Speaker
Thank you. So you guys, we actually met, I want to say it's been like, I don't know how many years now, three years potentially, we actually met in a um coaching container and we have followed each other ever since then and just became friends. So do you want to just go ahead and let us know like, what exactly are you up to in the world right now?
Purpose of Raising Vibrations
00:02:15
Speaker
I'm over here trying to save the world. ah You know, I'm truly just out here really following my heart, you know, following that inner voice of um that inner voice meaning for me is the highest of the highest, you know, the creator, God, the infinite power is just truly just following where it's seeing me and In doing so, I've been meeting some incredible, I've been like aligned with these incredible people that are doing amazing things in the world to impact and to help the collective. And so for me, that's, it's a blessing because that that is my highest, utmost um purpose, you know, is to help help raise the vibration and the frequency of the collective. So that's where I'm at right now.
00:03:21
Speaker
you know And through that, I'm doing that through sound, you know sound healing. I'm doing that with helping um homeowners switch to sustainable energy you know in a way to help our mother earth as well. you know the The less we um depend on the dirty fossil fuels, the dirty grid, you know we help mother earth because you know they don'ts it's it's
Sustainability and Conscious Living
00:03:49
Speaker
a process. you know A lot of people don't know that Like we literally are drilling her, you know, we're literally like exploiting her. And so if we can like really connect and be conscious about the power of the sun and how that can empower not only ourselves and our bodies, because I'm also a big advocate of like body movement and my connection to the sun and connection to the water, just an overall sustainable lifestyle. And so that's why, um,
00:04:22
Speaker
my Instagram is aligned soul mom lifestyle because I show and I advocate for like a sustainable living. And I share a lot about my lifestyle on my, um, on my page, but yeah, so that's what I'm doing. Just really just trying to spread healing, you know, and, um, because when we heal ourselves, we raise the collective frequency and the vibration. So.
Life Before and After Spiritual Awakening
00:04:51
Speaker
That is my ultimate purpose in this world is just to continue to be a light, to be a light um for those who are ready, you know, those who are ready to follow that light because truth of the matter is not everybody is ready.
00:05:06
Speaker
And that's okay. Yeah, I, oh my God, I have so many questions for you, like literally about everything you just said. And can you take us back to what was your life like before you have stepped into your purpose, before you had like your spiritual awakening or maybe can you guide us through that process because it's like now you're on this other side and you are giving back and you're helping others like so you can obviously relate to them in some way so like what was life like for you before you stepped into this purpose-driven life? ah Quite frankly it was nothing like like what it is right now it my life has prior to my awakening I was it's like I've died and
00:05:52
Speaker
had a whole rebirth because the person that I was then is no longer the person that I am now. You know, even though i I understand now that every version of me was needed, you know, every, yeah, every version, every um person that I had to be at whatever timeframe.
00:06:17
Speaker
you know, that's what needed to happen to be where I'm at right now. But I, uh, back then I was very disconnected, disconnected. Um, I'm talking about, you know, just very, uh, focusing that masculine energy driven by that, you know, um, hustle hard culture and focused on, you know, making the money and, you know, um, getting the, you know,
00:06:46
Speaker
moving up the ladder, you know, and, you know, work, build. Yeah. So, you know, very disconnected, right? Like to the point where, you know, when I moved out here and I bought my house, ah you know, where I currently live, my mom wanted to plant all these like plants in my doorway, you know, i'm my little garden. and And I told her, I was like, no, mom, I for that. I can't, you know, I don't have time to take
Isolation and Challenges of Awakening
00:07:11
Speaker
care of anything else. You know, just very disconnected to plans, very disconnected to like,
00:07:16
Speaker
the animal world, very disconnected, just like literally I was living on this like, very robotic, I guess, you know, very robotic, very into the ah routine, you know, very into the routine where, you know, I was just like very linear. And so after my awakening, it's like my whole feminine energy kicked in. And then that just threw me all off because I, you know, as far as I can remember, I've always been very in my masculine energy.
00:07:45
Speaker
And so when this feminine energy came through, it was like, I had to relearn myself again, and I had to die, and I had to grieve that death, and I had to go into this period of being alone. Because that too, when you awaken, you tend to feel like you're going crazy, and then you start to kind of go inward.
00:08:12
Speaker
and realize that, OK, if I tell people what I'm thinking, they're going to think I'm crazy. You kind of start isolating yourself. you know And then um shedding those layers. And yeah, it's it's it's it's saying it's incredible. you know it's It's because I never could have imagined. Like if somebody would have told me 10 years ago, hey, Maricu, you're going to be a healer. You're going to be a water keeper. You're going to be like, what?
00:08:42
Speaker
No, you know, so now my biggest joy is to like give back truly just to give back and, and whereas before all I thought about was surviving. How can I, you know, just my, my state of just like in a way selfish because I was just like, as long as I have a job, as long as like I keep going, as long, you know, um,
00:09:08
Speaker
truly wasn't mindful about what was going on in the world. you know Like I said, I felt like I could just focus on what I need and what I have to do to survive. you know um And so now is like the the opposite. Now is like, I want to help. you know I want to be of service. And so again, it's like night and day. Night and day truly just um truly went through like this transfer and I'm still going through it, right? Like the journey is not where we get us to a stop and that's it. Like it just keeps evolving and we keep shedding and we keep growing and it's like things don't get easier. It's just now we have more tools to get out of our bag and to like help ourselves and to be aware.
Journey to Sobriety and Personal Growth
00:09:58
Speaker
So the gift of awareness also is just incredible because now
00:10:05
Speaker
you know, I'm able to be aware of why I'm feeling a certain way, if I'm feeling a certain way, and the little triggers and, and start helping myself analyze and be like, okay, so then this is what I need to work on. You know, that, that awareness is truly, truly like a blessing. But yeah, so that's a little bit of how that was, that was the old me, you know, um,
00:10:34
Speaker
Also to just, I'm going, I'm going to be four years sober, alcohol free this coming new year. Yeah. So that in itself too, you know, I used to use alcohol as a coping mechanism. I used to, you know, for whatever, if I was, if I was, um, happy, if I was sad, if I was, um, you know, uh, wanted to celebrate something about, you know, whatever I used alcohol for.
00:11:03
Speaker
everything. I used to be the one who would always want to go have a drink at the bar. you know and that drink would be like oh one two three drinks you know um And now like, just recognizing, you know, a lot of what I was doing to my body, what I was doing to my spirit, you know, and just making that decision because that's all it took really was just a decision that I was going to stop drinking. Well, it was my husband's idea. Actually, I have to be quite honest. It was what else he just told me one day, babe, we should just start stop drinking alcohol and stop eating meat because we stopped eating meat at the same time. And I said, OK, all right. Yeah, you know what? Let's do it. And that's all it took. That's all it took. And for me, it's like,
00:11:58
Speaker
what that's all because at one point in my life I remember because I used to commute from LA to the Inland Empire and I remember one day I was driving and I thought literally thought I don't think I could ever stop drinking you know just just because that's that was my go-to you know that was how I coped um and so for me to have been able to just Give it up so easily. Yeah, it's it's been it's been, again, I'm just beyond, you know, when people ask me like, how are you? I'm like, I am blessed and highly favored. And I mean that, you know, and and because I have abundance in so many different ways, you know, and um that is a gift in itself as well. You know, to see life in such a light, you know, that you feel complete.
00:12:57
Speaker
You know, even though we go through the, you know, to through the ups and downs, the ups and the flows, you know, but overall to feel just so seen and so felt by the divine. Yeah, that that's the gift. That's the gift.
00:13:21
Speaker
I love that. It's so crazy and interesting because um the same thing kind of happened to me. I stopped drinking as well. And I remember it was when I started dating my now partner, George, he it was kind of like, he never was a big drinker. He never really actually drank. And so his thing was like, Oh, I just don't want to date someone who drinks, you know, so it's like, if we want to move forward, that's just not the kind of person I want to be with.
00:13:43
Speaker
And that's all it took for me to be like, wait, because I already didn't want to drink anymore either. because But I just like couldn't stop. like It was just so entwined in every part of my life, in every friend group. every Everything is like a reason to drink. It's so ingrained in our society. And so I really feel like he was such a blessing in my life, too.
00:14:03
Speaker
And so sometimes it really is like these little angels that come and just like, oh, like, yeah, it can just be a decision, you know, and I never thought I would stop drinking. I honestly thought that it would be so boring. I was like, I was like, ew, like who just has like a normal like life where they just go to work and like they don't drink like that just sounded like complete.
00:14:21
Speaker
ah horrible to me and now I could not even imagine my life any other way because like I said we still have those like challenges and shadows that come up but it's so much easier to work through them like sober right because we don't have that intense like for me it was like intense like anxiety or just worry about like how I was last night or like what did I say or did I embarrass myself just like things like that yeah that part where you start realizing like man the reason too are how it made a the made it easier for me to stop drinking was because um it was like just draining my energy, you know? and And it's not like I would get drunk, you know, flat out, but it would just take a whole week for me to feel normal again. And so that's when and when my husband said, you know, we should just stop drinking. I was like, you know what? Yeah. Because I was like, why am I putting my body through this?
00:15:18
Speaker
You know, why am I doing this? You know, it's just like you said, it's so normalized. and And especially in my culture, you know, in the Mexican culture, like we start drinking since very young. And, and you know, it's it's normalized. You go to family parties and it's like you have the uncles like, oh, here, you know, drink one and the cousins, come on, drink one. And, ah you know, at at a young age.
00:15:41
Speaker
At least, I don't know if they do it now still, but at least when I was growing up, you know, um, that's how it was. And so it was so normalized. And so for me, it was just normal thing to do, you know, like you said, like, who doesn't drink? Like, what are you talking about? But, you know, looking back, I remember when I was dating my husband, he told me, he said, and why do you, cause I have a 25 year young daughter. And when I met him, she wasn't 21 yet. And so he said, why, why do you let her drink?
Cultural Norms and Conscious Parenting
00:16:10
Speaker
You know, and I'm like, you don't understand, we're mixing in, you know, like it's normalized. But now, you know, that I see things in a different light, I'm like, like, yeah, like, what are we thinking? Like, you know, at a very young age, our brains are still not developed. So we don't even know how we're going to, you know, react to alcohol, you know, and and then that's when like, addictions come in, might kick in too, you know, at ah such a young age. And so.
00:16:38
Speaker
You know, I learned all of that now and I see things different now, you know, and so now I have my, my toddler, you know, she'll be five on the 30th of December and, you know, for her and for my, for my first born too, you know, just to be an example that it's possible to stop drinking, you know, and, and that, um, yeah, so it's, it's been really, really, that's the beautiful thing that I'm,
00:17:06
Speaker
so grateful for because my husband has been such a foundation um um and has impacted my life so beautifully in so many different ways you know and just to have his support you know and to be the the catalyst of many of my changes but never has he ever pushed anything upon me because there's this kind you know misconception that you know I've heard or I've been asked if he's the reason why I've changed, you know? And it's like, no, at all. Like, if anything, he has allowed me to just, you know, learn and evolve on my own, you know? A lot of things that he used to tell me that ah didn't resonate when I first met him, and they started clicking afterwards. And I was like, oh, that's what Eric was talking about, you know? But he has never pushed anything on me or like has told me, oh, you know, given me, you know, do this or think this way or, you know, never. Um, but he's definitely been such a support, such a support and that has allowed me to like just evolve and, and grow in my own time, in my own way. And, um, and yeah, just, he's such a ah support also too, like where for my, you know, my sound healings, my, my events, you know, he's there, he shows up with me, him and my toddler and,
00:18:33
Speaker
it's It's really like a a family thing really, you know, because soul even now is true is working on like learning how to play the bowls and like she'll say, mommy, I want to give you a sound healing. And so just to be able to also be, you know, uh, an example for her to like help her grow with those tools as well. Yeah. I mean, again, I can't, I can't be more, um,
00:19:03
Speaker
Grateful, you know than what I already am. I mean I could and I am but It's just it's it's such a beautiful gift and I'm just so grateful so grateful for all all the changes all the Even The heart, you know the hard days you already know, you know working through the shadows, you know, just again unlearning so much You know and relearning So yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at.
00:19:35
Speaker
I love it. I know I feel like you're honestly you're one of my favorite people on Instagram to watch like your stories. You're you inspire me so much because you show up so consistently on stories and it's like you give people a real look like into your life and like baby soul like I should be so cute like I would like you just shared a real I don't know if it's a real or just like on your stories the other day of exactly what you said of her like hey mom I'm gonna do like a sound healing or like oh mom like this is let's meditate and I'm like oh my god this is like such a beautiful example of like conscious parenting and yeah you're just such an example of like what it can look like to really raise like a human into this world to like have your same shared values and um just even being at well we got to meet you guys in person when I got to go to Mardi Cruises Sound Healing um one that was in Los Angeles and so I got to experience that like your husband and and soul also there like helping guide and facilitate and it was like
00:20:30
Speaker
it was the most beautiful experience because it felt like there was always like energy and just like presence and like some sort of instrument like at all times. It felt like there was like 10 of you guys, you know, but it's because like you have their help. And so it was just so special. So yeah, I just wanted to tell you that. No, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we get that a lot that um the family dynamic makes it a very safe space. You know, so Yeah, and so is soul giving.
Supportive Relationships and Personal Growth
00:21:01
Speaker
Soul will give you her heart, you know, like, seriously, she's such a light. And, and my husband, he's just that embodiment of like the divine masculine, you know, always in his essence, like very respectful, very loving, very supportive. um And so yeah, like, I've truly like, I feel God was like, all right,
00:21:25
Speaker
you've been through a lot. It's your turn now. Because I've had my share, I've had my share of, you know, the heartbreaks, you know, the, you name it, you know, being cheated on. um That was like a recurring thing for me, you know, for whatever reason, I kept attracting the cheaters, you know, and so I feel like God, when I met Eric, it's like, I literally was just like, okay, I'm not going to focus. I'm not going to look. I'm not going to. And then I met him and never left his side since our first date. So yeah, I feel truly, truly blessed. But I also know that, you know, I, I feel regardless of all this stuff that I've been through,
00:22:20
Speaker
I have never ever wished any ill will on anyone, you know, no matter how bad I've been hurt. And so I feel like God said, okay, I was like that karma, right? Because now is like, I am, I am blessed. I am blessed. I can't, I can't emphasize that enough. And I'm grateful for that. I truly am. And, and for that alone, I feel so seen, you know, and so loved.
00:22:49
Speaker
by the divine. So yeah. I feel like it like just, I love it so much too. I love like this pure like love that you have. And wouldn't you say that like being in this like divine like you know union also helps you kind of step more into your purpose because it's like, okay, now you're not out there searching or like seeking for love. like I feel like that used to be me. like I was really like always seeking a part outside of myself. And like now that I have this very like stable, healthy, loving relationship,
00:23:20
Speaker
it It allows me to just like flourish even more into myself because it's like that kind of safety is there and like we're no longer trying to find something outside of ourselves. It's like, oh, we have this like stable, secure relationship and then we're able to just be even more ourselves. Right, right, right, right. We don't focus our energy, like you said. It's like it' we feel so safe that we get to go deeper within ourselves.
00:23:47
Speaker
and And know that we're supported in that way, you know, that we can be o ourselves, right? Because yeah, like i've I've come across people that tell me like, I love how, you know, you guys are all on the same page, you know, because for whatever reason, you know, there's couples that some are not, you know, the wife might want to not eat meat anymore. And the husband's like, well, I'm eating meat, you know what I mean? Like even just simple stuff like that.
00:24:17
Speaker
And so with me and my husband, like we were very aligned. We're very aligned and not, but without pushing each other. It was like, Hey, like he has been telling me for, uh, I want to say a year, like we need, we don't need to. He's like, we should fast, but he's talking about like three days or so or two days. And I'm like, Oh, I can't, you know, I haven't, I mean, I fast when I am in ceremony, like a whole day, um, day and a half, maybe.
00:24:47
Speaker
But I, I told him just a couple of days ago, I said, I'm ready. And he's like, ready for what? I'm ready to fast. Like, I'm ready. So that's how we want to start this new year. We're going to fast. I want to do a 72 hour fast so that we can just reboot our system, you know, and, um, and get like, uh, a ah true cleansing, you know, at a cellular, cellular deep level, you know, and
Fasting and Intentions for Sound Healing
00:25:14
Speaker
so. um I'm praying and I'm affirming that I will be able to finish that this this coming year, new year. yeah You got this. Yeah, I got this.
00:25:26
Speaker
yeah I love that. Can you tell us, okay, so I just want to say that you're bringing it back to sound healing for a second. your like The medicine that I received from you was so beautiful. like I was so relaxed. I literally felt like, and I told you this, I kind of felt like ah like kind of like an out of body experience. And it was also so beautiful because it was on the on the beach, very close to the ocean. so it wass like the water that i feel like you're so connected to and then like all of the instruments and just you like guiding us through it i would like kind of come in and out of like i wouldn't not consciousness but like i was aware of where i was but then also i would kind of be like
00:26:08
Speaker
out in the ethers. And it was just so beautiful. And I feel like that only happens to me when I feel so comfortable. And like, it's like, I kind of feel like it's like a soul resonance that you have with the medicine girl, you know, or like however you want to see it. So can you kind of talk to us about like, why is it so important to find the right healer? And why also is it so important to like set the intention for your, for the sound healing?
00:26:36
Speaker
and so um Honestly, and as you notice, I always, always have the participants set intentions, because also to our words, all our words, but also our thoughts, they they hold a frequency and a vibration. And so when we, you know, put our thoughts together and set an intention, um we really can bring that into fruition because we're putting it out there, you know, as a vibration, as a frequency.
00:27:07
Speaker
And so um and by law right by law, it is said that if you ask, it is given. So why not use that in in you know in our favor and set that intention and bring that you know that much more um power into the experience. And so I always have the participants definitely um set their intentions and and it's in I always, and
00:27:38
Speaker
Well, I don't always, but it is very important to know who is going to be opening up this portal of energy, your energy with with the crystalline balls. What are their intentions? you know How clear is their energy? you know Because energy is not to be taken lightly. It is it is truly our life force.
00:28:06
Speaker
You know, and so we need to be also be very careful who we allow in our space, in our energy field. You know, just to know that that person has good intentions, which I'm pretty sure all healers should, but you know what I mean? So just very um intentional of who you're receiving the medicine from, as well as what intentions does that person have, you know, for the medicine and for the participants.
00:28:36
Speaker
But yeah, intention setting is so important. And um even though sometimes we set our intentions, like I had this one person, she came to me, and she said, you know, my intention that i I thought of, it didn't come into fruition. But what came through was she's like, I was able to be with my dad, and to tell him that it was okay for him to cross over. Like he had, he He didn't have the need to to hold on, to continue to hold on, that it was okay for him to go. And so for me to be able to give that gift, you know or be a vessel, to be used in that way through sound, because sound can open up a
Nature's Role in Healing and Challenges
00:29:19
Speaker
portal like that. Sound is truly the fundamental of creation. And so it it is a channel to connect with the divine, with the most high, with God, creator, whatever that you call your most highest power. And so I also,
00:29:34
Speaker
um, like to let the participants know the power of sound, you know, so they can really just open up themselves even more. So, you know, just knowing what they can obtain, you know, um, healing, you know, at a mental, physical, emotional, spiritual level, you know, but also our body, you know, like physical, I just had my knees, um, last week. Um, she,
00:30:06
Speaker
She's going through some health difficulties and her hand locked. So she couldn't move her her her pinky finger. And when she told me that, I was like, okay, we need we I need to give you a sound journey. And so we planned it the next day. she Her finger was locked and she showed it to me. And during, I had not even finished playing the bowls.
00:30:36
Speaker
And she looked at me and she said, and ah at first I was like, what is she saying? You know, but she was showing me that she was able to move her fingers. Oh my God. And so for me to be able to do that at that level for my family, I'm truly, truly just continue to feel feel so loved and to be used in this way, you know, by God, because truly like,
00:31:05
Speaker
Me starting to play the balls was because of my family. When I first experienced my first sound healing, when I came out of it, I was like, my gosh, my family needs to feel this. And that's how I got into it. And so for me to like come full circle now and like truly help them in this way, yeah, it's it's incredible. It's incredible. Wow. That's crazy. That's really cool.
00:31:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And and then her, so her sister too, um, my other niece, she had, she got Bell's palsy. And soon as I found out too, it was like the next day. All right. and And I take them to this, to nature because again, like nature is so healing. Our mother earth has so much medicine. And so I always, my, my sound journeys by preference is out in nature.
00:32:00
Speaker
Yes, it's beautiful to receive, you know, a very quiet, just the bowl sounds. But when you immerse yourself in sound of nature, like birdsong, like the rustling of the leaves, because the little lizards are, you know, moving around, um the leaves moving in the trees, the birds, you know, flying and giving us the crows crawling, you know, it's just, it's incredible. The wind blowing. um Yeah, it's it's just a whole different layer of healing. And so I also took her, you know, i'm next to the water in the stream. And she wasn't able to hold her breath prior to the sound journey. And when we were done, she was able to hold her breath and keep her mouth closed. And so again, like, I'm like, okay, God, keep using me, keep using me, like,
00:32:54
Speaker
i there's just no word I don't even know how to explain it. I don't even know how to put it in words. you know Because this was truly and genuinely the reason why I got into a song meeting. So, yeah. Oh my gosh. I love it so much. And I love it because like it's like...
00:33:14
Speaker
all of us can use these different modalities, but it's the person. It's your soul essence that comes through that makes it so special. like you know The fact that you are so connected to nature, it makes sense that you're gonna do your healing in nature. And then it brings in this like beautiful element for people, like you said, to like be connected to the animals and the sounds. And like it's just so you, which I think is just like so special. like Your frequency that shines through just makes it feel like so Like just so connected to source I feel like you're so connected to source that you can feel that through like your transmission like it's so beautiful Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, and and the more and more God just comes great spirit continues to just give me like these ideas like I just I had like I have this series going on to that just starting a long ago about um
00:34:10
Speaker
having the the participants going to like a cocoon um and using the violet flame and like alchemizing and like, and you know, going through like this chrysalis and like waking up out of it and feeling lighter. And again, just nature, right? Caterpillar, butterfly. um Yeah, truly, I just continue. That's my prayer. I just keep telling God, I continue to use me.
00:34:38
Speaker
But guide me, you know, because this is not me. This is not my doing. Like half of the time, you know, I'm like, I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm just allowing spirit to move through me, you know, and I just asked for the courage, you know, to do it. I just asked for the courage to obey, you know, because, um, when you're truly walking in from your heart, again, it's not an easy thing to do.
00:35:06
Speaker
So I definitely always ask for courage and and strength to keep doing and and for me to keep following my heart you know and always calling on my ancestors you know because I'm also doing it for them. But um and yeah, it's it's definitely been such a beautiful journey. you know A lot of um um lot of tears.
00:35:30
Speaker
you know This this this a journey of healing is is not an easy one. and but it's such a beautiful one and such a rewarding one. And so I'm just so very grateful for how my life has turned this far, you know, and and all of the twists and the turns and the ups and the downs, like just grateful for it all.
00:35:52
Speaker
who I love that. And I feel like it's so interesting because it's more than even just like the instruments that you're using. Like you said, it really is kind of like God guiding you and working through you. um I had this experience that I told you about like privately through the DMs, but I went to have a sound healing at this kind of like pretty like famous place I would say I don't know if it's famous is the word but yeah like a like a lot of people go there and I expected this like insane experience and then you guys I told Maddy Cruz how I ended up having like an extreme like anxious reaction and I've done sound healings before so it was like really weird to me I didn't understand why I was having like oh literally legit I was having like a panic attack and I was like what the hell is going on like
00:36:38
Speaker
leading up into the sound healing and then actually like him playing the bowls and um yeah i just felt like my intuition was telling me something but i didn't really understand what it was and so i had to ask Kamari Cruz like why did i feel this and then she also ended up going to the same place in the past kind of having a similar experience of just like like not having the best experience and so i just want to say that it's like you can tell such a difference between people who are doing something and going through the motions and they're kind of like it could potentially even be like for more for like a profit and not necessarily like that's their soul's calling it's like it felt very like like, um commercialized very like Disneyland vibes where they were just like, not connected to source. And then yeah, you really explained it so well how I was probably picking up on these like energies that they probably weren't clearing. So can you kind of speak on that, like those vibes? Because I feel like you really explained it to me you really good. Yeah, um, you know, energies can really contain themselves in a space, especially
00:37:49
Speaker
in spaces where there's a lot of different energies coming in and out. And so it's very important to clear spaces, which is why, like for me personally, when I start my sound journeys, I always clear the space. I try to do it before, you know, everyone gets there, but, um you know, if not, then it's at the start of it, but like asking permission, you know, to clear and also to put like a protection grid over our space. Because again, the crystalline frequencies, they open up portals, pretty much, you know, and so it it it is not to be taken lightly. It's not like, Oh, we're just gonna go and you know play some balls and get you guys relax. Like, no, it's it's something it's really a ah sacred practice. You know, at least that's how I see it.
00:38:42
Speaker
It's a sacred practice. So yeah, definitely clear, um, the space and the energies. And, and so I don't know if they do that or not, but to, from what I was able to see, um, they didn't like not intentionally anyway. And so it's very important to like, yeah, cause all of that energies was just put as an, as an example, like somebody that lives with cats, you know, like no matter how much they clean.
00:39:12
Speaker
You know, they're like, if somebody lives with a lot of cats, no matter how much you clean or how much you take care of the space, you're going to get cat dander on you. So that's that's just kind of like energy, you know, when wherever you go to spaces or, you know, um with a lot of people, energy can attach, you know, and can stay. So smoke is a great way to clear energy or even the ah the the ah heartbeat of the drum.
00:39:42
Speaker
the vibrations that the drum create, it'll distort and clear energy. So definitely, um maybe what you was feeling was, you know, if they do the maintenance, you know, energy maintenance, a lot of energy, you know, you're more of an empath. And so you pick up on stuffs more easily. and um And so yeah, that was my take on it. I'm like, maybe you were feeling it was a lot.
00:40:11
Speaker
You know, because that's how I feel sometimes now, even just going into places that before I was okay, you know, now it's like if I go into a mall, like I can't be there for a long time. ma There's a lot of people, a lot of energy. um And so, yeah, being very mindful of that and like clearing our energy is very important.
Sound Healing as Self-Care and Spiritual Growth
00:40:33
Speaker
so Yeah, I think I love, yeah, I think I love so much that you use the drum and you use like other instruments. So that makes so much sense because they were more of just like, it was more of just kind of like, oh, like come in here and I'll like sit down and then like, it wasn't even really a heartfelt like introduction to what we were going to experience. And so yeah, it just was weird. And I think it was just like, I was feeling weird vibes. But yeah, it makes so much sense. I was probably just picking up on like a lot of people's energy. yeah Yeah, no. And I'm with you. I'm with you because I actually went there where you went. It was not it was my birthday gift for myself. Because I'm like, I want to receive too. you know I'm ready. And my friend suggested and one of my sisters. She's like, oh. And I'm like, yeah. I was so excited. I was so excited. But when I left, I was like, what is going on? I'm like, no. It didn't, it just, no. Like you said, very commercialized. you know Beautiful, beautiful area.
00:41:29
Speaker
you know Um, the sound, you know, it's amazing, but yeah, the intentions again, intentionality is, is key for sure.
00:41:41
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like it was like missing like the soul. It was like missing like the soul connection and yeah, like the intentions. But yeah, it's just funny. It's funny that we both like felt the same thing. So like, okay, I really thought it was crazy. I was like, am I crazy? Because everyone else seems to be like, I mean, I don't know their experience, but ah everyone keeps going or like, you know, it's so popular. So I was like, what is actually going on? But it might actually just be a lot of people's first times. And then they're like, Oh, that's maybe they felt good for them, or maybe it didn't. But I hope that if it is their first time, and they didn't have a great experience, I hope that they don't think overall, that's what sound healing is. Because I just feel like it was completely lacking. So I'm like, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, truly, truly, truly. That's why when I get new timers that they've never experienced, I get excited. It's like, oh my gosh, I get to, you know,
00:42:36
Speaker
provide you that first experience, because it matters. It definitely matters. you know um I feel that, like again, for me, you know when I first experienced it, it's like so incredible. And also too, I guess, because I had never really given myself the time to like slow down and like be still. and And that's what most of our society is, right? We don't know how to slow down. We don't know how to ah prioritize our self care, because it's truly self care. The way I explain it is, you know, they feel like a ah car, cars need oil changes, you know, we need to clean their oil out and put new oil. So this is, this is truly like an oil change for your body. You know, it's like clearing your energy with the vibrations and then opening yourself up to receive more, you know, that more of that clean energy, open yourself up to receive more clarity, open yourself up to receive
00:43:34
Speaker
more love you know whatever it is that you want to bring in like you're opening and you're clearing yourself so ah yeah it's beautiful to experience at once but it's definitely also something to continue to do for yourself and your energy and your spirit you know there's just so like it can help you literally um start elevating your consciousness the more you do it the more you clear And the more you use these frequencies, you know, of course with that intention of that is your intention, but it it is it it it's potential, it's big potential. And so that's that's why for me, it's very important to like explain, you know, some of this and like to the participants so that they can really like soak that in. You know, um I had, like I would say three weeks ago, um I did a sound healing for a community event.
00:44:28
Speaker
Or, um, La Razonita. And ah one of the participants, he's, after we were done, he said, you know, when you said that this was very powerful, I was like, what is she talking about? is This is like, he's like, but okay. I gave it a try. She's like, he was like, whoa. Like I get it. I get it. And I'm like, yeah, it is. It's, it's, it's very powerful even for those who don't believe.
00:44:54
Speaker
And that's the beauty of it because you don't have to believe like it's 10 times better if you do believe, but if you don't, you don't have to believe to receive the medicine because whether you want it or not, like the vibrations are going to come in to your, to your body at a cellular level. Cause it's not only through the ear, you know, it's a vibro acoustic. So it vibrates into your cells. And so, um, so that's why it's, it's, it's, it's a beautiful way to heal.
00:45:24
Speaker
but it's also a beautiful way to elevate your consciousness. And I just really want people to understand that, you know. I feel like i i've I've had like some really good experiences and I always go in. It's always been like a really big intention of like, oh, I really want to like you know step into my self-expression or like you know ah like kind of like step into like my throat chakra and be able to like launch my podcast. and so it wass always like I look back and it was always these like really beautiful sound healings that I set these like crazy big intentions before I unlock this next part of my life. and It's just been so cool. like
00:46:00
Speaker
one time I even um I think I set the intention to like yeah step into like my confidence to launch the podcast and then when I was like in it I saw like a lot of colors of like blue green and blue and so I was like am I like connecting to my throat and heart chakra that's what I was like trying to figure out because I've never seen those colors before like until I was in that and I was like what is that so yeah can you speak on that?
00:46:28
Speaker
Yeah, actually, I was gonna say, usually when um you start seeing those colors in your and your eyes, mind's eye, just say um it's something that you need you don't need to put, it's kind of like, you know, our highest self always tries to give us, you know, clues and and like hints.
00:46:51
Speaker
But, you know, sometimes we don't, we don't catch that, but it's truly like our highest self trying to tell us, Hey, maybe there's something here in this area you need to work on. Like you said, you know, the throat, the solar plexus. Um, I've had participants experience, you know, solar plexus, you know, the yellow and like you say, the heart and you know, the third eye. So it just depends, but yeah, it's truly, um, and we really start like connecting to our intuition and what are like, say, for instance, our dreams are trying to tell us.
00:47:22
Speaker
You know, that the the whatever you read um or whatever you saw, or if somebody um said something and then you saw it somewhere else, it's like all of that is communication for us, and especially through a sounder or a sound healing sound or any sound bath. If you see the colors and then yeah, it's something to like take notice and kind of like, because if if you really want to know the answer, all you have to do is ask yourself, you know, it might not come right away.
00:47:52
Speaker
but like truly asking yourself, like sitting with yourself and asking yourself like, okay, what does this mean? You know, and if you sit and listen, you will get the answer, you know, but sometimes we just don't have the patience or sometimes we don't even know that we we can ask ourselves things, you know? Um, but yeah, like I've been able to decipher dreams asking myself,
00:48:21
Speaker
And then the answer comes in, it's like, whoa. And then like, I'm in tears because those realizations, you know, when they come in, it's like, whoa, they, they're deep and profound. And it's like, wow. I was trying to be notified, you know, I was trying to be, you know, God was trying to tell me something, you know? And so being able to be aware of the signs, be aware of that, um,
00:48:49
Speaker
synchronicities that are telling us something is also too like a blessing in itself. Yes, I love that. um I also love that because I was just kind of like looking at your jean keys again before we hopped on and I just want to say, it's so crazy, like, you guys, everyone listening, like, if you could look at Marie Cruz's, like, gene keys chart, and then literally everything that she just said is so connected to her gene keys, like, your um life's work, okay, so like 75% of, like, your, like, personality, 75% of what you're here, this is literally what you're
Gene Keys and Authenticity in 2025
00:49:30
Speaker
here to do in this lifetime, you are literally the gift of delight.
00:49:35
Speaker
an acidic frequency of ecstasy and this is really in this isn't the g center so this is really like this is really like identity energy but the shadow is the victim of seriousness which is what you had to overcome to step into this like new way that you relate to your body this is very body-based this is burgo energy and so it's like when you were in the shadow in the past there could have been this way of feeling like either it shows up either as frigid or frivolous where it's like you feel uncomfortable in your body and it's like very hard for you to like
00:50:09
Speaker
It's almost like you you see your body as just the physical body. And so people can have a really hard time with like self love. But then when you step into the gift of delight, it's like, oh, my body is not just a physical body. It's literally the vessel for spirit, which is literally everything that you talk about. And so I just thought that was so beautiful. Definitely. Yeah, because, you know, again, if if we go back to like prior to my awakening,
00:50:38
Speaker
you know, I have been working out for years, right? But it has always been for the fisc physical aspect of it. But now is like, now I work out now I take care of my body. But, you know, at every level, body, mind, spirit, emotionally, you know, my soul, like, is not about the physical anymore. It's not about just the look and the body itself. Like now is like, I'm taking care of myself in every aspect. that you know from like what I watch, from what I listen to, the energies I you know i surround myself with. um All of that has changed like because I understand like what it truly means to take care of my vessel.
00:51:22
Speaker
you know, so yeah, definitely, definitely that resonates. and And I feel like you're so like, I feel like that you're so in like, in flow with that, because that's kind of like our life's work is kind of the message that you're here to deliver to the masses. And so, like, it you really do showcase that, you know, in still like you have your workout routines, but also, like you said, it's far more than even just the physical, it's literally like how we relate to our bodies.
00:51:47
Speaker
And so I think that's so special because you kind of help people get out of this like state of seriousness of being like so like trapped in the mind and you kind of help them like get into their body, which you can do through sound healing, which is so nice. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. sound healing and through also, like again, like I share a lot about my lifestyle. And part of my lifestyle is moving, you know moving the body, keeping myself active. like i I love being out of nature, walking, working out out of nature.
00:52:17
Speaker
Um, and it's so true, like that whole, you know, prior to my awakening, my, my workouts were also even so very linear, you know, very weight, just like very, um,
00:52:29
Speaker
ah my own very linear as to now is like, I still work out, but it's just in a more circular way of like connecting with my body, you know? And so, yeah, just, it it it's, it's.
00:52:46
Speaker
It's incredible to be able to, again, just be so aware of of the changes and flowing with them, right? And like putting myself through that whole relearning process. Because again, it's a process. It is a process for sure.
00:53:09
Speaker
Yes. Um, so I want to ask you, what are you manifesting in 2025? Is there anything that you're like, excited to call in expansion?
00:53:22
Speaker
so and Yeah, I'm calling it an expansion growth. Um, you know, and and and with expansion comes all that expansion comes with, right? Um, but yeah, but I'm ready.
00:53:36
Speaker
I'm ready for it. I'm ready to like really just step out even much more out of my comfort zone and and just continue to step out authentically because um that's where the expansion takes place, you know, when we start moving very authentically and true to ourselves.
00:53:59
Speaker
At least that's how I've been like finding out more and more. like The more I step into my into my power, into who I i am without caring, like the more our doors open. So, yeah.
00:54:14
Speaker
Yeah, literally, it's just like mind i'm blowing because literally that is your vocation. So your vocation is like, okay, what is your biggest core wound and how can you alchemize that and you know, that's your biggest core talent that you give to others and you have 8.4, which is called the diamond of the self, which is so beautiful. And it's like,
00:54:32
Speaker
It's really stepping out of the comfort zone, stepping out of mediocrity, stepping out of caring like what everyone thinks about you, how traditional people are living, right? We can even think about it in like everyone in normal society drinks and everyone does things a certain way. But your gift is style and style is like pure creativity that comes from just being yourself and like stepping out of these, the boxes of like what traditional society does, which is so crazy. And that's what you're here to also give to the people.
00:55:00
Speaker
So it's literally like what you just said. That is insane. Like from like the first time that you read this stuff to me, I was like also to mind blown and you continue to like blow my mind because I'm like, wow. Because I literally, even like these days for the holidays, you know, um, the more I step into my power, the more I less I resonate less with what is normal and traditional.
Breaking Cycles and Family Liberation
00:55:29
Speaker
And the more I do not want to do that or be that because, especially because when you start learning like the true underlaying and the purpose of things, you know, you, so yeah, I'm very much in that mood where it's like, yeah, I'm not, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. And, and I'm, I'm creating this new life and normal for me and my, and my little tribe, you know, and And just allowing that to be without getting sidetracked or blinded or, you know, by the surroundings of that, you know, which is, you know, what are the people going to think and my family and, you know, and I've always been the different one in my family that I, I've always been in the different one, but you know, that's what they say. Like those that are here to like really just,
00:56:29
Speaker
um question and like not follow what everybody is following. We are the cycle breakers. You know, we're here to break those cycles, those generational cycles and to liberate our ancestors and liberate ourselves and our kids, our future of our kids. At least that's why I'm doing it. I'm liberating my daughters, you know, um and I'm being an example of that.
00:56:57
Speaker
and Yeah, it's like the sacred rebels. Like that's what they call this the nickname. It's like, oh, it's like, yeah, like literally rebelling against society's ways of doing things because it just doesn't work anymore. And so it is going to be like, you're going to continue to go up against those shadows, you know, every time, but it's like every time that you choose yourself instead and like, choose your core family. It's like,
00:57:18
Speaker
you're just unlocking things for so many other people to be like, oh, I can also just do things my own way. You know, like it's, you really are an inspiration to so many people that are awakening. So it's just so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you for seeing me and thank you for witnessing me. And yeah, and that's truly why I share so much. I share so much because, um, you know, I just want to show others that it's possible to just be yourself no matter what that might look like.
00:57:47
Speaker
or no matter what it looks like to others, you know, because um it's it's truly liberating to just be, you know, just be. And um that's that's my biggest takeaway that I can just be, you know, and be free from the masks and be free from other people's opinions and be free, be free.
00:58:14
Speaker
I love that. Amazing. And where can people find you? Like I'll put everything in the link below you guys, but what is your Instagram or like, where do you, where do people find you the most? And then do you have any offers right now? How can people work with you? Yeah. So my Instagram is aligned soul, S O U L mom lifestyle. And, um, I'm pretty much more on IG.
00:58:39
Speaker
um And in regards to offerings, I will be having um another series coming up um after I come back from Mexico next month. um Yeah, I'm going to Mexico for 10 days, just getting away. I feel like I need to just be, you know, just be out in the water. I'm going to be next to the water. and And just take some time to breathe. But yeah, once I come back, I want to say beginning of um February, I'm going to have a series out in Redlands, California again. um And then also at the beach in Little Corona Del Mar. That's the beach that I have them. um But just look out for for the postings of those dates once they are penciled in in my Instagram. And um I also do, you know, private.
00:59:34
Speaker
sound journeys, home calls, or I also do a lot of people are starting to, you know, wake up to the importance of like, you know, keeping ourselves clear and keeping ourselves.
00:59:46
Speaker
um Yeah, and just pretty much clear from whatever is no longer serving us. And so I'm i'm coming to find that I have a lot of like people who Um, instead of, you know, let's just say a girls night instead of going out for a girls night, girls are coming together. We're doing a small ceremony and then a sound journey. So yeah, so there's ways to, um, I also do corporate sound journeys, um, and community events. So if there's any room for collaboration, reach out to me via Instagram or also to just, uh, anybody interested in private.
01:00:26
Speaker
one-on-ones or group settings that works as well. Amazing. Amazing. And I'll put all of her links below you guys so you can reach out to her on Instagram. Be sure to follow her and ya reach out if you guys want to do some collaboration. So amazing. This was so awesome. Thank you so much again for being here. I loved it. I just love being in your energy. It's so beautiful and I'm so glad you're able to really share what you do with others.
01:00:51

It was my honor because I've seen you how you're growing and flourishing and so to have the opportunity to be here um and just sharing what I do and sharing, like you say, just sharing my purpose. it's It's a blessing.
