00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.253
What if your biggest blocks isn't coming from your body, but through your thoughts?

00:00:05.253 --> 00:00:08.523
Today's guest is Leah Lovio.

00:00:08.523 --> 00:00:14.820
She works with world leaders, top doctors, celebrities of names that you know.

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.961
Today she's here for you.

00:00:16.961 --> 00:00:44.837
She is a conscious wellness expert, consultant and speaker, so it is such an honor to have you on today, Leah.

00:00:44.837 --> 00:00:46.777
I'm truly honored.

00:00:46.777 --> 00:00:52.430
I know I was trying to get you in studio, but I love that you were able to make some time virtual here today.

00:00:52.981 --> 00:00:54.207
Thank you so much, Melissa.

00:00:54.207 --> 00:01:14.481
It's a great joy to see you again and we had a beautiful connection when we met with beautiful stories and we both have had quite the journeys and our goal is really to help others heal, help others elevate and help make the world a better place Just one person at a time, you know.

00:01:14.542 --> 00:01:17.168
Yes, yes, I love, I have to share how we met.

00:01:17.168 --> 00:01:26.593
Actually, I was really drawn to go to this health optimization summit in Austin in the spring and I just felt really called to go there.

00:01:26.593 --> 00:01:28.206
And when I did, I knew why.

00:01:28.206 --> 00:01:43.188
Because I'm like these are my people, you know, just all getting to the root cause of health, and a lot of it was for my own journey, for me and my family, as certain ailments were showing up and I just wanted to know why in the root cause.

00:01:43.227 --> 00:02:02.140
So I go to this health optimization summit and I'm on the third day and I think I went to a smaller stage that day and I sat down and then you walked into the room and sat down beside me and we were with a fellow friend of yours, dave Pascoe, and then we just instantly connected.

00:02:02.140 --> 00:02:12.009
It was beautiful and I was able to have lunch with you and see you sharing your work and I was like I need to have you on my podcast.

00:02:12.009 --> 00:02:14.426
So here we are today.

00:02:14.426 --> 00:02:16.728
I love for you, leah.

00:02:16.728 --> 00:02:32.074
Your work behind the scene with world leaders is incredible and I know you can't share names and whatnot, but I'd love for you to take us back as to how you got started how, being a conscious wellness expert.

00:02:32.979 --> 00:03:04.125
Yes, so I actually, you know, grew up among many healers and I was always fascinated by what makes people heal and the spiritual elements of healing, and so I was blessed to know people from all walks of lives that had different healing modalities, different spiritual practices and anything from you know saying, hey, you know, grab some herbs from the garden, boil them and drink that tea to.

00:03:04.125 --> 00:03:14.820
One very funny one was if we had an ear ache, my grandmother would light a cigarette and have us lie on our side and put the cigarette on the ear.

00:03:14.820 --> 00:03:17.665
That hurts and it would like smoke away the pain.

00:03:18.307 --> 00:03:21.354
So yes, I've never heard that one.

00:03:21.354 --> 00:03:23.203
I do garlic oil, you know.

00:03:23.924 --> 00:03:24.264
Right.

00:03:24.264 --> 00:03:27.109
Right, she also used olive oil.

00:03:27.109 --> 00:03:41.223
But so these were all different types of modalities, and being exposed to different belief systems and different types of modalities gave me so many tools to use in my own life.

00:03:41.223 --> 00:03:58.525
But what I realized is that at a very young age, most of us that are in the healing modalities, or whether it's a doctor or a nurse or a Reiki practitioner or a breath worker we generally tend to be empathetic.

00:03:58.525 --> 00:04:01.931
So healers just really are empathetic.

00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:14.181
They really want to help people, they care, and so what I was doing in my life is, as I was always the kind of spiritual guide, the psychologist, the therapist to everyone around me.

00:04:14.181 --> 00:04:20.380
I was actually taking on their suffering, and I learned this as I became a teenager.

00:04:21.002 --> 00:04:39.653
I started acting and I was hosting many television shows in Latin America, and what happened for me is I moved more into the acting industry in the United States and met many you know producers, directors and people that I you know, celebrities that I was working with.

00:04:40.901 --> 00:04:43.009
Somehow I always ended up being their therapist.

00:04:43.009 --> 00:05:17.024
So I was always like the therapist of the show and I realized quickly that the work that I could do to help people would be far more impactful than having that career, even though it was a blessing, because it did connect me and give me those first connections to very powerful people, and not that that makes it more special, but it helped me see that whether people come from modest means or are having wonderful success in their life, the problems are all the same.

00:05:17.024 --> 00:05:27.903
I myself came from very modest means, from an immigrant family that, you know, struggled to put food on the table, but we always had, you know, the spirituality.

00:05:27.903 --> 00:05:30.348
We always had our own healing modalities.

00:05:30.348 --> 00:05:40.865
And by being exposed to both areas, to both the very, very successful and the people that are just trying to get by, I saw that the problems are the same.

00:05:40.925 --> 00:05:41.307
The same.

00:05:41.307 --> 00:05:45.119
I love that you share that, because in my early 20s I worked on private jets, I was a flight attendant and I said the same, the same.

00:05:45.119 --> 00:05:49.915
I love that you share that, because in my early twenties I worked on private jets, I was a flight attendant and I said the same thing.

00:05:49.915 --> 00:05:52.704
Cause you know from a young girl, my mom, we lived in government housing.

00:05:52.704 --> 00:06:02.172
She was single mom, you know, just paycheck to paycheck, and we always idealize those people like, oh, they have it all you know.

00:06:02.572 --> 00:06:16.067
But once I worked on the private jet and I'm flying around with ex-presidents and world leaders, celebrities, I saw that they had the same problems as well, that money didn't bring them more happiness.

00:06:16.067 --> 00:06:28.596
Yeah, there was this freedom to fly all over the world on these private jets and go to these extravagant events, but I still saw the sadness, this loneliness and addictions.

00:06:28.596 --> 00:06:30.185
You know there was just so much.

00:06:30.185 --> 00:06:40.485
So I love it really, at such a young age showed me that even though success you know it won't bring you that happiness, right, you had to find it somewhere else.

00:06:40.485 --> 00:06:44.067
So I love that you shared that, but it was great to see both sides as well.

00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:45.661
Absolutely.

00:06:45.661 --> 00:07:00.749
You know, as one of my teachers once said, it's like all that success does or money, for example is it just makes it easier for you to do certain things, but it doesn't change who you are, and the suffering is the same no matter what level you're at.

00:07:00.749 --> 00:07:07.704
The happiness is the same no matter what level you're at, and this is why I really incorporate thought processes.

00:07:07.704 --> 00:07:26.812
So the way it started is by actually seeing that many of the people that I was working with had tremendous success and over time, the more successful they became, sometimes they would start getting sick, and I attribute this to guilt.

00:07:26.812 --> 00:07:34.593
This is what I started to see, and especially people that came from modest means and had to work really hard to get where they got.

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.447
There's something that sometimes society tells us right.

00:07:38.447 --> 00:07:56.211
It says, you know, they think money is the root of all evil, or they make people feel guilty for succeeding, and so what happens for people many times that have this thought process or this belief is that as they become successful, they start to feel guilty.

00:07:56.211 --> 00:08:03.228
And so they were told again and this goes back to programming right, how were you programmed when you were growing up?

00:08:03.228 --> 00:08:06.687
What does society tell you was good and was bad.

00:08:06.687 --> 00:08:08.088
What is allowed?

00:08:08.088 --> 00:08:10.033
How much success are you allowed to have?

00:08:10.033 --> 00:08:12.043
How much happiness are you allowed to have?

00:08:12.584 --> 00:08:27.334
Society is constantly telling us what we get to have and what we don't get to have right, and so we started to work on thought processes about guilt, about judgment, about deservingness.

00:08:27.334 --> 00:08:55.000
Right, and really, this is where spirituality and faith come in, and a true desire to tune into what our gifts and our goals are in life and realize that as we pursue success in all areas whether it's mental, emotional, financial, physical, in our relationships the more success we have in these areas, the more we are able to serve.

00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:08.485
And so when we're able to shift the thought processes from oh, guilt, goodness gracious, I get to have all of this, but that person doesn't versus amazing, I'm very blessed.

00:09:08.485 --> 00:09:17.491
And it is a gift from the divine that I get to do the work I do, and this does mean that I do have extra and with that you know I love the.

00:09:17.532 --> 00:09:30.028
I don't want to interrupt you, but I just it's so resonate to that Because I felt that, you know, being raised as a young girl, money was seemed like oh, those people, you know, like almost bad right To have money.

00:09:30.028 --> 00:09:33.634
And it was always that guilt.

00:09:33.634 --> 00:09:50.669
Once, even after, you know, my husband passed, I was able to, just, you know, make some financial decisions that put me in a place where, once I moved to Arizona, I was in a good place and I had other friends going through divorces, you know, single moms, and they were struggling.

00:09:50.669 --> 00:10:06.181
I felt that guilt, so guilty, and almost wanted to just kind of give away that money, you know, because that felt more comfortable, not having it, you know, or be like, oh, I shouldn't have that, so I better give it away, you know, and be like, oh, I shouldn't have that, so I got, better give it away, you know.

00:10:06.181 --> 00:10:14.144
And so I can understand that guilt that happens when you know you have it and you see others not succeeding as much.

00:10:14.144 --> 00:10:17.312
You kind of feel guilty that you're at that place now.

00:10:18.059 --> 00:10:23.044
Absolutely, and this is so common and it can happen at any level.

00:10:23.044 --> 00:10:48.380
Really, you know, just having you know, I was listening to a woman the other day who her best best friend had cancer and she was taking care of her friend and generous.

00:10:48.380 --> 00:10:49.484
She said she felt guilt about that.

00:10:49.484 --> 00:10:56.725
She got to like go home at the end of the day to her family and that she was not ill and what happened for her is that her friend got better and she later got cancer.

00:10:56.725 --> 00:11:09.765
And this is where people can really see that the thoughts you have about everything that's happening in your life can literally affect the cells in your body.

00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:29.888
Our cells are desperate for love, for happiness and for celebration, and sometimes even in the suffering and even when we are the ones that are there helping someone who is either very ill or mentally depressed in any area, to find the blessing there right.

00:11:29.888 --> 00:11:53.018
I always tell the people that I work with that you cannot take on enough suffering to heal anyone and the best way to be of service and to heal others is to optimize your own mindset to make your body as healthy as you possibly can within your means and within what deck of cards you were given right.

00:11:53.018 --> 00:12:07.510
It might not be perfect, but you optimize as much as you can with your body, with what you were given, and the happier we are, the more elevated we are, the more we can celebrate what we're winning at in life.

00:12:07.510 --> 00:12:09.955
The more we have to give others.

00:12:09.955 --> 00:12:16.953
Then we come from a very full place versus if I'm helping someone heal from cancer or depression.

00:12:16.953 --> 00:12:29.466
If you go into that situation with guilt and just feeling horrible about them and what's happening to them, you're actually contributing to the illness and the sadness.

00:12:30.389 --> 00:12:37.049
When people are ill, when people are depressed, they need someone to pull them up and to say hey, you know what?

00:12:37.049 --> 00:12:39.062
There's a possibility of healing here.

00:12:39.062 --> 00:12:41.707
There's a possibility of another day.

00:12:41.707 --> 00:12:46.620
There's a possibility of another breath, possibility of another day.

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.462
There's a possibility of another breath.

00:12:47.462 --> 00:12:49.226
And if you're willing to do the fight, I'm going to do the fight with you.

00:12:49.226 --> 00:13:00.924
And so we have to be very strong-willed in our own thought processes, not only to lift ourselves up, but to better serve humanity and be a vessel for healing for others.

00:13:01.306 --> 00:13:02.770
Well, how would you do that?

00:13:02.770 --> 00:13:11.120
Cause I feel, yes, you know I I love being able to help other and shine, you know, a light for them and and give them hope, but, yes, I can't help.

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:19.423
Like if I hear of another mother that lost her husband to suicide, it's like I feel that pain and you just want to go help them and give them all.

00:13:19.423 --> 00:13:32.258
So, how, what are some of the tools that you would say to protect yourself, as you are wanting to help others but not sit in that guilt or that shame or any fears?

00:13:32.258 --> 00:13:32.619
You know?

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.321
Absolutely so.

00:13:34.321 --> 00:13:45.075
One of the tools that I like to use first and we use it for either healing ourselves or helping others heal are removing interference right.

00:13:45.075 --> 00:14:01.361
So anything that's going to interfere with the vessel, with the energy of the healing process, everything that we think is either going to enhance our healing and how we serve the world or it's going to interfere with it.

00:14:01.361 --> 00:14:05.471
And there are very logical explanations for this.

00:14:05.471 --> 00:14:17.926
People think oh, now you're going a little bit into the esoteric or the mystical or the woo, and actually all energy work is not esoteric or mystical or woo.

00:14:17.926 --> 00:14:21.668
It's actually extremely logical, rational, rational and scientific.

00:14:21.668 --> 00:14:38.890
And here's why, if you have a thought of guilt or of sadness, or you have someone that you're working with and you're feeling really bad about it, you feeling bad is going to interfere with your energy levels.

00:14:38.890 --> 00:14:55.974
Every thought that you have creates a chemical reaction in your brain and the chemical reactions in the brain create the emotions that we feel in our heart and we think that the emotions and the feelings are coming directly from our heart.

00:14:55.974 --> 00:15:06.235
But scientists have studied this and you know they can prove that there are chemical reactions in the brain that lead to the emotions.

00:15:06.235 --> 00:15:12.480
Therefore, if we know that our thoughts create chemical reactions in our body that generate emotions.

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:18.513
We do have one place where we can always do some work and that is with our thoughts.

00:15:18.513 --> 00:15:39.125
And now, this does not mean that we're not compassionate and that we're not empathetic, mean that we're not compassionate and that we're not empathetic, but it is a discipline and it is a commitment to say I want to make sure that I'm a clean vessel, that if I'm going to help somebody, that I come with a clean slate and that I can help them as much as I can.

00:15:39.125 --> 00:15:45.392
So I must do the thought process work, I must do the mental work.

00:15:45.392 --> 00:15:46.133
Why?

00:15:46.133 --> 00:16:04.308
Because if I allow myself to fall into too much of the sadness, of the guilt or the hard feelings, then that will affect my own emotions, my own chemistry and what happens next based on the emotions.

00:16:04.308 --> 00:16:08.115
The emotions is from where we each speak.

00:16:08.115 --> 00:16:12.431
Emotions is from where we each take an action.

00:16:12.431 --> 00:16:24.264
So if I'm not managing the thoughts that create the chemicals that create the emotions, then I'm not actually controlling the actions that I'm going to take, the words that I'm going to say.

00:16:24.264 --> 00:16:31.174
And when we say the words and take the actions now, we're putting frequencies into the world.

00:16:31.174 --> 00:16:33.301
Right Now we are affecting others.

00:16:34.163 --> 00:16:42.525
If you have a bad, negative thought or an anger about someone you know, you may go and process that on your own and then it's done.

00:16:42.525 --> 00:16:50.148
But if you are angry and you let's just say a simple example for somebody driving a car and they've got road rage, right?

00:16:50.148 --> 00:16:58.182
Well, if they've got road rage and then they, you know, just say, hey, come on, you know you're overreacting, let's, let's stop this to themselves.

00:16:58.182 --> 00:17:08.326
That's very different than if they have road rage and they just go with it, slam on their brakes, get out of their car and get into a fight.

00:17:08.326 --> 00:17:10.711
These are two completely different outcomes.

00:17:10.711 --> 00:17:13.048
It doesn't mean that the road rage didn't happen.

00:17:13.048 --> 00:17:25.310
It just means that the person was able to catch themselves and realize like, hey, you know that's not really the best behavior and maybe they stay mad, but at least they don't take the action on it.

00:17:25.310 --> 00:17:36.688
So there's always a place to create some interruption to the negativity or for an illness to continue and remove the interference.

00:17:37.670 --> 00:17:38.651
I could see that.

00:17:38.832 --> 00:17:59.891
You know, as I was writing my second book and I just finished it I realized how fear, my thought process of fear, you know, I was living in so much fear for a really long time but what I feared most was happening, you know, and what my husband feared most started happening.

00:17:59.891 --> 00:18:19.035
So we created these realities through our fears and I also living in that fear, suppressed my immune system and, with my children co-regulating with me, I kind of projected fear onto them and affected their immune system as well.

00:18:19.035 --> 00:18:22.787
So emotionally it had that ripple effect.

00:18:22.787 --> 00:18:30.568
You know and now I see that so clearly how it plays such a big role in my life as who I surround myself with as well.

00:18:30.568 --> 00:18:45.933
You know, because if they project their fears onto me as I, you know oh, maybe I'm podcasting now or I'm speaking up about suicide and this and that if they have fear and they I take that on, then I might not have the right same outcome.

00:18:45.933 --> 00:18:54.816
You know, leading up to releasing an episode or something Like, I see that ripple effect of these emotions taking on.

00:18:54.836 --> 00:19:10.621
Yeah, Absolutely, and I love that you mentioned this about you and your husband and your children, you know, because we all have a lot of power, but there is a tremendous power within the woman's body.

00:19:10.621 --> 00:19:13.026
It is called the womb chakra.

00:19:13.026 --> 00:19:15.451
We all have chakras, right?

00:19:15.451 --> 00:19:29.863
If you believe in chakras but I always say you know, if you don't believe in certain things, if there's a benefit to just believing it and trying it, that is going to be beneficial to yourself and the world, you might want to give it a try.

00:19:29.863 --> 00:19:49.450
And so the energy of the mother, right, is the creative energy in the universe, and they always say that the mother has the most power, even though many times she is suppressed, but she has the most power because she literally can create life.

00:19:49.450 --> 00:19:51.881
This is a very big miracle, right?

00:19:51.881 --> 00:19:55.684
I mean, how more miraculous than the creation of life.

00:19:55.684 --> 00:20:12.029
And in ind, for example, they believe very strongly in this and in fact, they believe that the reason why Jesus was very powerful was also because he was very loved by Mary.

00:20:13.262 --> 00:20:17.182
Yes, I just read a book about Mary Madeline, actually, yes, and the story.

00:20:17.182 --> 00:20:23.327
I don't remember what it was called, but it was so good and, yeah, it explained that the love that they had.

00:20:24.009 --> 00:20:24.592
Absolutely.

00:20:24.759 --> 00:21:00.821
And so, no matter what you believe about Jesus, the thing is he was a man and he was very powerful and he did miracles and he was deeply loved by his mother, by his grandmother, by Mary, by her mother and her grandmother and so and Mary Magdalene, and so he did have immense womb chakra love on him, and so the love of a woman is very healing, and especially to her children, and I can tell you that I've worked with clients that have had children that have addictions and depression.

00:21:00.842 --> 00:21:10.691
And one of the beautiful things that I've worked with clients that have had children that have addictions and depression, and one of the beautiful things that I have found is that when and really both parents right, because the father can also generate this loving energy.

00:21:10.691 --> 00:21:28.791
But when both parents, for example, love their children and have the door open for them, no matter what, if they're suffering for of any kind of, especially addictions, when that door is always open in a loving way, like a loving mother, those people always heal.

00:21:28.791 --> 00:21:45.372
They always come back to the healing at some point, because this openness and this love, that womb chakra energy if you want to call it that, but you can just call it a mother's love or a parent's love is extremely healing and people will always come back to the love.

00:21:45.372 --> 00:21:47.117
They always will come back.

00:21:47.117 --> 00:21:52.491
If they're going to go anywhere when they're suffering, they're going to go where the door is open with love.

00:21:53.340 --> 00:21:54.303
That's beautiful.

00:21:54.303 --> 00:21:57.710
Yeah, I can see that, and why as well.

00:21:57.710 --> 00:22:01.071
I always tell you know mothers, especially just because you know I'm a single mom, and to take care of themselves.

00:22:01.071 --> 00:22:04.915
Always tell you know mothers, especially just because you know I'm a single mom, and to take care of themselves first.

00:22:04.915 --> 00:22:18.184
You know it's so important that they, their nervous system is strong and their body is healthy and they're a right place because, yeah, they are the heart of the family and, uh, they're they.

00:22:18.184 --> 00:22:26.895
They need to be healthy and not to feel guilt when they take maybe a couple days to get away and take that time for them, you know, to change their thoughts.

00:22:26.895 --> 00:22:35.904
Actually, in Alaska I had one of Wayne Dyer's quote right in the kitchen where I did dishes because I'd always be there cooking and whatnot, and it was.

00:22:35.904 --> 00:22:38.148
Is it change?

00:22:38.148 --> 00:22:41.905
Change your, change your thoughts, change your mind, something like that.

00:22:42.141 --> 00:22:44.028
But, I would read that every day.

00:22:44.759 --> 00:23:07.153
And it was I would have that shift all the time, say, okay, I have a roof over my head, I have this, my children are healthy, you know, and it really helped to change that shift and that's why I even you know, my hashtag is Melissa Gratitude, because every morning that's what I start off with is just gratitude for everything all the gifts, the hard, the bad, because it created who I am today.

00:23:07.153 --> 00:23:12.747
So I I love this shift, I am, so I just have I this question.

00:23:12.747 --> 00:23:13.869
I didn't want to miss this.

00:23:13.869 --> 00:23:18.065
So I know you guide people into elevated states of existence.

00:23:18.065 --> 00:23:21.653
What does that mean for someone who has never heard that term?

00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:24.020
Absolutely.

00:23:24.020 --> 00:23:37.423
And I just want to tell you that Wayne Dyer was one of my teachers and I was blessed to work with him for many years, and what he would say is when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

00:23:37.845 --> 00:23:38.807
Wow, it's beautiful.

00:23:38.847 --> 00:23:39.630
You're so lucky.

00:23:39.710 --> 00:23:42.724
I wish I could have met him Actually my mom she was so lucky.

00:23:42.724 --> 00:23:43.566
I wish I could have met him Actually.

00:23:43.566 --> 00:23:44.027
My mom she was so sad.

00:23:44.027 --> 00:23:46.251
She was about to go see him one time but he had passed.

00:23:46.251 --> 00:23:53.859
And yeah, he's a great.

00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:55.923
I love all his books and I listen to his meditation almost every morning.

00:23:55.923 --> 00:23:59.988
It's like that 20 minute meditation, the meditation with the affirmations yeah, absolutely so.

00:24:00.509 --> 00:24:02.371
Elevated states of living.

00:24:02.371 --> 00:24:11.790
So there's two things that I work on with my clients and with many doctors and many practitioners and their staff.

00:24:11.790 --> 00:24:19.990
We work on accelerating healing and elevating living, and we work both on the mental, emotional living.

00:24:19.990 --> 00:24:22.192
And we work both on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.

00:24:22.192 --> 00:24:31.569
So really, the mental, emotional and spiritual effects on the physical body, on the healing of the physical body and how we live our life.

00:24:31.569 --> 00:24:34.019
And when I say physical body, this includes everything your physical body does.

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:42.661
It's not just your physical health systems, but it's what you do in your career, how you interact with humanity, how you interact with your family.

00:24:43.182 --> 00:24:45.226
What does it mean to be elevated?

00:24:45.226 --> 00:25:08.192
Elevated means that you do not neglect any part of who you are as a human being and regardless of what you believe, whether or not you believe you have a soul, whether or not you believe that you're going to other states of consciousness when you leave the physical body, or whether you believe that it ends all here, it really doesn't matter.

00:25:08.192 --> 00:25:12.585
You can still be elevated, and what this means is one.

00:25:12.585 --> 00:25:26.773
You must optimize your physical body If you believe that you have a soul and you have a soul purpose, if you believe that there is a divine guidance, god, whatever you want to call it, that brought you here.

00:25:26.773 --> 00:25:42.611
Whatever you believe spiritually, to be spiritual does not mean you neglect the physical right, and we do have yogis and saints that live in the Himalayas to this day, and they don't truly interact with society, and that is their path.

00:25:42.611 --> 00:26:05.083
But for those of us here that are in the city, that are living lives, raising families, doing work with society, we come in a physical body, and so the physical body has to be optimized in order for the mental, emotional and spiritual to be elevated, in order for the mental, emotional and spiritual to be elevated.

00:26:05.083 --> 00:26:05.784
So they work together.

00:26:05.784 --> 00:26:07.487
We don't neglect any of them, actually.

00:26:07.507 --> 00:26:12.683
And so elevated means that you do the physical work you have to do at every level of your life.

00:26:12.683 --> 00:26:27.891
That means for your health, for your mental wellness, for your livelihood, because you must provide for yourself, and the more abundance you have, the easier it is to have access to have the help that you need.

00:26:27.891 --> 00:26:35.442
For example, if you have children that are sick or if you have mental illness, well, it does cost money to get the help you need right.

00:26:35.442 --> 00:26:49.766
So you must optimize your finances and your abundance and how you live your life, you must learn how to budget, you must have success in the financial realm, you must optimize your body.

00:26:49.786 --> 00:26:57.307
If you want to do good works in the world and you're suffering from severe depression, it is very difficult to have the motivation to go out into the world and help others.

00:26:57.307 --> 00:26:59.531
And this is where medicine comes in.

00:26:59.531 --> 00:27:15.361
This is where getting the help you need, whether it's, you know, peptides, or changing your diet or incorporating exercise, making sure your hormones are balanced, making sure that your brain chemistry is balanced All of this has to be checked.

00:27:15.361 --> 00:27:16.863
This is our vessel.

00:27:16.863 --> 00:27:27.612
You get to navigate this life, whatever you may call it, in this one body, and your body, your mind, your spirit, your circumstances are going to be with you forever.

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:39.371
That's kind of why I love that biohacking world, because I see that with myself, because even uh, testing my son doing a brain scan, I saw where we were at.

00:27:39.371 --> 00:27:44.042
You know, because of the fear, the immune system being deplenished.

00:27:44.042 --> 00:27:49.452
We went through mold, toxicity and parasites and how it cloud.

00:27:49.452 --> 00:27:53.707
You know the brain fog and the fatigue, the hair loss.

00:27:53.707 --> 00:27:57.013
So I've been really working towards being optimized.

00:27:57.013 --> 00:28:00.106
You know, living with full energy, feeling great.

00:28:00.147 --> 00:28:12.569
You know I exercise and so because to declutter the mind, so you can hear God, you can hear the spirit, you know, because if that is congested with toxins, you it's really hard to hear him.

00:28:12.569 --> 00:28:16.483
It clouds over, it's almost this dark cloud and you can't see the light.

00:28:16.483 --> 00:28:19.429
You know I remember seeing that with my husband.

00:28:19.429 --> 00:28:22.394
You know where I'm trying to explain him all of this.

00:28:22.394 --> 00:28:23.665
I come for a walk with us.

00:28:23.665 --> 00:28:32.546
Yeah, we should, you know, work out more and eat, and he'd make fun of me because everything was organic or you know, a little bit of health and that is what he would call me.

00:28:32.546 --> 00:28:40.551
But I said there's a purpose to that, that clarity, because once your environment is too toxic, it really does affect your mind.

00:28:40.551 --> 00:28:42.962
So I love that.

00:28:42.962 --> 00:28:51.810
You mentioned that and I know you speak at a lot of bio and hiking events and health conferences because that all plays a big role of mind, body and spirit.

00:28:52.319 --> 00:29:17.564
Yes, absolutely, and I think we are in an era now where more and more people are realizing things are sort of crossing over, right, the very spiritual are crossing over to understand how important the physical is, and those who are very much into the physical wellness are also crossing over and realizing how important the spiritual is and how we I always call it the dance of scientific medicine and spiritual medicine.

00:29:18.384 --> 00:29:43.913
And this is how you live, what I call the blessing way, the elevated way, is that you take care of all the factors because we're here to serve, right, our soul is here for great happiness, and what makes the soul very happy is to be of service and to see others thriving and to live in a thriving body so that we can truly enjoy this physical realm as well.

00:29:43.913 --> 00:29:55.575
It's, you know, a gift to have each day to live, you know, to go hiking, to share time with our loved ones, to enjoy delicious food, travel through the world.

00:29:55.575 --> 00:30:17.826
These are extraordinary blessings that we get to do, and so the physical body must be optimized and that actually helps us, exactly like you said, to hear the spirit, to hear that inner guidance, and to be more in tune with that beautiful inner guidance of the divine, divine light, divine guidance, god and God in all its names.

00:30:18.446 --> 00:30:19.528
Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:19.528 --> 00:30:23.374
So I know you mentioned the blessing way.

00:30:23.374 --> 00:30:29.992
What does that mean and how can someone start living that today, Someone that hasn't done any of this?

00:30:29.992 --> 00:30:31.523
So how would you get them started?

00:30:31.523 --> 00:30:36.883
Like just the first step for the blessing way yes, the blessing way.

00:30:37.443 --> 00:30:43.654
So the blessing way is number one realizing that your soul came here to play.

00:30:43.654 --> 00:30:49.529
Your soul came here to have fun, to enjoy and to expand itself.

00:30:49.529 --> 00:31:05.371
And so, just like with children, when children tell you you're not the boss of me, oh, you can't tell me what to do, it's we think you know that they're having a little, you know, bratty attitude at that moment, but they're not.

00:31:05.371 --> 00:31:11.126
It's actually their soul speaking to us and saying hey, I'm a soul in this body.

00:31:11.126 --> 00:31:13.692
I'm not here for you to contain me.

00:31:13.692 --> 00:31:19.305
I am here to expand and explore and love and give and be.

00:31:19.305 --> 00:31:24.294
And so one of the things is realizing what, what do you love?

00:31:24.294 --> 00:31:31.663
You know, and really tuning in and noticing every single day things that you really love, things that light you up.

00:31:31.663 --> 00:31:43.021
You know, whether it's a color or a certain landscape, or being around certain people or something that brought a tear to your eye because it was so inspiring.

00:31:43.021 --> 00:31:52.705
The more we pay attention to the things we love, the more our soul plays in this life and lives the blessing way, the elevated way.

00:31:52.705 --> 00:32:05.085
The other tool is that we notice the things that don't resonate with us right, and the things that make us feel bad, and we start to eliminate those things slowly and gently from our lives.

00:32:05.085 --> 00:32:09.903
And I always say slowly and gently because we are not meant to be shocked.

00:32:09.903 --> 00:32:17.363
Our bodies do not like stress or shock, and anything that you do abruptly becomes a stress in the body.

00:32:17.363 --> 00:32:30.286
I talk about this with people with boundaries, right, when we're starting to learn boundaries, sometimes they're very strong and they're very harsh, and sometimes we step on others' toes in that process.

00:32:30.286 --> 00:32:46.769
Well, I encourage people, as they set their boundaries and notice the things that they have an aversion to, to release those things gently out of their life, and this again opens more of that way for the blessing way, for the elevated way.

00:32:47.450 --> 00:32:58.125
So there's a few things that I ask people to do every morning that that really set the tone, and you know, many people are able to be great meditators, but many people are just not.

00:32:58.125 --> 00:33:05.768
That's's just not their makeup it's sitting still is just not available to them, and so I keep things very simple.

00:33:05.768 --> 00:33:21.762
You'll love this one, because you're Melissa Gratitude, starting the day with gratitude, of course, and you know I never say you know, write down 20 things you're grateful for, because some people don't have the time or the bandwidth for that.

00:33:21.762 --> 00:33:27.864
But if you can just get up every day and think of three things you're grateful for, you're already ahead of the game.

00:33:27.864 --> 00:33:34.422
And then I ask people to set intentions, and set intentions for themselves Again.

00:33:34.422 --> 00:33:36.006
What do you really love?

00:33:36.006 --> 00:33:37.689
What do you really wish?

00:33:38.210 --> 00:33:46.987
If there was no opinion on what you wanted and you could just want and have whatever you wanted, with no consequence, what would those three things be?

00:33:46.987 --> 00:33:58.532
Have an intention for those three things and then the most important one, the one that will give you the most in life at every level and help you live the blessing way, and I'll explain why.

00:33:58.532 --> 00:34:01.998
Why is to have three intentions of giving.

00:34:01.998 --> 00:34:06.507
Have three intentions of how you may serve humanity today.

00:34:06.507 --> 00:34:08.471
Think of three people.

00:34:08.471 --> 00:34:10.860
You can do something for what.

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:20.907
What can I do today to make the world a better place, whether it's just for one person or 20 people, if you can think of three things you can give.

00:34:21.688 --> 00:34:27.746
Now what happens is that you are signaling your body that you are abundant.

00:34:27.746 --> 00:34:40.699
You are signaling your mind that you have more than enough, and your body says, oh, wow, melissa must be doing amazing because she's talking to me about doing things for other people.

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:40.820
We must have it going on.

00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:42.219
We must be really amazing, because she's talking to me about doing things for other people.

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:47.085
We must have it going on, we must be really jamming, we're doing great.

00:34:47.085 --> 00:34:49.648
And so these are messages to your body.

00:34:49.820 --> 00:34:55.769
Every thought you have, every intention you have is a signal, literally to the cells of your body.

00:34:55.769 --> 00:35:04.967
And when we come from a place of generosity and giving, the cells in our body feel at ease, our mind feels at ease.

00:35:04.967 --> 00:35:13.128
We stop thinking about what's stressing us out and we realize, oh, things must be well for us because we are thinking about helping others.

00:35:13.128 --> 00:35:22.960
And the more we can have the intention of giving, of helping, of being of service, the more we live the blessing way and the more blessed we are.

00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:31.585
And the more we actually receive, the more we heal our physical body because we come from a place of giving, of fullness.

00:35:31.585 --> 00:35:39.610
And so now, if everyone comes to their day full, you know it's just a dance of happiness and giving and celebration.

00:35:40.673 --> 00:35:41.697
That's so beautiful.

00:35:41.697 --> 00:35:53.188
I love the blessing way I feel like I've kind of learned how to do this process myself and through books and podcasts and my own healing journey, but and how it truly does work.

00:35:53.188 --> 00:35:54.731
You know, obviously, being of service.

00:35:54.731 --> 00:36:09.027
You know, with writing my book and, you know, inspiring other suicide survivors to release that shame, that guilt, and that their children will be okay, they will thrive again.

00:36:09.027 --> 00:36:11.186
And it is.

00:36:11.186 --> 00:36:16.952
It is so rewarding to be of service in that way and sharing your message here today.

00:36:16.952 --> 00:36:18.844
That's what I prayed on.

00:36:18.844 --> 00:36:20.385
I said, okay, how can we be of service?

00:36:20.385 --> 00:36:24.351
What are the questions that somebody out there really needs to hear?

00:36:24.351 --> 00:36:28.489
And it is truly powerful.

00:36:28.489 --> 00:36:30.686
I love that you share.

00:36:30.686 --> 00:36:33.168
Everything that you're sharing I really resonate with.

00:36:33.168 --> 00:36:41.719
I know you've worked with people we look up to for wisdom, like doctors, spiritual leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities.

00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:45.784
What have you learned about what they secretly struggle with?

00:36:45.784 --> 00:36:51.476
Why is it so important that those in leadership roles heal themselves first?

00:36:52.137 --> 00:36:52.739
Absolutely.

00:36:52.739 --> 00:37:03.172
You know, when you are very visible to the world, the more visible you are, the more opinions there are about you, right?

00:37:03.172 --> 00:37:54.746
And when somebody is visible, when somebody is known, when they're high profile, there comes a tremendous responsibility to serve humanity and to make sure that everything you are doing in the public eye, that you are benefiting those who get to witness whether it's your success or your power, or you know, whether you are a spiritual guide or you know the guru of the century or the most famous celebrity or a president, your obligation, your spiritual, moral obligation, is to serve, and so one of the things that people that are high profile and in the public I run into again, we go back to guilt, we go back to shame, and what happens for many of them is that they lose boundaries.

00:37:54.746 --> 00:37:59.034
Their boundaries actually go down the more success they have.

00:37:59.034 --> 00:37:59.376
Why?

00:37:59.376 --> 00:38:01.326
Because of the guilt, right?

00:38:01.326 --> 00:38:16.436
So what happens is that many of these people have teams around them that start to take advantage of them because they are unable to set the boundaries due to feeling like, well, I have so much like I'd better just be really nice.

00:38:16.436 --> 00:38:20.047
And this happens a lot in medical practices.

00:38:20.047 --> 00:38:22.974
It happens a lot with celebrities that you you've heard of, like.

00:38:22.974 --> 00:38:36.416
You know that their brother, their sister, their cousin, their staff stole this and that from them because they just don't have the boundaries and they need to learn to set those strong boundaries again.

00:38:36.416 --> 00:38:44.177
And the way they do that again is by working on the thought processes and really shifting how they view themselves.

00:38:44.177 --> 00:38:48.628
So we have to shift to from do I deserve this blessing?

00:38:48.628 --> 00:38:51.614
To wow, look at the blessings I have.

00:38:51.614 --> 00:38:54.887
I get to do tremendous work to help the world heal.

00:38:54.887 --> 00:39:07.030
I get to use every profile, every dollar, every word, every speech, every song, every movie to actually help others heal.

00:39:07.030 --> 00:39:12.480
And when everything is shifted from do I deserve this to I've got this.

00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:14.728
I'm going to use it for good.

00:39:14.728 --> 00:39:22.048
This really changes how people act in the world and it helps them also to have conviction right.

00:39:22.710 --> 00:39:30.228
As much as it's wonderful to be humble, humility does not mean that you don't know what you know.

00:39:30.228 --> 00:39:39.135
On the contrary, the powerful people in the world, the ones that are leading, the ones that are putting their voice out, I want them to say I know what I know.

00:39:39.135 --> 00:39:45.632
I'm here to serve and do their work, for example, with doctors, when a patient comes to a doctor.

00:39:45.632 --> 00:39:48.686
If the patient comes to the doctor.

00:39:48.686 --> 00:39:54.112
The patient is not coming for the doctor to say, okay, well, we will try this and see how it goes.

00:39:54.112 --> 00:40:05.952
No, the patient is coming for a healing and they want the doctor to say to them yes, we are going to heal this and we're going to do this, this and this, and you might like in all of our lives.

00:40:06.054 --> 00:40:18.755
We must have a very strong will, a very strong determination that we know what we're doing, and this is why it matters so much to have the intention of serving.

00:40:18.755 --> 00:40:41.878
That's what gives you the will, that's what gives you the determination and the absolute clarity that you're here to do good works and even more confidence in the work that you are doing for people, versus if we come from a place of greediness, for example, oh, I just want to do this, to elevate myself and to have everything for myself.

00:40:41.878 --> 00:41:01.916
That's very different and actually the people that think that way, they're the ones that are constantly stumbling because they're not coming from the place of generosity, but when you come from the place of serving, of living the blessing way of how may I serve and I know you've heard that before, if you've heard Wayne Dyer speak always talked about how may I serve.

00:41:01.916 --> 00:41:04.349
How may I serve Then?

00:41:04.349 --> 00:41:11.994
Yes, you've earned the right to have complete self-confidence, determination and a strong will to do your work.

00:41:11.994 --> 00:41:13.005
And guess what?

00:41:13.005 --> 00:41:16.615
You have an army of angels around you helping you do it.

00:41:17.264 --> 00:41:18.949
Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean.

00:41:18.949 --> 00:41:36.255
But again, you say, just be careful as you serve, cause I, as you're speaking, I think of my husband, who was a dentist, you know, and had a big practice and he loved, you know, helping and we did have some staff still from us, you know, and he wanted to give and give, give so much.

00:41:36.255 --> 00:41:40.275
But I think, yeah, his bucket just got depleted and he had nothing left.

00:41:40.275 --> 00:41:44.677
You know he had to give back to himself as much as he gave to others.

00:41:44.677 --> 00:41:58.297
And as well as being a practitioner, you know being so empathetic with his patients that had so much fear all the time, or if a procedure didn't work, you know being so empathetic with his patients that had so much fear all the time, or if a procedure didn't work, you know there's that guilt or that shame, or you know so it's.

00:41:58.865 --> 00:42:02.514
It's protecting the people that are really, you know, want to be of service.

00:42:02.514 --> 00:42:09.757
Is protecting give back just as much that they do to others right to give from a full bucket.

00:42:09.757 --> 00:42:20.153
So I've been trying to practice that too, because sometimes I do feel, you know, you kind of go, go, go and then you're depleted and I'm like, okay, I need to backtrack and spend a little space to myself.

00:42:20.153 --> 00:42:28.228
But there is that guilt that comes to that, because I'm like, oh, I should be helping all these other people, you know, and so it's finding that balance.

00:42:28.228 --> 00:42:44.759
So it sounds like it's really ultimately finding that harmony, that balance from the physical, mind and spirit and kind of I always say it as an analogy the tropical forest has a perfect amount of fungi and bacteria and for it to thrive it needs that balance.

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:54.875
You know Absolutely, and you know there are tools that I give my clients, especially the ones that are doctors and healers and people that are serving.

00:42:54.875 --> 00:43:02.119
But this serves all people you know throughout the day, every day, as we are serving and doing our works in the world.

00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:10.766
It's important to understand that there's always an energy exchange with every person we encounter, everywhere we go.

00:43:10.766 --> 00:43:19.538
There's a certain energy there, and when we are engaged in conversation or in a service, we are attaching to that person.

00:43:19.538 --> 00:43:33.798
For that moment we're having a conversation, a connection, whether it's somebody at the grocery store or a patient or a client, or us as patients to doctors, and so we connect at those moments throughout the day.

00:43:34.266 --> 00:43:49.128
I encourage people to consciously disconnect after every interaction because otherwise I don't know if that's ever happened to you, but you meet with someone and then you keep thinking about it.

00:43:49.128 --> 00:43:55.416
You just keep thinking about that conversation like what you could have said differently, what you could have done differently.

00:43:55.416 --> 00:43:59.311
This is where that's an energy drain.

00:43:59.311 --> 00:44:05.286
This affects your stress levels, your physiology, your brain chemistry.

00:44:05.286 --> 00:44:08.994
It's, you know, thinking about things over and over again.

00:44:08.994 --> 00:44:13.027
So we have to have some tools to say I am detaching.

00:44:13.027 --> 00:44:18.927
And it could be as simple as saying, okay, I had this conversation, I had this engagement.

00:44:18.927 --> 00:44:20.451
Now I'm detaching.

00:44:20.451 --> 00:44:37.911
You know, I give my doctors tools, like you know, tapping, for example, between patients, maybe spraying some nice essential oils that they enjoy, turning music on for like a minute and just dancing for a second oh, I like that one.

00:44:38.532 --> 00:44:40.858
Yeah, that's my favorite too, I love dancing.

00:44:40.858 --> 00:44:42.487
That's been very therapeutic too.

00:44:42.929 --> 00:44:45.733
Oh, dancing is extremely therapeutic.

00:44:45.733 --> 00:45:03.990
You know, doing some squats or some jumping jacks, like just breaking up that energy in between clients or patients or interactions, makes you more present for the next person and also breaks any energy drains on your own physiology.

00:45:03.990 --> 00:45:24.673
So these are very practical, simple tools and you know I work with very scientific minds in the medical world and you know when I they know what I do, at first they're very hesitant because they're like oh, is she going to tell me the dental world, as I'm like trying to bring breath work and talking about the solar plexus and oh yeah, they're like.

00:45:24.693 --> 00:45:26.438
what are you talking about?

00:45:26.864 --> 00:45:56.630
Exactly, but it's very practical right, and it actually does have a physiological effect, you know, and it has mental, emotional, spiritual and physical effects on the body If we don't have tools to break up our day, to interfere and cancel certain energies right, and especially it's important when you're dealing with people that are very ill, we have to disconnect because we are empathetic, you know, you have empathy towards humanity.

00:45:56.630 --> 00:46:01.987
Most people are very empathetic and very kind and do take on the suffering of others.

00:46:01.987 --> 00:46:11.202
And so once we realize that we cannot be of great service if we are suffering with the suffering, we start to learn the tools right.

00:46:11.202 --> 00:46:39.518
So you start to break up your day, you start to, you know, do a dance, do some jumping jacks, anything in between interactions, and if you can't do anything, then you literally just say, hey, I had this interaction, I feel very deeply for this person, and now I must detach because I must serve the rest of my day and the rest of the people that I get to be with, and I must serve myself, I must serve my body.

00:46:39.557 --> 00:46:43.271
That is my vessel and you have to keep your body optimized.

00:46:43.271 --> 00:46:54.612
So you have to do the detaching so that your body is always whole If you attach, attach, attach all day long to many, many people and don't detach at any point.

00:46:54.612 --> 00:47:12.820
And do something to clear your energy and for yourself something that's soothing for yourself, then you're depleting, depleting, depleting, and soon there's no energy left for your own physical body, for your own emotional life to be peaceful and for your own mental state to be de-stressed.

00:47:13.925 --> 00:47:16.572
So what do you incorporate when you're working with someone?

00:47:16.572 --> 00:47:25.268
Even you know, if you feel like there's some darkness in there, you know maybe they're dealing with some addictions or, um, they're just a depression.

00:47:25.268 --> 00:47:29.155
And so how do you, what do you kind of practices?

00:47:29.155 --> 00:47:32.231
Cause I know, as I do group breath work, sessions and whatnot.

00:47:32.231 --> 00:47:35.951
You know you could probably take that on and I do some clearing as well.

00:47:35.951 --> 00:47:37.695
You know before and after.

00:47:37.695 --> 00:47:42.393
But I'm just curious as to what practices you do after you work with someone.

00:47:43.476 --> 00:47:46.744
Yes, absolutely, depending on where I'm working with them right.

00:47:46.744 --> 00:47:55.630
So many times I'm at a medical practice, at a conference, one-on-one or over Zoom, I always find a place to.

00:47:55.630 --> 00:48:04.693
If I can go outside, you know, even for like a minute or two minutes, and just like if I can see the sun, for me that's amazing.

00:48:04.693 --> 00:48:06.597
I just connect to the sun.

00:48:06.597 --> 00:48:07.907
Just what does that mean?

00:48:07.907 --> 00:48:08.610
Connect to the sun?

00:48:08.610 --> 00:48:10.916
It's not so woo, it's not mystical.

00:48:10.916 --> 00:48:14.610
You know I don't have wings to fly up there and grab it.

00:48:14.610 --> 00:48:23.797
I just, you know, see it and allow the sun as I breathe in, and you do breath work, so you understand how powerful that is.

00:48:23.797 --> 00:48:33.980
I breathe in the sun through the top of my head and I take it all the way down to my feet and let it go through the earth and I just do like a few breaths with the sun.

00:48:33.980 --> 00:48:44.168
I will, if I have gone into bathroom stalls and just done a bunch of tapping because I was at a conference or somewhere where I had no privacy and just tapped my body.

00:48:44.168 --> 00:48:47.998
You know, sometimes you just also like clear your body, like this.

00:48:47.998 --> 00:48:56.860
You know, you tap it and you're like, okay, I'm cleaning off that energy and then taking again some breaths to bring in the energy that you want.

00:48:56.860 --> 00:49:02.335
Uh, and that is very interesting, right, because a lot of people do the clearing but they forget to get refilled up.

00:49:02.335 --> 00:49:11.333
So we don't just do the clearing, right, we also have to say, okay, now I'm clearing this out, I'm jumping is great, I love jumping.

00:49:11.333 --> 00:49:20.137
I do like jumping all the time in between, kind of like you would just bounce on the floor, because that actually clears out your lymphatic system as well.

00:49:20.137 --> 00:49:21.628
So try that.

00:49:21.628 --> 00:49:26.976
Oh, yes, yeah, even just 10 jumps, just like you would on a rebounder.

00:49:26.976 --> 00:49:32.338
This clears out your lymphatic system and it resets your body very quickly.

00:49:32.405 --> 00:49:44.831
I think jumping is one of the fastest ways to shift the energy in your body, not just physiologically, but also emotionally and spiritually, because it's almost like you're telling the body I'm clearing this out and it's also telling the body I'm alive.

00:49:44.831 --> 00:49:48.367
Look, I'm jumping, I'm here and so I use.

00:49:48.367 --> 00:49:57.396
Everything I use is very, very simple, and it all has both mental, emotional, spiritual and physiological effects.

00:49:57.396 --> 00:50:10.253
And then I set the intention to refill, right, and again, usually that is with breath, because that's the easiest thing that we can always do, just taking a few breaths of gratitude, of knowing I'm full, I'm here to serve.

00:50:10.253 --> 00:50:22.869
I know that I can do good works here, and I always pray, I always ask, I always say you know, may I be honest, humble and helpful, may I be guarded and guided.

00:50:22.869 --> 00:50:31.516
I ask the divine you know, please use me as your vessel, speak through me, speak the words that will help someone today.

00:50:31.516 --> 00:50:36.413
Help me serve humanity, help me stay out of my way, you know.

00:50:36.625 --> 00:50:40.815
Yes, I always say that I'm like God just wants me to get out of my own way.

00:50:40.815 --> 00:50:49.596
You know I block my own self of what he's asking me to do and you know I love everything that you shared right now.

00:50:49.596 --> 00:50:52.713
Every single tool didn't cost $1.

00:50:53.534 --> 00:50:59.125
I love that I absolutely love that, because a lot of people will be like, oh well, I need money to go and do it.

00:50:59.125 --> 00:51:02.635
I'm like, everything you mentioned right there didn't cost a dime.

00:51:02.635 --> 00:51:18.335
So it's for everybody, it's for all, and that's why I'm also passionate about, you know, the breathwork and the prayer and the affirmations, all of those, because you can take those with you anywhere you know, and those practices are very, very powerful.

00:51:18.335 --> 00:51:20.112
So I love that you share that.

00:51:20.112 --> 00:51:25.835
Now, so let me look at some of the questions, because there were some that I didn't want to miss.

00:51:25.835 --> 00:51:26.538
Asking you.

00:51:26.538 --> 00:51:33.958
I feel like, oh yeah, what's your prayer or blessing for every?

00:51:33.958 --> 00:51:36.286
Like a what's an example prayer?

00:51:36.286 --> 00:51:38.811
I think you just kind of mentioned one, but what's uh?

00:51:39.213 --> 00:51:51.121
when you're, you're drawn to or you'd like to share yes, well, I you know I'm a person that I embrace all spiritual practices, all religious practices.

00:51:51.121 --> 00:51:53.887
I don't personally practice one in particular.

00:51:53.887 --> 00:52:07.817
I believe that the divine God, jesus, allah, krishna, whatever you choose to call the divine I believe the divine is so great and so beautiful and so cool.

00:52:07.836 --> 00:52:07.976
Me too.

00:52:07.976 --> 00:52:10.577
I always say that, like all the religions, I say that in my all the religions, you know.

00:52:10.780 --> 00:52:11.101
Yes.

00:52:11.403 --> 00:52:13.989
Yeah, I say that in my book too, the last chapter.

00:52:14.570 --> 00:52:24.858
Yes, that it's so beautiful that it said at some point in time it said listen, guys, I want you all to benefit from the blessings that I can give you.

00:52:24.858 --> 00:52:29.735
So I'm going to give you all kinds of religious practices, all kinds of spirituality.

00:52:29.735 --> 00:52:34.956
So then you get to choose what you want to call me, you get to choose how you work with me.

00:52:34.956 --> 00:52:43.014
So I think the vast diaspora that we have of practices is actually a reason to celebrate even more.

00:52:43.014 --> 00:52:50.474
And in my own prayers, you know I consider doing affirmations and prayers pretty much the same thing.

00:52:50.474 --> 00:52:53.327
You know I always ask to be guided.

00:52:53.327 --> 00:52:55.731
You know this is the most important thing.

00:52:55.731 --> 00:53:01.177
I do my own meditation in the morning and you know there was a point in time where I used to meditate.

00:53:01.177 --> 00:53:04.708
My whole prayer practice was like two hours every morning.

00:53:04.708 --> 00:53:20.097
I don't do that anymore because I continue to get busier with the blessings that keep happening in my life and so I have about a 30-minute practice, but it includes a lot of things, right?

00:53:20.097 --> 00:53:22.327
It's not like sitting there the whole time.

00:53:22.327 --> 00:53:35.293
I do a small meditation, I do a little bit of writing, I do the things that I mentioned to you, the three things I'm grateful for, the three intentions I have for myself, the three intentions I have on how I may serve.

00:53:35.293 --> 00:53:43.641
I think about the people that may need some extra good energy today, some extra blessings.

00:53:43.641 --> 00:54:03.028
I think about those people and I put my hand on my heart, just like this, and I try to just send them some silent blessings, silent love, you know, or a good intention it doesn't have to be so, you know, complicated just thinking of them and wishing good for them.

00:54:03.028 --> 00:54:37.396
You know, I try to think of whoever comes to mind, people that I know are struggling in the world, and, more than anything, in my particular case, my goal is to help as many people as I can, or, if you want to call it that, for the divine to use me to help as many people as it can and to bring into my life the people that need and can benefit from my teachings or the things that I've been blessed to learn, that I can pass on, to be of service, to serve in a way that makes people's lives better.

00:54:37.396 --> 00:54:41.009
This is my great prayer, and I do pray, you know.

00:54:41.009 --> 00:54:43.335
Please, you know, keep my physical body healthy.

00:54:43.335 --> 00:54:47.532
Give me clear signs to know what's next for me.

00:54:47.532 --> 00:54:53.443
As you know, we all are experiencing life one year at a time.

00:54:53.784 --> 00:54:56.271
I pause there for a second because I don't call it aging.

00:54:56.271 --> 00:55:01.028
Um, I'm very careful with with the wording regarding living on the planet.

00:55:01.028 --> 00:55:01.429
I call it.

00:55:01.429 --> 00:55:04.780
How many years have I been blessed to live on the planet?

00:55:04.780 --> 00:55:05.664
And I?

00:55:05.664 --> 00:55:17.757
Actually a friend of mine and I were both joking because he's actually one of the very well-known spiritual leaders in the world and he was also saying that he never thinks about his age in numbers.

00:55:17.757 --> 00:55:24.378
You know, because we're here in the moment to serve, so I do in the prayers include.

00:55:24.378 --> 00:55:31.958
You know that I may always be conscious of what's going on with my physical body so that I always take good care of it.

00:55:31.958 --> 00:55:38.539
Right, as our physical bodies are so good to us, they carry us through this amazing life.

00:55:38.539 --> 00:55:50.012
So I do ask you know, guide me, speak to me, let me know what you need so that I can take very good care of this physical vessel that I'm so privileged to have.

00:55:50.012 --> 00:55:51.155
You know.

00:55:51.356 --> 00:55:53.840
Yeah, to stay attuned to your body.

00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:55.891
I feel like I very much attuned.

00:55:55.891 --> 00:55:56.896
Okay, what do I need?

00:55:56.896 --> 00:56:00.610
Okay, in my office, some supplements, or do I need more sunshine?

00:56:00.610 --> 00:56:02.054
I love you mentioned nature.

00:56:02.054 --> 00:56:08.057
I often, I know, when I lived in Alaska, in British Columbia as well, I'd go up to the mountains.

00:56:08.057 --> 00:56:13.597
You know I felt called to just always go up to the mountains, and now lately it's been going out to California.

00:56:13.597 --> 00:56:15.103
Actually, you go to the ocean.

00:56:15.103 --> 00:56:23.568
You know the ocean has been really healing for my family and and that's nature has always been a big part to recalibrate our nervous system.

00:56:23.568 --> 00:56:35.289
And I know I've noticed that now that you're speaking more, is that what you'd like to do moving on, or you're being more prevalent, like on podcasts now?

00:56:35.289 --> 00:56:38.458
So which is great platform to share your beautiful blessings?

00:56:39.744 --> 00:56:40.266
Yes, you know.

00:56:40.266 --> 00:56:45.036
So I've always spoke, you know, and throughout my life.

00:56:45.036 --> 00:56:56.291
I started in the entertainment industry and I started as a host, a TV host, then an actress, and I had the blessing of speaking for many large audiences for a very long time.

00:56:56.291 --> 00:57:08.748
And so now for many years, as my personal practice got busier and busier, with my private clients I was only doing private speaking, like to their organizations.

00:57:08.748 --> 00:57:24.126
But as I started to work more closely with doctors and their organizations, thanks to my clients, actually, because my clients started to realize while they worked with me, they wanted their doctors to be on the same team, on the same wavelength.

00:57:24.126 --> 00:57:36.219
They wanted, when they had severe illness, they wanted the doctors to understand the mental, emotional and spiritual work they were doing, so that the doctors could get on board and affect their physical healing.

00:57:36.219 --> 00:57:47.630
And so there are only so many hours in the day, as you know, and this is why I'm accepting more speaking at conferences and for larger audiences.

00:57:47.630 --> 00:57:48.391
Why?

00:57:48.391 --> 00:57:51.858
Because this is a way to get the message out to more people.

00:57:53.025 --> 00:58:00.431
I encourage many of the people that I work with, for example, the doctors to do social media, to go speak at these conferences.

00:58:00.431 --> 00:58:19.708
Why Many of these doctors are private concierge doctors that the average person cannot afford, and so the way that we get to give back is by putting content out on social media so that, guess what there might be someone who's suffering with an illness that can only go to a regular primary care doctor.

00:58:19.708 --> 00:58:27.873
But they just heard this amazing doctor that does a ton of research talk about, you know, a new medication or a new test that can be done.

00:58:27.873 --> 00:58:36.054
So they might just catch that on social media one day and they can take that to their primary care doctor and say, hey, I heard about this.

00:58:36.054 --> 00:58:39.014
Please, let's get this tested, let's try this.

00:58:39.014 --> 00:58:47.277
So the speaking really is about making the messages available to more people, right?

00:58:47.664 --> 00:58:49.733
Yeah, seeing social media a different way too.

00:58:49.733 --> 00:58:53.489
She was my publisher who told me the same thing as I was writing my book.

00:58:53.489 --> 00:59:00.260
She's like you're really gonna have to get out there, see, is not a negative but just a free platform to reach so many more people.

00:59:00.260 --> 00:59:06.460
You know, now I have people worldwide texting me from Australia or Spain and that I've made.

00:59:06.460 --> 00:59:13.217
You know Halifax in Canada and I was like, wow, I wouldn't be able to reach those people if I've never went on social media.

00:59:13.666 --> 00:59:20.434
So seeing it as a positive, where we can spread that light, you know, and in a bigger platform.

00:59:20.434 --> 00:59:22.885
So I love that and it's true, it's.

00:59:22.885 --> 00:59:30.434
You know, even when I read Good Energy, cali Means, you know they are just sharing their knowledge, too, on social media.

00:59:30.434 --> 00:59:36.978
So you know what to ask your, your doctor, and I love that you're working on doctors as well, because they'll have.

00:59:36.978 --> 00:59:41.179
You know, if I think of our dental practice, we have 5,000 patients.

00:59:41.179 --> 00:59:48.543
So if you work on that dentist, it's going to have that ripple effect how they treat all their patients and their staff.

00:59:48.543 --> 01:00:10.157
You know, I saw that with a local dentist here, dr Nichols, what he's creating at his office, doing breath work with his team and working on himself and his wife has a tremendous amount of ripple effect how he treats everyone from the root cause, you know, and understanding that energy exchange and bringing that forward.

01:00:10.157 --> 01:00:12.159
So I see that being really powerful.

01:00:13.726 --> 01:00:14.507
Oh, absolutely.

01:00:14.507 --> 01:00:26.518
You know the doctors that incorporate their own mindset tools that really start to elevate how they live their lives and how they are happy in their own personal life.

01:00:26.518 --> 01:00:35.793
Those doctors have far better patient outcomes than doctors that are not incorporating these tools, and I've worked with many practices that do this.

01:00:35.793 --> 01:00:50.150
Now they not only are giving good care, good medical care, but they are also working on their mindset and we actually work with their staff as well, like on how to shift their mindset, how to remove interference.

01:00:50.150 --> 01:00:57.619
Again, when we remove interference to our own healing, we also remove interference on how we affect other people.

01:00:58.221 --> 01:01:06.789
If you are a service provider, a medical provider, for example, this is the easiest one If you have any judgment on the person that you're going to help.

01:01:06.789 --> 01:01:12.346
If doctors or their staff have a judgment on the patient going to help.

01:01:12.346 --> 01:01:21.451
If doctors or their staff have a judgment on the patient, the patient doesn't know exactly why, but they have a little bit of a reservation on sharing everything, because there's something in their consciousness that knows they're being judged.

01:01:21.451 --> 01:01:33.407
Versus if a doctor, if a staff or any of us who provide any service can come to each human being who we are blessed to serve with a clean slate, not judging them.

01:01:33.407 --> 01:01:50.590
We don't care where they came from, how famous they are, if they're not famous, if they have a bad reputation or a good reputation, we just see them as a human being that is coming for help, that needs some healing, that is just like everyone else with their own faults, and we just serve them.

01:01:51.293 --> 01:02:00.088
Like I tell them look at the problem they're coming with, don't look at the personality, just come in with the purpose of helping them heal.

01:02:00.088 --> 01:02:02.538
Then you remove the interference.

01:02:02.538 --> 01:02:13.291
And these staffs and doctors that I've worked with, I mean suddenly their patients, even difficult patients that they've had suddenly they change their mindset, they're suddenly optimistic.

01:02:13.291 --> 01:02:18.597
They used to come in like kind of with a bad attitude or hopeless, you know, thinking it's not going to work for them.

01:02:18.597 --> 01:02:27.353
Now they're coming in feeling good, because they feel welcome, they know they're not being judged and now they're looking forward to their visits.

01:02:27.353 --> 01:02:29.347
And guess what that actually affects?

01:02:29.347 --> 01:02:35.554
How the medicine, how the physical therapy, how the protocols that the doctors give them, affects them.

01:02:36.467 --> 01:02:42.507
Oh, I can see that it's so powerful because it affects, you know, the inflammation in the body right the immune system.

01:02:42.507 --> 01:02:43.911
So it's a as a whole.

01:02:43.911 --> 01:02:45.315
I love that.

01:02:45.315 --> 01:02:49.472
So how can people find you and your amazing blessings?

01:02:49.472 --> 01:02:56.271
You know, your posts are always so um, inspiring, you know, every time I read one I'm like, oh yes, this is it.

01:02:56.271 --> 01:02:59.496
And then and so how can people find?

01:02:59.536 --> 01:03:15.650
