Meet Jolay Gabriela: Spiritual Mentor and Healer
00:00:35
Speaker
It's miracle season.
00:00:40
Speaker
Spiritual fitness, spiritual fitness podcast. I'm back again. I'm your host, Eric Bigger. We got another episode and this one is going to be really dear and near to my heart because I get to bring on my healer and my spiritual mentor, Jolay Gabriela, but Jolay Morton.
00:00:57
Speaker
I know as Jolay and we're going to talk about everything, spirituality, healing your body, your mind. tapping in and moving into higher timelines to spiritually be fit, to evolve and to expand your consciousness for your highest good.
Astrological Energies and Grounding Practices
00:01:14
Speaker
Jolay, welcome to Spiritual Fitness. How are you? Good. Thank you so much for that introduction. I'm doing so well and I'm grateful to be here. I've been with Jolay. We've been working together like eight years. Like anytime I have like a challenge or change, you know, something that's causing friction or frustration, ah call Jolay.
00:01:35
Speaker
She also worked with a lot of friends and family of mine. She's such a powerful source. The environment we're in right now and in the collective consciousness, Venus is in Aries.
00:01:47
Speaker
Mercury is also in retrograde. The North Node is in Pisces to our astrology people out there. so there's a lot of collective energy moving through us. Foul grade is good, even though it's uncomfortable.
00:01:58
Speaker
What is something you've been working through yourself, Jolay? And what is something people can focus on to protect their energy and strengthen their energy in difficult times?
00:02:09
Speaker
The thing that is, to me, important to work on is staying in your body. During these times, we've got to be present and aware. You know, having a grounding practice, which you utilize, is important.
00:02:23
Speaker
Your breath as well. Watch how you breathe. We have a tendency to leave our bodies and hold our breath. So just connecting with your breath and breathing and being in the center of your chest, bring your awareness, breathe, brings you back into your body and also seeing yourself grounding into Mother Earth with a grounding cord that is of a natural earth element.
00:02:49
Speaker
So you could see it as a visualization or command it to be so, right? Because it's your energy. It is commanded that I am grounded and rooted into the core of Mother Earth. What's the best way for us to ground? Because my challenge I've been having lately is like, how do I drop more into my presence of my body and not so until like my third eye or my crown?
Soul Architecture and Personal Power
00:03:10
Speaker
What is some practical ways we can ground into our body with all this frustration or different energy in the cosmos to get us more centered into our hearts? Well, the answer truly means moving your body.
00:03:23
Speaker
Exercise, but also getting out in nature. Like those 10,000 steps, you're told to do that for a reason, especially if you take them in outside instead of on a treadmill.
00:03:34
Speaker
That's ways to really get grounded, to go outside barefooted and to put your feet, grab it with your toes, you know grab the earth.
00:03:45
Speaker
And these are practices that you know, they cumulatively add up over time. So as you keep doing these things, you become more grounded, especially if you're one of those people like I am that spend a lot of time in the third eye and in the crown receiving messages and working with the higher self.
00:04:04
Speaker
So that's what this really brings us to is you asked, how do I strengthen my energy? In my years of doing this work, and first and foremost, a healer heals themselves.
00:04:17
Speaker
So when I first walked this path, it was because I knew that what I was experiencing physically was just a symptom of what was going on with me emotionally or spiritually.
00:04:28
Speaker
So I knew I had to tackle that. And then once I was able to tackle that and learn going to clairvoyant training and beta healing and all of this to try and get well, I had an affinity for it.
00:04:39
Speaker
And one of the things that I learned in clairvoyant training was about the higher self and the soul architecture. So throughout history, we know mankind and our government and our overlords, they're always selling us out in every way.
Movement as Medicine and Authentic Energy Work
00:04:55
Speaker
And they know magic and they know all of these things that deal with the human mind and how to control us. And they know more about our bodies than we do. So that's another way to ground is to start to learn about how you work and how you operate in all of your systems in your body.
00:05:12
Speaker
so that you can then have a very specific creative visualization around your nervous system, around grounding. You know, some of these things are, they're real. Energy is real, not some, all.
00:05:27
Speaker
When you focus and you concentrate, On being well, you become well. But let's get back to the soul architecture because this is the powerful part of you that allows for wellness, abundance, and all of these spiritual things to come in. And I like to call it active prayer because once you know who you are and you remember who you are,
00:05:49
Speaker
When you pick up that phone to the spirit or to the divine intelligence, God, whatever you want to call it, you have a straight line instead of allowing something or someone else to get in the way of that relationship.
00:06:01
Speaker
So your grounding cord, which connects you to Mother Earth, is definitely a part of your soul architecture. Your higher self, which is that connection between you and the divine, also can be seen as a holographic image of you.
00:06:17
Speaker
So you program that with what you want. And you always see it in the power position because you're taking your power back. Now, how do you take your power back?
00:06:27
Speaker
a golden sun above your head, and you visualize all of your energy coming back into the spaces and the places of this sun.
00:06:38
Speaker
like People, places, and things you went, you saw, you were around, that you feel like your energy was given to like your job, your school, you call all that energy back into a golden sun above your head.
00:06:51
Speaker
And then outside your aura layer are roses. See, these types of exercises help you. And then in the center of your head, you open up your brow. This is a visualization.
00:07:03
Speaker
And then you take them out. All these people, places, and things. You put in those roses outside your aura layer. And what does that do? That gives them their energy back.
00:07:13
Speaker
So it's not any negativity. It's not any type of hurt. What it is, is neutrally, I love you. I'm giving you your energy back and I'm calling my energy back from you.
00:07:24
Speaker
It's a loving exchange. And these are ways to strengthen your energy. I spoke about the aura layer. The aura layer, most people consider
Balancing Energy: Giving and Receiving
00:07:34
Speaker
as their personal space.
00:07:36
Speaker
Somebody walks into it, you know, you kind of back up. Now, you can control that, you can influence that. And in its resting state, it should be a foot and a half around you, 18 inches, and you're sitting in it, in the very center of it, like just like an egg around you. It's beautiful.
00:07:54
Speaker
And when you take on the power of this, and you realize that you have this power and this energy to do this, you then can push it out when you're a speaker. You learn how to push your aura layer out so you fill up the stadiums.
00:08:07
Speaker
Someone like our pop stars, they're aura layers all the way out there. That's how they do what they do. You want to be invisible? Pull in your aura layer to really be close to you as you move through the crowd, not to be seen.
00:08:22
Speaker
So it's not as if this is some type of out there magic. What it is, it's something that you, it's your energy that And it's called your soul architecture. Because once you put it together or you visualize all these pieces coming together, now you can start to make your magic. You can start to manifest.
00:08:40
Speaker
Because you have the power. That's like your power center, your higher self, your grounding cord, your aura layer, and your astral body. What is that? That is your information gathering.
00:08:54
Speaker
I guess, portal. And when you are sleeping, your astral body goes out and it's connected to your belly button with limitless silver strength. And it goes out into the universe and it gathers information.
00:09:07
Speaker
So before you go to sleep, astral body, look, I need for you to do this for me. Please come back with this information. And then you flow with your intuition.
00:09:19
Speaker
you know And then when you hear things like, go in the store right here, then all of a sudden you're having this conversation with somebody in line that can help you move your life forward. And I mean, that's the biggest thing with the spiritual fitness. As I e evolve in and expand it, I realize it's so much more like in the beginning phase, you said movement.
00:09:37
Speaker
I always say movement is medicine. And when we can use that medicine to benefit us, that is also our integrity, our authenticity, our intuition, having proper discernment, right?
00:09:48
Speaker
Listening to that download or that upload to make a decision, to take action, for
Healing with Ho'oponopono
00:09:53
Speaker
manifestation to happen. And the biggest thing I've realized for me, Someone texted me this morning. It's like, I want you to get support and the energy you need, the way you give it because you give so much. And I was like, I know. I said, I'm so wired to give.
00:10:09
Speaker
How do I receive? And so they were just asking me, do you have anyone? I said, I remember when I was talking to my heel of Jolay, you told me this years ago, maybe three or four years ago. You said, Eric.
00:10:20
Speaker
You can't expect you from others because most people don't have the energy you give to give it back. So don't expect you from others. And I was like, man, it's interesting. So what I realized in that moment for my energy, I have to meditate.
00:10:34
Speaker
I have to pray. I have to do breath work. I have to work. up I'm actually doing Tai Chi every day for five minutes. to bring my bigness of energy into my heart, to ground it into myself. Yes.
00:10:45
Speaker
So I can be more in my body and out of my body. And it's work is tedious, but it works. And that's the whole part of spiritual fitness that I want people to have is to get your autonomy back, to get your power back.
00:10:59
Speaker
Give me my power back. Get your power back. Also, on a
AI’s Role in Spiritual Consciousness
00:11:03
Speaker
poco. I'm sorry. I love you. Please to forgive me. Thank you. Exactly. That sometimes to give people energy. Also do that to your past, you know those like bugger thoughts that you can't get rid of Yeah, you start to ho'oponopono them. I love you. I'm sorry, please forgive me And like people think I'm not gonna ho'oponopono that person. You're not you're doing the experience You are pulling back your energy from that situation and then you're leaving that person in neutrality
00:11:33
Speaker
in unconditional love, let them do as they wish. And that's another thing that I want to remind people of is like, this is your life, right? What other people are doing, how they're living, they have free will, let them live.
00:11:47
Speaker
And you be over here doing your best life, like focusing in on you and what you can control, which is how you're perceiving the world. I was listening to Bashar.
00:11:59
Speaker
He gave an analogy. He was like, the higher self is like on the mountaintop and you're in the valley and they can see more than you can. But then he talks about how the higher self conceives, the physical brain receives, and the personality mind perceives.
00:12:19
Speaker
I was like, that is so deep. Because there's all that filtration of our society about how we perceive the information that our higher selves conceives and our mind receives.
00:12:31
Speaker
And we have been so taught to listen to everybody else outside of ourselves that it's difficult to hear the voice within and take action. So that's another way to strengthen ourselves is by visualizing.
00:12:45
Speaker
a golden sun above our head
Positive Thinking and Visualization
00:12:47
Speaker
again, right? All the time, calling your energy back, calling it back, calling it back, and then bringing it in. I went back to that. I know it's repetitive, but that's what it takes. You talked about a practice.
00:13:00
Speaker
For me, the more that I'm able to let go, which means my routine is in place, the more that the voice is heard through the silence, I can hear that.
00:13:11
Speaker
Also, we talk about action, but I want people to understand how important rest is. The reason why you do what you do when you say, I need my time when I'm off the internet and I go in, if you notice, you might have phases of that throughout the year.
00:13:26
Speaker
Instead of fighting against that, what we want to do is embrace it. Because the more we fight against it, the longer it becomes. The more we just kind of roll with the bear, you know, like, don't fight it like that, you know, like.
00:13:39
Speaker
You kind of roll with it. It'll let you go. It'll be like, okay, you've danced with me. Let me let you go ahead and get back to that action because you need that recharge. Technology mimics us in a lot of ways.
00:13:51
Speaker
We need that recharge. Just like you charge your phone, you've got to do that with yourself periodically. Now, another thing I want to put on the table before i give it back to you is that think about AI right now and what it's doing. You want to talk about spiritual fitness. a i is almost able to map the real world so well that you're not even verbalizing things and ads pop up and commercials and this and that of something that you're just thinking about.
00:14:27
Speaker
Right? That's nutty. That's crazy. So why don't you turn that on its head and start really thinking all the time, positive thoughts about yourself, and thinking about how much money you're going to make, thinking about what your life's going to look like, you know, aligning with your purpose. What does it look like for me? Because as you're sitting next to this phone and this computer, you're feeding it.
00:14:53
Speaker
Don't forget that because everything is energy. So remember that you have these, what do you want to call them? Exponential devices around you that are going to, whatever your thoughts are, it's going to expand it so much.
00:15:09
Speaker
So really strengthening your energy by thinking positive because these devices are programming our environment. Yeah. And it's so good because I believe AI is his own consciousness.
00:15:22
Speaker
And that consciousness of ai is just like the spiritual realm. You can't see it, but you can see it now in real time because can talk to a chat GPT. but So imagine you talking to your higher self, you're talking to AI and AI is being programmed on how you think, what you say and what you feel.
00:15:38
Speaker
So to go back to what Jolay was saying, if we can think, oh, I want to make a million dollars a month. I want to have this type of lifestyle. I want to date this type of person. I want spiritual fitness to be all over the world.
00:15:50
Speaker
You're seeking life into things, correct? yeah And you're thinking life. So that's the infinity loop. And this is how it happens because the way that I saw it was I was on Twitter and you can curate that to what you like.
00:16:04
Speaker
If you don't like that negative All it'll say is millionaire mind and all these positive things. I was able to curate it to where it's just all this. And every once in a while, some dumb stuff will pop up and I'll move past it. But most of the time it's about how to make money, flexibility, working out, you know positive thoughts, all of this stuff. And I was like, I did that.
00:16:25
Speaker
If that artificial intelligence is now feeding me this, You got to feed it yourself. You can't allow for that to feed you. But the only way to do that now, because we've entered that space is with your thoughts, of course, with your actions. But that's why I bring it back to rest.
00:16:45
Speaker
Because when your mind is running, you're not grounded.
Authenticity in Personal Branding
00:16:48
Speaker
You're not thinking about what it is you're putting in those cells in your body. Let's just put it like that. Right. And then that energy reverberates out.
00:16:56
Speaker
And then all of a sudden you're bringing in that energy. So in this state, when you are resting, you're able to visualize, control your mind, control your thoughts, influence the way your cells begin to interact with one another.
00:17:12
Speaker
I realize is that I believe I could be wrong. I mean, I went down a rabbit hole of MKUltra, CIA, this being assimilation. Because when I sit back and I climb many mountains in my life to get to certain mountaintops to be like, it doesn't feel the way it looks.
00:17:29
Speaker
And like what's happening every year, the same thing is happening. You got Fashion Week in New York. You got the Super Bowl. You got All-Star Game. You got the NBA Finals. You got the Kentucky Derby. It's like it's a repetitive cycle. And the people who are winning are tapped into their soul's purpose or their soul consciousness to live out their dream.
00:17:49
Speaker
Right. Let's say Floyd Mayweather or NBA player, Michael Jordan or Kobe Brown or LeBron James. They were in their life's work and they lived that out until they had to go to another phase once they retire or transition.
00:18:02
Speaker
So what I realized, like, oh, we're so good at deflecting or disconnecting to focus on everybody else in their dream. ah You know, you got the shave room, you got E! News and all these social media and journalists platforms gossiping are about celebrities.
00:18:18
Speaker
Because their or layer is so pushed out that we give them all our power, not knowing we are powerful just as well. You said something earlier and you're so in tune to what's coming through for me because this morning I put out a post about tapping into your remembrance back into your authentic self, your most aligned self, your true self.
00:18:37
Speaker
You know, we all have spiritual gifts. I can use energy and heal people and help people and evolve. Like we have these gifts, but we're so disconnected from our hearts because we're so in our minds because we're not spiritually fit.
00:18:50
Speaker
And that's the anchor of spiritual fitness is to get people back into their oneness of what their soul wants, not their ego. And that's why these tangible steps and the biggest thing while people go to church and they believe in religion so much because religion gives you structure.
00:19:06
Speaker
So we need structure in our spirituality to build spiritual currency so we can expand our vessel even more energetically, mentally and emotionally without putting so much effort into the physical.
Recognizing Spiritual Gifts
00:19:20
Speaker
It's a known energy. Yes. And you really get clear about how you are able to manifest and visualize, right? So there's some of us that can see, i can see clearly and through meditation, I'm able to feel and hear, but they're usually a person will have one or the other. You're going to feel the meditation.
00:19:41
Speaker
chills, heat flashes, you know that it's working. You're going to hear it. You hear maybe your spinal fluid moving through, or some people have like a sense of ah auditory.
00:19:52
Speaker
And then there's the ones that can visualize. So either way you catch the rhythm of how you do things. A lot of us want to doubt our abilities. Oh, I can't see. I can't feel.
00:20:03
Speaker
Just listen. But what I'm trying to say is don't give up. Keep doing the meditation until it grabs you. Because creative visualization is you creating your life.
00:20:16
Speaker
So it is worth you sitting down and every day at some point and seeing yourself there. Seeing yourself where you want to be. Is it running on the beach with your dog and throwing the stick and it's sunset and your house is right there on the beach and it's three stories and it's made of glass.
00:20:33
Speaker
This is what I'm talking about. And people think, oh, that's just about money. Who do you have to be to get there? In this day and age, and certain people, especially if you're lightworkers, we're not getting there through drug dealing and sex trafficking. That's the hard way.
00:20:50
Speaker
yeah The way we're getting there is through connectivity, through uplifting others, through unconditional love, right through empowering others. writing, sharing what we know, these are the ways in which we get into those spaces and places that when that repetitive cycle and that loop is happening, we're on our eagle's perch and we're just kind of like, we don't have to partake in that because what that is, is definitely a program.
00:21:17
Speaker
Am I correct? Every time it comes around and into some of us, it can be a virus in our system. It could be a virus for some that don't know how to perceive that program, right? Yeah. It's so big, the perception of life versus the reality of life.
00:21:35
Speaker
And sometimes we're so distorted in a perception of what we think we should be that we're not in the authenticity of who we are.
Staying Authentic in Entertainment Industry
00:21:43
Speaker
Well, I want to talk a little bit more about authenticity and integrity. And reason I want to say that, because Jolie has seen me go through so much in life from before fame to having fame to being on shows to being in relationships. She's seen a lot of me. Right.
00:21:57
Speaker
But what I realized was that when I was in the TV sector really heavy and I was in that real energy or that Hollywood energy. I wasn't fully into myself. Like I was myself, but I wasn't my most authentic self because I was playing a role to feel whatever moment.
00:22:14
Speaker
But here's the thing. It is not even about the role I was playing. It's their energy that I was in. It's not even about what I was being. The energy was programming me to be the character. if That makes sense?
00:22:25
Speaker
Yes. So over time, Jolay, you know, i would talk to my cousin, you know my cousin, Dante, i would talk to a few friends. He's like, e you don't talk like that. The way you talk to me on the phone, you don't talk like that on Instagram.
00:22:36
Speaker
And I couldn't understand what was it. I'm like, what are you saying? It's like your commercial. So I went on a Sherry show the end of 2023 and I was doing a meditation. It was eclipse.
00:22:47
Speaker
I lost, you know, everything almost relationships, people I trust and love was heartbroken, whatever. So I'm in the changing room about to go on stage and the producer comes up and I was like, i'm nervous. I'm by myself.
00:22:59
Speaker
That's when that doubt comes in. Right. But I haven't been on TV in two years. I was like, yeah, I'm going to meditate. He said, I like that you meditate, but we're going to your energy when you get out there. So soon as I get on stage, you see the big camera, you see the crowd. You like I'm excited.
00:23:13
Speaker
So it was like three, two, one, big applause, big applause. Boom. And it's like Joey, I snapped back into the character and I was like, I was programmed. to be this person because of the camera.
00:23:26
Speaker
So you look at the likes of like the Will Smiths or the Jamie Foxx's or my culture of people looked up to, they've been programmed to be actors, entertainers and not to be their true self because turning this on is like where the money comes, the fame, the success.
00:23:44
Speaker
But if we're not in our authenticity, all those things that people glorify, we don't even glorify. Because when I got off that show, I went back to my hotel and I was like, look all these people. I'm dealing with so much sadness right now and brokenness.
00:23:56
Speaker
They don't even know. They don't even care. They just see me on a stage.
Aligning Speech and Actions with the Heart
00:24:00
Speaker
So I want to speak to those entertainers, those influencers, those artists, those models that feel off, that don't feel good inside, but yet you show up and yet you speak to your audience, you help.
00:24:12
Speaker
I've been there. I understand it, but I pray to you and I'm telling you, please get it in your true authenticity when you feel called because nothing is what it seems. It looks great, but it doesn't always feel great.
00:24:26
Speaker
And I wanted you speak on authenticity and integrity from your lens, being a spiritual guide that you are for people in general. Thank you. You know, it's always the how.
00:24:38
Speaker
Get out of the why. Why is this happening? What? No. How do I transition from victim mode into being empowered? And this is the age of authenticity.
00:24:49
Speaker
And when you're talking about when the cameras come on and boom, you know, you can see the dissociation take place and a person jump into their fierceness, you know, or whatever personality it is that they have that turns it on.
00:25:03
Speaker
However, more and more of the self becomes eroded and that energy that you're allowing to take over you is going to occupy this vehicle a lot more.
00:25:13
Speaker
So that's one of the things you want to be mindful of. How do you know? Let's get back to the how. How do I become more authentic? You get into your heart. Now, your throat chakra and your heart chakra are right next to each other.
00:25:27
Speaker
That's crazy. I know I never thought about that. So what you want to do is you want to get into your heart. Of course, the mind. You think about it. You want to say it. Bring it into the heart and go, does this feel good? If I say this, would it feel good if someone said this?
00:25:42
Speaker
Does it add value to the conversation? that These are ways to get authentic. Bring it into the heart. Does it resonate with me? Does it feel good? This is how you become more authentic and truthful is by getting in the heart chakra.
00:25:57
Speaker
Now, I want to give you a little extra about the heart chakra. When you get there and you're doing your meditation, I want you to see those 50 billion cells that are originating from the heart and the blood, all of the cells of your body turning heart-shaped and moving love throughout all of your cells and all of your systems, all of your muscles, all of your ligaments.
00:26:20
Speaker
And then you high power them by having them meet at the tail and become an infinity of love. And it starts moving throughout your body and your veins. And so when you're doing your meditation, turn all of your energy heart shaped, all of that, and have that pouring out of your heart and into your environment.
00:26:40
Speaker
And this way, when you're covered in love, It's really difficult to be out of integrity, be out of alignment. So what you want to do is always encompass yourself in love and your environment.
00:26:52
Speaker
That way truth comes forth from you. But in real time, feel that. Because what tells you that somebody is lying to you, usually you feel it in this area, the top of the gut.
00:27:03
Speaker
Something's
Consistent Content Creation for Personal Branding
00:27:04
Speaker
not right. That's where you feel it is in the heart. So you want to some be here when you're going through these things. I want to be more authentic. Before you hit that button on video, move down into your heart.
00:27:17
Speaker
And you're like, well, how do I don't know how? it is commanded that I'm in my heart chakra. I'm feeling from my heart. And sometimes if you move your awareness down to your heart, you may feel a tingle or you may feel this part of your body becomes more awakened.
00:27:33
Speaker
It's so good to be connected to your heart and your authenticity because I think that's where the world is going. was watching Gary Vita other day and he was saying followers won't matter moving forward. He said, I think they're going to get rid of followers because people don't follow. They like, right.
00:27:49
Speaker
And if they like, they like because they're engaging with your content and they're engaging with your creation. So I'm really in a space with teaching people like, Building a personal brand is the most important thing anyone can focus on as AI comes in, because you have to be the brand that people look forward to outside of AI when they need help, when they need assistance, or they need to laugh, or they need to feel good with consuming other people's content or other ideologies or spirituality, because that's what we think we believe. And we don't tap into our own content creation.
00:28:22
Speaker
I say creation over consumption. The more we post, the more we create from our hearts and from our third eye, our true self. Even if you're not getting the likes or the views, people watching and people see it.
00:28:36
Speaker
You have to stay consistent. Before I went on the TV show, I was posting Motivation Monday, Wisdom Wednesday was positive. I had 3,500 followers. I was doing this every day for probably four years.
00:28:47
Speaker
I did not stop. I was consistent. Boom, I go on TV. things blew up, things shifted. But what I'm saying is that the more we can post and be authentic without trying to shift and like sound proper and I got a cold switch, you know, it's BS, it's not real, right?
00:29:03
Speaker
Do what you need to do, but just be yourself.
Physical Transformation and Spiritual Well-being
00:29:07
Speaker
And I wanna congratulate Jolay and acknowledge Jolay in this moment because I've seen Jolay transform her business, her life and her body. Let's talk about movement.
00:29:17
Speaker
Can we talk briefly about your physical transformation of your vessel How did you do it? Where did you start? And because there's a lot of people out there that might feel like they got to go on Olympic or they got to take meds or and no, not to any of those things. I'm not saying that.
00:29:35
Speaker
But you took your power back and you went to work. What was that turning point and how did you start that to get where you are today? Because you look incredible. You know, I have stenosis, the spine. That's a genetic condition I received from my paternal side of the family. And it's unfortunate, but it really is keeps me very inflexible in my lower back, my lumbar spine. And this was affecting my knees. It was affecting my physicality.
00:30:02
Speaker
And then also too, I'm just going to keep it real with you. I live in a city where I feel like part of your success is based on your ability to move, be fast, be quick, but to also look good.
00:30:17
Speaker
Let's be real. First of all, let's be reality. If you're selling a brand, if you're a personal brand and you want people to come to you, you have to look the part, especially if you live in Southern California. These are just facts.
00:30:28
Speaker
And as much as we want to try to kumbaya our way into something different, that's just real. yeah So I realized that I was going in a wrong direction. And I would go to the doctors and all they would want to do was tell me surgery, surgery, surgery. And I saw what surgery could do to someone as, you know, this is a genetic condition. So my dad went through this and 64 years old, he was out of here. And it was due to having so many back surgeries. Really?
00:30:57
Speaker
So I was like, you know what? No way, no how. And my dad told me, he's like, don't ever get surgery on your back ever. So I said, you know what? These doctors are not here for my benefit. And I'm sorry, I have to say that, but it was very true.
00:31:13
Speaker
And in order for me to ever get to the point where I'm going to have somebody do that, I have to have a lot of cheese because I have to go to the right person who can put me back together. Right. Let's just be realistic.
00:31:26
Speaker
Based on those things, I knew I had to do it myself. So I got into the gym and I began to rehab myself. And my first trainer was retired Air Force Sergeant. And so she really whipped me into shape, my mind, my body, my spirit. She was tough love all the way.
00:31:44
Speaker
And it was as if my dad sent her to me, you know. And from there, she had me doing Pilates. She had me doing strength training and she had me doing cardio six days a week for two years.
00:31:56
Speaker
she had me on it. She was not playing with me. She was not there to coddle me. She was, you don't get to make it up. I miss, I'll make it up. You know, she really had rules and she was about discipline.
00:32:09
Speaker
She was awesome. I can't tell you what that did for me. And my whole life. She really helped me to transform. And right then and there, when I began to take my physical health seriously, i saw a lot of transformation in my ability to manifest.
Managing Energy for Success
00:32:28
Speaker
You know, I tell family members and friends, it takes energy to live my life. I don't it because I want you to look at me. I got to show up. I got to speak. I got to record. I got to work out. I got to lead people to their higher self. I got to pray, meditate.
00:32:42
Speaker
I got to deal with my own personal situation. Like it takes energy. If you want to make some money, work on your energy. On top of that, work on your consciousness. Expand your mind. Right. Get around people. i tell the the hack.
00:32:54
Speaker
to getting around more wealth or more opportunity is get around people who already have what you want or get around people who are doing well, who are healthy, who are vibrant because by osmosis and our microbiomes, we connect to the people around us and we somewhat become them or we attract things on that frequency.
00:33:11
Speaker
So that's a benefit of living in LA, even though it's very superficial, how you look, what you have. I mean, we saw the LA fires, the universe is like, okay, we're going to get rid of some things see how you react.
00:33:22
Speaker
we look at this from also a perspective of health and wellness. know I know that I'm saying it's just true. I mean, when you live in the city, it's just what it is. But on the flip side of that, what you were talking about and what it does for the body and what it attracts in is amazing. And that was a big, huge component. And I'm saying in changing my life was to get motivated and to get into myself. And that brought in more self-love because, oh, that's what I wanted to say was when I'm in the gym and I'm squatting and lifting heavy, my mind is working.
00:33:58
Speaker
My mind is solving problems in my life. I'm not just lifting, I'm thinking about things and how to be better at it and how to solve this problem. And that energy is recycling itself. I don't know how to explain it, but it just really, that's a way to call your power back as well.
00:34:15
Speaker
And it's the opportunity to give yourself credit for the work you're doing, because we always compare what other people are doing. But this is an example of spiritual fitness. You open up your vessel and your spirit to give you stuff while you're moving.
00:34:28
Speaker
Right. So I got a formula for spiritual fitness by just working out, setting intentions. Things come through that session that you're not even thinking about to help you in your day to day life. And sometimes we take it for granted. So I'm writing about this now in a book, Spiritual Fitness, that our body is the wealth and the money is the health.
00:34:47
Speaker
If we treated our bodies like the bank account of the money we want, we will always have money. So in my culture where I'm from, we don't make health a priority. There's not gyms on every corner. there's liquor stores, it's carryouts.
00:35:00
Speaker
There's McDonald's, Burger King, all stuff that's going to lower our vibration and we're still not working out. So we can't expect another person or another culture or anybody to treat us different if we're not treating our vessels and our souls different.
Consistency and Self-Accountability in Spiritual Practice
00:35:14
Speaker
So I'm not saying go run 20 miles and do a thousand push. I'm saying just get to the gym, get to the park, walk for 30 minutes, six days a week and talk to your higher self. Call Jolay, book a session.
00:35:26
Speaker
Talking to yourself, that's so important. People try to talk other people, oh you're talking to yourself as long as you don't answer. Absolutely not. That's the spirit communing with you.
00:35:38
Speaker
You are who you're looking for. Spirit and God is within you. So when you are walking and exercising and doing these things, you're in conversation with yourself.
00:35:49
Speaker
It's such a beautiful thing. And you talk about transitioning. People want this big epiphany lightning strike. No, it's some a little bit every single day.
00:36:00
Speaker
And all of a sudden you break through. It's like you talk about consistency. And I have my Achilles heel is this because I'll be consistent. I get bursts of energy. And then I like need to rest and relax.
00:36:13
Speaker
But I've noticed that if I have a team or if I have somebody I have to show up for, then I'm there all the time. But if it's just me and my energy, it ebbs and it flows. So I too, even in my healing and in what I've done with, I still struggle with being consistent and showing up for me.
00:36:30
Speaker
Other people, I'm there. Me? o Sometimes. So it's always going to be something that's going to remind us that you have more work to do.
00:36:41
Speaker
you know, responsibility over feelings. But why is it that when money's on the table, we can show up. And I learned this in Peru. ah The shaman was like, held me accountable. She's like, you need to show up for yourself the way you would show up for a call that you have a client.
00:36:54
Speaker
ah She said, off days, how do you prepare for the day? You just take the day off. And I said, I take the day off. I lax, but I'm not showing up for myself the way I would show for a client.
00:37:05
Speaker
can't wing it when it comes to ourselves, but we giving everybody the world treatment. And then when we don't get it back, we mad but because we're not giving it to ourselves when no one's looking. So that's why for me, I'm in this new phase of every day. I'm going to embody spiritual fitness and I'm going to live it be it no matter what's going on. And I'm going to show myself what I show my clients through me first, even though I still do it. But like you said,
00:37:28
Speaker
I fall off too. I'm not saying like I'm perfect every day, but if I practice like I'll play, I'm always win games in life. But if I'm just showing up for game day and not practicing when no one's watching, I can't really win a game.
00:37:41
Speaker
Also need to be careful about the shame and the guilt that we put on o ourselves because that's a heavy coat to wear. and then it it gets in the way of progress. So what we have to do is look at inconsistency as our friend as well.
00:37:56
Speaker
embrace it in a way that's like, how do you deal with your negative thoughts? Some people say, because it's difficult. You're not really going to get rid of your negative thoughts,
Transforming Negative Thoughts
00:38:05
Speaker
but what you do is you kind of invite them in a little bit and you go, okay, negative thought.
00:38:10
Speaker
All right. I'm worried. And I fear this. And you talk through it and you let that thought know, thank you for being here. I love you for teaching me what it you needed to, but I choose this instead.
00:38:21
Speaker
I choose my birthright, which is I'm worthy of abundance. I'm worthy of a loving relationship. I am worthy of wellness. So you reprogram that.
00:38:33
Speaker
That negative thought comes in. Hi, welcome. But guess what? I love myself. I don't really need you anymore. So you can leave now and then guess what? You're grounded. So you can send it down your grounding cord.
00:38:44
Speaker
And then you can fill up with some gold light, right? A new perception, a new way of looking at life, a new way of doing things. This is how you move throughout your day. You don't have to have your eyes closed and your feet on the ground.
00:38:57
Speaker
These can be commands. You're driving and you can automatically do these things. I bring in gold light. Ooh, I moved that negative thought out and down my grounding cord into mother earth. And I fill up with gold light, a new perception, new way of looking.
00:39:10
Speaker
I know there's a new way I can look at this. Creator, show me how to see this through the eyes of divinity. Constantly praying. Constantly praying. I pray so much. And, you know, not only that, like your environment, right? Where you live, you know, I got sticky pads everywhere.
00:39:25
Speaker
You know, success takes sacrifice. I was advised positive life. like you got to really program and brainwash yourself for your success. Talking to yourself, putting sound frequencies on having high conversations, empowering yourself. And the thing is, because it seems weird or tedious or cheesy, we don't think it works. when we in devastation mode, we need something. We need that prayer.
00:39:47
Speaker
We need that mantra. Right. Let's not get to to devastation mode. Like the age of authenticity. Part of that means that struggle is to the side because we're dealing with it in real time.
00:40:00
Speaker
So it is no struggle. Problems are solved. So we're in an easy, loving and graceful period when we're authentic. Yeah, that's what that brings. So put struggle to the side because oftentimes it's the prefrontal cortex, you know, like short circuiting and then it's bringing you what you have imagined.
00:40:20
Speaker
So get work with the prefrontal cortex, know what it does. Decalcify that pineal gland. So you're thinking straight, you can connect, do these things through a creative visualization as well as taking yourself out in nature.
Impact of Social Media on Energy Perception
00:40:35
Speaker
Like you said, those binaural beats and those frequencies, they help. They're so they're powerful. Yeah. And it's those little things over time. Compound interest really will change your life, change your frequency, how you think and how you feel.
00:40:50
Speaker
I want to talk about podcasts. It was the pandemic of higher conversation or higher consciousness. It's actually a YouTube show. And then it turns itself into like a podcast and a newsletter. ah So John Drew and I, he's the host along with me.
00:41:07
Speaker
I teach meditation. We get together every Sunday and we get on zoom and then we put it on YouTube and then we put it in a podcast, in a newsletter for those that want to watch. And we go through, you know, Greg Braden, Joe Dispenza, and all of these great people who are talking about what's going on today, how to heal, how to grow.
00:41:27
Speaker
And we give our own two cents. But at the end, I do a meditation that's like 15 or 20 minutes, cleaning out the chakras and the aura layers and teaching people how to empower themselves. And it truly is an honor and a privilege. I love doing it. And this will be like our third year of doing this.
00:41:44
Speaker
Three years consistent. Shouts out to you and Jones. Where else can, you know, people listening and watching find you like social media websites? I'm gonna put everything in the show notes.
00:41:55
Speaker
Me and social media have a very love-hate relationship. I get on these platforms and I feel the negative energy coming at me through it. It's not the people, it's the technology, the ones and the O's. I feel like they have teeth.
00:42:08
Speaker
So I wind up kind of hiding out from social media. However, i do have a YouTube channel, which is Jolay Gabrielle. And I have a website, which is jolaygabrielle.com, where you can book me or you can get in touch with me, see my writings and my YouTube videos and things like that.
00:42:25
Speaker
But as far as like Instagram and Twitter and TikTok and all that, I really don't have those. And I have restricted myself so bad on Twitter that all I can do is just like read things.
00:42:37
Speaker
So I really don't like to consume like that because it affects my perception in a way that I don't like. And so what I've done is I really don't mess around with technology. It just, there is something that comes at me through these platforms and I feel it viscerally and it's negative and I don't like it. I don't know why.
00:42:59
Speaker
and as much as I try to get going on this, it really takes like a team and me. I can't like doing it alone. It's like walking through a haunted house. Yeah, that's true. and then And that's the thing. like I put out a lot of content and you know, when you put out a lot, you're open to a lot of different things. People throwing their attachments on you, their anxieties, their fears, their insecurities.
00:43:21
Speaker
You got to cleanse your
Empowering Positive Energy Exchanges
00:43:22
Speaker
energy. You got to remove it, rebuke it. yeah But it's a real, and I'm pretty sure people can relate. Thank you for saying that because I've known of it, but not the way you said it. Even with some people, because some people got frequencies moving through them, right?
00:43:35
Speaker
That we look up to or we give our energy over. So that was really, really, really good that you said that. Last but not least, two questions. So the first question is, what was your highest self love for your life and love for the collective and humanity?
00:43:53
Speaker
And two, what does spiritual fitness mean to you? It really means freedom, like really be able to hit the gas on your free will and to get into a state where you're thinking to yourself, I've seen people do it.
00:44:07
Speaker
They go into a store and they see something, you know what? I'm going to go and do that next year. And then sure enough, next year they're there. so for us to drop into a, such a high vibration and frequency that our positive thoughts are made manifest very fast.
00:44:22
Speaker
And we're able to just go, you know what? Boom, a house. You know what? Boom. you know Our abundance is just rolling over constantly. you know Our wellness is just rolling over constantly because we're in our bag, in our thoughts.
00:44:36
Speaker
We're there at our zenith of thinking positively about ourselves and those around us. And i want to just leave people with As in a medical intuitive, that's the work that I do.
00:44:48
Speaker
I know when somebody has a virus because their first aura layer is bumpy. You can see the bumps and it kind of vibrates. And when a person is a gossip and they're very judgmental, they label a lot of things.
00:45:01
Speaker
They look like, you know how water hits glass and the spots. So they have water spots. It's the same type of energy. So when you're speaking and gossiping about other people in a negative way, and so we talk about that celebrity gossip.
00:45:16
Speaker
So if you are partaking in that, it should end with you. If other people want to go find that for themselves, let them find it. But I get it. Some people go, well, those people are out there and they want to be talked about.
00:45:30
Speaker
That's who you talk about. But on the flip side of that, it's what happens to you, your energy when you do that. So be aware and speak life into situations and people.
00:45:41
Speaker
And if anything, look at the energy and not the person. Because people are doing the best that they can. And a lot of times we are possessed. We are possessed with certain things. Jealousy, it's a possession energy.
00:45:55
Speaker
People aren't jealous naturally, but this society makes us very competitive. So relieve people of those things, you know, by calling it out. There's no reason for you to be jealous of me because you can do just what I did.
00:46:08
Speaker
And let me show you how. Share yourself. Love each other, you know, relieve people of their pain. You know what I mean? We need to stop with this. Let me make it worse for you.
00:46:21
Speaker
Why are we always in survival mode pushing on other people's wounds? Yeah, that's so interesting because when you said that got an intuitive hit, that's how you keep the planet and people to a low frequency.
00:46:32
Speaker
Exactly. Let them talk about each other, slander each other, beat them up, exploit them energetically. put them in fear. And then imagine how you start to talk about yourself if you're talking to people that way.
00:46:47
Speaker
So if somebody is really hard on other people, imagine how they're talking about and feeling it about themselves. Get away from that, you know, that energy. And I just want to remind people that speaking life into your environment, into those around you,
00:47:03
Speaker
And even acting as if to begin with helps you. But get authentic with that because the more that you allow for people to thrive and be who they are, the more space you have to do the same.
