Hello and welcome to to the

0:04

first of 2025. 2025. I just

0:06

I just came out of

0:09

a meditation. I went

0:11

in with the intention intention asking

0:13

what are are the themes? that

0:16

this community, everyone that listens to this

0:18

podcast, the things we're gonna be talking

0:20

about on this podcast, what

0:22

are the themes for 2025? themes for 2025?

0:24

And I was in meditation for about 20

0:27

minutes. I had my 20 I wrote

0:29

them down as they came in and

0:31

I ended up with nine, as they which

0:33

I thought was interesting. I'm like, hmm,

0:35

nine, that's an interesting number. I thought

0:37

maybe eight or 10, I'm like, hmm, nine. That's an

0:39

But then I number. I thought is

0:41

a nine But then I realize zero

0:44

a two Two five is nine.

0:46

plus So So themes that were channeled

0:48

down this morning. These are

0:50

in no particular order. order. I'd

0:52

love to know which ones

0:54

resonate most with you. all

0:56

Maybe all of them, maybe

0:58

some of them. Take a show

1:00

of the show notes where

1:02

I have them all listed

1:04

in circle or highlight or write, which Which

1:06

ones were the big ones

1:09

for you? you're like, like, that one's, that for

1:11

me. for me. I would I would say of of

1:13

these are for me in many ways and

1:15

all of them are for the show. I'm

1:17

gonna be interested to see what guests we

1:19

have, what comes out of

1:21

the coaching call, given these themes

1:23

as a foundation. a foundation. So with

1:25

no further I'm I'm gonna dive

1:27

in. Again, these are in

1:30

no particular order. It's just

1:32

as they came in. just as

1:34

they Number one, being with what

1:36

is. having the than having the

1:38

urge to fix it. is

1:40

figure it out. this

1:42

started This is a big

1:44

one. this started year last year in

1:46

the show. It started to be

1:48

a big theme of realizing that

1:51

so many of us are so

1:53

committed to the personal growth journey

1:55

journey that we unconsciously pick

1:57

up this pattern of of

2:00

always having something to work

2:02

on, figure out, or fix.

2:04

And that's noble in many

2:06

ways and helpful in many

2:08

ways, but what we skip

2:10

over is compassion. And I

2:12

feel like what we're learning

2:14

this year, what we're really

2:16

integrating this year, is to

2:18

be with something that's undesirable,

2:20

hard, whatever. and be with

2:22

it with compassion and acceptance.

2:25

And that not triggering the

2:27

fear of, but if I

2:29

don't do something, it's going

2:31

to last this way forever.

2:33

I think that's where many

2:35

of us get stuck and

2:37

where many of us go

2:39

back into the loop of,

2:41

I'm a problem, this is

2:43

a problem I need to

2:45

solve. So what we're learning

2:47

how to embody this year

2:49

is an of courseness. Of

2:51

course I'm feeling this way.

2:53

I'm making a huge change

2:55

in our lives right now.

2:57

Huge. I can't believe that

2:59

we're doing it in many

3:02

ways. It feels scary, it

3:04

feels unfamiliar, I'm right in

3:06

the thick of it right

3:08

now, and there's fear and

3:10

there's doubt, and I can

3:12

feel my mind going, does

3:14

that mean we shouldn't do

3:16

it? But then I come

3:18

back to, of course I'm

3:20

feeling scared. Of course I'm

3:22

grieving what I'm losing. Of

3:24

course I have stress about

3:26

this. And doubt, of course.

3:28

And just being with that

3:30

of courseness and letting that

3:32

nurture my nervous system, rather

3:34

than making it mean anything

3:36

or thinking I have to

3:38

make the doubt go away.

3:41

So that's my invitation. Instead

3:43

of continuing to try to

3:45

make the bad feelings go

3:47

away, can you normalize them?

3:49

Can you meet them with

3:51

compassion? Meet them with of

3:53

courseness and not go into,

3:55

but that's complacency. You will

3:57

find when you meet those

3:59

feelings with... compassion and with

4:01

acceptance, your nervous system will

4:03

start to regulate. You will

4:05

go more into that parasympathetic

4:07

state and it's that place,

4:09

it's from that place, that's

4:11

going to be a much

4:13

better way to move through

4:15

your life. Remember not everything

4:18

is a problem you need

4:20

to solve, especially yourself. Number

4:22

two, rewiring your nervous system and

4:25

thoughts. You're gonna be hearing a

4:27

lot more from me on nervous

4:29

system. I just got another training

4:31

in neurosomatic intelligence. I feel like

4:33

nervous system work is such the

4:35

core of rewiring and reshaping our

4:38

subconscious because as you know, So

4:40

many things are driven by our

4:42

subconscious. I was driving with a

4:44

client yesterday and he was talking

4:46

about, you know, I don't I

4:49

don't feel like my inner child

4:51

impacts me in any way. I'm

4:53

like, well, consciously you don't, but

4:55

I can give you several examples

4:57

that I know of working with

5:00

you for two years now of

5:02

where it's definitely been active. It's

5:04

just a subconscious thing. And one

5:06

of the ways we access our

5:08

subconscious is through our nervous system

5:10

and through really responding to our

5:13

thoughts in a different way because

5:15

our subconscious has programming. So we

5:17

start to unravel that, we start

5:19

to rewire our brain when we

5:21

respond differently to our thoughts. We

5:24

can always control our thoughts, or

5:26

the first thought, but we can

5:28

control how we respond to that

5:30

thought. And I'm sure many of

5:32

you can relate to being on

5:35

a thought spiral. A fear thought

5:37

comes in, a doubt thought comes

5:39

in, a self-deprecating thought comes in,

5:41

and then, oof, you're just on

5:43

that train. And so the rewiring

5:45

that I'm talking about is when

5:48

you literally say out loud or

5:50

inside, stop, this is not the

5:52

direction I want to go with

5:54

my mind. And then ask yourself,

5:56

how do I want to feel

5:59

instead? and really do

6:01

feeling words. You know, I want

6:03

to go, well, I want to

6:05

stop stressing about this. Give me

6:07

a feeling words. Would you feel

6:10

relief? Would you feel peace? Okay,

6:12

what is a story I would

6:14

need to tell myself and what

6:16

are the thoughts I would need

6:18

to believe to feel that thought?

6:21

And then go down that thought

6:23

train. So it's like, literally, your

6:25

brain is on a thought train

6:27

given your subconscious programming. And as

6:29

you're rising in consciousness as you're

6:32

doing all this work, as you're

6:34

evolving, as you're stepping into the

6:36

energy of this new year, you

6:38

are able to notice that, say,

6:40

whoa, stop, I talk about this

6:43

in expectation hangover when we're reprogramming

6:45

the mind. And PS, you can

6:47

always get the audible version of

6:49

expectation hangover where I go to

6:52

great depth on changing emotionally, mentally,

6:54

behaviorally, and spiritually. I recorded the

6:56

audio version this past year for

6:58

the 10-year anniversary in my voice.

7:00

You can pick that up at

7:03

Audible. So anyway, we go back

7:05

to the whoa. This is not

7:07

the direction I want to go.

7:09

How do I want to feel

7:11

instead? What would I need to

7:14

think, believe? What's the story I

7:16

would need to tell myself to

7:18

feel that way? And then what's

7:20

one small action step I could

7:22

take to reinforce this way of

7:25

thinking and feeling? Rewiring takes conscious

7:27

effort. It is not a quick

7:29

fix. It is going to the

7:31

gym and doing your reps. I

7:33

highly encourage you to commit to

7:36

rewire in your mind this year,

7:38

which will consequently rewire your nervous

7:40

system when you can stop that

7:42

thought train that creates that downward

7:44

spiral and that gets you disregulated.

7:47

Wow, what an empowering shift. Number

7:49

three. Awareness of ego. This surprised

7:51

me when it came in. I

7:53

was like, what do you mean

7:55

by that? And then more was

7:58

revealed in terms of when we're

8:00

in high ego and when we're

8:02

in low ego. So low ego

8:04

can look like feeling insecure. being

8:06

really hard on ourselves, but it

8:09

can also look like almost look

8:11

at me. A lot of people

8:13

that are really posty and maybe

8:15

really glowy on Instagram, you may

8:17

think, oh wow, they're so confident,

8:20

but I would venture to suspect

8:22

that that's actually low ego and

8:24

it's a compensatory thing. So notice

8:26

when you are in that more

8:28

low ego. and you're compensating by

8:31

trying to be more than or

8:33

you're continuing to deflate yourself by

8:35

telling yourself lots of stories about

8:37

how you're not enough. And oftentimes

8:39

we're in high ego when we

8:42

have a sense of entitlement, when

8:44

we think we're better, when we

8:46

think we deserve something and we

8:48

all deserve certain things, but when

8:50

we have that kind of righteous,

8:53

holier-than-now attitude. Entitlement is a big

8:55

thing that moves us away from

8:57

being connected to others as a

8:59

spiritual being When we're in a

9:01

high ego or low ego But

9:04

we can really feel it when

9:06

we're in high There's a sense

9:08

of separation from everyone else and

9:10

it's almost like a protection of

9:13

like well if I'm better and

9:15

I'm just over here and I'm

9:17

entitled then I'm in my own

9:19

island and low ego is kind

9:21

of the same thing It's like

9:24

of why I'm in my insecure

9:26

island over here. No one can

9:28

hurt me So an ego is

9:30

important, we all have ego, but

9:32

we want to just have an

9:35

awareness of when we're bouncing between

9:37

that high and low ego and

9:39

come into what I call more

9:41

of a neutral ego, which I

9:43

define as having radical self-acceptance, radical

9:46

self-acceptance, and awareness of how we

9:48

are connected to everything and everyone

9:50

else. And we are no less

9:52

or no more than anyone. The

9:54

other thing I'll say about that

9:57

is noticing when someone else is

9:59

in higher low ego and not

10:01

letting that zingu or to you.

10:03

So someone might be in low

10:05

ego and they might prey on

10:08

your guilt. You might do things

10:10

out of obligation. You may go

10:12

into pity, which is a form

10:14

of judgment. Someone might be in

10:16

high ego and you might feel

10:19

less than. So be aware of

10:21

it in yourself and be aware

10:23

of it in others. And this

10:25

is kind of a preview for

10:27

another point, but when someone is

10:30

in that high or low ego

10:32

and there's like an overing or

10:34

an undering in any way. You

10:36

just wanted to notice how that

10:38

feels in your body. And generally

10:41

when someone's coming from either one

10:43

of those places, it doesn't feel

10:45

safe. Number four, remembering and connecting

10:47

to who you are as a

10:49

spiritual being, I feel like this

10:52

has been on our agenda, our

10:54

human agenda, for a long, long

10:56

time. But this is becoming even

10:58

more important. I feel like 2020

11:00

and COVID and that whole time

11:03

period. was a huge record scratch.

11:05

And there was a big division.

11:07

A lot of people went into

11:09

fear, and a lot of people

11:11

went into love, and there was

11:14

just a lot of separation. And

11:16

even politics, the election, there's just

11:18

been a lot of separation. And

11:20

any time there's separation and division

11:22

in the human level, it reinforces

11:25

subconsciously the story that we're separated

11:27

from all that is. And so

11:29

a remembering of who you are

11:31

as a spiritual being, a remembering

11:33

of your and eight intelligence, a

11:36

remembering of your intuition, your knowing.

11:38

Now the pyramids were built so

11:40

many thousands, millions of years ago,

11:42

like knowing how physics works, knowing

11:45

how to build these incredible structures,

11:47

how did they know they were

11:49

tapped in? to all that is

11:51

to divine knowing and We have

11:53

replaced that with Google and YouTube

11:56

and so my invitation to you

11:58

is to set an intention to

12:00

reconnect to yourself as a divine

12:02

being to go up rather than

12:04

out for information. Because that is

12:07

where you're going to get your

12:09

best guidance. Number five, less screen

12:11

time and more scene time. There

12:13

was a meme that was going

12:15

around on Instagram, I don't know,

12:18

a week or two ago, and

12:20

it was showing the percentage of

12:22

time we spend with different people

12:24

and different... ways, family, friends, school,

12:26

work, you know, restaurants, online, that

12:29

there were like 10 categories. I

12:31

can't remember exactly, but 50, 60

12:33

years ago, family was number one.

12:35

Friends was a close second. Church

12:37

was up there. School was up

12:40

there work. And by the 2000s,

12:42

2010s, online became the place where

12:44

we spend the most time. That

12:46

doesn't feel right in my body.

12:48

that we're spending so much time

12:51

on our devices, so much time

12:53

on screens. And so my invitation

12:55

to you is to set an

12:57

attention to have more seen a

12:59

time where you're seeing people and

13:02

you're being seen, you're with other

13:04

human beings, you are interacting with

13:06

people, you are making an effort

13:08

to visit friends even if they

13:10

live far away, see your family.

13:13

come to live events. It's one

13:15

of the reasons Steph and I

13:17

are so excited about the Art

13:19

of Sacred Living Retreat. We're hosting

13:21

in Boone the last weekend in

13:24

March. We're calling it from Woons

13:26

to Wisdom. It's just, now that

13:28

I'm seeing this list, we're gonna

13:30

be doing a lot of what's

13:32

on this list. It's gonna be

13:35

an incredibly powerful and loving retreat.

13:37

It's for men and women. It's

13:39

not something we've done before, so

13:41

it'll be new. It'll be breath

13:43

work, there'll be some inner child

13:46

work, but in different ways than

13:48

we've done before. And it's just

13:50

going to be a really nurturing

13:52

way to reprogram yourself, because I

13:54

do believe that the work can

13:57

be done gently. We don't have

13:59

to force and yell and scream

14:01

and have these, you know, big

14:03

peak breakthroughs that the subtle reparenting,

14:05

reprogramming work where we're connecting to

14:08

not only to our inner child

14:10

but to the divine is where

14:12

it's at. So come join us

14:14

there. If you want to, it's

14:17

christinehaster.com/retreat. It's only $375, a very,

14:19

very reasonable price. But make an

14:21

intention for scene time. We'd love

14:23

to be part of your scene

14:25

time. Find other ways to do

14:28

it. Maybe instead of an online

14:30

course, you do an in-person event

14:32

or you at least do a

14:34

course where there is live interaction

14:36

with other people. All right, number

14:39

six. This one also when it

14:41

came in I thought it's just

14:43

just for me because I have

14:45

a young child and spirit was

14:47

like nope this is for everybody

14:50

Guiding the youngest generation and helping

14:52

them not forget who they are

14:54

and how connected they are to

14:56

the spirit world We are the

14:58

bridge generation I feel the generation

15:01

between more that 3D kind of

15:03

separate from God a lot of

15:05

wounding around religion and religion programming

15:07

to these light beams, this new

15:09

generation of kids that are coming

15:12

in awake and connected. Many of

15:14

them haven't been to this planet

15:16

before. And they have a lot

15:18

of work to do. If you

15:20

think of the planet and the

15:23

systems that are collapsing and just

15:25

what's ahead, they have. big agenda

15:27

and they chose to come in

15:29

and so what I'm finding in

15:31

with my own child and talking

15:34

to lots of moms and just

15:36

what I'm feeling intuitively is they're

15:38

coming in with less karma. They're

15:40

really calling us forward to clear

15:42

our generational patterns and they they

15:45

need us to help them. Remember

15:47

not to forget, right? The veil

15:49

between them and the spirit world

15:51

is still very thin. It's not

15:53

even there when they're first born.

15:56

But by seven, I've heard, it

15:58

tends to come all the way

16:00

down unless there are people that

16:02

help little ones stay connected. And

16:04

what does that look like? It

16:07

looks like talking about God, Jesus,

16:09

angels, whatever spiritual words, the kids

16:11

that you're drawn to are most

16:13

likely going to be connected to

16:15

what you're connected to but mostly

16:18

asking them a lot of questions

16:20

a lot of questions like my

16:22

daughter when she goes to sleep

16:24

I ask her who do you

16:26

feels in here with us right

16:29

now and she's like well bear

16:31

and the angels that help me

16:33

sleep and I'm like oh wow

16:35

tell me about them So just

16:38

being curious, asking questions, helping them

16:40

connect and stay connected to their

16:42

magic. And this goes for you

16:44

as parents, and this goes for

16:46

any of you that our child

16:49

lists, aunties, uncles, by blood or

16:51

by friendship, volunteer work, any kid

16:53

that you interact with, even just,

16:55

I make an intention of when

16:57

I see a child. I look

17:00

into their eyes, and I don't

17:02

say it out loud because I

17:04

don't want to freak out the

17:06

parents, and I just look into

17:08

their eyes, and I see you,

17:11

I see your magic, I see

17:13

your power, or whatever comes through.

17:15

Again, I'm doing this internally, but

17:17

I notice when I lock eyes

17:19

with the child and do that,

17:22

they feel it. So there's ways

17:24

that we can be those light

17:26

workers and those light bears to

17:28

nurture this next generation into this

17:30

earthly plane without losing their spiritual

17:33

connection. Number seven, things ending that

17:35

aren't in alignment, even if you

17:37

think that There could be a

17:39

lot of breakups this year, a

17:41

lot of moves, a lot of

17:44

dissolution of friendships, of businesses, of

17:46

career paths, of jobs. The image

17:48

that came to mind when this

17:50

came in, the meditation was the

17:52

tower card. And that card is

17:55

all about, you know, things dying,

17:57

things falling apart, things... ending. It

17:59

can almost feel like the rugs

18:01

being yanked from beneath your feet

18:03

kind of change, but it's a

18:06

collapse to rebuild, to go in

18:08

a different direction. And so I'm

18:10

going to ask that you become

18:12

acutely aware of your discernment and

18:14

all these other things that we've

18:17

talked about, you know, remembering yourself

18:19

as a spiritual being, being connected

18:21

to the more seen world versus

18:23

being on the internet. rewiring your

18:25

nervous system, all these things are

18:28

going to help you have clearer

18:30

vision and really feel into if

18:32

something's resonating with you. I mean

18:34

there could be something that looks

18:36

really really good like it's an

18:39

amazing opportunity or it's someone on

18:41

social media that has lots of

18:43

followers and like it seems great

18:45

but something your body's like no,

18:47

no, or you're in a relationship

18:50

and you just know. It's a

18:52

no. A friendship, whatever. Really, really.

18:54

Trust your body, trust your intuition,

18:56

trust that this is a year

18:58

of recalibration. But if you keep

19:01

Rose-colored glasses on, if you keep

19:03

yourself in deception, if you're not

19:05

honest with yourself, it's just gonna

19:07

take a lot longer to get

19:10

to what is in more alignment.

19:12

And remember, in change, in change.

19:14

There's free fall, you know when

19:16

an object changes from one to

19:18

the next there's chaos in between

19:21

It's not like this. Oh, I

19:23

leap off the mountain and this

19:25

white fluffy cloud catches me and

19:27

it's just so Wonderful. No, it's

19:29

scary. I'm in a big leap

19:32

of faith right now, and it

19:34

is scary. And there's a part

19:36

of me that just wants to

19:38

go back to the old and

19:40

the familiar. But in my core

19:43

and my gut, I know and

19:45

I trust that I'm in a

19:47

tower, that things need to shift

19:49

to bring new energy in. Number

19:51

eight, you're gonna be dealing with

19:54

your health in a different way.

19:56

You're gonna be coming at it.

19:58

from more of a grounded place

20:00

and more of a root cause

20:02

place. When I tuned into this,

20:05

it feels like a lot of

20:07

you are throwing a lot of

20:09

noodles against the wall to figure

20:11

out health stuff, whether it's pain

20:13

or chronic illness. And this year

20:16

is really about going into your

20:18

subconscious, your intuition, your memory, going

20:20

in somatically to your body. and

20:22

getting to the root cause of

20:24

whatever health challenge you're having because

20:27

most of the time health challenge

20:29

is connected to a trauma to

20:31

an emotional event that created a

20:33

belief or like an exposure to

20:35

something. And so this year is

20:38

really opening up the possibility to

20:40

get to root cause. But what's

20:42

going to be really important for

20:44

you in that is you stop

20:46

doing all the throwing the noodles

20:49

against the wall and running from

20:51

practitioner to practitioner and trying to

20:53

find the person that can heal

20:55

you. Once you get really clear,

20:57

once you get to that root

21:00

cause, then the right people will

21:02

appear if needed. You might be

21:04

able to heal it yourself. I

21:06

completely believe in that. you know,

21:08

we live in an interdependent world,

21:11

if there is someone that you

21:13

need, want to work with that's

21:15

most aligned once you get clear

21:17

on that root cause, with an

21:19

of courseness, with of course, you

21:22

know, of course I'm still dealing

21:24

with IBS, you know, I remember

21:26

being three years old and hearing

21:28

my... arguing and hiding under my

21:30

bed and being scared and you

21:33

know swallowing all my feelings because

21:35

I didn't want them to hear

21:37

me crying. So when we get

21:39

to that deep of root cause

21:42

and we can deal with it

21:44

on the emotional level, then we're

21:46

in the vibration of what what

21:48

really is up for healing and

21:50

often the right practitioners come forward.

21:53

And number nine, which is one

21:55

of my favorites is play. Play,

21:57

play, play. As adults, we have

21:59

forgotten how to play. We really

22:01

have. I know when I was

22:04

doing my inner child work initially

22:06

20 years ago, my friend was

22:08

like, come on, let's be little

22:10

girls, let's play. And I felt

22:12

so wonky and awkward. I just

22:15

didn't know what to do. But

22:17

as I've done more inner child

22:19

work, I really connected more to

22:21

my play and especially having a

22:23

daughter now. And just being silly,

22:26

like I was walking around with

22:28

a blanket over my head, pretending

22:30

I was Santa. And she thought

22:32

it was hilarious. And that kind

22:34

of play, oh, it's so good

22:37

for your serotonin levels. It's so

22:39

good for your health. It's so

22:41

good for the people that you're

22:43

connected with. It's so good for

22:45

your inner child. It's just good

22:48

all over. So play, play, play,

22:50

be silly. Let yourself be silly.

22:52

Oh, and there's one thing I

22:54

forgot on the tower piece, the

22:56

things that are not in alignment,

22:59

the breakup. I'm a queen of

23:01

getting over breakups, because I've had

23:03

so many. And so I've come

23:05

up with a breakup guide that's

23:07

totally free for you. It's detoxing

23:10

your X. It's a guided way

23:12

to get back into the unconditional

23:14

love that you are. So you

23:16

stop feeling graspy for that love

23:18

you, quote unquote lost. and there's

23:21

really practical ways to nourish and

23:23

nurture yourself. You just grab it

23:25

at christinehaster.com/break up, breakthrough. I'll put

23:27

that link in the show notes

23:29

along with the link to the

23:32

retreat. All right, so there you

23:34

have it. Number one, being with

23:36

23:38

fix. Number two. Rewiring
