In this heartwarming episode, Will and Karen sit down with Brien Egan, an experienced cacao ceremony facilitator, to discuss the rich spiritual essence and metaphysical wonders of cacao ceremonies.

Main Themes:

  • Cacao as Medicine: Brian Egan distinguishes the ceremonial-grade cacao from everyday chocolate, emphasizing its role as a gentle medicine that nurtures heart consciousness and spiritual growth.
  • Intention and Ritual: The importance of setting intentions and the use of ichiros (medicine songs) and energy-clearing tools are discussed, underscoring the significance of creating a sacred ceremonial space.
  • Heart Intelligence: The episode dives into the concept of “heart math,” exploring the research that investigates the heart’s capacity for intelligence that goes beyond its biological functions.
  • Sacred Presence: The hosts and guest reflect on how sacred medicines like cacao help individuals stay in the present moment, assisting them on their spiritual paths and providing transformative experiences.
  • Energetic Connection: Ceremonial cacao is metaphorically described as an “energetic hug.” Its ability to foster connection and acceptance is explored, with a note on its mild nature compared to other psychedelics.
  • Music and Gratitude: The cleansing power of music and the act of expressing gratitude when consuming food are touched upon, hinting at a future where medicine could increasingly incorporate sound and vibration.
  • Voice as Healing: The hosts and guest share personal stories about the healing aspects of the human voice, including its use in medical settings such as a hospital NICU.
  • The “Ah” Connection: The conversation turns to the significance of the sound “ah” in spiritual practice and its connection to the divine.
  • Practical Application: Listeners are provided with practical advice on how to participate in cacao ceremonies and sound healing in their own lives.
  • Guided Meditation: The episode wraps up with a serene guided meditation centered on relaxation, gratitude, and acceptance, inviting the audience to let go of stress and connect with love and vibration.

1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:04.559
My name is Will and I'm Karen, and unlike moulderin Scully, we both

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:07.599
want to believe. So we've embarked
in a journey of discovery. We've talked

3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:11.759
to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual
and metaphysical world. We've thrown ourselves into

4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.880
weird and wonderful experiences. I even
joined a coven of witches and wait,

5
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:20.280
you joined a coven? Yep,
all the interest of finding something, anything,

6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.960
that will prove that there's something beyond
this physical, three dimensional world we

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:40.439
all live in. This is the
skeptic metaphysicians. Hey, Karen, Yeah,

8
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.880
we got another review. Ye who? No, no, it is

9
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.320
who because it's another five star.
Oh. This one is from Vivid five

10
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.759
to one five and I'm taking the
reins back of the of the microphone,

11
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.159
so I get to read this one
now, of course. And well,

12
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.960
this one comes to us through Apple
Podcasts, a five star review, the

13
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.920
topic of which says priceless ooh yep, and it goes on to say I

14
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.680
literally stumbled upon this podcast one morning
last year and have been a fan ever

15
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.239
since. My morning walk is typically
four miles to a local lake or park,

16
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.840
and I have my podcasts queued specifically
to keep my pace moving. Unfortunately,

17
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.040
I tripped on the raised concrete that
morning and dropped my phone. When

18
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.519
I picked it up to resume the
podcast were all scrambled and I just hit

19
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.040
play and this showed up. It
was meant to be. It was kismet.

20
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.159
They're going to say, keep up
the great work, wonderful guests,

21
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.959
speakers, and fantastic hosts. Sending
many blessings. For twenty twenty four,

22
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:46.840
Vivid five one five you have risen
to the top of the favorite reviewers category.

23
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.200
This is so cool because it shows
how the universe just kind of aligned

24
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.400
itself to give you exactly what you
need at the perfect moment in which you

25
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.799
needed. That's awesome. I love
that so much. Absolutely all right,

26
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.560
thank you Vivid for sending us this, for leaving us this review on Apple

27
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.799
podcast And if you'd like to hear
your review read on the air, feel

28
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.840
free to go to Apple Podcasts and
leave us a five star review there,

29
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:13.439
or go to skepticvision dot com leave
us a voicemail or an email, or

30
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.360

on the site as well. So what

31
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.479
do you think, Karen, Well, I was just thinking they can still

32
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.159
leave a review on Apple podcast even
if it's not five stars. I know,

33
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.680
but you know, how nice would
it be to leave a five stars?

34
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.199
It would be nice. If you
have less than a five star,

35
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.719
maybe go to skeptic vision dot com
leave us a review there, because we

36
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.879
do really appreciate constructive criticism. We
do want to make a show better,

37
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.439
and we would appreciate hearing from you
any thoughts that you might have. We

38
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.000
sure would. So. Meanwhile,
I think we've da lead enough. Why

39
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:50.639
don't we get started with the show. Today's topic centers around a heart opening,

40
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.960
consciousness raising infinite intelligence that we are
all already partaking in without even knowing

41
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.800
it now. Although that might be
a simplistic way of broach in the topic,

42
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.639
we are already partaking in it.
However, we are missing a very

43
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.599
specific element that activates this powerful medicine. And we're talking, of course,

44
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:15.800
about the power of cacao. With
us here today to separate fact from myth

45
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.240
is ca Cow ceremony facilitator Brian Egan. Brian, thank you so much for

46
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.159
being on the show today. Thank
you, thank you for having me,

47
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.639
thanks for being here. I'm really
grateful to be here now. We're thrilled

48
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.599
to have you. Let's just right
off the bats at the table. Caw

49
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:38.400
ceremonies are very well known in South
America and all those kinds of places.

50
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.840
Uh And let's talk a tough subject
first. Right here, you are a

51
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.520
white guy who is facilitating cal ceremonies. First, let's talk what does coo

52
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.919
cow do? We all know about
ayahuasca and cybin and things like that,

53
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:59.680
but cakaw is very much more gentle
medicine. Let's talk about that. And

54
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:05.120
then how did you fall into this
facilitating of of this wonderful medicine. So

55
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.520
yeah, right up the bat,
the the elephant in the room. Yeah,

56
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.719
I'm just a uh a, a
white guy facilitating practicing. I'm holding

57
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.399
the sacred space because it there's not
someone here holding that space. And I

58
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:28.120
recognize that, and I also recognize
that that this medicine is way beyond the

59
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.079
shell that we give it with chocolate
m you know, and and that the

60
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:38.639
more that we can embody that sacredness
of it and the real depth of its

61
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.040
ability to open us into a higher
heart consciousness, which is which is what

62
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.600
ascension and evolution is, you know, it's it's moving from the beyond the

63
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.959
physical, the three lower dimensions of
the physical up into the redemption part of

64
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.519
the heart, where we can be
open and connect honestly and openly and with

65
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:09.199
love in every opportunity, in every
situation in our life. And the more

66
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.120
that I've worked with this medicine and
learned from it, the more I've been

67
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:19.360
able to allow my own heart space
to open further and further. And and

68
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:29.959
our heart, our heart gives a
vibration of coherence, so it is our

69
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.800
Are you guys familiar with the heart
math Institute of course? Okay, so

70
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:40.279
you know it's commonplace now. Twenty
years ago when I was learning about it,

71
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.800
it was like what is this?
This is pretty awesome, you know,

72
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.759
and like why is this a thing? Why are we studying how the

73
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.759
heartbeat goes? Can we how does
this show us, you know, show

74
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.000
us the future, show us the
past, you know, tap into those

75
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:55.600
core vibrations of what we are.
And for those that may not be familiar

76
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.000
with heart math, we're talking,
of course about the fact that heart has

77
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.120
its own intelligence and there's an institute
here that is actually looking into researching that

78
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.560
intelligence and all the different aspects of
how the heart affects us in everyday life,

79
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.920
way beyond just pumping blood through our
systems. And on the other side

80
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.879
of the heart, I want to
say that I do appreciate you. You're

81
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:16.920
coming in. We talked about you, this white guy, and there's a

82
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.000
difference between appropriating and honoring, right
and just hearing, you know, the

83
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.560
little conversation we had before this,
hearing how you talk about it and how

84
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.360
you present it is just filled with
so much love. And I just want

85
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.959
to make sure that everyone really understands
that that this is about honoring this,

86
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.240
the sacred medicine, right It's it's
not about me. It's not about what

87
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.680
my skin looks like. It's not
about the you know, the the past

88
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.800
of our futures or or where our
future is going. It's about that.

89
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.600
It's about where we are right now, you know. It's not about and

90
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.959
the heart and the therapeore means that
are activated in the cacau and all these

91
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.160
things. They move us, they
open us, they bring us into that

92
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.800
space. You know, this this
fell into my lap. I didn't ask

93
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.519
for this medicine to be a part
of my life. It showed up and

94
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.959
it like it just and I was
like, okay, well I guess that's

95
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.519
where we're moving, you know.
Like I started the story with you guys

96
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.279
a little bit earlier, and I'll
tell you again, so like I'll tell

97
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.240
you the end of it, which
was really just like oh well, okay,

98
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.920
you know. And as all these
things go and and as respiratual journey

99
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.680
progresses, it becomes to a point
where it does teach you, like the

100
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:27.959
the journey teaches you. The the
extra influences, the other guides show up

101
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.439
and teach you, and they show
you where you're going, you know.

102
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.079
And this this really just showed up. Somebody contacted me because I've been leading

103
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.720
the meditations for years, and she
had come to them, and her brother

104
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.000
was coming into town and he he
had been leading cacao ceremonies with his partner

105
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.600
who who lived on a giant forty
acre coco farm in Guatemala, and she

106
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:55.360
organized massive cow ceremonial like multi tribe
gatherings to like bring an honor cacaw.

107
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.839
You know, it was their their
their lifeblood, you know. And so

108
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.120
he brought that medicine here and and
he shared it with me and taught me

109
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.759
and and and explained to me the
ritual part. And I saw how that

110
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.079
fits with what we're doing, with
what these sound meditations are, and all

111
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.600
the work of showing up for people
in a spiritual way and holding space is

112
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.720
and that's what this shamanic spiritual journey
is and and and that with with the

113
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.600
cacao and so so he didn't even
get to lead the first one with me,

114
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.360
and I was like what. He's
like, no, you can do

115
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.319
this, And I'm like, what
are you talking on? And you can

116
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:28.839
do it because he had to go
out of town and I'm like, that's

117
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.519
okay. I actually got to lead
with him with him after that and he

118
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:37.559
was like it was it was really
awesome, but it was wolves you can

119
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.759
do it. I'm like, all
right. And so that's been, you

120
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.120
know, a stumbling journey, and
I'm glad that our whole spiritual community,

121
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.720
including the area and everybody here has
shown up and held space for me while

122
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.559
I was learning. And yeah,
and that's just so wonderful. And before

123
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.679
we get too deep into that,
I want to kind of clarify because at

124
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.360
the beginning we said everyone's partaking in
this because everybody chocolate, everybody loves chocolate.

125
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.759
Cacao is different. First, can
you just tell us. How like,

126
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.919
what's the difference. So someone can't
just you know, buy a cand

127
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.360
of bar and think, all right, I'm doing this. You know,

128
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.879
why am I not healed? Is
that what I'm doing wrong? I think

129
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.559
that's what you're doing wrong. I
need a lot of chocolate. So what

130
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:20.559
is sacred cacaw? And that's different
from chocolate? Well, the chemical composition

131
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.600
isn't too much different other than all
the additives and things. But as a

132
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.039
whole, cacaw is the raw form
of what chocolate becomes, you know,

133
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.679
And and the process is really interesting. I got to go to a cacao

134
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.840
farm in Costa Rica and really like
check it out and see the whole process

135
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.480
of how they cook the beans down
and they let it ferment first in the

136
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.879
bag like they're like football sized pads, you know, and they take out

137
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.039
and each one has little things in
it, and each one has the seed

138
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.759
inside. It's really awesome and it
has a sweet flavor. The white goo

139
00:09:52.840 --> 00:10:05.120
that's on the inside another part of
it. So it's it's going back to

140
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.879
the question, So, yeah,
what makes it, Like is it a

141
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.080
certain type of cacaw that's used for
these ceremonies. Well, yeah, ceremony.

142
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.960
Gar Gree cacao is is just processed
and the rows form it can be,

143
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.799
and it's blessed and and songs are
sung to it and to help infuse

144
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.159
it with the the intention and the
medicine of what it's supposed to be creating.

145
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.799
And I think that's key, right. You can't just get you know,

146
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.120
go to cos Rica or Ecuador or
wherever and get a cacao and create

147
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.159
your own. I mean, I
guess you could create your own ceremony,

148
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.360
but it's not it's the intention that
you put right well, And that's not

149
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.440
to nullify those things, because people
do that all the time. Like there's

150
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.960
there you can you can buy little
packets of you know, like ceremonial cacao,

151
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.519
like just like individual things you can
like I don't think there's cacups of

152
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.200
them, but there's you know,
really like it's it's it's becoming very very

153
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.480
commonplace and accepted as as a sacred
right. You know a lot of women

154
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.960
are using it for womb healing and
for holding that sacred energetic like it's like

155
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.840
getting an energetic hug. That's that's
why chocolate is so so like soothing.

156
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.720
Chocolate is soothing. We go to
it for that feeling that it creates.

157
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.799
You know, it opens up your
heart space so that you can honestly connect

158
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.799
because you're more in your heart space, and your heart space is the space

159
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.720
where you're in a point of redemption
and like, and redemption is about acceptance

160
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.559
and accepting all people and all cultures
and all things. Right. And we

161
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.399
should definitely talk with the fact that
though this is a medicine, right,

162
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:48.200
a typical ceremony with medicine like ayahuasca, cilocybin, it's much more gentle medicine.

163
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.399
It's not something that's going to take
you on a trip for example that

164
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.720
people are right. Yeah, you'll
just feel like more hyper and more uplifted

165
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.360
and more excited about things and more
connected to others, right, things like

166
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.240
that, Right, And so that's
that's what's so much fun about the cacao

167
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.879
is that you really can like you
just feel so like blissed out when you

168
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.039
leave. And and it's it's not
just the cacao though, it's it's the

169
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.000
infusion of the vibration of the medicine, you know, And that's where the

170
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.960
the ikoo, which is what I'm
going to share with you guys in a

171
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.879
little bit comes in, you know. And so the ecroos are the medicine

172
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.159
songs, and many different tribal traditions
have their own medicine songs that they work

173
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.840
with. The ones that I use
are from the Peruvian tradition and the Shippibo,

174
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.000
and they they are the ikio,
which are the medicine songs that are

175
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.480
used in their work with ayahuasca and
with just general healing. You know,

176
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.879
it's not it's not always about using
the medicine itself. It's about because it

177
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.720
was never about the medicine. It's
about the vibration and understanding it. And

178
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.159
as the shaman becomes comfortable with that, they never needed the when when they

179
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.799
do the ceremonies in their tribes,
they don't the tribes people don't take the

180
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.320
medicine because they don't need to,
right right, And as the shaman,

181
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.600
if the shaman as they're going into
that state to be the transmission and to

182
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.159
be the bridge between the energy and
the healing. So if someone wanted to

183
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.879
attend one of these ceremonies, what
would they expect? How does the ceremony

184
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:16.159
go? Oka cow While we get
set up and set intentions first, I've

185
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.240
done them a number of different ways, but the the core at the beginning

186
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:26.480
is a clearing of the space with
usually with sage or plasanto or some form

187
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:33.519
of a gopal like a a energy
clearing. And what I've added into it

188
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.919
over the years is when i do
my clearings for people, I'll blow energy

189
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.159
through them and I'll also tone energy
through them with this sound and this vibration,

190
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.039
just to help them clear their whole
field. So like the one we're

191
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.960
gonna be doing today, the ecro
I'm gonna be singing is called cleansing the

192
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.399
spirit. So we're gonna be clearing
out our energetic spiritual field around us so

193
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:01.639
that we are just in our own
selves, in our own vibration, our

194
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.480
own heart coherence right right, and
and then and so now you're touching on

195
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.879
that element, that missing element that
we talked about the very beginning of the

196
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.279
show, that the sac that even
though we're all partaking in it, there's

197
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.679
there's a missing element. And that
is the intention, but also the vibrational,

198
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.600
the sacredness of the medicine, the
holding space of it all. It's

199
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.799
all of that together is what makes
this such powerful medicine. It's not just

200
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.080
you know, pop a piece of
chocolate in your mouth, but think about

201
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.759
that, every time you eat a
piece of chocolate. Every time you get

202
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.559
a piece of chocolate, go into
it with intention, like think about it,

203
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.799
say thank you for this. I
mean gratitude. Gratitude activates the highest

204
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.120
vibrational frequency that we are. You
don't know how happy you're making him right

205
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:54.080
now. You just gave him a
reason to buy a gratitude. You know

206
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.320
what. I don't have a problem
clearing all of our scales from the house.

207
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.039
Fine, okay, so yes,
the IMPI I hate to use the

208
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.840
word impurities, but you know,
just sugar and the additives and things like

209
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.480
that in the Hershey's bar for example, probably not the best of course,

210
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.799
of course, right and and you
know, and unfortunately we are in this

211
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.799
environment so we have to transmute the
energy in it as well. And so

212
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.240
you know, it's like we're not
we're not all becoming Bretherians and we're going

213
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.840
to live in the mountains and where
we can't be around any energies that are

214
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.159
difficult. We have to be in
these energies and we have to be in

215
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.519
this dimension, right, and we
have to be in America, right,

216
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.840
and we have to be you know, like you know, and and these

217
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.159
are the confines of what we're sitting
in, so in that we we take

218
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.720
on those roles and we have to
transmit that energy at the same time,

219
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:46.440
even if it's difficult. Well,
it's interesting that we talk about the vibration

220
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.639
of sound as being part of this
healing frequencies and things like that. Advocacy

221
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.440
in his readings once said that the
medicine of the future would sound, sound

222
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.399
and vibration and music. Yeah,
right, yeah, and so yeah,

223
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.799
Wayne Perry one of the godfathers of
sound healing. I've had him on a

224
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.720
couple of my conferences. He he's
amazing him and I are doing a class

225
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.279
in a couple of months on it'll
be like online and stuff. He's in

226
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:22.320
California and he does this. He
wrote the book Sound Medicine, and it

227
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:27.159
is it. It really respects and
tries to honor the fact that the human

228
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:33.000
voice is the perfect healing tool.
And that's way Wayne's quote. You know,

229
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.480
it's the human voice. If you
clear it completely, it will heal

230
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.919
everything in your life and your experience. The vocal analysis thing he does,

231
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.120
it takes apart your voice and like
really looks at with respectral analysis of like

232
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.600
the way it sits and how that
sits in like how they tie it to

233
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.200
the different correspondences with your like how
mind body connection kind of thing, you

234
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.919
know, but like sound body connection. You know, it's like a different

235
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:03.039
angle to sorry, but perfectly fine. But so basically you're not saying that

236
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.119
I can go around and go I'm
here and then suddenly I'm healed by there's

237
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.359
more to it than that, or
or is it that well, there's there's

238
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.079
a lot more, sorry, but
there's a yeah, there's a there's way

239
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.920
more than that. I had a
feeling feeling. But singing brings joy to

240
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.160
every space, you know, it
does. It does. There's not a

241
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.960
way that it doesn't, you know. And and I've learned that with like

242
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.400
because the things that I do with
my vocal work, I've been doing for

243
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.799
twenty two years, and it's been
teaching me these last few years, like

244
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:42.039
really like splitting my voice in different
ways, overturning and undertoning at the same

245
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.039
time, and watching the sounds blend, and it's really neat. And as

246
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:52.279
I learned to sing the ichoro and
work with the sound medicine like even deeper

247
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.559
because I teach this. You know, I have a Sound Healing The Sound

248
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.759
Healing Conservatory is the school that I
have and I've been teaching it for this

249
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.119
is our fifth year. And that's
why I said, Wayne's come man.

250
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.640
I've done conferences online and all kinds
of things, like I've been working with

251
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.000
the ARIA for almost you know,
I've been working with the ARIA for twenty

252
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.519
twenty two years and I've been you
know, part of the ARIA for almost

253
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.519
thirty years. You know, since
I was a kid. I've been like

254
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.839
it's been my like and we just
ended up here. You know, everything

255
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.440
gets placed towards supposed to be absolutely
so it is what it is. I

256
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.039
love that. Thank you. So
once you really got involved, like full

257
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.119
on in the Sound Healing, how
did you notice like its effect on you.

258
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.720
Did you notice yourself changing, feeling
healthier? Yeah? It super heeled

259
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.720
everything in my life. Yeah,
like in a lot of ways. The

260
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.960
I could I have like a book
of stories, I'm sure, but one

261
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.640
most significant thing would be my son. He's five years old now. But

262
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.000
I had to learn how to sing
under my breath, to sing in the

263
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.440
nicku because he was in the Niku
for the first five months of his life.

264
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.400
So like when he was in there, like I couldn't just be like

265
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.440
singing and trying to bring bulls,
like we have a couple of times we

266
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.279
snuck bulls into but they let us
because they know that it's you know,

267
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:07.200
like, yeah, they actually invited
us to come back in to do some

268
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:14.039
sound for the families and stuff,
stuff like r at the Yeah and at

269
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.799
c h k D in Norfolk is
so wonderful. We had to be pretty

270
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.880
much moved in so yeah, but
but you could hear it. You know,

271
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.559
I'd be toning for him, and
I'd hear the other babies in the

272
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.400
room calm down to you know,
because they know and they could feel it.

273
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:33.799
You know, it's not because it
sound. Sound creates space. You

274
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.240
know, there's like you know,
a space and time, right, so

275
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:42.240
like light acknowledges time, right,
sound acknowledges space. Let's take a break

276
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:59.799
and we'll be right back. And
now back to the skeptic metaphysicians. So

277
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:06.799
we're going to hear you perform some
of those healing sounds and will experience those

278
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:14.000
healing frequencies firsthand in just a few
minutes. But tying it back to cacao

279
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.680
and the sacred ceremonies and things like
that. It is important to really stress

280
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:26.400
the relationship between sounds and the ceremony. So how it activates. So I

281
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.119
was just talking about time and space, right, which are acknowledged by the

282
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.000
present moment right right by the here
and the now, right in our heart

283
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.200
space, which is our presence.
Right. So when we activate all those

284
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.880
things at the same time, right
with the sound, with our breath,

285
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:47.359
with our intentions, with the medicine
which comes in and activates in our body,

286
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.480
gets our cells even more activated and
excited. It like just pushes us

287
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:59.799
into this divine, open, clear
state where we can look at ourselves through

288
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.160
the technology, almost like looking back
into ourselves and say, hey, wait,

289
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.720
I can be more loving and compassionate
in this moment. You know,

290
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.720
chocolate will soften your heart, you
know, cocw does soften your heart.

291
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.319
You know it is that that's what
we're doing, you know, because so

292
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:19.839
do you recommend piping chocolate into the
water source? It feels like we kind

293
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.039
of need that across the whole world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the

294
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.559
mainline sound chocolate still set up in
places? Yeah, what is it?

295
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.640
The God tone? Or what was
that called? You know what I'm talking

296
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:36.119
about, like the chanting or something
there's like is it called it? So

297
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.039
the sound, So this is thank
you, thank you for saying that in

298
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.039
my ceremonies another one of them,
because we hadn't finished all that ceremony,

299
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.240
right, So so I just talked
about the clearing, right. So after

300
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.839
the clearing we go in and when
I make the cocaw, I'll usually do

301
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.559
it with everybody toning, so they'll
all be toning the sound of Ah,

302
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.799
which is the sound of God.
So the why I say that, it's

303
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.279
from Wayne Dyer with WAYN. Dyer
from his book to Manifesting Your Destiny.

304
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.920
I listen to that son of tapes
a thousand times and the ah sound that

305
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.559
you do. And if you look
up online, probably on YouTube somewhere Wayne

306
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.160
Wayne Dire Manifesting Meditation. It's like
twenty minutes long and there's a morning one

307
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.000
and a evening one. In the
morning they do ah because Ah is the

308
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:25.039
sound for God in all cultures.
That vowel sound is found in all cultures

309
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.279
words for God. He had like
forty names of God that he showed and

310
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:33.920
every one of them was Ah.
God frequency god frequency, a lah brahma,

311
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.480
right, all those yeah right wow, all the a so toning that

312
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.359
ah opens the heart space because it's
the most it's the sound we make without

313
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.240
putting any inflection on our voice whatsoever. Right, like just ah, you're

314
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.799
not doing anything to your voice.
So it's that open source sound that we

315
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.599
come from. Oh that's interesting and
like baby's first words, Mama or dad?

316
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.759
Has that a sound? Yeah?
Yeah, wow, that's incredible me,

317
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.039
you got it. I was like, whoa wow. So if somebody

318
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:07.000
wanted to experience a cacaw ceremony,
uh what what's the best way for someone

319
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.400
to dip their toe in this kind
of thing? Because they're not gonna go

320
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.240
to guatam All or Peru or Ecuador, although they welcome to do so.

321
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.359
Right, Yeah, well there are
I mean I I do them locally occasionally,

322
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.759
I kind of do it more seasonally. Now I'm you know, this

323
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.599
is my like like my sixth year
doing them, and it's it's you know

324
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.839
it it's evolved, you know.
And I've I've done them at festivals,

325
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:34.400
I've done them at all different places
locally and everywhere, and with yoga swings

326
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.759
and without yoga swings and all the
different ways you can do cacao cool.

327
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.079
So so then so then do they
just reach out to you? What's the

328
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.039
best way for them to how do
they learn about these? Oh? Where

329
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.079
the my my things are on on
on Facebook on my UH Sound Healing Conservatory

330
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:52.799
pages where we have the main listings
of all the sound and cacal events that

331
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.359
we have UH and the trainings and
the classes. The Sound Healing Conservatory dot

332
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:04.759
org is the website for my Sound
Healing classes things. Also, the Ascension

333
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:10.799
World EGO campus is my Facebook page
where we also have cacao events and some

334
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.559
of the events up there and local
events. It's a spiritual organization that I

335
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.359
started to help everybody as send fantastic. I know a lot of people,

336
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.720
especially with COVID, you know,
people are being more careful, They're doing

337
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.599
things remotely. A lot of the
people that we interview do remote healings.

338
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.519
Is this something that someone could if
you had a class online kind of or

339
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.759
a ceremony, could they follow along, Like could they get some sacred cacao

340
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.799
and do this and the follow along
with you? That would be kind of

341
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.920
neat. Yeah, that's something that
could be doable, like where you'd have

342
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.079
them get the materials or you'd send
them the materials to make their own with

343
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.599
you, and you can kind of
teach them. I actually I've taught it

344
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.440
a few times as like a CACAA
ritual training, so like teaching people how

345
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.200
to be facilitators themselves. And like
the core aspect of what I teach is

346
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:57.200
ritual and understanding that everything we do
is ritual all the time, every method,

347
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.279
everything that we do, we make
a practic sport and we embed that

348
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.119
practice in us and it shows up
and everything we do, you know,

349
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:08.039
and so like to be more cognizant
and more aware of that. Yeah,

350
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.519
And it's like fine tuning. And
then the demonstration that you're going to give

351
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.759
the people that are listening to our
podcast, will they get some healing benefit

352
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.480
from just from Yes, I actually
all of the things where I show up.

353
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:26.160
I have an insight timer page where
I stream meditations weekly Sunday mornings from

354
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.519
eight to nine am. And but
they have there it's the number one free

355
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:34.200

358
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.559
put two more on sound and one
of them is an Acho ro. There's

359
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:52.960
a couple of different like angel meditations, and there's four professionally recorded tracks of

360
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.880
the bowls with me playing. Yeah, really good stuff. Very cool.

361
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.559

372
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.640
relaxed state, taking a deep,
full breath in, Can I think into

373
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.119
your heart space, into your lungs, into your diaphragm, breathing in deep,

374
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:06.599
holding it, being present with your
heart, thinking about something and someone

375
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:14.319
you truly love, and slowly breathing
out into that space, and just letting

376
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:21.000
yourself relax into this moment, relaxing
into where you are and how you are

377
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.839
and accepting it just as it is. And take another deep, full breath

378
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.680
in, deep into your belly,
deep into your lungs, breathing in deeper,

379
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:37.160
holding it, holding in your heart
now something you're truly grateful for,

380
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:44.920
something you want to allow more of
into your life, and slowly breathe out

381
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:56.440
into that space and just let yourself
relax, feeling calm, easy, at

382
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:07.359
peace, allowing your spirit to clear
of any disruptions, of any distractions,

383
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:48.680

389
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:42.360

life and to your experience. With every

390
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:49.000
breath and every step on your path
to wholeness and oneness, you allow your

391
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:57.440
resonance, your love vibration, to
echo through. As you allow this,

392
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:02.800
it becomes, and so it does, slowly coming back towards your fingers and

393
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:09.679
toes, your hands and feet,
coming back your arms and legs, finding

394
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:15.679
yourself and your torso and behind your
eyes as that still small, eternal voice.

395
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:20.840
And when you're ready, you can
open your eyes feeling wide awake and

396
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:25.000
wonderful. Thank you so much,
in a huge thank you to you.
