yeah. You know, and how I explain it is that it's the code that you're really, it's driving the shift. And if you don't get at that code, that's what's going to keep steering it.
00:50:59
Speaker
Yeah. One of the crazy things that I realized, gosh, maybe a few years ago, it hit me out of the blue. I was like, you know what? I have a subconscious belief. If I was to get all the things that I'm trying to accomplish and just have it done, I probably wouldn't be alive anymore. So what was bringing up resistance to my manifestation was
00:51:29
Speaker
this idea that I would die if I manifested everything. Because then what's the point? Like, what are we here for? Which is another thought, another belief. And so I just thought that was really fascinating. Sometimes it's really deep. What would happen if you got all the things that you want, if you achieved everything and you felt totally fulfilled in life? What would be the downside? And there are downsides.
Complexities of Manifestation
00:52:04
Speaker
Well, what would be, so you're saying there would be an announcement if you got everything you wanted? Well, what I was experiencing in that moment is, you know, in human design terms, I'm a manifesting generator. So I like to create things. And if I got everything I ever wanted, everything I've ever tried to do, it all just worked out. I would feel really bored.
00:52:34
Speaker
I'd have nothing to work towards. And that's a major thing that I strive for. Like I need to keep creating. It's just a natural part of who I am. And if I wasn't doing that, or if I felt like everything came so easily, the joy of creation would not be as fun either. So it's just kind of interesting. There's downsides. And so then,
00:52:58
Speaker
as you're working through whatever your thoughts and beliefs are around that, does it really serve me to believe that? Probably not, but it's where I was. It's probably where I still partially am. And so trying to heal through that belief system of, I don't know, life needs to be a struggle sometimes. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I don't need to create more struggle though than it needs to be. So.
00:53:26
Speaker
It's funny. It's like this divine perspective, but it's a self-limiting belief when you are limitless. Yeah. Create the next thing. I did. We started talking about Mike Dooley. I did want to share this. I don't know if you would call it an affirmation. Maybe it is. It's from Louise Hay in her book that I was mentioning earlier, How to Heal Your Life.
00:53:56
Speaker
But I find these words very beautiful and I'll share them because I wanted to keep this positive. In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. Each one of us, myself included, experiences the richness and fullness of life in ways that are meaningful to us. I now look at the past with love and choose to learn from my old experiences.
00:54:25
Speaker
There is no right or wrong, nor good or bad. The past is over and done. There is only the experience of the moment. I love myself for bringing myself through this past into this present moment. I share what and who I am, for I know we are all one in spirit. All is well in my world. Beautiful.
00:54:57
Speaker
Well, I think we all need to remind ourselves that there is beauty in this world and there's beauty in us sometimes. Always. It's there. I wish it being playful. Well, Jen, any final thoughts on thoughts or things and being positive amidst the storm?
Practicing Patience and Non-Judgment
00:55:24
Speaker
Yes. Try not to judge yourself.
00:55:27
Speaker
Oh, that's a good one. Be patient with your process as you are navigating through it because nobody's perfect. And even the best masters, the people who have mastered their minds, they're mastered their thoughts. They have moments where they're not at their highest game.
00:55:49
Speaker
We can't always be at our highest and best all the time. So give yourself a break. It's okay. Just recognize where you're at, what you might've done wrong or could've done better and do it better next time. That's it. Just keep plugging it. Yeah, being nonjudgmental is such an important way of being.
00:56:14
Speaker
Yeah, it is one of the most valuable thing lessons that I continue to work on because it's always a practice. But you know, it's funny, we were talking about staying positive. It's one of the steps in Beshar's. I don't know, what does he call this? Excitement formula, or living your dreams?
00:56:40
Speaker
You know, being in the moment, but acting on your excitement, your passion, whatever is most exciting to you in the moment and do this every moment that you can. But one of the steps, step four is choose, choose to remain in a positive state regardless of what happens, which is critical, I think. Yeah. Well, because I think our, and I think our natural tendency is
00:57:09
Speaker
to just operate on that old platform, that old operating system until we question it. And even when you learn how to question it, you're going to falter sometimes. You're just not going to remember because it's so ingrained. And so just have patience. Yeah.
00:57:32
Speaker
I'll add this, I guess, but choosing to be positive and choosing to see the good in others like you that's a choice. Yeah, it is. I was talking to somebody they were like, well, I can't be friends with that person. They have different political beliefs. And I'm like, Come on, man. Practice non judgment. Like, who cares? How do you even know what
00:57:58
Speaker
they may or may not believe about anything or everything anyway. You can either choose to be judgmental or choose to be non-judgmental. You get to pay. Some of my best friends, I'm sure, if they knew what I believed, they'd be like, yeah, man, I don't know.
00:58:23
Speaker
You know, I would never allow that to color my perception. Well, now with what I've learned, it obviously was not an easy thing to do. Um, but it's worthwhile worthwhile work and to know that in any moment you choose how you show up. So, you know, choose wisely and work on figuring out what you want. Yeah. What do you want? So important. Beautiful.
00:58:53
Speaker
Well, hopefully this was helpful and positive in these times, Jen, you're feeling lighter, which is good. You know, hopefully people start to, if we all started doing this, by the way, individually, you know, the world will start to shift any more positive direction. So keep that in mind. Absolutely. Great point.
00:59:17
Speaker
All right. Yeah, be well. Bye. Bye. We are so grateful that you joined us. Check out the description to learn more about us and also for additional resources to help you on your journey.
