On today's episode of the podcast,

0:02

I am sharing a whole lot

0:04

of stuff that I have been

0:06

going through from the eclipse

0:08

season, I guess. I'm calling

0:10

this eclipse season spiritual detox,

0:13

and I opened this episode

0:15

in a very unexpected

0:18

way. Very unexpected. It

0:20

was such a surprise for me and

0:22

actually just the most divine gift I

0:24

could have been given. I call us

0:27

all to take a breath. to close

0:29

our eyes and take a breath. And

0:31

what happens next, you'll have to keep

0:33

listening to hear, but it brought me

0:36

to tears. It truly did. And

0:38

then I go on to

0:40

talk about my relationship now

0:42

with Instagram, a huge, huge

0:44

thing that cleared for me,

0:46

that now makes that app

0:48

a really beautiful space to

0:50

be. And then I close

0:52

off the episode talking about

0:54

my health, cycle sinking, the

0:56

things that I have done

0:58

for my body as Puja,

1:00

a spiritual offering, an offering

1:03

of devotion. Everything really

1:05

that I have been moving

1:07

through for the past 50-some

1:09

days from Pilates to what

1:11

I eat. Yeah, I share

1:13

all of it for you. So, let's

1:15

jump in. Welcome to

1:17

the aligned podcast with

1:19

Ashley Hamelainen. Love is

1:21

the thread that weaves

1:23

us together and here.

1:26

That is what we

1:28

are guiding you toward.

1:30

Love. Home. one-ness through

1:32

channeled wisdom from the

1:34

Akashik records quantum energetics

1:36

my own stories and

1:38

lived experiences along with

1:40

ancient yogic science which

1:42

comes from my husband

1:44

Yuzo who joins me

1:46

on the show from time to

1:48

time we celebrate all colors and

1:50

seasons of this beautiful journey called

1:53

life with all of my heart.

1:55

Thank you so much for being

1:57

here. Hello,

2:00

my love, my brother, my

2:03

sister, brother. Welcoming the men

2:05

first. Hello, my brothers. I'm

2:07

not even sure how many

2:09

there are of you listening

2:11

to this podcast, but I

2:14

definitely know there are some

2:16

quiet listeners. Sometimes I get

2:18

emails from you. And you

2:20

are so seen and you

2:22

are so appreciated that... Uber

2:24

just welcomed first, welcome

2:27

my brothers, welcome my

2:29

sisters, welcome family to

2:32

this episode where we're

2:34

going to do a

2:36

deep dive into post-eclips

2:38

energy. This eclipse season,

2:40

the one that we just

2:43

moved through, it closed with

2:45

this recent full moon in

2:47

Libra, felt like... a deep cleaning

2:49

spiritual detox. And that is

2:52

how eclipse seasons always are,

2:54

but this one, I can't

2:57

even believe, like looking back

2:59

to the beginning of mercury

3:01

retrograde, Venus retrograde,

3:03

and then this eclipse

3:06

season, it's just incredible, the

3:08

transformations that have happened and...

3:10

how fast the energy is

3:12

just shifting things and changing

3:14

things. So I'm going to

3:16

share some of my experiences

3:18

with you in a deeper

3:20

way because, well, this all

3:23

comes back to Instagram as

3:25

well. I was on Instagram

3:27

this past week sharing a

3:29

little bit about my health

3:31

journey and I got a

3:33

lot of messages from women

3:35

who are moving through very

3:37

similar experiences, some women who

3:40

have the exact... opposite

3:42

diagnosis essentially, but the

3:44

exact same symptoms. And

3:46

I have really just

3:48

found quite a few things that

3:51

are really working for me right

3:53

now. And so I'm going to

3:55

go into that a bit deeper

3:58

as well today. But... Let's

4:00

just open this episode

4:02

with a couple of

4:04

deep breaths because I

4:07

know that I need that

4:09

right now. And I'm closing

4:11

my eyes and I'm just,

4:13

it's like I can see

4:15

all of you through my third

4:18

eye and I can see

4:20

us all sitting in a

4:22

huge circle. A huge circle,

4:24

all of us. And in

4:26

the center of this circle

4:29

there. There is this

4:31

like pile of offerings and

4:33

we have all brought something

4:35

beautiful something sacred as an

4:37

offering to this space to

4:40

this community to this love

4:42

To being here together because

4:45

this show yes, it's called

4:47

the aligned podcast with Ashley

4:49

Hamelin and but this is

4:51

all of ours if this

4:53

is a show that you

4:55

listen to regularly or just

4:57

sometimes. It doesn't matter. This

4:59

is all of ours. And

5:01

so we're sitting in this

5:04

circle together and we've

5:06

all brought something that

5:08

is meaningful, something

5:10

that isn't offering. And we

5:12

all put it in the center

5:15

of this circle. And then

5:17

around that are flowers,

5:19

almost like a mandala.

5:22

Flowers, there's incense. And

5:25

then I can also see, there's

5:27

like an opening, and I

5:30

can see the ocean far

5:32

away. And actually, I'm

5:34

gonna get tears in my

5:37

eyes, because when I close

5:39

my eyes and see this,

5:41

it's our retreat space. I

5:43

just saw it's our retreat

5:46

space. It's what you so

5:48

designed back in 2022 that

5:50

we thought was going to

5:53

be in Hawaii. but it's actually

5:55

going to be on Salt Spring

5:57

Island British Columbia. I have...

6:00

told you where we're moving

6:02

because there was this little

6:04

fear inside that what if

6:06

it doesn't happen? What if it

6:08

doesn't happen? What if I have

6:10

been talking about this now for

6:13

so long that our home is

6:15

coming, our home is coming? But

6:17

what if it doesn't happen again?

6:20

Like I've talked about Hawaii and

6:22

then that never happened, we came

6:25

here. And what if it never

6:27

happens? And what if I just

6:29

talk about something and talk about

6:32

something and then it never

6:34

happens? Well, on this full moon

6:36

in Libra, I paid for Hanu's

6:38

school, the registration, and

6:40

the first half of her

6:43

September tuition, and her school is

6:45

on Salt Spring Island. And then

6:47

I went into the Akashik

6:49

Records, and I heard,

6:51

you're moving. There's a

6:53

lot of movement in

6:55

August. Hanu starts school

6:58

in September. Your house

7:00

will need renovations. There

7:02

would be a little bit

7:04

of time in between where

7:07

there's some work that

7:09

is done. It's all taken care

7:11

of. And then I look and

7:13

I'm like, it's April. And

7:16

it's the middle of the

7:18

month. So that means May,

7:20

June, July, August. It's

7:22

four and a half

7:24

months, till August,

7:27

and that alone

7:29

brings me to a

7:31

place of excitement,

7:34

but also, it's not

7:37

necessarily overwhelmed,

7:40

but it's a lot

7:42

of emotion. I've now

7:45

opened my eyes, and

7:47

I'm looking out to

7:49

the ocean. and our

7:51

absolutely beautiful view and

7:54

the mountains, and just

7:56

this space that has

7:58

held us. heel

8:01

dust and where

8:03

our son was

8:05

born, I'm just

8:08

crying. And there's,

8:10

it's not that

8:12

I'm attached to this

8:15

house, it's just

8:17

this moment of

8:20

such rapid transformation

8:24

that I can

8:26

feel happening. And

8:32

the other night as the

8:34

energy was moving through

8:36

me, it was energy

8:38

that was the same, I'm

8:40

going to call it

8:43

voltage, as when I

8:45

first received guided, which

8:47

was when we were living

8:50

in Los Angeles in

8:52

2023, February 5th, to

8:55

be exact. I

8:58

have not received something that powerful

9:00

since I could like I

9:02

can't I can't believe I

9:04

With the with the body

9:06

can hold what the nervous

9:08

system can hold sometimes is

9:10

just incredible and the other

9:12

night I was receiving energy

9:14

at the same voltage as that

9:17

and the difference is that

9:19

it was at midnight and loomy

9:21

woke up and I had to

9:23

hold him and bounce him and

9:26

bounce him And I wanted

9:28

to shake and I wanted

9:30

to write things down because

9:32

I was being given so

9:34

much guidance and just seeing

9:36

so much. And I couldn't,

9:38

I had to be so

9:40

calm and breathing and holding

9:43

Lumie on the ball. And

9:45

then I just started crying and

9:47

I said to you, so I

9:49

feel like my nervous system

9:52

might actually like... What

9:54

is it called like it might

9:56

actually burn out like you know

9:58

in spark plugs or when you

10:01

plug too many things into the wall

10:03

and you like blow a fuse, I'm

10:05

like, I think my nervous system might

10:07

blow a fuse. And I was just

10:10

crying. And the next day

10:12

is when I went into

10:14

the Akashik Records for reading

10:16

with Larda, actually, and she

10:18

told me. You are training right

10:21

now. There's a reason you're doing

10:23

Pilates every single day. It's because

10:25

you're learning how to be stronger

10:28

in your physical body, because you

10:30

are going to need that strength

10:32

to hold everything that is

10:35

coming. And we're going to look at

10:37

that today too, because as I heard

10:39

that, I also asked myself, well, who

10:41

the one is holding it? You know,

10:43

this is all God. I actually

10:45

don't need to hold anything. You

10:47

don't need to hold anything. We

10:50

don't need to hold anything. I

10:52

am training my body, yes, because

10:54

I want to be physically stronger.

10:56

I can now pick up the vitamin

10:58

mix, the base of the vitamin

11:00

mix with one hand and hold

11:02

Lumie in the other hand and

11:04

carry it from the cupboard to

11:06

the counter. And it's no big

11:08

deal. And before holding Lumie, he's

11:10

almost 30 pounds. and holding

11:12

the base of the vitamins, taking

11:15

it out of the cupboard and

11:17

walking and putting it on the

11:19

counter to make a smoothie. My

11:21

hand would be like shaking, my

11:23

arm would be shaking and I'd

11:26

be like, oh my gosh, this

11:28

is so heavy. Now it's fine.

11:30

It's fine. It's amazing what at

11:32

this point today, 53 days of

11:34

strength training can do. Like it

11:37

truly is amazing. And that's

11:39

a whole thing we're going to get

11:41

into. We're going to start with just,

11:43

I did not expect to see our

11:46

retreat center, our move to Salt

11:48

Spring Island. I will tell you

11:50

now, that is where I have

11:52

paid for Hunu to go to school.

11:54

All arrows are pointing that way,

11:56

that that's where our family home

11:58

is, that that's where this retreat

12:01

center when it is time will

12:03

open I don't know when that

12:05

will be but I know that

12:07

first in in looking at linear

12:09

we need to land like we

12:12

need to set up a home

12:14

and then I want to understand

12:16

the land and like garden and

12:19

and maybe bring in some chickens

12:21

and just just land, you know,

12:23

and get honey in her school

12:26

and find something for Lumie because

12:28

he really wants friends and he

12:30

wants to play with everyone at

12:32

the playground and get guided going

12:35

and like really not, it's not

12:37

that it's not going, it's going,

12:39

it's going, but there are so

12:41

many things that I'm like, it's

12:43

all coming, like it's all coming,

12:45

and the retreat center will come.

12:48

In Jod Time, just like

12:50

everything comes in Jod

12:52

Time, we receive what we

12:54

can handle. We receive what

12:57

we can handle. We never

12:59

receive what we can't handle.

13:01

And so even right now,

13:04

as I'm feeling like, wow,

13:06

we don't have a dollar in

13:08

savings, and somehow we're going

13:10

to be buying a home

13:13

and moving in a couple

13:15

of months. Yes, I

13:17

believe this. completely believe

13:20

this because I've experienced

13:22

these types of quantum movements

13:24

before. We can call them

13:26

quantum leaps but all it

13:29

is is smoothing energy kinks

13:31

in the field and it's

13:33

all already written and planned

13:36

but these things happen

13:38

in the perfect order where

13:40

we can handle them. And so

13:42

we're moving to Salt Spring

13:45

Island British Columbia.

13:47

It's a beautiful

13:49

little golf island.

13:51

Between the mainland

13:53

and Vancouver Island, we have

13:55

not been there. This is

13:58

fine for me. Ben

14:00

actually asked me, do you want

14:02

to go there? Like before we

14:04

all commit, do you want to

14:06

go there? And I said, no. Because

14:09

it's so far beyond right now what

14:11

I want truly and what

14:13

you so wants. I want what

14:15

is in the highest alignment for

14:18

my spiritual growth. That's

14:20

what I want. And so there's

14:22

no space then to go somewhere

14:24

and be like, I like this

14:27

or I don't like this. I

14:29

want what's in the highest alignment

14:31

for my spiritual growth. And

14:34

I trust this is it. And

14:36

also, I'm told that Salt

14:38

Spring Island is built on

14:41

Rosecourt's Crystal, Rachel

14:43

Saunders, who was on our

14:45

podcast a couple of years ago,

14:47

2023. I think both her and

14:50

her mother Buffy have been on

14:52

this podcast. I love them both

14:55

so dearly. She told me

14:57

yesterday Salt Spring Island

14:59

is built on Rose

15:01

Quartz Crystal. So what a

15:04

beautiful place to both set

15:06

up our family home, have

15:08

Hanu's magical school, and have

15:10

our a line within retreat

15:12

center, which I can see when I

15:15

close my eyes and see it. I

15:17

can see it as like half

15:19

of half ashram kind of like

15:21

where you can stay and live

15:23

there. and work in service and

15:25

support, and then have retreat space

15:27

where you come and you go,

15:29

I don't know, and I have

15:32

no idea when this is going

15:34

to happen, but I felt shaky

15:36

starting this podcast. I felt very

15:38

Scorpio, the moons in Scorpio right

15:40

now, and I have just felt

15:42

such Scorpio energy and just so

15:44

watery and so emotional. And so

15:46

I thought, okay, we'll start and

15:48

take some deep breaths and what

15:50

do I see? I see our

15:53

retreat space, so hallelujah. For that

15:55

beautiful vision, it gave

15:57

me roots and wings.

15:59

to create this

16:01

episode, to keep going. So,

16:04

here we are. Now, I have

16:06

opened a reading for

16:08

the 18th. That's Good

16:10

Friday, apparently. I just

16:13

like that it's called

16:15

Good Friday. And we

16:17

can honor Yayshua and

16:20

honor Miriam, Mary

16:22

Magdalene. But I opened one on

16:24

Friday. the 18th at 1 p.m.

16:26

Pacific time if it's still open

16:29

by this point when you hear

16:31

this episode, I don't know. But

16:34

one thing that I was told

16:36

about readings, and this is important

16:38

for you to know, it's really

16:41

important for you to know, we

16:43

talked about this in Satsong on

16:46

Sunday, is that everything is the

16:48

consciousness, everything. There is no separation.

16:50

You know in manifestation where they

16:53

say like the universe is coming

16:55

down to test you on things

16:57

like you're getting tested? This is

16:59

so misunderstood because there's no separation

17:01

between you and the universe.

17:03

There's no separation. The

17:05

universe is experiencing itself through

17:07

you. Everything is the universe, which

17:09

is the universe, which is consciousness,

17:11

which is God, all these words.

17:14

It doesn't matter. But how can

17:16

the universe test you individually when

17:18

you are the universe? It's not possible.

17:20

This is misunderstood. It's short-sightedness, but

17:22

this is also part of the

17:25

experience because if you have not

17:27

yet seen that you are the

17:29

universe, that all is one, and

17:32

that everything is consciousness, everything is

17:34

the universe, everything is God, there

17:36

is no separation, then you understand

17:39

you're not being tested. What is

17:41

actually happening when something comes and

17:43

it feels like a test this

17:45

in quantum manifestation we call an

17:47

energetic check-in What is actually happening

17:50

is the consciousness is appearing before

17:52

you through some form So this

17:54

form can be an email this

17:56

form can be a phone call

17:59

this form can be a

18:01

person, this form can be

18:03

a pattern, a situation, a

18:05

reaction, it can be anything,

18:08

anything. It can be an

18:10

energetic communication of a number,

18:12

it can be a pivot

18:14

in plans, it can be

18:17

any type of diversion, anything,

18:19

anything at all. The consciousness

18:21

is going to come before

18:23

you. to connect into the

18:26

consciousness within, energetic checkins, mean

18:28

drop into the heart and

18:31

surrender and let go of control.

18:33

When you're trying to pass a

18:35

test, you're going through the mind.

18:38

You're going through the mind when

18:40

you're trying to pass a test.

18:42

You're trying to be perfect in

18:44

the super spiritual ego. I can

18:46

manage this. I can handle this.

18:48

I am perfect. That's all through

18:50

the mind. But when you're in the

18:53

heart. You're saying I let

18:55

go of control. I surrender and

18:57

I come back into love

18:59

and I give gratitude to

19:01

this experience for humbling me

19:03

and allowing me to release

19:06

control. This is also root

19:08

chakra stuff. As we say,

19:10

the root chakra is being

19:12

reworked right now, going from

19:15

fear and control to knowing

19:17

that you are divinely held.

19:19

Always, always, always, always, you're

19:21

divinely held. And so...

19:23

Energetic check-ins. They will

19:26

come before you in

19:28

some way. But all

19:30

this is is the

19:32

consciousness communicating to you to

19:34

let go. This is how

19:37

you smooth energetic kinks. This

19:39

is how you release karma.

19:41

This is how you do things

19:43

differently. This is how

19:45

you see life in a greater

19:47

way is just by releasing

19:50

control. We've

19:53

moved through eclipse season. The

19:56

retrogrades are clearing and now

19:58

there's a sense of newness

20:00

and freshness in the air.

20:03

You can feel it, possibility,

20:05

change, excitement, but

20:07

also maybe a little

20:10

confusion, a little fog.

20:12

If you're like me, the

20:14

energy is still shifting quickly.

20:16

One day it's clear. The

20:19

next, a little unsure. But

20:21

this is exactly why I

20:23

offer journey home Akashik record

20:26

readings, to hold you through

20:28

the transitions, to support your

20:30

nervous system, to reconnect you

20:33

to your heart, to the

20:35

truth beneath all of the

20:37

noise. These readings are more

20:40

than guidance, their re-alignment, their

20:42

remembrance. Clients often tell me

20:44

that it feels like 10

20:46

years of therapy in one

20:48

hour. They cry. They soften,

20:51

they feel seen, and by

20:53

the end, they feel deeply

20:55

and completely calm. As an

20:57

open conduit for the consciousness,

20:59

I can say with confidence,

21:01

you will receive exactly what

21:04

you need. My May readings

21:06

are now open, and so

21:08

if you feel the call,

21:10

trust it. Book your reading

21:12

at ALN within.com or at

21:14

the link in the show notes

21:16

below. I am so... So grateful

21:19

and happy to read for you.

21:21

So I'm going to give you

21:23

an example of what's happening

21:25

right now with readings. So

21:28

I opened the records for

21:30

someone recently and right before

21:33

I opened the records for

21:35

her I heard very very

21:38

clearly. Your readings are slowing

21:40

down. They're slowing down. Fewer

21:42

of them will be booked.

21:44

Do not panic. Everything will

21:47

be taken care of. But your

21:49

time is shifting. The way you

21:51

live your life and the way

21:53

your days are structured, this is

21:56

shifting. This change is needed. Let

21:58

go of control. and just

22:01

trust. And so, that was

22:03

not comfortable.

22:05

That was not comfortable

22:07

at all. No, it was

22:10

not comfortable.

22:12

But it's also true,

22:14

and I can feel it.

22:16

I can feel inside

22:18

myself that I'll be

22:20

doing less readings and

22:22

that there will be

22:24

less space for readings

22:26

for some time. I don't know

22:28

when this starts. Well, it's already

22:30

starting now. I don't know. But I

22:33

can see there's this workshop I want

22:35

to create. It's going to be the

22:37

biggest workshop I've ever created on the

22:40

chakras and how the chakras are connected

22:42

to the physical body and the organs

22:44

and... Everything, quantum manifestation and time is

22:46

needed for that. I can see guided

22:49

opening quite a bit and time is

22:51

needed for that. A move, time is

22:53

needed for that. It's like, all these

22:56

things, I can see I'm going to

22:58

be gifted time. But then the mind

23:00

comes in of, but how, how, how,

23:03

how do we pay for everything? Because

23:05

the readings. pay for rent? The readings

23:07

pay for food. The readings pay for

23:10

things. How? How? How? Well, it's been

23:12

interesting because this is an energetic check-in.

23:14

Now, the mind would go into the

23:17

readings are booking less, I'm not worthy,

23:19

I'm not marketing myself enough, I need

23:21

to push harder, I need to do

23:24

this, I need to do that. No,

23:26

no, no. There is surrender here and

23:28

there is seeing here and there is

23:31

understanding here and there is trust

23:33

here. I'm moving through the motions

23:35

right alongside you all. Truly, I

23:37

am, but I've opened this reading.

23:40

I was called to on the

23:42

18th. There's one more open on

23:44

April 26th, I believe, and

23:46

then there's still a handful

23:48

open for May. But if you're

23:50

called to book them, you will,

23:52

and if not, you won't. I

23:55

received this. I received this. Your

23:57

readings are slowing down. But they're

23:59

still there because... because I love

24:01

doing them. I love doing

24:03

them. I really, really do.

24:05

And so as long as

24:07

I have the space and

24:09

the call to open them

24:11

and book them, I will

24:13

open them and do them.

24:15

But yeah, I did receive

24:17

that. And it's just adding

24:19

in the mix of all

24:21

the change and everything that

24:24

I can feel right now.

24:26

And before we talk more

24:28

about Eclipse season as

24:31

a spiritual detox.

24:33

I have to gush about

24:35

guided because, oh my gosh,

24:37

wow, I haven't had as

24:39

much time to go into

24:42

the living room. You know,

24:44

when I say telegram and

24:46

these rooms that we have

24:49

in telegram, that falls so

24:51

flat. Telegram, every

24:53

business now has a telegram.

24:56

It's like it falls so

24:58

flat. And I've been

25:00

looking at this over the

25:02

past week. I have listened to

25:05

a few messages just here

25:07

and there in our telegram.

25:09

And I have heard repeatedly

25:12

over and over. I have

25:14

never found a community

25:17

like this before. This

25:19

is unlike any space on the

25:21

internet or in the digital realm

25:24

that I have ever found before.

25:26

I feel more love here than

25:28

I feel anywhere else. You all

25:30

have given me the strength

25:32

to move through da da da da da.

25:35

These are all different things that I

25:37

have heard. There was one of

25:39

our sisters who was having just

25:42

this really, really, really challenging

25:44

time with her health and

25:46

her marriage and... I was just

25:48

watching our guided community just bathe

25:50

her in love like just pour

25:53

love all over her and it

25:55

gave her the strength to go

25:57

home and express her her heart.

26:00

to her partner saying, I don't know

26:02

if I want to be married

26:04

anymore. Like all of these things

26:06

that require really deep, deep, deep

26:08

experiences in life and strength and

26:10

courage. There's this spiritual community here

26:12

in Guided that is just so

26:14

profound. It is so beautiful and

26:16

many of you have expressed to

26:18

me, I want to come, but

26:20

I don't know if I'm ready

26:22

and I don't know and da

26:24

da da da da da da

26:27

da. And you're going to come

26:29

when you're ready, but like whatever

26:31

is holding you back, just know

26:33

that's your mind and that's your

26:35

ego. Truly, because when your heart

26:38

is ready for love and you're

26:40

ready to really feel a part

26:42

of something that is bigger than

26:44

anything you could explain. and really

26:47

feel like you're in this circle

26:49

where we're all holding hands and

26:51

bringing in an offering and really

26:54

in this place of spiritual devotion

26:56

and care and a community that

26:58

you really feel like you're being

27:00

cared for. I mean you've listened

27:03

to the episodes now with Sophia

27:05

with Tanya where you're hearing the

27:07

transformations that happened and guided but

27:09

also this community love that is here.

27:12

It is rich and powerful and deep

27:14

and deep and Like, you and I

27:16

just looked at each other the

27:19

other day and he's like, this

27:21

is profound. Like, we've created this

27:23

space where we don't really even

27:25

do that much. Like, truly, we

27:27

don't even really do that much.

27:29

We've just created a space, set a

27:32

tone, and everyone there is just loving

27:34

on each other and taking care of

27:36

each other. This is not something you

27:39

see in many places, but I had

27:41

a taste of it in Panama. I

27:43

remember one of our participants there, she

27:45

said to me, she was like, Ashley, I

27:47

have never been in a community

27:50

like this, or I've never been in

27:52

a group of women like this, because

27:54

our Panama retreat was all women. So

27:56

was Finland, all women. And guided at

27:58

the moment is all. women plus you

28:01

so brothers I called on you

28:03

at the beginning of this episode

28:05

you're here come come come no

28:08

wait we do have another brother

28:10

and guided he's just quiet that's

28:12

okay um but she said to

28:14

me in Panama she's like I

28:17

have never been in a group

28:19

of women like this for 10

28:21

days where everyone is so loving

28:23

and so kind and so supportive

28:26

there's no cliqueiness. There's no girl

28:28

on girl drama. There's no this.

28:30

There's no that. There's no wounded

28:33

feminine. It's like everyone, if that

28:35

is a part of the experience,

28:37

it's checked at the door and

28:40

the heart is open and you're

28:42

just here to receive and

28:44

give and give and give.

28:46

Receive, and give love. It's just

28:48

this infinite reciprocality of love and

28:51

it's so incredible. and I'm so

28:53

humbled and just grateful that this

28:56

is what we have created. No

28:58

wonder we're guided to an island

29:00

made on Rose Quartz to have

29:03

our retreat center, our physical space,

29:05

but right now it feels like

29:08

that energy is already there

29:10

in the telegram space. It's already

29:12

there. It is so strong. I'm

29:14

gonna let faith. speak. I

29:16

recorded this message. I took

29:18

a screen recording of it

29:20

in telegram and she is,

29:23

she left a love note

29:25

for you because we have

29:27

a space in there where

29:29

you can leave love notes

29:31

about guided and this is

29:34

what she left last Sunday.

29:36

I am fresh off of a thought

29:38

song call in guided and feeling

29:41

so supported, surrounded by

29:43

and filled with love. And

29:48

that is exactly

29:51

what being

29:53

in guided is

29:56

and feels like

29:58

the words. family

30:01

and home aren't

30:04

used lightly.

30:06

That is spaces.

30:09

And there is

30:11

no way for the

30:13

mind to

30:16

understand it unless

30:19

you are here to

30:21

feel it. And you

30:24

will. If you come.

30:28

You will just

30:31

feel love, family,

30:35

home. There is

30:37

no other space

30:40

that is this.

30:42

So come, come,

30:45

just come. We

30:47

have made it

30:50

so easy for you now

30:52

to just come and dip

30:55

your toe in, you can

30:57

join month to month. You

31:00

don't have to join with

31:02

the full six month or

31:04

your commitment. I understand how

31:06

daunting that can be, especially

31:09

if finances are rocky or

31:11

you're just not sure. Trust

31:14

me, I understand there have

31:16

been so many experiences. Also

31:19

know that. If something is

31:21

bringing you closer to God,

31:23

it doesn't matter what that

31:26

thing is. If something is

31:28

bringing you closer to God,

31:30

maybe that's a guided

31:32

membership. Maybe that's doing

31:35

Pilates every day. Maybe

31:37

that's buying yourself flowers.

31:39

I just did that. Maybe

31:41

that is prioritizing

31:43

being in nature every day. Maybe

31:46

that is spending time. I don't

31:48

know, going grocery shopping by yourself

31:50

without your family, whatever it is,

31:52

if something's bringing you closer to

31:54

God, which just means closer to

31:56

oneness, closer to love, away from

31:58

the mind, dropping... you into the

32:00

heart if something is bringing you

32:03

closer to God, you will always

32:05

be supported for it. Always. And

32:07

we are here to support you in

32:09

any way that we can. We have our

32:12

all our guided program with

32:14

discounted rates. We have our

32:16

monthly entering point, like our

32:18

month-to-month membership. We have our

32:20

annual membership. Like choose your

32:22

own adventure and dive into

32:25

the community that is an

32:27

ocean of love. where you

32:29

also have all the resources

32:31

that you could ever imagine

32:34

to come home, to walk home

32:36

to oneness. So I'm so grateful.

32:38

I'm so grateful. I'm so

32:41

grateful. And I had to

32:43

pause this episode to go

32:45

and take care of something.

32:47

And when I came back,

32:49

that Friday 18th reading had

32:51

been booked. So if you're

32:53

called to another one, there

32:55

are more. And I would

32:57

love to see you there

33:00

are more. I actually changed

33:02

almost all of the May

33:04

readings. There's only like four

33:06

left I think that are

33:08

at 10 a.m. Pacific

33:10

time and all the other ones

33:12

I moved to the afternoon

33:15

because of Pilates. Because

33:17

of Pilates. Because I

33:19

need time in the

33:21

morning to do my Pilates.

33:24

Let's talk about health. Actually,

33:26

first I'm going to tell

33:28

you about Instagram. This came

33:31

up just, I guess, a couple days

33:33

ago, I told you all

33:35

that I'm done with Instagram.

33:37

I'm like, I'm done, mercury

33:39

retrograde, I'm done with Instagram,

33:41

I'm going to sub stack,

33:44

I'm finished, I'm finished. I was

33:46

finished with something to do

33:48

with Instagram, but it wasn't

33:50

the app itself. And this

33:52

is the thing. Everything is

33:54

neutral. but it is

33:56

how we engage with

33:59

it. gives it energy. And

34:01

having been on Instagram for 15

34:03

years, there was a lot of

34:05

identity there. And I started to

34:08

notice that when I was stepping

34:10

away and not going on the

34:12

app and not sharing and whatnot,

34:14

I was starting to notice these

34:16

questions that were coming up of

34:18

like, well, then who am I? Like these

34:20

hidden identities, these little hidden identities, who

34:22

am I if I'm not Ashley on

34:25

Instagram? Who am I if I'm not

34:27

sharing on Instagram? Who am I if

34:29

I'm not interacting on Instagram? I didn't

34:31

know that those were still there, but

34:34

they were, they were still there, and

34:36

I looked at them all, and then

34:38

I started to even notice, like, the

34:40

mind, being like, yeah, but the people

34:43

who share on Instagram, they like really

34:45

care about... showing up in life. Like

34:47

they really care. And those who don't,

34:49

like who am I if I don't share?

34:51

So then I could look at that. And that

34:54

was important because that's

34:56

through the eyes of judgment. That is

34:58

the super ego. So I could look

35:00

at that. And then there was time

35:03

where I just wasn't on the app

35:05

and I wasn't even really thinking about

35:07

it. And then suddenly there was this

35:09

like calling to like go back, go

35:11

back, go back, just go start looking

35:14

at stuff, go back. And I

35:16

was like, what is this? What

35:18

is this? And suddenly I could

35:21

see that what actually dropped for

35:23

me around Instagram was

35:25

the identity. And those words

35:28

show up are very important

35:30

because it was the question

35:32

that was planted within this

35:35

energy field, within this mind.

35:37

Years ago, when I first

35:39

started Instagram, how are you

35:42

going to show up? How many

35:44

times a day? Do you hear

35:46

that? Really? Maybe not for

35:48

some of you, not at

35:50

all. I asked you so

35:52

and he's like, I've never

35:54

heard that. Like, maybe this

35:56

is a wellness girl Instagram

35:58

thing. The Pilates instructor

36:00

that I'm just so in love

36:03

with, her name is Bailey Brown.

36:05

I moved on from Move with

36:07

Nicole. Love Nicole. I do go

36:09

there sometimes, but I just can't

36:11

get enough of Bailey's, Pilates classes.

36:14

They are so hard. And they're

36:16

so good. And she uses weights,

36:18

ankle weights, wrist weights, three pound,

36:20

five pound weights. And I just

36:22

love it. I love the. challenge

36:24

like it's hard and I feel

36:27

sore in my body after and

36:29

I like that that's what I

36:31

want and I didn't feel that

36:33

with Nicole I didn't feel sore

36:35

I just felt like long and

36:38

lean and aligned and that's really

36:40

good but like I want to

36:42

feel that burn like I want

36:44

to feel that I want to

36:46

feel that and so it's it's

36:48

so nice but bless you Bailey

36:51

I love you so much and

36:53

she says every day how are

36:55

you're going to show up for

36:57

yourself Like I hear this everywhere.

36:59

How are you going to show

37:02

up for yourself? How are you

37:04

going to show up? How are

37:06

you going to show up as

37:08

your most confident self? How are

37:10

you going to show up? And

37:12

that that was the poison in

37:15

Instagram for me. How are you

37:17

going to show up? Because that

37:19

is all through the mind and

37:21

that is all performance. All of

37:23

it. How are you going to

37:26

show up? I want to show

37:28

up as a transparent conduit for

37:30

the divine. That is how I

37:32

want to show up. I want

37:34

to show up. As transparent, like

37:36

I want you to feel from

37:39

this experience nothing but love and

37:41

connection and family and home. All

37:43

of these mind things of, well,

37:45

who are you if you're not

37:47

on Instagram? All of that stuff,

37:49

who are you going to be?

37:52

How do you show up? That

37:54

is the spiritual cleansing that is

37:56

going on right now. That's what

37:58

I'm looking at dropping. I don't

38:00

want to hold any of that.

38:03

That's not real. That's illusion. That's

38:05

illusion and it's like walking around

38:07

in life with chains attached to

38:09

my ankles and not the ankle

38:11

wake. that I'm wearing. Not now,

38:13

I'm not wearing them now, but

38:16

I don't want to walk around

38:18

with chains like that because that

38:20

is the bondage. That is the

38:22

suffering, that's the poison, is all

38:24

of these filters of performance. And

38:27

so when I was able to

38:29

see that, see that Instagram for

38:31

me was about how am I

38:33

going to show up? I was

38:35

able to drop it. and come

38:37

back to the app in love.

38:40

And now I'm only on the

38:42

Ashley Hamilton in Instagram right now.

38:44

But it's so joyful. I'm having

38:46

so much fun. I'm just having

38:48

fun sharing love. That's it. And

38:51

it's so nice. And it's just

38:53

moments of our life. And I

38:55

do plan to create a sub

38:57

stack. I feel very cold to

38:59

go there and to share certain

39:01

things, certain recipes. I've been sharing

39:04

recipes in our telegram. in our

39:06

guided telegram of different things that

39:08

I'm making right now to support

39:10

my liver detox and using like

39:12

dandelion greens dandelion is one of

39:15

the most beautiful medicines on this

39:17

planet if your yard is covered

39:19

in it it's calling you don't

39:21

fight it just pick it and

39:23

eat it really like the dandelion

39:25

root I've been consuming it now

39:28

for 53 days it is detoxifying

39:30

my liver along with Milk Thistle,

39:32

but Dandelion is so powerful. And

39:34

so I've been sharing recipes that

39:36

I've been using with Dandelion. And

39:38

all the things that I was

39:41

called to create in Substack, that's

39:43

still coming. It just feels like

39:45

it's not time yet. And maybe

39:47

next week it's time. Maybe May

39:49

is time. I don't know, but

39:52

it just doesn't feel time yet.

39:54

And this was an important step

39:56

to just come back to Instagram

39:58

in love and to ensure that

40:00

what I... Share going forward is

40:02

not about showing up like please

40:05

tell me do you? hold that?

40:07

I mean I'm not the only

40:09

one that has been in this

40:11

space of spiritual wellness girl. On

40:13

Instagram I know I'm not the

40:16

only one who's who has that

40:18

question circulating within the mind. How

40:20

are you going to show up?

40:22

Show up as your best self.

40:24

Show up in life as your

40:26

most confident self. Like truly. How

40:29

does that affect you? How does

40:31

that affect you? I would love

40:33

to know. Share with me, please,

40:35

because it was like glass shattering

40:37

revelation to me when I was

40:40

able to see that. That Instagram

40:42

for me was about, how are

40:44

you going to show up? And

40:46

so if a world event happens,

40:48

how are you going to show

40:50

up? How are you going to

40:53

show that this is important to

40:55

you? Like, no thank you, not

40:57

anymore. I want to be transparent.

40:59

I want to be transparent. I

41:01

want to be this just transparent

41:04

beam of love. And I'm not

41:06

showing up in performance. It's so

41:08

subtle. These identities, my dear friends,

41:10

they run so subtle. They're so,

41:12

so subtle. But what a freaking

41:14

blessing it is when they come

41:17

to light and they come to

41:19

surface and they just smash and

41:21

fall to the ground because they're

41:23

heavy to carry. They're inauthentic. They're

41:25

inauthentic to carry. Your most authentic

41:28

self is transparent. Your most authentic

41:30

self is the consciousness. And then

41:32

there are ways in which that

41:34

is expressed. Yes, of course, but

41:36

our most authentic self is transparent.

41:38

It's just the consciousness, like it's

41:41

just light shining through. It's not

41:43

about performing and showing up in

41:45

a certain way. If

41:48

you've been feeling the pull to

41:50

join guided, our all-access membership community

41:53

but weren't ready to fully commit

41:55

to an entire year, the moment

41:57

is here. We've just opened a

41:59

month-to-month membership options, something many of

42:02

you have been waiting for. Inside

42:04

of guided, you receive access to

42:06

all of our workshops, weekly live

42:08

songs on Zoom, and most importantly,

42:11

are deep, intimate community. We gather

42:13

together daily on telegram with voice

42:15

messages, support and love. You are

42:17

never alone. Really guided is 50%

42:20

the teachings and 50% the soul

42:22

family that holds you as you

42:24

walk your path. Yes, it's a

42:26

higher monthly price, but it's a

42:29

beautiful way to dip your toe

42:31

in, feel the energy, and experience

42:33

what it's like to be fully

42:35

seen, held, and guided. And if

42:37

it feels right to you, you

42:40

can always shift to an annual

42:42

membership later. Come and be a

42:44

part of something expansive. You belong

42:46

here. on ALN within.com. But this

42:49

brings me to Venus retrograde and

42:51

Mercury retrograde and caring for my

42:53

body. And when I shared this

42:55

on social media, just some of

42:58

the things that I've been going

43:00

through for the past two months,

43:02

as I said, people were really

43:04

interested. Women were interested because most

43:07

women are dealing with some kind

43:09

of hormonal imbalance. Most women are

43:11

dealing with some kind of... imbalance

43:13

in their iron or a sluggish

43:15

liver, most women are dealing with

43:18

something like this, or most women

43:20

are dealing with painful periods, most

43:22

women are dealing with cramps, like

43:24

most women are dealing with things

43:27

like this, and this is a

43:29

blocked sacral chakra and a blocked

43:31

solar plexus chakra, meaning the sexual

43:33

energy, solar plexus meaning the confidence,

43:36

and that's the root of what

43:38

I've been experiencing. As I said,

43:40

I've done lots of the energetic

43:42

work and the physical... work inside

43:45

to clear all of that sexual

43:47

trauma, but now I'm balancing the

43:49

hormones from a physical approach, which

43:51

is radiating my solar plexus chakra

43:54

because it's bringing confidence, of course

43:56

it is, because when I had

43:58

such hormonal acne and redness and

44:00

rosacea and I was carrying so

44:02

much weight, like extra weight that

44:05

my body had ever carried before,

44:07

it wasn't comfortable, like everything was

44:09

so uncomfortable, it's all energy, okay?

44:11

Like, this isn't faux pot to

44:14

talk about and... It just is.

44:16

It's like I was carrying energy

44:18

that was so uncomfortable to carry.

44:20

It was fear. Fear about money,

44:23

fear about paying rent, fear about

44:25

the Airbnbs. In the Akashik records,

44:27

I heard, you will be in

44:29

an Airbnb on Salt Spring Island

44:32

before you move into your house

44:34

because your house has to be

44:36

renovated. And I burst into tears.

44:38

There's still some stuff to look

44:40

at there. I became so afraid.

44:43

I was like, no, no, no,

44:45

I'm not going back to the

44:47

Airbnbs. No, no, no, no, no.

44:49

Because we lived in an Airbnb,

44:52

well, 16 of them for four

44:54

and a half months. We bounced

44:56

around all over the place. I

44:58

was pregnant. It was so traumatic

45:01

for me, truly, as... This soul

45:03

is a Taurus North node. Home

45:05

is important. Venus is in Taurus.

45:07

Home is important. And not having

45:10

that, I found the home within,

45:12

yes. But not having the physical

45:14

home to make beautiful, the physical

45:16

nest to make beautiful, was really,

45:19

really, really hard for me. And

45:21

so, um... Of course, carrying the

45:23

extra weight that was energetically attached

45:25

to that experience and then the

45:27

fear of not having stable finances

45:30

and not knowing how to cover

45:32

things, everything was always taken care

45:34

of. This is quantum manifestation. Everything

45:36

was always taking care of, but

45:39

carrying that extra weight. Of course,

45:41

resulted in a blocked solar plexus

45:43

because I didn't feel confident to

45:45

share, you know, I didn't feel

45:48

confident to show up because the

45:50

body did not feel good. There

45:52

was so much hormonal acne, that

45:54

did not feel good. The hair

45:57

felt strange. And even like my

45:59

skin and like my eyes, they

46:01

looked so dull. And this is

46:03

something that I also received from

46:06

some of you as well. Like

46:08

my eyes too, they feel so

46:10

dull. Well, the eyes are directly

46:12

connected to the solar plexus and

46:14

directly connected to the liver. So

46:17

if the liver is not processing

46:19

and not clearing things and you

46:21

have a hormonal buildup and there's

46:23

a solar plexus block, your eyes

46:26

are gonna look dull. But when

46:28

the solar plexus starts to open

46:30

and the liver starts to process

46:32

things, which is connected to the

46:35

eyes. The eyes are going to

46:37

look bright again and I've noticed

46:39

this change within myself and so

46:41

I'm really happy to share this

46:44

because this is something that so

46:46

many move through. So. I did

46:48

an episode a few weeks back

46:50

on, it's called In and Through

46:52

the Body, and this is about

46:55

the chakras and where they're at

46:57

right now, and I talked about

46:59

the things that I was diagnosed

47:01

with, not diagnosed. Well, I guess

47:04

so. I was told I have

47:06

a sluggish liver, low cortisol, low

47:08

iron, excess estrogen buildup, of course,

47:10

because during my menstrual cycle, like

47:13

I've learned now because of cycle

47:15

sinking. I sink my cycle with

47:17

my palatas workouts and also with

47:19

the food I eat, meaning the

47:22

hormonal stages that I am in,

47:24

because as a woman, we go

47:26

through four hormonal stages in a

47:28

monthly cycle. We start with menstruation.

47:31

This is the bleed. And then

47:33

we move into follicular, which is

47:35

like the inner spring. It's like

47:37

when the hormones are starting. to

47:39

come back. The menstruation is when

47:42

our hormones are at our lowest.

47:44

This is the inner winter. So

47:46

the hormones are at our lowest

47:48

point. The body is doing deep

47:51

shedding, deep work, internal time, go

47:53

slow, slow down. eat comfy cozy

47:55

foods, eat chocolate like it's good

47:57

for you. And then the body

48:00

comes into the inner spring, which

48:02

is the molecular phase when the

48:04

hormones are starting to pick up,

48:06

which means your energy is starting

48:09

to pick up if it's functioning

48:11

properly, which means you're starting to

48:13

feel like spring, like you're coming

48:15

back to life, like things are

48:17

moving again. And then as you

48:20

go through that that phase, the

48:22

workouts, the movement, it can become...

48:24

More and more like we're not

48:26

talking though, like I'm doing Pilates.

48:29

This is not like crazy Hit

48:31

training or things that are not

48:33

aligned for a woman's body I'm

48:35

not going to run again. I

48:38

don't think I have no interest

48:40

in running ever again At this

48:42

point in my life. It does

48:44

not feel aligned for my hormones.

48:47

I used to run so hard

48:49

so hard like I would run

48:51

and run and run and run

48:53

and run and I used to

48:56

do intermittent fasting. I used to

48:58

do all of these things, like

49:00

if I were to work out,

49:02

even after having lumi, if I

49:04

were to work out, I'd be

49:07

like, pick the hit cardio workout,

49:09

the one that's the hardest. Like

49:11

that's the one I have to

49:13

do because that's the one that's

49:16

going to drop all this weight.

49:18

Well, first, I couldn't be consistent

49:20

with it, and secondly, it didn't

49:22

work. So, we're not designed to

49:25

move like this. except for in

49:27

our ovulation phase, which is five

49:29

days of the month. That's when

49:31

our body can handle hit training

49:34

and high intensity workouts. Other than

49:36

that, as a woman, we're not

49:38

designed to move like that. That's

49:40

a woman trying to fit into

49:43

a man's world, truly. And that's

49:45

why so many of us have

49:47

problems with hormones and problems with

49:49

our sexual energy. Like, this is

49:51

a whole thing. This is going

49:54

to be a workshop. I'm telling

49:56

this is what I said, I'm

49:58

being gifted space to create the

50:00

largest workshop I have ever created.

50:03

There's so much I've been learning

50:05

about the chakra points and the

50:07

points within the body and even

50:09

like how our fingertips are connected

50:12

to different organs and different chakra

50:14

points, our toes, different points within

50:16

our feet, like different points within

50:18

the hand. Everything is connected and

50:21

our body is this compass that's

50:23

always guiding showing us. What is

50:25

important to look at. And so

50:27

anyway, then we come into the

50:29

inner spring, the molecular phase where

50:32

we're waking up and then we're

50:34

going into ovulation, which is supposed

50:36

to be our most glowy, beautiful,

50:38

outgoing social time where we can

50:41

handle these higher intensity workouts where

50:43

we're like networking and how are

50:45

you going to show up. No,

50:47

no, no. But this is the

50:50

time when it like feels like

50:52

we're so naturally like I want

50:54

to put myself out there. This

50:56

is a healthy cycle. This was

50:59

the opposite of how I have

51:01

felt since whom he was born.

51:03

Obulation for me was the worst.

51:05

It was the most uncomfortable time.

51:08

It was when there was so

51:10

much cramping where I felt really

51:12

tired, where I became constipated, where

51:14

I would break out, where I

51:16

felt like I couldn't wait to

51:19

fall asleep at night. And it

51:21

was because as the hormones picked

51:23

up and got to the point

51:25

of ovulation, because my liver was

51:28

so sluggish and I became constipated,

51:30

they all got stuck. Of course,

51:32

our hormones, excess hormones, are released

51:34

through the body through elimination, through

51:37

going poo. That's how we release

51:39

our excess hormones. And if the

51:41

liver is sluggish and things can't...

51:43

be eliminated through the body then

51:46

everything gets all backed up and

51:48

then there's an excess hormone build

51:50

there and then as the body

51:52

is then slowing down again through

51:54

the luteal phase and preparing for

51:57

menstruation then there's suddenly an excess

51:59

of progesterone because there hasn't been

52:01

it hasn't been able to flush

52:03

out it's not like cycling properly

52:06

and so this is what I

52:08

was dealing with since Lumie was

52:10

born I got my period at

52:12

five weeks postpartum and It was

52:15

just, I was just like, something

52:17

is wrong. Like something's wrong in

52:19

my body. My eyes look gray.

52:21

My skin is just breaking out.

52:24

I'm so tired. I don't feel

52:26

a zest for life whatsoever. But

52:28

maybe that's because I'm not sleeping.

52:30

And everyone I talked to, they

52:33

were like, well, it's because you're

52:35

breastfeeding. Where did we get in

52:37

the mind? Where were we told

52:39

that breastfeeding makes you... feel horrible

52:41

and that breastfeeding makes your whole

52:44

body go bananas. Where did that

52:46

come from? It's like I was

52:48

told two lies that are commonly

52:50

believed by women. With both children,

52:53

with Hanu, I had the most

52:55

intense Kundalini awakening which resulted in

52:57

postpartum anxiety and I was told

52:59

it's just because you're a mother

53:02

and you're tired and you're good

53:04

mother for worrying about your child.

53:06

What? Like I could barely handle

53:08

life. I didn't think I was

53:11

going to make it out alive.

53:13

God bless the doctor that gave

53:15

me pharmaceutical support for a couple

53:17

of months to get me back

53:19

on track because I couldn't do

53:22

it myself. But the amount of

53:24

women who were like, this is

53:26

just normal, you're just a new

53:28

mother. Even crisis workers, even nurses,

53:31

even nurses. I would call them

53:33

in the middle of the night

53:35

being like, I don't know if

53:37

I'm going to live till the

53:40

next day because I can hardly

53:42

handle my anxiety right now. And

53:44

they'd be like, oh, you're just

53:46

tired. You're a new mom. Okay,

53:49

that's not true, because becoming a

53:51

mother is a spiritual rite of

53:53

passage and it's so beautiful and

53:55

it's so powerful and it is

53:58

designed to be juicy and glorious

54:00

and everything that I have felt

54:02

with Lumie in terms of love,

54:04

like total opposite from Hanu. I

54:06

have had zero anxiety with Lumie

54:09

in terms of like mothering him.

54:11

The fear has been of other

54:13

stuff of like use as immigration

54:15

and money and da da da

54:18

da But all of that had

54:20

nothing to do with having another

54:22

child. It's been such a ease

54:24

bringing him into the world. It's

54:27

been so beautiful But then the

54:29

lie I was told with him

54:31

is that You're breastfeeding so it's

54:33

normal that your body is totally

54:36

Bananas like it's totally off track.

54:38

It's out of alignment. This isn't

54:40

true breastfeeding as well is God's

54:42

gift, like it's so beautiful. I

54:45

love breastfeeding. I love breastfeeding and

54:47

I will breastfeeding him as long

54:49

as he wants honey nursed until

54:51

she was five. Let's see how

54:53

long Lumie goes. It was just

54:56

to go to bed. It's not

54:58

like I nursed her throughout the

55:00

day, but I remember when I

55:02

went into my natural path and

55:05

I told her that I nursed.

55:07

honey until she was five. She

55:09

was like, that is amazing. What

55:11

a gift you gave her. You

55:14

set her up. Like that is

55:16

just so beautiful. We need to

55:18

celebrate extended nursing so much more

55:20

because many women feel pressured to

55:23

stop at one or even before

55:25

one. Don't listen to that. Follow

55:27

the body, yes, hydrate yourself well,

55:29

feed yourself well, like feed yourself

55:31

really well, drink a lot of

55:34

water. This is a whole different

55:36

thing. Again, I'm gonna write a

55:38

book one day about postpartum and

55:40

birth and all of it because

55:43

I'm so passionate about it, but...

55:45

Anyways, this is what I was

55:47

told. I was told it's because

55:49

you're breastfeeding. And this is why

55:52

it took me so long to

55:54

seek support, because I thought this

55:56

is Kundalini awakening, this is spiritual

55:58

growth, this is quantum manifestation. and

56:01

I'm breastfeeding. So this is why

56:03

I look gray. This is why

56:05

my eyes look so dull. This

56:07

is why like you look into

56:10

my eyes and it's like there's

56:12

no soul there. It's like they're

56:14

offline and I'm holding so much

56:16

weight and my skin is just

56:18

not nice. No, it was because

56:21

my liver was sluggish. My hormones

56:23

were completely off balance and I

56:25

was not working with my energy

56:27

whatsoever and I also was not

56:30

feeding my body the foods that

56:32

it needed Although I was feeding

56:34

myself a whole food vegan diet

56:36

I was not feeding myself the

56:39

way my body needed to be

56:41

fed As we move through life,

56:43

our bodies change. And this brings

56:45

me to Puja. Puja for the

56:48

body. I've talked about this before,

56:50

Puja is a Sanskrit word that

56:52

means like a blessing. It's how

56:54

we can give. an offering, like

56:56

Puja can be giving like lighting

56:59

incense and flowers and usually it's

57:01

to gods and deities, but I

57:03

received the guidance to give Puja

57:05

to this body in how I

57:08

feed it and how I care

57:10

for it and how I exercise.

57:12

And so this cycle sinking and

57:14

how I eat now and doing

57:17

Pilates every day, actually moving my

57:19

readings to one o'clock so I

57:21

can give Puja to my body

57:23

and make a beautiful breakfast and

57:26

do an hour of Pilates if

57:28

I want to. Usually I just

57:30

do like 35 to 40 minutes,

57:32

but sometimes I do 50, 55

57:35

minutes and then some stretching. And

57:37

it's Puja to give space to

57:39

that. It's so important. So anyways.

57:41

not to get into it too

57:43

much more, but I was asked

57:46

to share the things that have

57:48

really worked for me. And number

57:50

one, Pilates. Pilates, Pilates, Pilates. I

57:52

can't talk about Pilates enough. I'm

57:55

just in love with it. I

57:57

started with Move with Nicole. I

57:59

do it. every day. Every day.

58:01

I think I've missed two days

58:04

in 53 days at this point.

58:06

And I don't do it every

58:08

day because I feel like I

58:10

have to. I do it every

58:13

day because I want to. It

58:15

feels so good in my body.

58:17

If I wake up with energy

58:19

that feels a little bit off

58:21

and I go and do Pilates,

58:24

like it is just wholly the

58:26

transformation I feel afterwards. So I

58:28

started with Move with Nicole. She's

58:30

free on YouTube. Anyone can do

58:33

it. She's amazing, so graceful, so

58:35

strong. And she was my entry

58:37

point. And then Bailey Brown came

58:39

into my awareness. I bought her

58:42

book, A Line Your Cycle. and

58:44

then I downloaded her app and

58:46

then there was like this hesitation

58:48

to jump in I felt like

58:51

well I can't I do Nicole

58:53

I don't I have a teacher

58:55

I can't I can't and then

58:57

one day I was just like

59:00

why the hell am I holding

59:02

myself back like I'm drawn to

59:04

this woman so just do it

59:06

and so I did one of

59:08

her classes and I was like,

59:11

yeah, that's it. This is it.

59:13

This is what I came for.

59:15

And what I love about her

59:17

app is that she actually has

59:20

many different things in her app,

59:22

but she has Pilates classes based

59:24

on the cycle that you're in.

59:26

So she has her menstruation phase

59:29

classes, one for every day of

59:31

your period, and then Volecular phase,

59:33

ovulation, and then the luteal phase.

59:35

So you can use her app

59:38

and just work out for your

59:40

cycle every month if you want.

59:42

And then she has challenges. She

59:44

has so much stuff, strength polities,

59:47

power polities. This morning I did

59:49

a reformer class without an actual

59:51

reformer, but wearing socks on the

59:53

mat so I could like glide

59:55

back and forth. And it was

59:58

so good. It was in the

1:00:00

luteal phase day 25, if you

1:00:02

have the app. That's the one

1:00:04

I did today did today. So

1:00:07

Pilates is number one the one

1:00:09

of the biggest changes and then

1:00:11

number two is diet. So I

1:00:13

also downloaded this app. It's called

1:00:16

the lively app and it's for

1:00:18

cycle sinking and it shows you

1:00:20

in the app the things based

1:00:22

on your cycle like the day

1:00:25

that you're on things to do

1:00:27

like tips of things to do

1:00:29

things to eat and ways to

1:00:31

move your body that are going

1:00:33

to be the most supportive for

1:00:36

you so I'll just read today

1:00:38

is cycle day 25 luteal phase

1:00:40

it says do focus on organizing

1:00:42

your space or decluttering to create

1:00:45

a peaceful environment Getting cozy. It's

1:00:47

all about nesting and getting cozy.

1:00:49

Perfect time to tidy and create

1:00:51

a comfy space. I ordered flowers

1:00:54

today. They make me feel comfy.

1:00:56

Move. Moderate strength training is great

1:00:58

to keep your body strong and

1:01:00

your mind focused. Eat protein-rich foods

1:01:03

like lean meats, tofu, and legumes

1:01:05

will help you feel energized and

1:01:07

satisfied. Or did it say satiated?

1:01:09

Satisfied, same thing. And then there's

1:01:12

so many other things like hormone

1:01:14

levels. It actually shows where your

1:01:16

hormone levels are throughout the phases,

1:01:18

estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Right now

1:01:20

they are all dropping. It's telling

1:01:23

me in the luteal phase, your

1:01:25

body waits to see if the

1:01:27

egg is fertilized. Mine is not.

1:01:29

Progesterone. increases, estrogen fluctuates, and testosterone

1:01:32

decreases. You might feel emotional or

1:01:34

have pre-period symptoms. So I love

1:01:36

that app. It has helped me

1:01:38

organize my food. I like to

1:01:41

look into the things of what

1:01:43

to eat. I'm like, oh, I

1:01:45

have that, I have that, I

1:01:47

have that. The other day to

1:01:50

make lunch, I just went in

1:01:52

and looked, okay, I have a

1:01:54

bell pepper, I have Tamari, I

1:01:56

have colorflower, I have chickpeas, I

1:01:58

have spinach, I have kale, I

1:02:01

have kinewa, I have sunflower seeds,

1:02:03

I have sesame seeds, okay, let's,

1:02:05

let's throw together a bowl. And

1:02:07

then I add in like Arugula

1:02:10

or Dandelion greens or one of

1:02:12

these sauces that I have made

1:02:14

with them so that I'm also

1:02:16

cleansing the... Now I'm detoxing my

1:02:19

liver and I'm breastfeeding so it's

1:02:21

going very slow because none of

1:02:23

these toxins that are stored in

1:02:25

the liver can go into the

1:02:28

milk because then they're going to

1:02:30

hurt loomy. So I am taking

1:02:32

one supplement that supports it and

1:02:34

then I'm taking a liver support

1:02:37

tincture that has more dandelion in

1:02:39

it, milk thistle, a couple of

1:02:41

other things. I'm taking MSM crystals.

1:02:43

Very small amount, like a third

1:02:45

of a teaspoon, I think, twice

1:02:48

a day to support the inflammation

1:02:50

in the body that is in

1:02:52

the liver, which is creating the

1:02:54

imbalance in the skin. A couple

1:02:57

of other things, like I'm taking

1:02:59

a lot of magnesium. Magnesium at

1:03:01

night before I go to bed

1:03:03

to support the system in continuing

1:03:06

to flush and regular elimination. Yeah,

1:03:08

then daily walking, walking every day.

1:03:10

This was a big, big change

1:03:12

for me. It really was, and

1:03:15

it's something I used to do

1:03:17

every day for years, like, especially

1:03:19

in St. Andrews, because we had

1:03:21

such a nice beautiful road to

1:03:23

walk on. But then I stopped

1:03:26

walking and now I'm walking every

1:03:28

day I time myself for 30

1:03:30

minutes and I do a whole

1:03:32

loop around from our house down

1:03:35

to the ocean and back twice

1:03:37

This means I'm going down the

1:03:39

mountain and back up twice and

1:03:41

climbing back up the mountain I

1:03:44

am sweating at the end every

1:03:46

day is sweating. So those are

1:03:48

the things that I've been doing

1:03:50

movement like daily movement daily walking

1:03:53

daily Pilates I make sure to

1:03:55

eat protein right after I do

1:03:57

Pilates every day. I make myself

1:03:59

either a smoothie with protein, powder,

1:04:02

and maybe some toast. This morning

1:04:04

I had a smoothie and then

1:04:06

I made the kids pancakes. I

1:04:08

had a pancake. Yeah. I can't

1:04:10

really even think of the other

1:04:13

things that I've been doing, but

1:04:15

that has been so supportive. And

1:04:17

I really have felt so many

1:04:19

changes in my body. My eyes

1:04:22

have sparkle again. I just had

1:04:24

my most beautiful ovulation that I

1:04:26

have had since having Lumie. No

1:04:28

constipation. No major breakouts. I felt

1:04:31

energized. No cramps. Like I have

1:04:33

not experienced an ovulation like that

1:04:35

since 2022. Maybe even before that,

1:04:37

I don't know. And so cycle

1:04:40

sinking and eating for your cycle

1:04:42

is really, really, really beautiful. And

1:04:44

then, yeah, I guess just some

1:04:46

other things that have come up

1:04:49

for me with Venus Retrograde is

1:04:51

just buying some new skin care

1:04:53

products, which I haven't also done

1:04:55

in so long. I bought a

1:04:57

couple of different things to try.

1:05:00

Last night, Hanu and I did

1:05:02

face mask nights, which she loved.

1:05:04

Like, Hanu, she just loves it.

1:05:06

She loves spa activities. Like, on

1:05:09

mine and you, so's wedding day,

1:05:11

which was very, very, very simple,

1:05:13

very simple, but Hanu. Not me,

1:05:15

I was the bride, but I

1:05:18

didn't do anything. I put a

1:05:20

face mask on Hanu and cucumbers

1:05:22

on her eyes wrapped a towel

1:05:24

around her head and gave her

1:05:27

feet a warm Epsom salt bath.

1:05:29

We have a photo of this

1:05:31

little Hanu in her spa, her

1:05:33

spa glory, and you as one

1:05:35

are just sitting there getting ready

1:05:38

to go to our little wedding.

1:05:40

Hanu went all ready. So

1:05:42

yeah, I bought a new face

1:05:45

mask and a couple of other

1:05:47

things that I just felt one

1:05:49

day I just heard it's important

1:05:52

to now focus on your face

1:05:54

like like your cleanser and It's

1:05:57

an oil-based cleanser. I'm loving right

1:05:59

now this brand called epicutists. I've

1:06:01

only used it for a

1:06:03

week so I can't really

1:06:05

give raving reviews yet but

1:06:07

so far I really love

1:06:10

their lipid serum and their

1:06:12

cleanser and right now when

1:06:14

I look down at my

1:06:16

body I'm not wearing yoga

1:06:18

tights. Bless that! Hallelujah! I'm

1:06:20

wearing white pants and a

1:06:22

white linen top and it

1:06:24

feels good. It really feels

1:06:26

so good! Yesterday is the

1:06:28

last day that I wear

1:06:30

black yoga tights. I proclaimed

1:06:32

that. I said, unless I'm exercising

1:06:34

or going for a walk, these

1:06:36

black yoga tights are not getting

1:06:38

on these legs. They are done.

1:06:40

They're done. They're done. I

1:06:42

also replaced my black bag for

1:06:44

a white bag because I just

1:06:46

felt like the energy of this

1:06:49

felt like a shadow. It's like

1:06:51

black clothing right now or the

1:06:53

yoga tights and the... the black

1:06:55

bag I said to you so

1:06:57

it feels like a shadow like

1:06:59

a blocked solar plexus where I've

1:07:02

just been in the shadow of

1:07:04

the light that wants to come

1:07:06

through I've been in the shadow

1:07:08

Ashley has been in the shadow

1:07:10

so yeah little changes that have

1:07:13

felt really really really good

1:07:15

and it has felt like

1:07:17

an act of devotion to

1:07:19

this body as a temple

1:07:21

truly and so that's it

1:07:23

For today, that is it.

1:07:25

Have you gone through as

1:07:27

many changes as I have

1:07:30

gone through this eclipse

1:07:32

season? Wowsers! Spiritual

1:07:36

detox. Yeah,

1:07:38

spiritual detox. What

1:07:41

is one small act of devotion you can

1:07:43

offer your body today? Not from pressure, not

1:07:45

from how are you going to show up,

1:07:48

but just from love. Like what are you

1:07:50

being called to that maybe you're not paying

1:07:52

attention to or that you're making excuses? Like

1:07:54

I was called to Bailey's app and I

1:07:56

was making excuses and now I could just

1:07:58

bow down to her. I just love

1:08:00

her workouts so much. I love

1:08:03

her workouts so much. I'm gonna

1:08:05

order some of her active wear

1:08:07

line to, she has like these

1:08:10

tights in the dune color. I

1:08:12

don't have to exercise in black

1:08:14

tights. I can wear. a

1:08:16

light color to match this

1:08:18

energy. That's what I'm doing

1:08:21

today. Okay, that's my act

1:08:23

of devotion today. That's my

1:08:25

thing that I'm doing, creating

1:08:27

space, making my space cozy.

1:08:29

It's gonna be exercising in

1:08:31

light colored tights. What are you

1:08:34

gonna do today for yourself?

1:08:36

Are you gonna join guided?

1:08:38

Maybe you're coming to guided.

1:08:40

1:08:42

1:08:45
