You've felt it. Someone leaves the room and you feel weirdly exhausted. Or you ignored a gut feeling and paid for it later. This episode names what's actually happening, and gives you a practical system to deal with it.

Episode Overview
If you've ever left a conversation feeling like something was stolen from you, or spent years second-guessing whether your instincts were real or just anxiety in a costume, Lisa Campion is here to hand you a very grounded toolkit.

Lisa is a Reiki master teacher, psychic counselor, author, and podcast host with over 30 years of experience working with empaths, healers, and people who are psychically open but have no idea what to do about it. She doesn't ask you to believe anything. She just shows you how the operating system works.

In this conversation, Will and Karen sit down with Lisa to unpack energy vampires, psychic self-defense, and one of the most useful distinctions in modern spirituality; the difference between your intuition and your anxiety. Turns out, one of them has been running the show, and it probably isn't the one you'd want.

What You'll Take Away
  • Energy vampires are real, and most of them don't know they're doing it. Lisa breaks down the two distinct types, including the one that's far more common than the predatory kind, and explains why highly sensitive people are disproportionately in their orbit.
  • There's a name for what you've been experiencing. If you absorb other people's moods, pain, or anxiety as if they were your own, Lisa explains what that actually is, why it happens, and why it can be a profound gift once you learn to manage it.
  • Psychic self-defense isn't a Marvel movie concept. Lisa maps out a practical framework for protecting your energy, including what she calls "spiritual kung fu" for empaths who keep saying yes when they mean no.
  • Intuition and anxiety feel almost identical. but only one of them is telling the truth. Lisa explains the neurological reason for this, and gives you a simple test to tell the difference before you override the right signal again.
  • You're more psychic than you think. Lisa shares a specific, low-effort journaling practice that will show you, within weeks, just how often your intuition has been accurate while you weren't paying attention.
  • The "army of healers" concept. This isn't motivational-poster talk. Lisa explains what a world looks like when empathic, intuitive people stop running on empty and actually show up for themselves and others.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160
Karen, I finally have a name for your ex.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,320
Oh, I have lots of names.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,560
You have nobody to have the definitive name.

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,600
Okay, and energy vampire.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,840
Oh, well, that's nice, but yes.

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,560
That's a nice name.

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,120
But apparently, it's a real thing actually.

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,960
And apparently, there are people walking around right now who could drain your life force

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,040
energy, literally, just by,

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,280
And that is a good name for him.

11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Just by being in the same room with you.

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,960
Yeah, I thought so.

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,760
This honestly explains a lot about the holidays.

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,760
Mm-hmm.

15
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800
But here's where it gets good.

16
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,200
Our guest today has been a psychic and energy healer for over 30 years.

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,000
And she says, not only can you identify these people, you can actually defend yourself

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
against them.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,560
Yes, there is a whole system, psychic self-defense.

20
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Ooh, I like that.

21
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,360
I know me, too, which sounds like something.

22
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,520
I've heard of those belts, like a black belt.

23
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Oh, you know what?

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,520
We'll have to ask about that.

25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,520
That's a great question.

26
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,720
And so psychic self-defense sounds like something I might have invented after watching too many

27
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,120
Marvel movies, but I absolutely didn't.

28
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,560
See, she's also going to break down the difference between your intuition and your anxiety

29
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,600
because apparently they feel almost identical and you've been listening to the wrong one

30
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,600
your entire life.

31
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,200
Are you playing at me?

32
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Well, because I can't say it's me.

33
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,760
So it's gotta be you.

34
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,560
She calls it building an army of healers.

35
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,840
And if that sounds intense, good, because it is.

36
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,800
So if you've ever wondered whether your gut instinct is actually real guidance or just that

37
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,440
burrito you had for lunch, stay right where you are because today we digest that question,

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,120
see what it did there and give you the answers you've been waiting for.

39
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,600
The scutting revisions starts now.

40
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,000
My name is Will and I'm Karen.

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,560
And unlike Mulder and Scully, both want to believe.

42
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,640
So we've embarked on a journey of discovery.

43
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,160
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world.

44
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences.

45
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,720
I even joined a covenant with you.

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,760
And wait, you joined a covenant?

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Yep, all in the interest of fighting something.

48
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,120
Anything.

49
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,280
That will prove that there's something beyond this physical three-dimensional world we

50
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,280
all live in.

51
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,320
This is the skeptic metaphysicians.

52
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Hey there, it's Will just stepping in here for a second to ask you for a favor.

53
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,080
The main reason we do this show is to help others in their spiritual awakening and nothing

54
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,480
makes us happier than to hear or read messages from those that are resonating with the messages

55
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,160
we're sharing on the show.

56
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,480
So if you have a moment, we'd love for you to contribute to the show by heading to skepticmanifosition.com

57
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,400
and sending us a voicemail or an email from our website.

58
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,840
Karen and I love hearing from those that are moved to message us.

59
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,360
It truly does fuel our passion.

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,640
You are the reason we do this show.

61
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:48,680
And knowing what you like and don't like, we're not even going to help us craft the very

62
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,800
best show we can so that we can help raise the vibration of the planet together.

63
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Okay, I've kept you from the interview long enough, so let's get to it.

64
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Thanks for listening.

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,400
Hey there, I'm Will.

66
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,120
Welcome back to the skeptic metaphysicians where we ask every question your therapist is too

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,120
licensed to touch.

68
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Look, we've had a lot of guests on this show who deal in the invisible, the unexplained

69
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,720
and I can't prove this but I've seen it with my own eyes kind of thing.

70
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,320
Today's guest though, she might be the one who actually hands us a toolkit.

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Hey.

72
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Lisa Campion has spent over 30 years teaching people, regular people, not just the ones that

73
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,560
who were born knowing things, how to develop their psychic abilities, how to protect their

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,680
energy and how to stop letting the emotional black holes in their lives quietly hollow them

75
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,680
out.

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,040
She's a raky master teacher, a psychic counselor, an author and the host of her own podcast.

77
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,200
She's also the kind of person who will say something completely wild and then back it up so

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,520
thoroughly that you forget that you were ever skeptical, which as you may have noticed

79
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
is kind of a thing.

80
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,880
She's not here to convince us of anything.

81
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,520
She's here to show us what's possible when you stop treating your intuition like a glitch

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,760
and start treating it like a feature Lisa Campion.

83
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Welcome to the show.

84
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Well, thanks so much for having me here.

85
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,200
I'm so glad to be with you both today.

86
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440
We're glad to have you and Lisa before we start.

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,840
I just want you to know.

88
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,520
If you read my energy right now, whatever it is that you're picking up is not my fault.

89
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,520
That's just Friday energy.

90
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Okay.

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,520
Just so we're clear.

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Let us in.

93
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,520
All right.

94
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,520
That's fair.

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,520
Okay.

96
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,600
So I just want to dive right in like we always do.

97
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Energy vampires.

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Just the word makes me cringe.

99
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,040
What are we talking about here?

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,360
We're talking about people who for the most part don't know they're doing it.

101
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Some do.

102
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,560
We just don't know how to get their needs met.

103
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,640
Don't know how, no one ever taught them how to sort of source their energy.

104
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,240
So and I mean, I think that until we learn how to do that, we can all be guilty of stealing

105
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,880
energy from other people.

106
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,720
You know, I think it's, it can be a process more than a particular type of person sometimes.

107
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,880
But surely you've been around people.

108
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Sounds like you have.

109
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,880
You know, you just feel tired.

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,880
You feel drained.

111
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,360
You know, they're not really contributing.

112
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,440
They're taking so that takers of the world.

113
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,760
And we can call them energy vampires, psychic vampires.

114
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,120
We can call them narcissists.

115
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,640
They have a lot of different names.

116
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,960
And they tend to be attracted to sensitive people, you know?

117
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,520
So empaths sensitive, highly sensitive people.

118
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,000
There's tends to be like a little dance going on between, you know, energy vampires and

119
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,400
empaths.

120
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,120
And it's really important if you, I think it's important for everybody to figure out who

121
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,280
those people are and get some good psychic self defense, but especially if you're sensitive

122
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,280
because you're going to be.

123
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,360
And energy vampire magnet.

124
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,600
And you need to know how to do some, you know, spiritual kung fu there.

125
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Yeah, that makes so much sense.

126
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Yeah.

127
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,840
And because I have so many people that just, you know, they're nice, but it's exhausting

128
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:53,840
to spend time with them.

129
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,400
And you're just like, when they leave, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, my only question, why, why

130
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,560
are you looking at me the whole time she was talking there?

131
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,560
I don't know.

132
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,400
And so at least what does an energy vampire look like out in the wild?

133
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Like, how can you tell?

134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400
No, why?

135
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Who would hide their acts?

136
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,560
There's a couple of different types of them.

137
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,080
The scary type is the super predatory narcissistic flavor.

138
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560
And you know, we all kind of sort of psychopathic types.

139
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,200
And we can, you know, I'm sure we've all had a hit and run with those folks at some point.

140
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:33,280
And they're pretty deliberate in choosing sort of a victim and then sucking the life out

141
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,280
of them.

142
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:39,720
Or energy, your time, your money, your credit, the gas in the car, the food in the fridge,

143
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,520
like whatever is yours, they think is theirs.

144
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,440
And they're sort of ruthless about taking and not giving.

145
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,360
And then when you sort of set boundaries and dry up the source, they just kind of ruthlessly

146
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,440
cut their ties and move on to somebody else who's going to fill that role.

147
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,920
And you know, there's been a lot of studies and studies in psychology these days and they

148
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,400
say that, you know, there's a certain percentage of the population that fall into the psychopathic

149
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,400
category.

150
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,200
You kind of put them on the, you know, narcissist continuum, which starts with like narcissistic

151
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,120
tendencies and goes all the way to like psychopath.

152
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
And you know, they're out there and we have to be careful just like there's sharks women

153
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,560
in, you know, Massachusetts Bay.

154
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,040
We have to be careful about finding that these sharks, they're pretty predatory people.

155
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,640
Yeah, that was one of those sharks were.

156
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:34,160
I just reminded you of a neighbor that we used to have a long time ago when we first kept

157
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,160
here.

158
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,160
Oh, yes.

159
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Is that not just perfect?

160
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,400
Yeah, they also happen to have a medicine.

161
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,400
They also happen to have a serial killer daughter that, you know, or a future serial killer.

162
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,400
And look that way.

163
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,400
No, no, you're right.

164
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,400
I forgot about that.

165
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,680
Yeah, I think everyone that, but it was just to us.

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,360
Yeah, it was like they, they, they let her, they put them, they just like all those things.

167
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Yeah.

168
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,600
So okay, we have identified what these creatures are like.

169
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,560
How do we defend against them?

170
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,320
It sort of depends on what kind you're dealing with because there's also the victim vampire

171
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,200
and the victim vampires are, they're not predatory, but they just sort of get by in the world

172
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,800
by leaning into their helplessness.

173
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,400
And you know, they're like, I can't do it.

174
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,400
We do it for me.

175
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,840
And a lot of times they have, they really do have things that are troublesome or difficult

176
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,960
to deal with, but they kind of cash in on that as their way to get through the world, you

177
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,160
know, more her.

178
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,760
That might have been more.

179
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Yeah.

180
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Yeah.

181
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,080
And they, they just call, you know, that person who calls and talks, talks for an hour without

182
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,360
giving you a chance to say anything and they could plane about the same thing over and

183
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240
over again and never take your advice because they're not, they don't really want to change.

184
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,760
They're a bit addicted to the drama, drama cycle.

185
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,240
And I think no matter what kind of energy vampire you're dealing with, the answer is we have

186
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,880
to set boundaries.

187
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,480
So we have to learn to say no.

188
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,680
We have to say, you know, I think is a sensitive, pathic type person.

189
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,800
We just need a lot of really nice ways to say no.

190
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Nice.

191
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,800
No, thank you.

192
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Or, you know, sometimes we have to be nice.

193
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,840
Sometimes we have to firm it up and really be like, absolutely no.

194
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,000
Deciding how much we are willing to give.

195
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,360
And then when you've hit that point, you have to, you have to pull out and say no.

196
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,360
And that's really hard.

197
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,960
It's really hard to learn how to set boundaries.

198
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,360
Most of us aren't very good at it.

199
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920
So that's what the answer is.

200
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,300
The more you're talking, the more I realize how many of these people are out there because

201
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:35,280
now I'm going, oh, that could be that one.

202
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,080
Oh, not going to, oh, and that one is going to go, oh my god, we are surrounded.

203
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,080
We are.

204
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,320
There's a lot of that going on these days.

205
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,080
So then let's flip it on the other side.

206
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:52,640
How do you know then that you are an empath versus someone who just cares too much?

207
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,160
Empaths often care too much, but empaths have like a tendency to literally absorb the energy

208
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,600
they're around.

209
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,780
So that might be the feelings, the physical pain, the thoughts, the energy of the people

210
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:05,780
around you.

211
00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:10,980
So let's say you sit on an airplane and the person next to you is suffering from a

212
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:13,600
might green or they don't feel good or they're really anxious.

213
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,440
And then 10 minutes later you're like, oh my god, I have a might green.

214
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,440
I don't feel good.

215
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,440
I'm really anxious.

216
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,560
You absorb that energy and you're feeling that as if it's your feelings, you're not just

217
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,680
noticing, right?

218
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,760
You're like, oh, that's now me.

219
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160
That's my experience in the moment.

220
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:37,640
That's like sponges, sometimes called psych expunges, empaths, absorb and experience.

221
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,920
But what other people are?

222
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,880
I think it's a gift and it's a gift that's given to healer types.

223
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,400
So it's like having like a built in MRI X-ray machine, you know, where you can feel what's

224
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,480
going on.

225
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,280
And then if you know, if you're in a position to do some help, help that person, you know

226
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,880
what to do, right?

227
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,720
But it can be, it can really feel like a curse until we learn how to manage our energy.

228
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,720
All right.

229
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,240
I think there's a, there's a medical term for those types of people, isn't it?

230
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,360
Like someone has a migraine and somebody they have a migraine.

231
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,400
It's a, that's not psychosomatic, but there's a, dang, I was really relying on you to know

232
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,400
what I'm talking about.

233
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,400
All right.

234
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,720
I'm going to drop an edit point here so I can pull this out.

235
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Okay.

236
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:27,320
Anyway, so you can be an empath and not realize it.

237
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920
Can you be an end-reve vampire and not realize it?

238
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Yeah.

239
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,920
Lots of people don't realize it.

240
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,000
They don't, you know, the predatory types, I think, do, they're kind of like con

241
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,200
artists, you know, they can be very like, consciously manipulative.

242
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,720
They're doing an over-epic.

243
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,880
But I think a lot of times energy vampires don't know.

244
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,800
We can also be like a sort of situational energy vampire, which is you're not having an

245
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,800
easy time in your life.

246
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,800
Something happens.

247
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,120
You have, you're sick, you have a diagnosis, you're going through something, you went through

248
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,240
a divorce and break up and for that moment, you don't know how to resource yourself,

249
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,920
take care of yourself and we kind of lean hard into the people around us.

250
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,920
And that's fine.

251
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,400
We all go through phases like that.

252
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,880
You know, so it's just part of human nature.

253
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,720
But I think so many people, and sometimes the worst offenders are other empaths.

254
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,600
You know, like if you let, if you have a lot of energy vampires around you and you just

255
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,840
let them drain you to the point where you, you know, you're so drained, you got nothing,

256
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,840
you might become an energy vampire.

257
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,000
So we all have to sort of watch out that we're managing our energy and not becoming

258
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
that way too.

259
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Right.

260
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,120
Now a long time ago, I wrote a book called The Celestein Prophecy.

261
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,240
And in the Celestein Prophecy, there's one of the insights was this energy exchange between

262
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,200
people and they would, all these people would sit and everyone would pay attention to one

263
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,480
person and they would be sending that person their energy and then they would, they would

264
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,480
change it up.

265
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,440
But inevitably, there's like this, this draw plants are great at that.

266
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,080
If you send them energy, they'll send it back to you, that kind of thing.

267
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:05,360
So it sounds like this, they did talk in the book about the fact that those that drain your

268
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,520
energy are those that are disconnected from that energy, the universal energy.

269
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,920
So is there something, if there is someone listening to this right now, we're watching

270
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:20,400
and something that going, oh my God, I think I might be an energy man, but is there something

271
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:27,600
that they can do to reconnect their connection with the universal energies that, so that

272
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,480
it would prevent them from stealing someone else's energy and rather be fulfilled on the

273
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,480
own?

274
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Yeah.

275
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,320
I think we need to learn how to, there's two really.

276
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,240
The universal source is we have the energy of the earth.

277
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,920
So the earth has its own energy, it's called the light of the earth and we can learn how

278
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,840
to pull that energy up from our energetic roots into our body.

279
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,360
And then we, of course, we have divine energy, source energy that we can pull down into our

280
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,520
system.

281
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,480
So we can learn how to do that.

282
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,480
I think we can learn raky.

283
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,240
It's why a lot of times I recommend that I'm asked to learn raky because it just makes

284
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,680
an easier connection to that universal life or synergy.

285
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:06,240
And then I think we have to be very committed to our self-care, you know, like what do you do

286
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,520
in your life that fills your energy tank?

287
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Maybe it's resting, sleeping, but oftentimes it's having fun, playing, doing creative things.

288
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,280
You know what things you do in your life that like you might do some work that drains you

289
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,720
or pay your taxes that drains you, but you know if you do your favorite things, it's going

290
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,200
to add to your energy.

291
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,360
So I think some of itself care and some of it's just good energy hygiene, energy management

292
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,520
practices are very important here.

293
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:41,280
So now what if kind of on the flip side of what you asked, what if you know someone who's

294
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,720
an energy vampire and you know that they don't know it, you know that they're not intentional,

295
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,920
they're kind of going through stuff, is there something you can do to help them like run?

296
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,920
Run.

297
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Like, run.

298
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,920
Run away.

299
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,920
Run away or something.

300
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,920
You know, is there something you can do?

301
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,760
I think you decide how much you're willing to give and then you stick to your boundary,

302
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,760
you know?

303
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,760
And then we, I mean, maybe you could teach them or talk to them about it if they're open

304
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,360
to having that conversation, you know, you should take better care of yourself.

305
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,800
Maybe you should, you know, do some fun things, you know?

306
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,000
But I think we, there's a big red flag that happens when we know we're overgiving and

307
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,920
that that's when we feel resentful.

308
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,840
So resentment is like a major red flag.

309
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,200
If you have a relationship situation that's going on in your life where you feel a lot

310
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,680
of resentment, that's a sign to you that you need to back, back it up, reset your boundary

311
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,000
and you're giving more than you're receiving over a long, a longer period of time.

312
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Right.

313
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,800
And I think at the end of the day, Karen, it's difficult to, like, you can't, you can't

314
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,800
make someone change, right?

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,800
You can only change yourself.

316
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,800
Yeah.

317
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,800
Yeah.

318
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,800
Raky then or something.

319
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,320
Well, I'm sure Raky would probably help.

320
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,640
And in fact, we talked about with the Sleshing Prof. C. Dulles, people would actively give

321
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,960
their energy to that, to that particular person.

322
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,880
So I read somewhere and maybe you can, you can confirm this or tell me how I'm totally

323
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,880
off the mark.

324
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,360
Or that if you're feeling drained, someone's draining your energy, then perhaps by giving it

325
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,960
to them of your free will, will help them recharge without depleting yourself.

326
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,960
Is that sounds right?

327
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,960
It's possible.

328
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,960
I mean, that's the point of Raky.

329
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,920
And I think while Raky makes this easy is that when we're doing Raky, we're not using our

330
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,160
personal energy, where you're connecting to this universal life force.

331
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,880
We're getting, you know, it's sort of like turning on the faucet and having, you know,

332
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,800
you're getting filled with that universal life force.

333
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,600
And then sending that instead of your own energy, the problem is when we send our own energy,

334
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,800
I see this happen a lot with like massage therapists and hair, you know, dressers, people

335
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,800
who have their hands on people a lot.

336
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,040
If you're an empath and you have your hands on people, you're going to give without knowing

337
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,560
you're giving your own vitality, your own life force essence.

338
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,240
And our personal vitality sort of like blood, we have a limited supply.

339
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480
And when you give it away, you have to like remake it.

340
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,440
And that's why learning Raky can be so helpful for people in those situations because you connect

341
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,360
to the energy of Raky and then you're not giving your own life force energy or you're giving

342
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,840
kind of this unlimited supply, you know, instead.

343
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,520
And it's much less likely that you'll be drained that way.

344
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Right.

345
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,520
Wow.

346
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,240
So I have never heard that it, like you said, like it's like blood.

347
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,200
I mean, I've never asked anybody, but it's just like the first time I've heard that, how

348
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,200
do you remake it?

349
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,200
The spiritual bone marrow, of course.

350
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,200
Pretty much.

351
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,200
Yeah.

352
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,200
That's a great answer.

353
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,200
And it would be like spiritual practice, meditation, prayer.

354
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,400
Prayer is also a thing you can do for other people that isn't going to drain you.

355
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:39,080
You know, like I'm a strong, I'm not a particularly religious person, but I'm a very strong believer

356
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,960
in prayer because I just think it works.

357
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,400
It just absolutely does.

358
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,400
So you can pray for that person and then you go back to those energy feeling techniques.

359
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,400
Maybe you need to sleep.

360
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,400
Maybe you need a good meal.

361
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:56,720
You need to go play and, you know, do some gardening sitting in the sun can be very recharging.

362
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,080
I'm getting a little sunlight on your skin eating really food that's full of life force energy,

363
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,080
you know?

364
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:09,200
But all the things that we do exercise, fresh air, like kind of clean, good clean living will

365
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,800
over time recharge your energy.

366
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,200
So we've talked about the setting, the boundaries and all that kind of stuff, but you teach

367
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,200
something called psychic self defense.

368
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,700
So it obviously goes way deeper than just set your boundaries.

369
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:27,560
So what are we talking about here?

370
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,880
I just like that term because I started my early life as a martial artist.

371
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,760
I was, I just, I'm pretty sure it's just because when I was a kid, I really wanted to be

372
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:35,760
a Jedi Knight.

373
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,760
I was the only way I could figure out how to do it.

374
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,000
I guess either you either a Jedi Knight or you're a Han Solo, right?

375
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
So you had to be, I would.

376
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Jedi Knight.

377
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Yeah.

378
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
I was, I was, I was fine enough for that.

379
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,360
So I studied martial arts from, from at a young age.

380
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:54,800
And so I kind of like that idea of, you know, spiritual kung fu.

381
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,440
And it's a lot of energy practices that you can learn how to do breathing techniques and

382
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:05,120
visualization techniques that we do to ground ourselves, get ourselves back in our body, clear

383
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:09,800
our energy field when we pick up energy that doesn't belong to us and add another layer

384
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,240
of protection into it.

385
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,960
That's kind of the basic, you know, there's also, there's also, there's also, you know,

386
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,720
those things you can use, you know, crystals, flower essences, things like tools that we can

387
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,200
use to kind of level up our, our level of psychic self defense.

388
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,800
And so for example, like I was in a hotel last night on, you know, for work.

389
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,480
And hotels are always hard for me because a lot of, sometimes they're haunted and like Murphy's

390
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,320
law put the psychic in the haunted hotel room.

391
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,760
I'm, you know, and I'm like, okay, I go in there and you know all the things that happen

392
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,760
in a hotel good and bad.

393
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,360
It's just a lot of life that happens in hotel rooms.

394
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,560
And to me, it's like, ew, like I walk in.

395
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,720
I'm like, whoa, just all this other people's energy in there and it's kind of gross to me.

396
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,880
So I travel with my little energy clearing kit and I'm out there like, you know, clearing

397
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,680
the energy in the room, clearing any spooks that are hanging around just so I can have a good

398
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,640
night's sleep and I consider it community service, you know, for the next people that are

399
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,640
out there.

400
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,000
What's happening is that why I don't sleep in hotels.

401
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Maybe.

402
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,480
I need to care, Lisa, I need to get, I do, yeah, I'm hoping you're going to give me your

403
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,480
kit or tell me what to get.

404
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,560
Tell me what's in the kit so I can get it.

405
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:27,680
I use some palo santo, you know, the wood that you burn, they'll bust you for smoking

406
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,600
if you try to burn sage.

407
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,240
It's just too, it smells too much like pot, you know, but palo santo, they don't, so

408
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,240
I burn palo santo.

409
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,040
I have a five twenty eight tuning life hack tip.

410
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,040
Yep.

411
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,400
Twenty eight tuning fork is just a little tuning fork, you know, five twenty eight and a hockey

412
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,240
puck and you bang it on there and that goes away.

413
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,920
Have these, you know, kind of sprays that I use that have different essential oils in

414
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,520
their sage and you can spray, but you can't burn, you know.

415
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,120
And then I, and then I just do my own like calling in the arc angels, calling in the higher

416
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:07,520
powers, you know, setting up kind of some more light asking for some, you know, divine help

417
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,520
from, from the angels and ascended masters to clear the space too.

418
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,960
But and you know, that's what we can do.

419
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,600
So a lot of times when we need psychic self defense, I want to say like 80% of the time

420
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,400
we're defending ourselves against is the energy of other people.

421
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Most of the time that's what it is.

422
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,880
Sometimes it's the places we occupy like the hotel room and sometimes it's spirits that

423
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,200
don't have our best interest at heart, like what might be in the hot, you know, hotel

424
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,360
room, you know, and you know, they're around there.

425
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:40,680
We don't always have, you know, all angels and unicorns out there in psychic world.

426
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,280
Sometimes we encounter darker energies.

427
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,280
What?

428
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,280
And oh yeah.

429
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,440
And for sure.

430
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,720
And so, you know, it's just a, to me, it's like just a fact of life because it's what I've

431
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,400
seen over and over again for my entire life.

432
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,200
And I don't freak out about it.

433
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,240
I just kind of deal with it.

434
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,800
You just clean it up, clean up on IL-5, you know.

435
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,800
That's what we do.

436
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,520
We don't, no need to get freaked out.

437
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,280
Honestly, spirits have never scared me that much.

438
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,720
Living people scare the heck out of me on a regular basis.

439
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,720
Oh yeah, that's true.

440
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,680
But, you know, I mean, spirits, you just like, where's the mop?

441
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,680
You know, it's kind of more like--

442
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,680
They can't really hurt you, right?

443
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,680
So, yeah.

444
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,680
No, they can't really hurt you.

445
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,480
They can be uncomfortable and unpleasant.

446
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,480
You kick for sure.

447
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,680
But then that brings up another point in my mind anyway.

448
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,680
You are a psychic.

449
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,680
Yes.

450
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,320
You pick up all these energies and looking at yourself.

451
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,960
Have you ever done a reading for someone a psychic reading and suddenly wish you could

452
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280
unknow what you picked up?

453
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,280
Quite frequently.

454
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Oh, no.

455
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,800
Okay, we're not sitting together.

456
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,800
[laughter]

457
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,800
Quite frequently.

458
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,040
I've done some, I've done some readings on it.

459
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Sometimes I see things that I are pretty bad trauma's people have been through and I mean,

460
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,280
I started working as a psychic when I was 19 and I quickly learned I didn't have enough

461
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,280
skills.

462
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,280
So I went back to school and I came at therapist, you know?

463
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,280
Oh wow.

464
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,840
So it's just like being, you know, when you're a therapist you just hear everybody's trauma,

465
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,840
you know?

466
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,920
And it's really, it's really sad.

467
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:13,080
It's really hard to, and it's nice to be able to help like I witnessed those things because

468
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,880
I feel like it's helpful.

469
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,880
And most of the time what I see is that, just people's trauma.

470
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,880
Do you know what I mean?

471
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:19,920
The things we've been to.

472
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,920
Yeah.

473
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,040
Maybe you've had a particularly gnarly past life that's a little tough to watch or, you

474
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:30,320
know, sometimes people have entities attachments on them that are hard, you know, it's hard

475
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,400
being a human on the planet.

476
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,640
And I think almost all of that stems from trauma.

477
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:41,840
But that's not, you know, I've been a therapist for almost 40 years now.

478
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:48,440
So it's like, it's just that stuff we go through as humans.

479
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,880
So I have a question about something that you mentioned a little bit ago and I think

480
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,000
the fact that your therapist might help with my understanding or with the answer.

481
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,480
So you talked about the power of prayer and how you can pray for someone that is a known

482
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,760
energy vampire.

483
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,800
Is there a difference because some people associate prayer with religion, like with organized

484
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,760
religions, especially Christianity and so forth?

485
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:21,840
Is there a difference between prayer and intentional meditation or setting an intent with meditation?

486
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,480
I don't think there's much difference, you know, meditation is usually like you're trying

487
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,960
to connect inward to yourself or you're connecting to spirit, you know?

488
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760
And prayer is more like care for other people.

489
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,760
Do you know what I mean?

490
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,960
You're sending your attention, you're prayer for other people.

491
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:45,720
And my understanding of this is that my current understanding and my, my paradigm on

492
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,000
this changes a lot as my experience and, you know, knowledge changes.

493
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,280
Right now what I really believe is that the, the spirit guides that look after us, the angels,

494
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,520
Archangels, ascended masters, they don't, they're not really queued into the intimate details,

495
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,360
the tiny details of what's going on down here unless we point it out.

496
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:07,080
And prayers like, oh, this person over here is really struggling.

497
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,480
Can you attend to it?

498
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,840
You know, this, it brings their attention to things that are happening on the planet that

499
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,640
need help.

500
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,800
And I think that's where prayer really works.

501
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,720
And there's been some really interesting studies on, and from NDE's near death experiences

502
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:28,960
of people who have reported, they, they, prayer, you know, that the prayer helps, that they

503
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,840
felt people's prayers for them, that the prayers helped them heal or prayers helped them, you

504
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040
know, in all different kinds of ways.

505
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:46,080
And it's so common through the NDE experiences that I feel like there's some pretty good, you

506
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,800
know, proof behind it.

507
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,280
And just I have my own, you know, my own, my experiences with it too, that it really works.

508
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,280
Yeah.

509
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,720
And at the end of the day, I think that's, really all that matters, right?

510
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:03,000
Whatever, whatever focuses your intent or whatever works for you is, is the way to, for

511
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
sure.

512
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,880
And you don't have to believe in anything, you know, I don't, I don't know if you do.

513
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,760
So you can, you certainly that religions have prayers, you can pray the rosary, you can,

514
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,600
you know, do a formal prayer where you can just have an intention like, you know, I think

515
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,320
it's good to invoke higher power.

516
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,480
You know, if that's all, you know, if you can even say that, you know, to the higher power,

517
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,960
please help with this or please a ton to this or please, you know, send healing, send

518
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,920
clarity, send insights and ground supports and whatever, you, you know, you can do to assist

519
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,920
with the situation.

520
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,920
Right.

521
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:34,920
Right.

522
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,600
Well, let's shift gears just slightly because something occurred to me when we're talking

523
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,440
about feeling energy from people and being a psychic and getting picking up on trauma

524
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,960
and things like that.

525
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,520
A lot of times, like for someone like me who's not psychic, but I do have sometimes some

526
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,680
intuition that comes in or some, some intuitive hits.

527
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:02,000
For me, it's difficult to figure out is that my intuition telling me that or am I just

528
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,440
like freaking out about something?

529
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,440
Right.

530
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,240
So how can you differentiate between intuition and anxiety?

531
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:13,880
Well, anytime you have a trigger, a charge, you feel reactive, it's not intuition.

532
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,880
So if you're emotionally, if you're in emotional turmoil about it, it's straight up your,

533
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,400
your stuff, your, you're freaking out.

534
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,640
It's, you know, your nervous system is jacked up in some way and you're getting like, you

535
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,960
know, the nervous system, you know, hormone cocktail, adrenaline, cortisol, whatever you've

536
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:37,840
got going on in there that, that real psychic hits, real intuition is usually sort of calm.

537
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,160
It has like a, a peaceful state and often we can't access it unless we're in a state of

538
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,160
calm.

539
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,680
We have to be in the alpha brainwave state, which is like a slightly relaxed, you know,

540
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,480
J dreamy, slower brainwave, then we have full access to our creativity and our intuition

541
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,160
and our psychic ability.

542
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,200
So the short answer is if you feel jacked up about it, it's not intuition.

543
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,200
All right.

544
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,200
Okay.

545
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,200
So then what, what about women's intuition?

546
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,160
I mean, someone, I heard a lot about women who, they get an intuitive hit.

547
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,440
No, I, I better not walk down that alley or something like that because they get that

548
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,440
women's intuition.

549
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,440
Yeah.

550
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,360
And to me, they would be anxious to walk down that alley.

551
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:23,480
So we need to take a quick pause, but we'll be right back right into these messages.

552
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,040
And now back to the show.

553
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,040
I bet that you just skipped over those commercials, didn't you?

554
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,760
And I bet that you were a little annoyed that you had to do that in the first place.

555
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,480
You're here for the show after all, not for the ads.

556
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,640
And honestly, so are we.

557
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,440
So Karen and I created the skeptic manifestations to explore spiritual weakening and expanding

558
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,360
consciousness from a grounded, pragmatic point of view.

559
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,720
No dogma, no guru, energy, just open-minded curiosity and thoughtful conversations that

560
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,600
help people realize they're not crazy for asking the big questions.

561
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,920
But here's a reality.

562
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,120
Producing this show isn't free.

563
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:07,360
Editing, recording platforms, hosting, marketing, community support, all of it adds up.

564
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,080
We invest literally hundreds of dollars every single month because we believe these conversations

565
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,400
matter.

566
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,680
And here's what we'd really love to do.

567
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,240
We'd love to get rid of those generic commercials altogether.

568
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,520
So we're offering two simple ways to make that happen.

569
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,520
Option one, if you're a business, a brand, or an organizational line with our values,

570
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,000
you can sponsor the show.

571
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,320
That means your message reaches an engaged, curious, spiritually open audience in a way that

572
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,400
feels authentic and aligned, not intrusive or salzzy.

573
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,440
Or option two, if you're a listener who simply wants to support what we're building, you

574
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,080
can donate or become a member through our Buy Me a Coffee page.

575
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:52,920
Even a small monthly contribution helps offset production costs and moves us closer to an

576
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440
ad-free experience for everyone.

577
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,760
Either way, your support gives us something incredibly valuable, freedom.

578
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,200
Freedom to keep these conversations independent, freedom to go deeper, freedom to create

579
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,840
a new world without filling your ears with commercials you don't care about.

580
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,560
If that sounds good to you, we'll head over to skepticmanivision.com and choose the option

581
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,280
that feels right.

582
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,520
And truly, thank you for being here.

583
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,280
Now let's get on with the show.

584
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,000
I have this story about this mom that I worked with and she was a super, deeper, anxious

585
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
mother.

586
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,360
She had six kids and they were kind of all wild and she was an anxious mother.

587
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,000
She told me that one night in the middle of the night, she woke up out of a dead sleep

588
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,080
like two o'clock in the morning in the middle of a snowstorm, got in her car and started

589
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,920
driving her out because she knew one of her kids was in trouble.

590
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,040
She didn't feel a thing.

591
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,720
She said she was calm as could be.

592
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,560
And to one two minutes into it, she found one of her kids pulled over with a broken down

593
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,160
car, right?

594
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,840
And that she said completely calm.

595
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,320
It was just an inner knowing.

596
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:59,000
It was just a strong inner knowing without all that kind of anxiety, static that goes along

597
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,800
with it, right?

598
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,720
And I think you feel the same way about the dark alley, honestly.

599
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,520
You just look down the dark alley and you're like, "Mom, I'm not going down there."

600
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,640
It's different from like, "Ahh, I'm not going down there."

601
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,160
You know, like that.

602
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,160
It's a different feeling.

603
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,800
So it's like before the anxiety hits, you're already like, "Yeah, I'm not going on that

604
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:17,800
now."

605
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
I was like, "I'm not going on that alley."

606
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,840
It's very different.

607
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,440
And then I think for women, we kind of get the double whammy because you're like, "I'm

608
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,000
not getting them to elevate it with the guy."

609
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200
But then you have that whole like, "Well, that's not very polite."

610
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,280
So then the anxiety starts to pop in like, "Should I do something that's against how I feel?"

611
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,520
And then it's like a whole hot mess.

612
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,520
So, boring.

613
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,520
So a whole hot mess.

614
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,080
And that is the problem and how we end up blocking our intuition because oftentimes our

615
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,160
intuition is in direct conflict with what your mind tells you is the thing you should

616
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,160
do.

617
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,160
You know?

618
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,160
You should like that person.

619
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,160
What's wrong with you?

620
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,160
Everybody else likes that person.

621
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,200
And you know, your intuition is like, "No, your intuition is screaming at you that

622
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,760
that's not a good person."

623
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,760
You know?

624
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,160
So a lot of times we end up overriding our intuition because we're trying it.

625
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,760
But people like, we're trying to be nice.

626
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:08,120
So we're trying to fit the expectations that are on us and we know what happens when we

627
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,120
do that.

628
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,120
Right.

629
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,120
Yes.

630
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,120
We know what happens.

631
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,120
We're in our intuition almost always, right?

632
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,120
Right.

633
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,120
So thank you for the permission to be a jerk.

634
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Yes.

635
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,120
Nice about it.

636
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,360
Remember I said, we have to find lots of nice ways to say them.

637
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,360
Oh, dang it.

638
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,360
Okay, fine.

639
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,320
So is intuition like the stepping stone into psychic abilities?

640
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,880
Is that the same thing that we're talking about which is not developed?

641
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,800
I think it's kind of, it's separated in an interesting way.

642
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,280
The intuition is our inner knowing.

643
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,000
It's our higher self.

644
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,280
So it's your own self-knowing and actually really love the old school term ESP, you know,

645
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,040
extra sensory perception.

646
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:54,560
And I think intuition is people who are intuitive have the ability to process more sensory data

647
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,440
than other people, you know?

648
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,720
They say we process consciously about 10 to 20% of the sensory data that's around us in

649
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,960
any given time.

650
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,960
And I think intuitive process more than that.

651
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:11,200
So we're getting information about it's usually through the body, how our body feels,

652
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,680
our gut knowing and our feelings.

653
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,240
And when those things come together, that's a strong intuitive hit.

654
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,720
Like for example, when you meet somebody for the first time and you shake your, their

655
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,800
hand, everybody, every human on the planet gets an intuitive hit about that person.

656
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,840
And they say it takes nine seconds to form an opinion when you've first meet somebody, especially

657
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,640
if you can touch them.

658
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,720
And that's just straight up intuitive response.

659
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,920
And I feel like it's just part of the evolutionary package we got as humans that helped us survive

660
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,120
until this point, you know?

661
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,600
And psychic's a little different though.

662
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,440
Psychic is when we get information from outside of our self.

663
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,480
You know, that's dead uncle Fred.

664
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,480
That's the angel.

665
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:57,560
You know, the, you know, saints that are with you or whoever is from outside of who we

666
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,560
are.

667
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,640
And it takes a little more skill.

668
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,160
So I think psychics like inability, like musical ability, athletic ability, and everybody

669
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,200
has some and you have to work it, you know?

670
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Professional psychics are just like professional athletes and professional musicians.

671
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,080
We know those people worked to get there.

672
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,960
And this is the same thing with psychics.

673
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,280
So what can someone do to?

674
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,280
Okay.

675
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,440
I know some of the audience hates it when I make it about me, but I make it about me for a second.

676
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,600
I would love to develop my intuition.

677
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,320
I would love to be able to list to it more.

678
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:39,480
I read somewhere once, once a couple days ago that we have primary senses, right?

679
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,480
Our primary sense is probably our eyes every time we see that's what that's our biggest

680
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:50,080
senses seeing. If for some reason we are struck blind, maybe our primary sense would then be

681
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,800
hearing because we have to find a way around life.

682
00:34:53,800 --> 00:35:00,760
But then if suddenly we became deaf as well, then we might have to rely on intuition or

683
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,400
vibrations and things like that.

684
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,520
So we all have it to your point.

685
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:14,800
But how can we deepen that intuition, that sense to maybe become more of a primary sense

686
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,680
than of it's never around kind of sense?

687
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:19,680
Yeah.

688
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,360
I think the simple answer to that is you have to pay attention.

689
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,520
And what I recommend that you do is start a journal, call it your psychic journal and

690
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,840
begin to write down every dream that you remember, every psychic experience you have, every

691
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:39,920
time you look at the clock and it says 11/11 every time you have that meeting, first meeting

692
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,240
somebody experience, write it down because it's really ephemeral.

693
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,960
And you could have a pretty profound experience.

694
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,320
And if you don't write it down like an hour later, you forget about it.

695
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,320
It's sort of like dreams.

696
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,320
For sure.

697
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,320
For sure.

698
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,320
Yeah, no for sure.

699
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,320
So if you do this, first of all, you're going to be amazed to how psychic you already are,

700
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,320
I promise.

701
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,520
And second of all, it sort of gives us that attention that like we're putting some time into

702
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,320
doing it, you know?

703
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:10,240
I think also having some tools, I think Oracle cards, tarot cards, things like that can

704
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:15,320
be really a great additive tool to this, pull an angel card every day and write that down

705
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,840
in your journal too.

706
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,880
And then we have to, the last thing in, it's almost the most important here is we have

707
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:28,280
to slow down and quiet down because we live in such a busy, busy, noisy world.

708
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,600
And our intuition comes in in quiet moments.

709
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,120
So you need 20 minutes a day where you're not listening to a podcast, you know, of course

710
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,640
unless you're listening to this one.

711
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,640
No, no, no, no, no, thank you Lisa.

712
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:41,640
This is very important.

713
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,640
This is a very important point.

714
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:43,640
Yeah, you have to be quiet.

715
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,120
Now just listen to this all the time, all the time.

716
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,680
24/7, it's going to fix all your problems.

717
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,680
That's right, it does.

718
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:51,680
It's fixed mine.

719
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,680
I know that for sure.

720
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,440
So that quietness, you know, if you sit quietly and we can meditate, you can, you can have

721
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,000
your journal with you.

722
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,760
We have to have some quiet space, literally like no noise in your head for our intuition

723
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:06,760
to come in.

724
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,360
And then we go into like the brain shift mode, that alpha state mode.

725
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,160
So here's a really great exercise you can try.

726
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,320
Write down a question in your journal.

727
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,400
Then do something that puts you into an alpha brainwave state.

728
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,400
Take a shower.

729
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,400
Wash the dishes.

730
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:26,000
No the lawn, walk the dog, drive a familiar root, quiet, no sound, no noise is going on.

731
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,720
And then wait and see what arises inside of you.

732
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:31,520
Most people get their best psychic hits in the shower.

733
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,800
I'm telling you, that's a really good place to get this.

734
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,360
And because your mind relaxes, downships into the alpha brainwave, then you're going to pay

735
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,240
attention to how you feel, what you see, sense, no, we're going to open up to all of our

736
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:48,680
psychic senses and you'll have an aha moment like, oh, that's the answer to that question,

737
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,360
right?

738
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,840
You get out, right down the answer to your question and that's a really beautiful psychic experience.

739
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,840
Yeah, it's just so hard.

740
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,680
Like to walk the dog without a podcast of your ear or it's not though.

741
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,920
It's so hard, it's so hard.

742
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,400
You know, I read an interesting article or maybe we're listening to something, I don't

743
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,240
know if you were there or not, but it was talking about the kids today, I guess, what

744
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:14,240
generation alpha and also Gen Z.

745
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:18,640
We'll be the first ones that don't know what it's like to be bored.

746
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,640
I know.

747
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,600
And how bad that is for them.

748
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,400
Yeah, it's bad for their attention span.

749
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,880
It's bad for their intelligence and emotional psyche, like all of that stuff.

750
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:29,880
Yeah.

751
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,880
I know.

752
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,880
We need to have someone quite time and filter time.

753
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,560
Edit is my meditation is so good.

754
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,720
And I always start for people to meditate.

755
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:38,720
You can meditate.

756
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:39,720
That's great.

757
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,960
But maybe you can turn the podcast off for the 20 minutes.

758
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,760
It takes you to wash the dishes.

759
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,920
And when your hands are busy, that's when I actually listen to the podcast the most.

760
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:47,920
No one can't do that.

761
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,400
I'll give you a more stuff for you.

762
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,400
Oh, okay.

763
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,400
You can sweet.

764
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:58,360
So find that somewhere 20 minutes where you can be without noise in your head and see

765
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,360
what arises inside of you.

766
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,480
But if you're already meditating, does that count or no?

767
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,600
Yeah, it's quite meditation.

768
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,280
If it's a guiding meditation, not so much.

769
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,640
But if it's a quiet meditation, yeah, counts.

770
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,920
See for me, if my quiet minute, when I do this silence, my notations, my, my, I, they're

771
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,600
the worst type of meditation because my brain just goes like floating around everywhere.

772
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,240
And I got to focus again on my breath.

773
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:21,240
Then what will they do?

774
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:22,240
They're going to wake out.

775
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:23,240
I don't know.

776
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:24,240
As many as you.

777
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,680
You might try moving meditation may be easier for you.

778
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:33,200
So moving your body, walking meditation, a mantra-based meditation, chanting meditation,

779
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,800
where people with super busy minds, their mind needs something to focus on.

780
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,640
And mantras or, you know, that kind of thing is like giving your mind a rubik's cube and

781
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:47,800
making it sit down in the corner, you know, or body-based meditations can sometimes work

782
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,480
really well in that case.

783
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,880
Body-based meaning like feel your body.

784
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,880
Yoga, Tai Chi, walking.

785
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,920
See, I used to do Tai Chi when I was younger and I loved it and I really would love to do

786
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,920
it again.

787
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,920
We just know there's no Tai Chi.

788
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,000
If anyone's listening to this in the Hampton Nose area, if you're a Tai Chi teacher, let

789
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,400
me know, dang it.

790
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,560
And I'm not talking about the old people Tai Chi were to do the same movement 50 times

791
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,560
really slow.

792
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,560
I want the actual, it's more like, I guess I'm more like a Gung, right?

793
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,120
Does, if you listen to music, does that count?

794
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,640
Like if it's just like, I don't know, what is that?

795
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:25,280
It's really floaty, you know, really floaty like ambient music, like lo-fi, lo-fi works great.

796
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,040
If you're listening to like, there's no words.

797
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,600
If you're listening to like heavy metal death, you know, death, thrush, maybe not so much,

798
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,600
but...

799
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,840
Damn, I feel so called out, geez.

800
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:41,280
You're the head banger meditator.

801
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,360
I wonder why my neck is hurting every time I finish every time I look.

802
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,760
So to Karen's point, so that counts as the 20 minutes of silence, the playing that lo-fi

803
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,000
music?

804
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,000
I think so.

805
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,280
Okay, we try to find the corners here.

806
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,280
So...

807
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,680
Yeah, you got to find something that works for you.

808
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:58,680
I'm off of that.

809
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,360
Like you have to find something that, you know, you don't hate that isn't torturous for

810
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,080
you, that is actually brings you into state of relaxation.

811
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,040
It feels really good to be in an alpha brain wave state, you know, in that sort of light,

812
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:15,600
daydreamy sort of semi-trans state and where we have the most access to both our creativity

813
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,360
and our intuition.

814
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:25,280
And so I don't think this is a nice to have, intuition, being touch with your intuition.

815
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:31,280
It's probably something you definitely want to try to develop pretty, pretty strongly.

816
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,000
I mean, it's pretty important to have that, right?

817
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,440
What happens if someone doesn't?

818
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,040
It's quite useful, you know, and it's useful for two reasons.

819
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:45,640
One of them is that it's designed to help you navigate through your own life in an easier

820
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:46,640
way.

821
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,640
So I believe intuition connects us to our higher self, to our soul self, your higher self's

822
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,080
way of communicating with you is through your intuition.

823
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:00,200
So if you want to live a more soulful life, it's a really good way to get there.

824
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,360
And you know, it's really hard, it's hard to be human on the planet right now.

825
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,080
We're living through some really strange times.

826
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:13,080
And you know, I think the weirder and trickier the world gets, the more we can rely on our

827
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,080
intuition to help us.

828
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,920
I saw this a lot happen in the pandemic when people just got closer to their, we had this

829
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,160
big pattern interrupt, everyone sort of stopped what they were doing, got off the hamster

830
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,160
wheel and like, what do I really want to do?

831
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,600
And their intuition told them to move to Vermont and become a goat farmer.

832
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:31,600
How did you know?

833
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,000
I didn't do it, but how did you know?

834
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,480
That seems like that's what everybody did, but I don't know.

835
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,320
That or sort of podcasts, one or the other.

836
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,320
I started podcasts.

837
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,440
Yeah, do all the things right?

838
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,240
Another book or, you know, do you do all the things that where that our soul is calling

839
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:48,240
us to do you?

840
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:50,040
That's coming directly from your intuition.

841
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,040
So it's quite useful.

842
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,920
And I think it's for helping you navigate through your own life and also to be of service

843
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,080
to others.

844
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,720
So our intuition will often, you know, send you to the coffee shop to be right at the

845
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:04,160
place at the right time to talk to that person who really needs to hear what you say and then

846
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:09,080
you open your mouth and the angel says something through you to the person not needed to hear

847
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,560
it, you know?

848
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,240
So I think it's a twofold thing to navigate your own life in a more soulful way and be

849
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:16,960
of more service to humanity.

850
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:17,960
I love that.

851
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,560
I just wish I knew how, but I'll figure it out.

852
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,000
I think your intuition is a lot stronger than you realize.

853
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,160
I think you just kind of write it off.

854
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,560
You never go down that dark alley.

855
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,440
You know, I have a feeling you're going to say that.

856
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,440
Probably it's true.

857
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,040
And it would be like a sense of knowing, you know, like you don't know why you know you

858
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,040
just know, right?

859
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,880
Or a feeling, you have a good bad feeling about that?

860
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:39,880
Yeah, I'm sure.

861
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,200
I'm for a little voice in your head.

862
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,560
One of the little voices in your head isn't you?

863
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,360
It's like the voice of your intuition or your spirit, guys.

864
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:48,960
My entire career is built in that voice.

865
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,640
Like I just, I, data who needs data.

866
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,640
I'm just going with my gut.

867
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:53,640
It's worth that so far.

868
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:54,640
Knock on woods.

869
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:55,640
Right.

870
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,640
That's it.

871
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,480
That's what it is.

872
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,320
Well, you've built an entire army of people like this, right?

873
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,080
You talk, you call it the, the army of healers.

874
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,040
What does the world look like if that army actually were to show up?

875
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:14,240
You know, I think it'd be a place full of sort of empathic kind people who are following

876
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:17,920
their own, you know, committed to having their living their life purpose, right?

877
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,560
So a whole army of people is nice.

878
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:21,560
Yeah.

879
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,560
They'd all be listening to this podcast first.

880
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:24,560
Yes.

881
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:25,560
I'll pay you later.

882
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,560
Thank you.

883
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,520
I just trained hundreds of, that maybe thousands of people now and how, how to do rakey and

884
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,440
I, and other energy healing modalities.

885
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:39,400
And I love working with people, psychics healers and empaths who are wanting to activate their

886
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,400
gifts.

887
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,120
You know, so we do so many things these days.

888
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,080
It's sort of pop our psychic open.

889
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,680
I always say yoga, rakey and meditation are the three gateways to into the spiritual world.

890
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:50,680
So you do something.

891
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,160
You have a spiritual awakening.

892
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,400
People say, I'm on a journey.

893
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,540
I started my journey three years ago, you know?

894
00:44:56,540 --> 00:45:00,980
And with that comes this increase in intuition and psychic.

895
00:45:00,980 --> 00:45:02,420
Maybe you do a little plant medicine.

896
00:45:02,420 --> 00:45:05,500
Maybe you have, you know, somebody near close to you passes away.

897
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:08,540
There's all these things open us to this larger world.

898
00:45:08,540 --> 00:45:10,340
And a lot of times you need help.

899
00:45:10,340 --> 00:45:13,340
And I didn't get help when I was going through my awakening.

900
00:45:13,340 --> 00:45:14,340
It was the 60s.

901
00:45:14,340 --> 00:45:15,340
I was a kid.

902
00:45:15,340 --> 00:45:16,980
There was nothing.

903
00:45:16,980 --> 00:45:20,860
Zero information about this and it was quite torturous actually.

904
00:45:20,860 --> 00:45:24,060
So any day I can help other people go through that.

905
00:45:24,060 --> 00:45:27,740
And in easier and more graceful way than I did is really a good day for me.

906
00:45:27,740 --> 00:45:29,220
There's no way you go up in the 60s.

907
00:45:29,220 --> 00:45:31,220
You look way way too young.

908
00:45:31,220 --> 00:45:32,220
1964.

909
00:45:32,220 --> 00:45:33,220
What?

910
00:45:33,220 --> 00:45:34,220
I just had to catch it.

911
00:45:34,220 --> 00:45:35,220
I'm like, no way.

912
00:45:35,220 --> 00:45:36,220
Holy smokes.

913
00:45:36,220 --> 00:45:37,220
You look great.

914
00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:40,740
Whatever it is you doing, meditation, rakey, whatever it is, I'm doing it.

915
00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:42,940
I know too much.

916
00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:44,020
So what is it?

917
00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:45,020
What is that you're working on now?

918
00:45:45,020 --> 00:45:48,580
You want to make sure we promote to make sure that people know that you can help them

919
00:45:48,580 --> 00:45:49,580
with.

920
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:52,860
I think, you know, we talked a lot about empaths and energy vampires.

921
00:45:52,860 --> 00:45:57,820
We come to my website, I have a really beautiful free course called energy management for empaths.

922
00:45:57,820 --> 00:45:58,820
Oh, there you go.

923
00:45:58,820 --> 00:46:03,720
And it will assist in five videos that will help you learn how to do all the things we

924
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:08,260
talked about, how to have really good energy hygiene, how to have boundaries, how to,

925
00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:12,260
those psychies self defense techniques are all in this free class you can get on my website.

926
00:46:12,260 --> 00:46:13,260
Awesome.

927
00:46:13,260 --> 00:46:15,060
I get a little belt when they're done.

928
00:46:15,060 --> 00:46:16,060
A little belt.

929
00:46:16,060 --> 00:46:17,060
A little black belt.

930
00:46:17,060 --> 00:46:18,060
For sure.

931
00:46:18,060 --> 00:46:23,620
I want to emphasize the magic word there, for real.

932
00:46:23,620 --> 00:46:27,900
So yeah, I'm going to hit it for sure because, you know, free is good.

933
00:46:27,900 --> 00:46:29,140
