Welcome to the Souly Podcast. Intuitive mediums Payton and Shayla invite you to join us in our conversation

0:10

exploring the world of spirituality.

0:13

In a heart centered way, we explore many topics and share our

0:16

intuitive gifts with all of you. Open hearts, open minds, and a curious nature is all you need to listen in.

0:23

Let's grow together as we expand our knowledge and try to

0:25

make the world a better place. This is Souly.

0:32

All right. Welcome back everyone to another episode of Souly both Shayla and I are here and

0:39

excited to connect with all of you again.

0:42

How are you doing Shayla? I'm doing really good.

0:45

Like I was telling you before we got on the call, it's been like Crazy two weeks.

0:49

It's been a lot of good stuff and it's been a lot of emotional stuff

0:52

And I think probably a lot of people at the beginning of September.

0:54

It's a lot So I had birthdays for my kids date like back to back.

0:59

So one on the 10th and 11th I started school which I talked about in the

1:03

last episode It's going really good.

1:08

It's actually And so fun because the way that this person

1:12

teaches is very out of the box.

1:14

Like there's the inbox thinking, right? Like the typical things you need to know.

1:17

And then there's also like the out of the box thinking.

1:19

So day two, he's teaching us how to read auras.

1:23

So I was like, I'm in the right place. Yeah.

1:26

A hundred percent. Yeah. So that was fun.

1:29

yeah, were some of those teachings, because that's something you've always.

1:32

Um, and it's kind of naturally. So, where's their ways that he taught that, that.

1:38

we're similar to what you had experienced or something that, made you think

1:43

about things in a different way. I would say it was very similar to what I initially learned.

1:49

I think I was mostly just excited that someone was even like talking about that.

1:54

And I know like, as the classes go deeper and we start to do more like

1:57

hands on stuff, it's going to be even more in depth kind of thing,

2:01

but yeah, I've done like Dougall Fraser's, color certificate and I've

2:05

done my own work with different things. So it is one of those subjects you could really like deeply go into.

2:11

And I guess where. Each year we have like a special project that we have to do kind of training around

2:18

like the industry massage or things that could be useful to like implementing it

2:22

or new thoughts towards it kind of thing. So one of the things I want to do for that is actually bring in the Claire's

2:29

and aura readings or like just for energy connection into that and explain more

2:34

because when he's talking, I'm like, this is the language of spirit, like, and

2:38

that's what you know, everyone has energy. A different way to explain it.

2:42

Sometimes it's very religious, but it's like, oh, you're

2:44

talking to God or hearing God. And it's like, well, that spirit.

2:48

Right. And then even when he's talking and like, oh, that spirit, they just, you

2:51

know, I think what's been so great about the way we've learned things.

2:55

And there's so much, so many different ways, but just the language of

2:58

spirit where you're like, okay, here are the Claire's and you can

3:00

divide them and understand like where you're getting those pings of like.

3:04

Feelings or hearing things or seeing things from and just develop it more.

3:08

So yeah, I'm excited to hopefully do a project on that and kind of implement it

3:13

into that kind of give the class a more like understanding of that kind of thing.

3:17

And like, hopefully kind of run people's viewpoint on that or just to discover

3:21

it right kind of thing so but it's really exciting because there is so

3:25

much out of the box thinking that it's just neat to see somebody implementing

3:29

that into massage because like I said before it's like our bodies they hold

3:34

so much trauma and stress and happiness.

3:36

And like, there's all these different things that are in the body and our

3:39

stories, like our life stories, I feel like, our body's really taken all of that.

3:43

And sometimes we're like, well, why am I feeling that? So, it'll be interesting to continue to see how it goes, but

3:48

I definitely feel like I'm in the right place, which is nice.

3:50

Yeah, for sure. That's interesting.

3:52

You brought up about, the language of spirit also known as the Claire's.

3:56

and that how many people and different faiths and different paths, talk about

4:02

that, but don't use that vocabulary, the way that we do in the spiritual space.

4:06

I have a client that I.

4:09

Cherish that's a hair client. And, she is leans more in the religious side.

4:15

I lean more in the spiritual side and we'd love to just have very,

4:19

we understand where each other is in their, in their world.

4:23

And we like to compare and contrast. and that came up, a few times with some other people too, that I've been

4:28

around that they're talking about things that I would call clear audience.

4:31

Oh, you heard it. You heard this voice.

4:33

You heard this, that you, you internally heard something that

4:36

gave you a knowing, you know, that you're clear cognizant, sir.

4:40

you know, these visions are things. So it is a bit fascinating how that is talked about amongst people

4:47

of all different, walks of faith.

4:49

But, you know, with the kind of work we do, we really dig in on how to

4:53

develop those and, and use those to better translate what is coming through.

5:00

and that kind of can take me down and we can go, we can get on this topic another

5:03

day, but it just takes me down this, road that is something that's been very

5:08

prevalent in my awareness lately is.

5:12

When it comes to all faiths that have ever existed, not just the big main ones

5:19

that we're all familiar with today, but man has had some sort of understanding

5:24

of God since the dawn of time.

5:27

what has been left, for us to know what has been left to understand that

5:32

connection, what has been left to us, whether in scrolls or books or

5:36

however, it's been, has been someone's interpretation of what they were

5:41

experiencing, you know, and, sometimes that interpretation has evolved over

5:48

time as we've gotten to understand things and, and all of that, but sometimes

5:52

those interpretations, uh, end up being very effective for a very long

5:58

period of time to where many cultures and many ways that it can even end up

6:02

seeping into the legal world of how, you know, people are governed and whatnot.

6:07

So, You know, and as a medium, as someone that interprets what it is I'm

6:12

being given and being shown, I'm at a point now that I've, you know, I think

6:17

this is a door everyone has to walk through where, you have to hit some

6:21

point where you are without any doubt that you are seeing something, you

6:25

might not be interpreting it correctly, but you were being shown something.

6:29

And this is not just in your mind. Yeah.

6:31

You know, that's some of my students that I'm working with.

6:34

That's kind of a point we're at now.

6:36

It's like we gotta get to that point where we build that confidence

6:39

to know that what you're being shown is you are seeing something.

6:42

Mm-Hmm. You might be misinterpreting it a little bit, but, the, you know,

6:45

you've learned how to navigate that. Yeah. So, and that's, that's.

6:49

Part of this path that will be, you know, I, as I walk this path, I know

6:54

that that's always going to be a part of it, that I'm aware that I'm just

6:57

trying to interpret it to the best of my ability and, you know, take everything I

7:01

say with a little bit of grain of salt, you know, um, if it makes sense, great.

7:05

So it's just interesting when you look.

7:08

To these, there's so many people in history that we've given so much faith in

7:13

that what they interpreted was exactly the way that they shared it or that it got, it

7:20

continued to be shared or recorded even.

7:23

I mean, things weren't even recorded until later in history,

7:26

it was all just word of mouth. Right. Which we know how that can go.

7:30

Exactly. The game of telephone.

7:32

So that's not to like. You know, just throw doubt over everything.

7:37

It's just like, I think that's an interesting way to help you grow in your

7:43

own faith, your own journey is to just be aware of that and think about that and

7:49

let that curiosity then be the breadcrumbs that maybe lead you to a deeper connection

7:55

to whatever it is that you're called to or whatever it is, is your faith.

7:58

to just question things a little bit. So I know that was a totally different direction than we thought we were

8:03

going, but, that is something that, has really been in my awareness.

8:07

And I think, I think that's, I don't know.

8:09

I just think that that's a really important reminder or a topic for those

8:15

of us that, you know, I think those of us that identify as spiritual, we

8:20

really like the idea of being open to, All possibilities and all avenues.

8:26

And I'm curious about that possibly changing and evolving as we go.

8:31

And I just, I don't know, I think that's important, especially as crazy as I mean,

8:36

life in the world is always crazy, so it's nothing new, but it's definitely

8:40

right now, uh, it's a fun journey. No, and Kind of rewinding a little back to what you said too, there's things

8:47

that, we've been set to do or think or the way we think are supposed to

8:51

go based off of what you're saying. And I think it can take a lot of trust in ourselves.

8:57

Like for example, when we're diving into doing mediumship or

9:00

readings or things like that. It takes a lot of trust in ourselves to have the courage to say what we're seeing

9:07

or thinking or feeling when it comes to Claire's when it comes to anything,

9:11

but when it comes to focusing more on the Claire's, I would say like that can

9:13

feel really uncomfortable because we've been taught to not trust ourselves.

9:16

I feel in society.

9:18

It's like we give, we allow other people's voices to determine, you

9:22

know, You know, how we live our own thought process and stuff like that.

9:25

So that's definitely, you know, when you go into the spiritual realm

9:28

and I mean, it doesn't have to be mediumship, it could be other things too.

9:31

Right. But it's really, that's like where the inner work comes or learning to trust

9:36

ourselves and to question ourselves and our belief systems and all of that.

9:39

And it's just like, It's a rabbit hole, right?

9:41

Like, it can really go, go down quite a bit, but it is,

9:46

and I think so many of us and there's obviously many different

9:51

players involved that can cause this.

9:54

But so many of us have this idea that we're not worthy enough of it.

10:00

You know, whether it's we have a colorful past that does not align with, you know,

10:05

what we were supposed to do or follow or, who we are doesn't align with what

10:11

is said to be right or wrong or whatever.

10:14

The many reasons, or we just had a traumatic, had some trauma growing up and

10:19

experiences that led us to feel unworthy.

10:22

But I, I think we all have to navigate that.

10:25

And I think you can apply that to more arenas than just trying to

10:29

hear, you know, the guidance from the spirit world or, I don't know if that

10:33

just applies in the spiritual case. I think I can, I think this goes for a lot of things, but, when you get to a

10:39

point that you finally realize that, you know, we are all equal and we are all

10:43

worthy of it, You'll be amazed what can come through and what kind of information

10:48

you'll start to connect with and that feeling you'll start to connect with and

10:53

how incredibly healing that can be for you to heal those kinds of self worth issues.

10:58

Yeah, absolutely. Okay.

11:01

I don't want to forget. spooky season. So, and I'm on us.

11:05

Yes. So I think it was our last episode where we.

11:10

We're talking about submission for stories for spooky stories.

11:13

So we have a Google voice account where you can go and leave a message

11:18

and tell us your spooky story. it can be anything like UFOs, spiritual experiences that are more

11:25

like on the line of a little bit.

11:27

weird or creepy just because we're keeping it in theme with Halloween.

11:31

And then also if you want to, if like the Google voicing is not

11:35

something you want to do, you can also submit through email as well.

11:39

You can send us a voice memo or if you want to even just email us

11:42

your story, we can read it as well. we would love to hear your voice, but I understand that's not always

11:47

in the comfort zone for everybody. So we're open to other submissions as well.

11:52

And yeah, we want to hear your stories because you know, Halloween

11:55

is coming up soon It's fascinating to hear other people's experiences

12:00

to like, I have been listening for probably a year now to spooky stories.

12:05

One of my favorites is spooked, which I've mentioned before, just because

12:09

I love the way it's put together with music and all that stuff.

12:11

But it's so interesting to hear other people's perspectives and stories and

12:15

be like, okay, like, What could that be?

12:17

Like, that's like one of the things that helps me to question the world.

12:22

It's those kind of like weird experiences where you're like, well, I can't quite

12:25

figure out what that is, or I won't ever necessarily know for certain what

12:29

it is, but it really opens the mind.

12:32

And for me, listening to scary stories and spooky things like

12:34

that, or paranormal stuff. I feel like it's really opened my belief system to different things, even over the

12:41

last couple of years where I was like, Oh, I think this is how it is supposed to be.

12:44

But hearing other people's stories, I'm like, you know what? Maybe I'm wrong.

12:47

Like maybe there is something different that I, you know, I

12:51

don't know about kind of thing. So. Yeah. Exploring the fear.

12:54

Yes. Yeah. Absolutely.

12:58

And if you cannot figure out how to send us a voice memo or anything, just

13:03

reach out to either Shayla or I, and we will figure out a way to get, your

13:08

voice on our show to share your story. So, there's many different, ways,

13:13

All right. Okay. And then another thing I wanted to mention, just as like a side life

13:17

story, and it also pertains to spiritual stuff too, I have been off caffeine

13:22

mostly for probably a month now.

13:25

Okay. And some of the things I've experienced has been interesting.

13:29

So I was having a lot of anxiety and heart palpitations, hard time

13:35

sleeping, just a hard time focusing.

13:39

And then I realized just kind of by accident, cause I stopped drinking coffee

13:42

for like a week, but I was actually starting to sleep better and I was

13:46

starting to not have this much anxiety. And that probably 90 percent of like my sleep issues, cause I get like these

13:53

crazy palpitations and breathing things was because I was drinking caffeine and.

13:58

Why I'm sharing this is because I've noticed as I've gone through different

14:03

spiritual phases in life and like meditation, different things like

14:06

that, I've noticed just in general, the last five or six years that my body is

14:11

more sensitive to certain substances. And like, whereas like six years ago I could drink like

14:18

five cups of coffee a day. I was like over the last five years, even just like one small cup of coffee a day.

14:24

And so I thought, you know what? I'm fine. Like, that's like just a little bit of caffeine, but I didn't realize how

14:29

sensitive my body had become to that.

14:32

And that it's like, you guys, it's a teacup essentially,

14:35

like it's a tiny bit of coffee. And today as an example, somebody in my house made regular coffee and I had

14:42

probably like Three tablespoons of it.

14:44

If I were to put it into measurement and I'm like vibrating right now.

14:48

So I like, where do I get that coffee?

14:55

I know it's just regular coffee. You just have to go off of it for a while, but that's something to

15:00

kind of like test out in your life. Cause I think sometimes we're so used to having these little, like things

15:05

that we do, these comfort things or little advices that we kind of lean on.

15:09

And as we, Are just more of aware like I think when you're in the spiritual realm

15:13

and you're discovering things meditation you start to become more aware of like

15:15

your energetic body, right and then it's also goes into your physical body and it

15:20

all affects one another and so sometimes you'd be surprised like the little things

15:25

that you do every day are the things that.

15:28

Maybe impacting you emotionally, physically, like all that stuff

15:31

spiritually more than you realize.

15:33

And I think caffeine was one of those things. I love coffee.

15:36

So this has been very sad for me. I switched to decaf, but that even still technically has traces of caffeine in it.

15:43

So yeah, I just wanted to share that because I'm like, I'm sure

15:46

other people are experiencing that. And it happened so subtly that I didn't really realize how much it was

15:52

affecting me and even alcohol too.

15:55

Like I've never really. I've been somebody who drinks a lot just because of, I just never felt

16:00

good in my body and also just certain things growing up with my dad, I think

16:03

I mentioned in the past, so it's just something I've stayed away from, but

16:07

I would still drink here and there. But even now it's like one sip and I'm like, my face turns red.

16:12

I feel like instantly sleepy.

16:15

I'm like, wow, I'm a lightweight. But like, I really feel like it has a lot to do with just that

16:20

energetics and body awareness. And yeah.

16:24

So if you're out there and you're drinking tons of coffee, like

16:26

just experiment and see if like, there's a shift with that because.

16:31

Like I said, like three tablespoons essentially. And I'm like all weird feeling and jittery.

16:36

And then I accidentally had, a latte, which had like espresso in it that I asked

16:41

for decaf, but it definitely was not. And that was insane.

16:45

I was like shaking and like, just like so full of anxiety.

16:49

So there's my life lesson.

16:51

I'm just wanting to share it with everybody. And yeah, it's crazy how little things like that.

16:57

Yeah, no, I think that's a great point to bring up.

17:00

I know I've shared on this show, like when I, started to want to

17:04

understand my spiritual gifts, um, in a way that I wanted to develop them.

17:10

Cause I, I wanted to use them to, you know, help others.

17:13

I had to get off of everything.

17:15

I still had. Caffeine.

17:18

I did back down quite a bit on that. I didn't get rid of it completely, but I needed to get, you know, I

17:23

had to get alcohol out of my system. I had to get everything out of my system so that I could figure

17:27

out how this stuff worked for me without like with a clean slate.

17:31

Right. As years have gone on and time has gone on and I've reintroduced certain

17:36

things slowly and surely, it's that same thing you just spoke about.

17:40

Like I can't handle it the way that I used to, it affects my

17:44

body the way it affects my days later, differently than it used to.

17:48

And I think, you will no doubt come in contact with people in the spiritual

17:53

world that say, you know, you need to not do this, not do that, that, that,

17:57

that you have to always live in this high vibration and blah, blah, blah, but.

18:01

You know, this is also life and we're here to be human and having a human experience.

18:07

So, you know, that's not a, that's not a real thing to live by.

18:11

But I think as you do become more in tune with yourself and you do become

18:14

more aware of yourself, you do notice how everything starts to affect you.

18:19

So differently, I even talk about, I'm like, is it because I'm aware

18:24

of it now, or is it because I'm more sensitive now, but even like, so, okay.

18:29

Today when we're, recording, I wasn't paying attention,

18:32

but I woke up this morning. I'm like, I have a little more energy today.

18:36

There's like some, there's something in the air today.

18:38

And then someone reminded me, Oh, tomorrow's a full moon and it's.

18:41

It's an eclipse. So it's a very powerful one.

18:43

Yeah. So I'm like, Oh, that's right. Oh, that must be why the energy feels different today.

18:48

So I'm, and I noticed now kind of that I do feel a little more

18:52

sensitive around the astrology. I think I've talked about that on.

18:55

So and again, is it like now because I'm paying attention or is it because now I

19:01

have a little more awareness around my energetic body and I'm, and I'm, and I'm

19:05

just actually noticing, Or what is it?

19:07

And I've said it on the show before. Someone said the price of sensitivity is sensitivity, you know, is,

19:13

you know, the more you develop, the more you're going to feel. So that's interesting.

19:16

I need to back down on coffee. I have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with it as of current.

19:23

And then soda, that's been my, like, once I did kind of move

19:26

alcohol off to the side, regular Coke is like my guilty pleasure.

19:32

That's what I want to order at a restaurant. That's like my little self help moment is like my fountain soda.

19:40

but I can, I've also can like relate to this and as I've shared, like

19:44

I've had to, uh, step away from my normal routine of exercise.

19:50

And, You know, I've had to navigate like how to kind of keep myself in a healthy

19:55

alignment, not having that type of healthy, way of, grounding or re centering

20:03

my energy or channeling my energy.

20:05

So, I'm glad you brought that up because I know I've had people share with

20:08

me, you know, they've had questions about, you know, is it okay to do this?

20:13

Is it okay to do this? And I'm like, well, you, you have to do what's, what's healthy and

20:17

what's, what's right for you. And, you know, you, if, if something affects you physically good, positive or,

20:23

or, or neutral, it's going to possibly have that same effect on any kind of

20:29

spiritual work you're wanting to do. You know, so you just need to be kind of aware of that.

20:35

Yeah, And even when you were talking about exercising, it's just like

20:39

everyone's so different, right? And that goes with spiritual care as well.

20:44

So no, nobody's just like the same.

20:46

And I know for me, like we talked about exercising.

20:49

I didn't mention this before. Like I was like, Oh, I'll do hot yoga.

20:52

I love it. It'll be amazing. And I actually fricking hate it.

20:55

I tried so hard to love it, but it was just like, Oh, I feel like crap.

20:58

Right. Like absolutely crap. Whereas my sister, yeah, my sister's just like, I love it.

21:02

I feel so good. I'm like, I have a headache.

21:05

I'm so fricking tired. Like. I can't do this.

21:08

Right. So we all have to just find our different ways of doing things.

21:11

And for some people, maybe coffee doesn't really affect them.

21:15

You know, that's fine. Or, right.

21:18

It's just like, it's so dependent on who you are in your belief system.

21:21

And you just have to experiment with it too. Right.

21:24

Like, like you said, like you eliminated all these things and kind of went back

21:28

and tried them to see how it felt for you. So, yeah,

21:31

I think it's a good reminder to that. If you aren't like, I mean, let's just use anxiety or, stress

21:38

or those things as an example. I think this could apply to anything.

21:41

If you're noticing an uptick in those types of feelings or certain types

21:45

of feelings, Obviously, if, if that means going, you know, you need to,

21:49

you need to find help and go to a doctor or whatever, obviously, yeah,

21:53

but also look at the, the, the world you live and the things that you expose

21:58

yourself to the things you intake. I don't think we realize how much dehydration affects us, how much

22:05

caffeine affects us, how much what's in our food affects us.

22:09

it is huge and it is hard. It is also a giant mountain to climb to like try to.

22:14

And as soon as you think you're doing something right, then something else

22:18

that you thought was okay, is now bad.

22:20

Yeah. So it's, it's a never ending battle and you can only do so much, but

22:24

if you can find something simple, like, let me try decaf for a while.

22:28

Let me, let me take coffee off my plate for a minute and see, is that bringing

22:32

any kind of change into my circumstances?

22:35

It's, you know, sometimes those little small things can make big steps.

22:39

Yeah, they really can. And let me tell you, I've been to all like.

22:43

These specialized doctor's appointments trying to figure out what's happening.

22:46

I'm like, Oh, I think it's like. The caffeine.

22:49

So, right. No, it's crazy.

22:52

Like you said, these ads for mushroom coffee and I'm just not there yet.

22:58

You know what? I think the mushroom coffee though has actual coffee in it.

23:01

Most of them, they just add a little extra boost.

23:06

Yeah. It's I think, and even like they have mushroom cocoa and

23:10

cocoa has caffeine in it too. So. You can try a little bit of mushroom.

23:17

We'll do another episode on mushrooms.

23:20

I actually know somebody in my city here that would be really

23:24

great to talk about mushrooms. I call him the mushroom man.

23:27

So I have to reach out to him. Okay.

23:30

So another thing that we're going to talk about today is I wanted to

23:34

share some of the things that my family did When saying goodbye to

23:39

my Gitos, my grandfather's house. So I've talked about this in previous episodes with some

23:43

of the grief aspect of things.

23:46

And I wanted to share this because we ended up doing some things

23:49

that were actually really fun that I never thought I would do.

23:52

I might actually share them on our Souly stories because

23:55

some of them are pretty funny. but I wanted to give these as even just like suggestions or little seeds of

24:01

thought to create your own memories and your own little legacy things and projects

24:06

within your own situation or your home or whatever thing you're going through.

24:10

So although this is going to pertain in my case to like letting go of my

24:16

grandfather's house, I think it could be used for other things too, especially

24:20

for those who are maybe saying goodbye to their home and just moving, but even

24:23

that can be heart wrenching as well.

24:26

So I know I've had moments like that, just you and me moving.

24:30

So I wanted share some of these things.

24:32

And you know, some of these things you may not want to do, but I'm

24:36

going to share them anyways. So one of the things that we did was we invited family over to the house.

24:41

So at this point. I think there's only like a table left and we, we still had a supper so we

24:46

just brought our own things and we had a pierogi dinner because we're Ukrainian

24:50

and that's something that's special to us.

24:52

So, bringing in a special meal and sharing it together.

24:56

And then along the lines of that too. For us, I have a lot of cousins, uh, most of them are younger, so

25:01

we kind of like two generations. We have a group of five or six of us, and then more kids came.

25:05

So some of my cousins are like 13, 14, 15 years apart from me, and some of my

25:09

kids are even closer in age with them. So it's a young group, and so what we did was we found some random things

25:15

in the house we never noticed before. So one of them that made us laugh was as an example, with this paper that was

25:21

put on all the kitchens, like, you know, the cupboards and stuff, and it was a

25:26

naked lady, and we had never noticed.

25:29

Oh my god, like lining the cabinets?

25:32

Yeah, and it was like, like never in all of these years, like, That

25:38

paper's been there since my mom was little, at least a teenager.

25:42

And we're like, who picked this out? I think Ido.

25:46

No, it was my baba. Really?

25:50

Funny, my grandma. So that was freaking hilarious.

25:52

And I don't know, it was kind of like an abstract type of situation.

25:56

So I'm not sure. She's so funny. I saw it initially, but it was more like an Adam Eve kind of thing.

26:01

So it was like Eve with an apple and she's, her boobies are

26:04

out, you know, that was funny.

26:07

But along the lines of that, we also found a laundry shoot that I think I

26:11

knew about it when I was younger, but it was one of those things where it was

26:13

like, nobody touch it kind of things. We forgot it was there.

26:16

And so we ended up doing this whole video parents on here.

26:20

I'll probably know what bathrooms is if you have like kids or, okay.

26:24

preteens or whatever. So they're like these haunted kind of creepy back rooms that

26:28

people make on like YouTube.

26:30

Sometimes they're real rooms and they just look creepy and

26:33

it's like a whole backstory. Kind of like creepy pasta, if anyone knows what that is, like creepy stories that

26:37

are kind of made up and stuff like that. And so we're like, Oh, let's make a back rooms video.

26:42

So it initially started with two of my sisters doing it.

26:45

And then they did this little camera trick where it looks like she's

26:47

going into this laundry slide.

26:50

It's like tiny, it's like the size of a So obviously she can't fit in it.

26:53

And then she drops down into this basement because it goes out of the basement.

26:58

And then, so we're like, okay, let's make a backrooms.

27:00

And so we, all of us, there's like, I think at least 12 of us or something.

27:04

And so we each split up our roles and then we have different things.

27:07

And so my sister went with the camera. And so we made this like haunted backrooms horror, like four minute video.

27:13

And it's so fricking funny, especially, you know, when you know the people, but

27:16

I think in general, it's pretty fun. Quite well done. So I'm going to have to share that on our Souly stories.

27:23

You can see it on there. And so just doing something fun like that creative because like when you

27:27

move out, your house is suddenly blank. There's nothing there.

27:30

In this case, if you have like an older home, especially if it hasn't been

27:34

renovated in like 30, 60 years, this house has a very distinct aesthetic.

27:39

There's shine carpet. You know, red carpet.

27:42

We have this tiki bar in the basement.

27:44

It was just this room that is so creepy.

27:48

It's like a blue room. Nobody likes to go in there ever.

27:50

It's super creepy, but it made a perfect.

27:53

place to be creative. So doing something like that was, it was really fun.

27:57

And now it's just like this memory that we have of the house together.

28:00

Right. So just being creative and getting together with the people you love, right.

28:04

Not necessarily the people you're not connected with, because we did kind

28:08

of at that moment, there's certain people that are a little bit closer

28:11

and we kind of created that space together, um, to have that last moment

28:15

kind of thing, and there's another beautiful picture I'll have to show.

28:18

It's the front. window. So one of my uncles was outside and we're all standing all

28:22

this cousins by the window. I took a picture and it's beautiful because the sunset is reflecting and

28:27

it's so beautiful and just I have to share it because it's so cool.

28:30

So look for that on our stories as well. so the next thing that we did was that we basically like we went outside.

28:38

And we looked around, my Gita was really into gardening, so we took plants that we

28:41

wanted to to transplant them, we collected seeds, little things like that, I talked

28:45

about how last time we connected with the tree, so we took little pieces of the

28:49

tree and the leaves and stuff like that to press flowers and leaves and stuff like

28:54

that, so just going around your home and collecting just little things that it.

28:58

You know, you're so used to always being around, but won't necessarily be there

29:01

and just doing little things like that.

29:04

So we're probably making little bookmarks, and just little things

29:06

like that with those flowers. And yeah, then it's a neat way, especially with the seeds to kind

29:11

of carry on that energy of that place and plant them next year.

29:15

So, we did that, we took little trinkets around from the house, the little

29:18

chandeliers, we just took a little piece of it, most likely in this situation,

29:22

depends on your situation, but I have a feeling this house is going to be

29:25

totally either knocked down or fully renovated, so we just took little

29:29

pieces, we had these like, beads from like the tiki room that kind of opened

29:34

the door and they're like these ugly chunky beads and we took some of those.

29:38

and yeah, even little pieces of the carpet, like silly things like that, but

29:42

you know, that are just special little trinkets around the house kind of thing.

29:46

And then another thing that we did was There is this thing that we saw, many of

29:52

you probably seen it on Instagram, where people will take their grandparents home

29:57

or their old home that they're leaving and take pictures from the past in that

30:01

house, like events and stuff like that. And then when the room is empty, they move the picture away.

30:06

So they put the picture in front and then show what the house is now.

30:09

So we did that and oh my gosh, that was a project but probably like the behind

30:14

the scenes was the funniest because I have like my sister holding the camera.

30:17

I have my arms over her so I'm trying to balance the camera and then

30:20

we're trying to get the lighting. One person has a flashlight over the picture and that probably took about

30:24

two and a half hours or maybe even more but I really feel like it's

30:28

something once it's put together, it will be a really beautiful remembrance

30:32

of the house and what it gave to us and all of that and the memories.

30:37

Another thing that we did was pray for the house and not from like necessarily

30:42

a religious standpoint, just from like a more, an offering of love kind of thing.

30:46

So we. We thanked the house, we thanked my grandparents, we walked around

30:50

the house and we touched the walls and just had a moment and just

30:54

remember the different things that we had there and just talk about it.

30:57

And then we sung Nohayalita, which is a Ukrainian song, and I loosely

31:02

translated it means many happy years.

31:06

So, it As a thanks for my grandparents, but also just a blessing for the home

31:11

and the land for those who come next and take over, you know, so it was beautiful.

31:16

So we just went around and we sang the song quite a few times around the house.

31:20

And that song is such a special meaning for us because we sang it at birthdays.

31:25

We've sung it to my Guito when he was in the hospital when he passed away.

31:28

so having that connection, I just think there's so much power in like song in general.

31:32

Like if there's a song that connects to you either just in

31:34

general that you feel good about. Yeah. or is like traditional to you.

31:38

I think that's a beautiful way to implement it and use it as a

31:41

prayer as well, like that, you know, the song kind of thing.

31:44

and then my son, he's so funny.

31:47

He loves Minecraft. so he had his Nintendo he took with us on the last day.

31:52

And he created a whole world where, like, he made the house, so he

31:58

did a replica as much as we could.

32:00

And he did it, like, in four hours. I was so impressed.

32:03

So that was just, like, such a random thing that I didn't expect.

32:07

But I was like, oh, that's so cool. If you have a kid who loves that stuff, like, Building and things

32:11

like that and is into Minecraft. That might also be, I feel like for him, it was therapeutic.

32:15

just to like let go and kind of express in that way.

32:18

I mentioned this on one of the other ones, I think, but I recorded sounds

32:23

of the house, so my favorite is walking across the creaky kitchen floor.

32:28

It makes this like snapping sound and all of like just the cupboards and the

32:33

faucets and the doors and what it sounds like when the doorbell rings and people

32:36

are knocking those little things that.

32:39

I feel like are so ingrained in my memory in a way, but at the same time

32:42

can be so easy to let go of instantly.

32:46

Cause sometimes it's harder for us to keep that in.

32:48

I think that's just in general, like, I think there's so much

32:51

value in recording voices.

32:54

so that's something I definitely recommend at this point. We all have phones and we have, we should have a recording

32:59

function, easy to do that. Even just recording your kid's voice, you know, the kids.

33:04

They change stuff as they're like little cute voices and are taking a moment to

33:08

just share a story that you have like there's a lot of really cool story prompt

33:13

cards you can get on Amazon or your local bookstore, where they give you like story

33:18

prompts and little things to ask your grandparents or your siblings or your

33:22

family and I think those are awesome so we'll have to leave a link for a few

33:25

of them because They're just super fun and really connective, tools to use.

33:31

and then just basically like the last day, when we went, it was just like me

33:34

and my family, cause everybody had already given their keys and all that stuff.

33:37

And so it was just a time to just give thanks to the house and just

33:41

spend a moment there and just say, thank you kind of thing.

33:43

Because when you have Someone in your family who is like the matriarch or

33:47

the patriarch or whatever, like someone who like brings everything in and

33:50

is that person who holds the ground for your family, it can be really

33:54

hard to say goodbye to that because it's like this place that everyone

33:58

revolves around and connects to.

34:00

And I think for us, it was just, it's been hard to let go of that because even for

34:03

me, like I said, I've moved so many times in my life, but this place was consistent.

34:07

It was my place that I could always feel at home in.

34:10

And so I think it can be hard for anybody to move in general.

34:14

So I think it's important to acknowledge those feelings because I think we're

34:18

like, there's so many different types of grief and I think sometimes we

34:22

push all the other things aside, but. If you lose a job, or you lose your home, or you're moving, you're letting

34:28

go of certain aspects of Your daily routine yourself and part of your story

34:32

even of like who you are and that can be really hard to process so finding little

34:37

ways to create some closure in a sense sometimes there won't always be closure

34:42

for things but I think just to help settle your nervous system because it can be

34:45

very taxing and like emotional and just creating ways to have something to look

34:50

back at right and remember that chapter of your life I think can be really beautiful.

34:54

So those are some things that we did.

34:57

Maybe you'll get some inspiration if you're moving your family somewhere

35:00

or if you're going through a similar situation, such as what I'm going through.

35:04

So, yeah, that's what I wanted to share today with everybody.

35:08

I think that's really awesome that, it seems You and your sisters and your

35:12

family are very mindful about like these, these big moments and these

35:19

specific moments and trying to capture, you know, capture that so that you

35:24

still have something to connect with. I know I'm personally not great at that kind of stuff.

35:29

I'm usually the person that like forgets to like, take pictures.

35:34

When, you know, we're, Carrying a camera with us or a

35:37

microphone or all those things. Like it's always in our pocket.

35:41

and I'm so bad at that. So, I think that's very helpful to remind people of regardless of what the moment

35:47

is you're, changing from or transitioning from, If the moment you're you're

35:52

stepping away from was a very powerful or beautiful thing that you still want to

35:57

be connected with or reminded of, there's so many little things that you can do.

36:01

I mean, some of the things you said, I would have never thought to record.

36:06

the footsteps or the sounds, like the sounds from the childhood house, you

36:10

know, my, my family doesn't live in the child, the house I grew up in anymore.

36:14

And I would have never thought to do that.

36:17

Or, you know, the, when my grandparents have passed, I lost, one of them.

36:22

Within the last, Oh, within the last eight, seven, seven or eight years ish.

36:29

but the other ones I've lost a long time ago before we even had cell phones.

36:33

so, you know, that kind of stuff just wasn't as readily available to think

36:37

about, but yeah, to be able to have, pictures of inside that space, the

36:41

way we have pictures now and, to be able to have recorded some of those

36:44

things, you know, this would have been, this would have been neat to.

36:47

neat to go back on because now it's just kind of stuck in my memory

36:51

and As memory goes on over time and as time goes on, some of those,

36:56

things can become a little foggy. some of your memories can begin to blend together as they're filed away.

37:03

So I think that's, I think that's really cool that you guys are doing that.

37:08

And I think that's kind of beautiful how you have all been supporting each other

37:13

on this, Process of grief and this process of transition and, trying to figure out

37:18

as a, as a whole, what the new normal is.

37:21

And I think that's, you know, it's from what you've shared.

37:24

It's really beautiful that, your family all seems to be really

37:27

supporting each other in that way. Yeah, it has been interesting in that way, for sure.

37:31

And I know like my family, like my immediate family were, especially with

37:34

my sisters were very connected in that stuff, but connecting with like my

37:38

cousins and things like that and all, sharing that together, I think, brought

37:43

us closer in a lot of ways, which is nice and I hope that it continues.

37:46

But it's now like navigating a new normal, like you said, because

37:49

that is our anchor point, right? For holidays and getting together, it's like, well, where does that go now?

37:54

And I mean, there's some people in my family setting that, I

37:58

don't necessarily want to continue connection with, and I know they

38:01

don't want to continue with me either.

38:03

Like it's mutual, but you know, trying to like figure out how to navigate

38:08

that is definitely something new.

38:10

And as we kind of go through the seasons, like Christmas was a huge thing for my,

38:14

my Guido, like just totally decorate his house inside and out kind of thing.

38:19

And it was such a thing. And he actually kept up all his decorations, um, even until he

38:23

passed away because at that point. He knew where he was going and that was his comfort zone.

38:29

And he knew that there wasn't going to be, you know, another Christmas.

38:32

So that will definitely be something to navigate, we have all these

38:36

little tools that we can use now. And I think it's.

38:39

It's important not to create like go crazy with it like I feel like

38:42

sometimes we're so crazy about all the pictures we take in some ways.

38:45

but at the same time, these tools can be great too because even the live recording

38:50

like the live videos or pictures. Oh, I didn't know how much I would be in love with those now because like, Now

38:56

when I look back at a lot of the pictures that I have of my grandfather, my sisters,

39:00

my mom took them on a live setting so I can hear his laugh or the thing he would

39:04

do before he would like roll his tongue and say, I can't, I can't roll my R's.

39:08

So, but it was like surge or whatever. And then he would like smile and I can hear that now.

39:13

So it's like those little tiny moments that we don't realize can

39:16

be really, a value later on in life.

39:18

And so, yeah. And you know what you said about the memories too, it's

39:21

like our memories get foggy. It's because like when we think of a memory where it's now

39:25

like a memory of a memory, like it's like a copy kind of thing.

39:28

Like, yeah, right. Which is kind of crazy to think about because we're reflecting on

39:32

it and then remembering that and using it to remember the next time.

39:34

So it does get foggy. And so it's nice to have little things like that.

39:37

And I think, for people to who, are experiencing terminal illness.

39:42

Like some of these ideas might be beneficial to them.

39:44

Or if you have a family member, hopefully you can support them and help them to

39:48

feel, I don't know if everybody will feel ready to leave, but maybe to

39:52

feel more content knowing that there's something that they can give to their

39:55

family or memories that they can share with them, when they pass kind of thing.

39:58

So I think there can be a lot of value in that too.

40:01

And then you can kind of create. You know, legacy projects, so things that will last generations that can be passed

40:06

on to family in a beautiful way like that.

40:09

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting because you've, you've discussed

40:12

legacy projects for quite a while now. I know.

40:14

I feel like I'm kind of doing my own. Right.

40:17

Well, and now that you're kind of, you are navigating that and you're kind of

40:20

creating that, and you're, and you're walking that path, It will be kind of

40:25

cool to see, you know, that's something you've always wanted to venture into

40:29

professionally, or at least offer that to people or at least inspire people.

40:34

So now that you have some like really awesome, ideas and, you

40:37

have a really personal connection to how important that is.

40:41

I think that's going to be a very powerful thing for you when you go to share this

40:45

with, with other people and help them. Journey through that as well.

40:48

So thank you for sharing all of that. Yeah.

40:50

Thank you. Yes. Well, I did pull some cards today.

40:55

I, awesome. So we're gonna, we're gonna go down that road a little bit.

40:59

It's kind of funny because, what was coming up.

41:01

Definitely felt, like I very much understood this, I think, spirit

41:06

sometimes, will use our experiences to help inspire and help bring through,

41:13

messaging because most likely you're not the only one going through it

41:18

and it's usually a collective thing.

41:20

So, Right now I'm with the cards are bringing through and what I'm being

41:24

inspired to share is this reminder of even if this moment right now doesn't

41:31

feel extremely peaceful for you.

41:35

I feel there is a reminder of, Going back to remembering something or going back

41:41

to the thing that does bring you peace and that maybe Uh, we are at a place

41:46

now that we've learned to default Back to that to help us navigate further.

41:52

So maybe that is I need to connect to nature more maybe that is I need

41:58

to, create these things like legacy projects, or I need to take this time to

42:02

connect with family and, and build that.

42:04

These things help bring us peace. They help bring us flow.

42:07

They help us navigate through difficult arenas.

42:12

And we also have learned ways in which we've protected ourselves.

42:21

So this is all kind of going to this feeling of a lot of learning

42:26

that we're going through right now. And these protections that we put up for ourselves, these, these defenses, maybe

42:32

we put up when things do get tricky.

42:35

Maybe that's naturally our first response when things get a little

42:39

touchy or things get a little difficult.

42:41

But it's this kind of reminder, like, those safeguards have been

42:44

put into place because of all the things you've experienced, right?

42:48

a lot of times it's more difficult things we've experienced that then

42:51

teach us how to protect ourselves when difficult things come up.

42:54

So, this message is about like, don't also forget to lean into the things

42:59

that bring peace and happiness as well, because those can also be very supportive

43:04

during a transition period, just as much as your protective, pieces as well.

43:08

But what it feels like is kind of the lesson, kind of what's this.

43:14

Thing that we're experiencing is this deeper learning.

43:18

So like whatever's being kind of triggered, whatever's maybe making

43:23

you need, have that need to lean into peace, is this awareness of Deeper

43:28

things that need healed within. So like maybe you're navigating through something and feeling like, I feel

43:35

like I've already learned this lesson.

43:38

I feel like I've already healed from this.

43:41

Why is something around this still triggering me?

43:44

Oh, it's because there's something even deeper now that needs healed and

43:48

something even deeper to be worked on.

43:51

And I think now that atleast, I'll speak for myself now in a place where, I'm

43:58

aware of what my protective guards are. I know the shields that I put up and I know where they come from.

44:03

I also know what brings me peace and happiness and serenity.

44:06

And I know how to kind of lean into that energy.

44:09

And I think having the balance of those two, Help us facilitate deeper healing

44:14

so that we can finally go into these deeper underlining, the brass tacks that

44:20

are at the bottom of the barrel, that we need to work on so that we can really

44:27

step through our full transition and really move into a full space of growth.

44:31

I share a lot, there's a lot of talk in the spiritual world about,

44:35

Cutting away the past that's happened to you and not letting those

44:37

energetic cords hold on to anymore.

44:40

And I I'm very much a loud speaker of, you can't just erase what's happened.

44:45

It's part of your story. It's part of your journey.

44:48

It's learning how to Hold on to it different so you can carry it easier

44:52

with you so that it's not a burden.

44:54

It's just it's easier to carry. And I think doing that is then digging into some of these deeper

45:01

narratives, these deeper stories, these deeper experiences, and

45:04

that's not always going to be this. This huge event that happened in your past.

45:08

That's not always going to be this like major thing you've been through.

45:11

Sometimes it's just the remnants of what you've experienced or it's

45:15

something that was minor that happened that you didn't even realize was

45:18

affecting you the way that it has. Because this, this last card I have here, it's a lot about

45:23

what you didn't even realize. Was bothering you what you didn't even see was a problem, which you didn't

45:28

even know you needed to heal what you didn't mean weren't aware that

45:32

you needed to grow from this thing. And that's a difficult time to walk through, but it's also a really

45:37

beautiful and a really healing and a really progressive place to be in.

45:42

So, if this message is resonating with you, this is a cheerleading message.

45:47

This is a, like, you're not alone. You've got this.

45:50

This is, this is a great, Point of your journey where you really are preparing

45:54

yourself for bigger changes and bigger steps ahead and a lot more healing.

45:58

So I hope that Some of you it makes sense for I know what as I looked at these cards

46:03

and I kind of felt into them And then I I don't always look at the books That go

46:07

along with the deck, but this one it's the deck is called Woodland Wardens and it's a

46:13

deck that has animals like woodland nature animals and then plants along with them.

46:19

Yeah, that one's a pretty one. I love that one. It's cool.

46:21

And it's a newer deck for me. So I did go through the book and I was kind of looking at the book

46:25

and seeing, what the inspired messages were through there.

46:29

And as I was comparing that with what I was feeling, I'm like, wow, this kind

46:32

of, this is a lot for me personally.

46:35

so that's just kind of a validation that it probably is going to hit

46:38

home for a lot of you as well. Yeah, I think so too.

46:42

And check out this segue. So this deck is by Jessica Rue, who is based in Nashville, Tennessee, which

46:51
