Beginning –

Lucy’s back story of creating a healthy beverage company, publishing her book and becoming certified in reiki. The best developments we could make always find us and are birthed out of a personal need.

Mental / emotional pain breeds physical pain.Newtonian logic is what we have in the western world which has us section off pieces of ourselves in an effort to understand what’s going on. The Eastern world is built more off of paradoxical logic which is more circular rather than it’s linear Newtonian counterpart.

The Eastern world has a better understanding of things as a whole whereas westerners have a difficult time understanding how emotions would cause a physical ailment. The layers of the body are embedded into one another, i.e. the mental, the physical, the aura, and more. They’re only perceived as separate now as we understand them but they’re existing simultaneously in the same location as one another. There is no separation.

“Dis-Ease” in our mental /emotional state trickles into our physical bodies and causes disease. E-motion: Energy in motion. Words are great.

Language is powerful. Words are vibrational frequencies putting into action our intentions, our affirmations and our way of manifesting our reality. Words are our magick spells.We perpetuate what we focus on. We have to be careful of the line between venting and taking responsibility for the perpetuation of despair.

There’s a delicate balance between releasing what energy is being stored within you and then pivoting and blending. Noticing what doesn’t serve you and then turning in ANY other direction, reintegrating yourself and moving forward.

It’s important to note what isn’t working for you so that you can find a different direction that is better but we have to be careful not to get stuck on the things we’re noticing and don’t like.

Neurolinguistics in how we speak to ourselves in our minds. What we’re speaking, we’re resonating with.

Respectfully, nothing matters and it’s all going to burn anyway so yes, absolutely wear the renaissance fair gear to Wal-Mart. There’s a liberation and a freedom in that.

Always be trying new things.

A simple breathwork exercise: Inhale new and fresh, exhale old, stagnant and unhelpful.We release the past by bringing in the new. Allowing the past to naturally be swept up in the energy flow of the new things we’re bringing in will help to clear old patterns.

The new things don’t even have to be much, you can change these energies and sweep out the old with things as simple as taking the stairs differently, brushing your teeth differently or sleeping in your bed differently. The new doesn’t have to be elaborate or even pertain to the thing you desire to release. Any pattern disruption will work.Intuitively, to change patterns we all think that we need to “stop doing” the undesired thing in question. Really though, that’s the hard path. A much simpler and easier path to take is to “start doing” anything else. Adding in new things will naturally crowd out the undesired pattern.

Everything is energy, energy is always flowing and moving. We find the problems when energy becomes stagnant because energy wants to move. Getting the energy moving again can look like exercise or even rearranging furniture. The problem and the solution don’t even have to be related in order for you to feel the difference.We’re all made of trillions of atoms and atoms don’t even touch. Quantum physics really shook up everything we know to be real and very recently. The facts of which are still catching up to the mainstream public.

More unites us than divides us. Especially when we focus on love and compassion.Nothing is boxable. The only way we could have governments and laws that were completely nonproblematic for everyone across the board was if we addressed everything on a case by case basis and we don’t yet have the ability to do that.

There are billions (one per person on the planet) of different realities on this planet, not a single one identical to another. Everyone’s truth will differ across subjects. We can never fully know ANYONE else’s reality. They can tell us about it, but they’re the only ones that will ever be able to watch their complete and full story unfold.

28:52 –

Not being able to know someone else’s reality and world completely can be liberating. We can use the concept to let go of any control, desires or judgements of any and everyone else and simply “get in our own reality bubble and have a good time.”

You’re going to have the same reality bubble no matter where you go. The energy relationships with everything in your life may morph and look different but they will remain the same underneath.You can’t run from your problems. You have to do the inner work to resolve them. Persistence is what will do it for you.

Frame it as a game because we’re all just children on the inside.You have to cultivate peace, happiness or whatever emotion you want in the moment through sheer will power.

45:41 –

We get hung up on rock solid words. Energy breaks down the language barriers. Reality, like language is malleable and fluid. The world is not either-or, it’s both-and.
