You-est You®: Redefining Intuition, Spirituality, Consciousness & Healing

Meet Aaron Abke Aaron Abke is a paradigm-shifting spiritual teacher who delivers a fresh, new perspective on Self-Realization through his teachings on the Law of One, Non-Duality, and Spiritual Intelligence. Aaron aims to provide humanity with the tools, knowledge, and practices needed to aid our collective ascension to Enlightenment, or "4th Density Consciousness". His passion and purpose are to awaken this planet to the awareness of our oneness and collective destiny as an Enlightened civilization. Ok, gorgeous soul, this conversation definitely goes deep into the metaphysical and cosmic worlds. I'd invite you to listen with your heart and an open mind. Of course, sift through the conversation, take what resonates, and leave the rest. The Law of One To set the context here, I asked Aaron to share his wisdom on The Ra Material: The Law of One. This book was channeled in the 1980s by UFO researchers who spent years and took meticulous care to connect with and take note of their 106 conversations with Ra, a 6th-density social memory complex. In short, this refers to minds that are all joined on another density plane that are all acting as one mind. This is a similar concept if you listen to Abraham Hicks (channeled by Esther Hicks). And don't worry my friend, I will be sure to explain what this means. We Are All One In essence, Ra states that the whole universe is one being and that all creation is of one thought. We're each literally like a neuron in the Divine Mind, and we all play in the totality of the creator knowing itself. Our minds create the illusion of being separate and of the idea of evil. In reality, there is no evil in God. God is perfect love, unity, and wholeness. The highest truth is our oneness. Everything in the Universe is electromagnetic energy. Every particle has a charge. You must choose which polarity you want to be — positive or negative. The negative charge represents separation and not being connected to your heart. This often shows up as an endless need for power at the expense of others. The positive polarity is about love and being of service to others. When you love and serve, you are emulating the Creator. Why Your Chakras Are Important You may not realize that there are 7 densities of consciousness for the soul to evolve, and they are also connected to the 7 chakras (energy wheels of life). Here's a brief overview to give you a taste of how the chakras are related to life experiences. The primal chakras are 1 - 3, whereas the spiritual chakras are 4 - 7. These 7 energy centers are all about how the soul journeys over a 75,000-year period from separation to oneness. The 1st density is the Root, a red ray of pure being. All 5 elements of the Universe; wood, fire, earth, air, and metal- are considered the root. The 2nd density of consciousness is the orange ray which signifies growth, movement such as our animals, plants, fish, and pets. The 3rd density, the yellow ray, is the 'I AM' consciousness we experience as human beings. It's about becoming self-aware and is connected to the solar plexus. The 4th density, the green ray, is all about love, oneness, and unity. Ra talks about just needing 51% of the human population to be polarized to the positive to regain and reclaim unity consciousness. This density is about the connection of all things, realizing that separation is an illusion of the mind. Many of us (especially if you are moved to read this) are now moving toward the 4th density. The 5th density is that of light and is connected to the throat chakra, sharing wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. This is the realm of light bodies that are purely electromagnetic in density. The 6th density is the indigo ray and is the law of one density, which is all about unity between love, light, and wisdom. The Ra social memory complex is a conglomerate of higher consciousness that streams as one unified consciousness. The 7th density is where you become your higher self. This gateway density is connected to the crown and where the highest guides merge back into source energy. The Power of Forgiveness Forgiveness is the answer to healing all human wounds, for it taps into the powerful energy of letting go and moving forward. On a metaphysical level, forgiveness gives you the opportunity to see the illusion of separateness. It allows you to release the idea of 'right' or 'wrong,' instead putting you into a realm of love and compassion and letting go of anger from the mind and body. The Feminine and Masculine Energies Explained The feminine and masculine energies within all human beings are crucial for healing and are often misunderstood. The masculine represents the mind, and much of the healing here is about correcting false beliefs in the mind. When you forgive yourself and others, you remember who you are. The feminine represents the heart and the 'I AM' state. Healing happens when you give love to the part of you that is upset. It's ok to feel afraid and hurt, but loving those wounded parts of yourself will help you heal. Remember, all suffering is a cue that you're perceiving yourself in a way that is not true. True enlightenment is making every relationship loving, including the one with yourself. Healing The Mind & Overcoming Suffering All suffering is a cue that you are perceiving yourself in a way that's not true. We suffer because we're obsessed with ourselves, whereas the best way to heal the mind and suffering is through being of service to others, both in thought and action. Positive thoughts and actions have a positive charge. Giving and receiving are one, so you keep for yourself what you give away. For those who have read and worked through ACIM (A Course in Miracles), Aaron also referenced a very important understanding that most of us miss. The way we see the world is upside down, and what disturbs me most in others is a mirror of what's in my mind. Really what's needed for most of us is a healing of the mind.

Meet Judith Richards Trauma Response Creator, Judith Richards, who was most recently in the documentary FACING FEAR, is an extraordinary woman who suffered unspeakable abuse. This abuse, which started as a little girl, continued in various forms into her adulthood. Physical and psychological trauma was Judith's normal. Time and time again, she found herself in a loop that kept repeating from one toxic situation to the next. It was not a good place to be, and it was not safe. Eventually, as a middle-aged adult, Judith managed to extract herself from the continued and repetitive abuse; however, she isolated herself as it was the safest option. But this wasn't a life. The residual effects of Judith's trauma plunged her into a horrendous mental state of extreme PTSD breakdown - living in hallucinations, flashbacks, and terror. She discovered that escaping from the abuse was one thing, but repairing and resolving the impacts of the trauma was an even greater challenge. Learning how to live with her trauma was never a viable option. She needed to resolve it. Piece by piece, Judith found a way to repair herself with what is now her leading trauma response process, known as TRTP. Rewiring Your Subconscious Here's the thing most of us don't realize – our conscious mind only accounts for 5% of our life, whereas our unconscious mind runs everything else. We pick up beliefs about ourselves early on in our life, starting from birth until 8 years or so. So, if you grew up feeling that it wasn't safe to be seen or heard, you will continue to develop an unconscious belief that it's not safe to be visible (which is especially a tough one for those wanting to make a bigger impact in the world). We take on our negative core beliefs, which become the foundation for our beliefs and actions. We thus manifest what our unconscious believes. Judith shares how she changed her unconscious mind, which then changed her life and allowed her to keep past traumas in the past. Overcoming Trauma Trauma, or distress (a similar term for trauma that can cause less of an emotional response), as Judith discussed, is stored in our body. Distress is an event where your amygdala is triggered (the emotional center of the brain), and hormones like the underlying root fear behind trauma, be it anxiety or depression, is that you are not safe. The problem is that when your body is constantly stressed, staying in the fight-flight or freeze state, your nervous system stops regulating, and it feels like past traumas are happening in the present. You continue to emit cortisol and adrenaline, and your body keeps reliving this high state of alert and feeling unsafe. The Power of Choice One of the most important aspects of healing trauma is taking back your personal agency and reclaiming your power of choice. Judith demonstrates this brilliantly in the film, Facing Fear, and we discussed how crucial it is to fully embody and embrace your choice to know that you're safe and that you deserve to heal. One of the ways to do this is to use power statements around choice that aren't just affirmations but are commitments to yourself with intense emotion. Here are a few examples of what you might say: I get to choose. I choose to know that it's now safe for me. I choose this in every cell of my body and in my being. I choose to deserve to be treated with care and respect. I choose this because I can. I am enough. I vow to love me. Facing Fear Judith was recently in the film, Facing Fear by filmmaker Bill Bennett, addressing universal questions about whether we need fear and what it's for. Bill had received devastating personal news, which catapulted him into fear. Then, as the pandemic hit, fear turned global. Bennett traveled the globe to seek answers in this extraordinary examination of fear. Experts such as Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Caroline Myss, James Van Praagh, Sister Jenna, Lee Carroll, Paul Selig, Foster Gamble, Michael Tamura, and many more shared their wisdom about fear.

Meet Erika Bélanger Erika Bélanger is a yoga teacher, stress coach, and the host of the On & Off Your Mat Podcast. As a teacher and leader, Erika helps her clients move from surviving to thriving by managing their thoughts, feeling their feelings, and regulating their nervous system, so they can reconnect to their body and its needs to experience more joy, connection, and love. Her radiant spirit and engaging sense of humor create light-hearted somatic practices focused on awareness, intentional movement, and self-care. Feeling 'Not Enough' and 'Too Much' Oh, do I know this terrible twin well of feeling both 'not enough' and 'too much'. My guest today shares all about her struggles with being told she was too sensitive, 'too much', and to stop being so difficult. What ensued in abandoning herself was a full-blown eating disorder and a whole lot of self-loathing. Erika shares openly about hitting rock bottom (a few times) and what helped her to heal her nervous system, body, and mind (for real). We dove into the various practices and ways to create safety within your own self and body and how to stop rejecting your feelings, emotions, and self. Best Practices for The Highly Sensitive Here are some of the highlights and most helpful practices to start using if you're struggling as a Highly Sensitive Person or empath with burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, hopelessness, and feelings of despair. You'll definitely want to tune into the whole conversation to hear how you can create lasting healing change within your body and mind. 1) First, you must learn to accept and embrace your own sensitivity and whatever you're feeling and experiencing. Drop the shame and stop bullying yourself. 2) If you want to learn how to meet your own needs, you must be ok with what you actually need. 3) Contrary to what you might think, when you're feeling anxious or unsettled, you'll want to match this energy with loving actions that have a similar energy, such as dancing, shaking, running, tapping, etc, before cultivating a more peaceful state. 4) To support your sensitivity, ask yourself, 'What do I need?' and then listen, honor, and meet your needs. 5) Creating safety is key to your healing and well-being. Want Further Support To Create Inner Peace? If you would like further support to create safety from within, and heal your relationship with yourself (and your nervous system), let's connect further to see how I can support you on your healing journey.

Julie is the founder of the Life Designer® Coach Academy, a spiritual life coach certification, and a professor at Georgetown University.

Tapping into Your Intuitive Guidance While it might sound a bit 'woo' or out there, the truth is that we all have intuitive guidance to help us make decisions and choices in all areas of life, really. It's called your emotional guidance system, and when you learn how to tune in and trust it, you will start to notice patterns when something feels right, be it something you sense in your body or an image you might see, or an emotion you feel. You'll also learn how to decipher what 'no' feels like within your own inner guidance. I've interviewed many experts, luminaries, and scientists on the show, like Gregg Braden, Sonia Choquette, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Rollin McCraty, Dr. Judith Orloff, Laura Lynne Jackson, and many others who have discussed the importance of tapping into and listening to your intuition. As Sonia Choquette shared in her interview, remember that intuition literally means 'your inner teacher.' In today's solo episode, I decided to honor my intuition and pull cards from a few of my favorite decks to see what showed up as messages, themes, and wisdom for all of us. As always, my friend, take what you like and discard the rest. And above all, make sure you run all of what I share through your own brilliant intuitive guidance. It will never lead you astray! How To Use Oracle Cards There are many ways to use oracle cards. The way that I love to use them is by no means scientifically backed, but it is a process I've been using for years that has been spot on for me and for those in my Sacredology community (where I give intuitive messages from time to time). I first like to get a sense of which deck wants to 'play' with me. Once I've decided, I take the cards out and begin to shuffle them while I state a very clear intention that sounds like this: "May I pull a card(s) that is for the highest good for me and all those I'm here to serve. May this card(s) shed light, open hearts, and bless me and everyone involved." I then shuffle and often span the cards out in my hands to see which one feels like it wants to be pulled out. Often it's the top card, but sometimes it's another card wedged in the deck. I trust my guidance and have never pulled a card that didn't fully resonate. I'd encourage you to practice this process or one that works for you and take note of the cards you get and what they mean to you. After time, if you continue to play with your intuition and the oracle cards, you will start to see patterns, themes, and wisdom that I'm confident will guide you through whatever is going on in your life. Playing and tapping into the wisdom of my cards has helped me enormously in connecting more deeply with my 'me-est me.' The Oracle Cards In this Episode I pulled some powerful cards in this solo session, and I am sharing the card, main message, and where you can get them below. I'd love to hear from you what resonates the most and what you're discovering about yourself. The You-est You Intention Deck juliereisler.com/shop The first card I chose was: Integrity The intention: Integrity is the cornerstone of having a life that works with ease. I choose to align my words and actions with my highest intentions and to follow through on what I say and commit to. I show up in my life today with integrity and responsibility for all that occurs in my life. The second card I chose was: Laughter The intention: Laughter is healing for my body and soul. I will find time to invite laughter into my day to lighten up myself and those around me. Ask yourself, where might you add more integrity to your life? Where are you in and out of integrity? Note: Do not judge yourself either way here. Also, look at where and how you're adding levity, laughter, and lightness to your life. Animal Spirit Guidebook Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3JO4gju The next deck I picked from is another one of my favorites. This beautiful deck will give you incredible guidance and insight connected to different animal spirits and the four elements: water, air, earth, and fire. The card I chose was: Vulture Deeper meaning: The vulture signifies both a guardian and a purifier. This is one of the most misunderstood creatures, as its gift is purification and helping to bring you back into balance. Something to think about: What you think is a tragedy or mistake is actually a blessing in disguise Sacred Traveler Oracle Cards Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3LurwE3 I use the Sacred Traveler deck all the time and almost every month. The card I chose was: Mystic Healer- Healing energy flows through you. Deeper meaning: You are a healing force, even if you are just becoming aware of this or aren't sure how to use your healing abilities. For healing to occur in outward relationships, it must first happen within yourself. You, my friend, do have the ability to heal within yourself. Use the art and gift of visualization and tap into deeper trust and faith that all is working out for your highest good. What is being revealed is here to be healed. The Cosmic Journey Oracle Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3TlgTFy Yanik Silver was on my podcast earlier last year, and I absolutely love his Cosmic Journal and Cosmic Journey Oracle cards. There are lots of excellent questions that will prompt deeper reflection and inner awareness. The first card I chose: #44 - Words Create Your World Deeper meaning: First off, this is the title of a chapter in my book, Get a PhD in YOU. I believe this to my core. Your words are the magic wand in your life. Get present, slow down, and notice what you're saying to others and yourself. Be mindful and careful with your words, my friend. They create the life you are living now and in the future. The second card I chose: #39- Your Effortless Effort is Fully Required Deeper Meaning: Do your best AND go with the flow. This one spoke deeply to me, especially as a recovering overachiever. Stop pushing and trying to make things happen. Tap into the Universe's balanced yin/yang energy, move into harmony with your effort, and use effortless effort to manifest your greatest desires. I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening to this episode. I had so much fun doing this for you and would love to know if it resonated with you and if you'd like me to do more intuitive guided episodes with oracle cards.

Meet Rabbi David Aaron Rabbi David Aaron is a spiritual teacher who has invested over 4 decades delving into life's BIGGEST question marks and sharing his life-changing wisdom and insights with adults and young adults. He has emerged as the 'God expert' simply because he has dared to ask and answer the most difficult questions that he/ALL people have and/or struggle with about God's existence and their own. And while the name 'God' appears on the cover of almost all his books, he doesn't believe in 'God' – not in the popular sense of that word, which leaves the Divine entirely misunderstood. Rabbi Aaron has authored several books, including Endless Light, Seeing G-d, Love is My Religion, The Secret Life of G-d, Inviting G-d In, Living a Joyous Life, and The God Powered Life. His books have attracted national media attention, including Larry King Live and E! Entertainment. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife, Chana, and seven children. The Meaning of Kabbalah Just like the Law of Attraction, Kabbalah is about the Law of Reception and the teachings that all good is here now and always. The problem is that we don't know how to get reception. Rabbi Aaron shares that we're like radios, and we have to engineer our life to be receptive to hearing God and Good. The most important things in life are not things. Experiencing love, peace, good, and God are always here and available to everyone. And remember, if you don't vibe with the word God, just substitute the word Good. Endless Light Rabbi Aaron shared more deeply about the title of his book, Endless Light, and how we don't see light — light allows us to see. God is like the light that allows us to see what's there. God is a light, even though you can't see God. It's not about 'seeing is believing', rather, it's about 'believing is seeing'. Not seeing is actually believing. What's most important is to learn to live from the light of God and see opportunities to be of greater service. We're here to love and be of service to others. The 4 Steps to Love Love, by definition, means you don't have to be worthy to receive it, although many of us get this backward. If you deserve love, it's not a gift – it's a payment. Love is a gift and is not a business model. What's happening is that we don't have clarity on what we're here to receive. The greatest gift is our presence and being able to truly and fully be there for and with others, be it our partner, family member, or friend. In truth, we're all made of love – that's why we're here. Love is about giving AND also receiving. Rabbi Aaron shared what he calls the 4 ingredients of love: Create space for someone else and move yourself out of the center. Respect and honor that the other person is not you and is different from you. Don't try to make them be like you. To give of yourself to another person is giving your presence so they can be seen and heard. Allow your partner to do the same with you and allow space to receive love. Remember that intimacy is 'into-me-I-see'...it's about learning to be comfortable with receiving love. A beautiful quote: 'We're all pieces of love.' Accessing Your Personal Power All the personal power within you is not from you. You couldn't turn your heart off for 30 seconds because the power of your beating heart doesn't come from you. Tap into and connect with the power that is beating your heart. Get to know this power that is loving and guiding you. Meditating on your pulse is a great way to access your personal power and feel a deep connection to the miracle that is you. Feel your pulse with your finger. Notice how your pulse is happening without you giving it directions. Meditate on the marvel and mystery that every heartbeat is a gift because all of you is a gift. How To Really Be Happy The way to true happiness is through loving yourself. When you love yourself, you're happier and are able to spread happiness to others. As Rabbi Aaron said, it's not the things that will bring you happiness. It's about being yourself, living your service, and expressing the happiness that comes from living a life that is about being of service to others. Holy Selfishness Holy Selfishness is about knowing that we intrinsically need each other and that the aim is to be loving to others. Love is actually a good selfishness. The goal is to act from a place of wholeness and to focus on being holy, or 'wholly,' as you are part of a greater whole. This is holy wholeness. Love is a good selfishness because it means together we honor and acknowledge the shared one greater self. Kabbalah teaches that we're all emanating from one root self. Even though we are individual sparks of the Divine, we are also of one field of consciousness, one soul, and one self of the Universe. As always, my friend, take what you like and leave the rest. I hope this conversation reminds you of your infinite goodness, your connection to an all-loving force, and that you're inherently worthy of real love, peace, and joy.

Learn more at AmyPorterfield.com. Should You Become An Entrepreneur? This is a question Amy and I both get often, and I loved her answer. While becoming an entrepreneur is not for everyone, you'll know it's for you if you have a calling in your heart. The only way to really know if you're an entrepreneur is if you have a strong desire to do it. If it's in your heart, you will figure it out. Amy shared so many nuggets of wisdom that I only wish I had years ago when I started my own business. So, whether you're already an entrepreneur, thinking about going for it, or just sitting with the idea of doing something on your own, this conversation is the key that will unlock how to move forward. Know Your 'You-est You' Factor Before getting started, you'll want to first think about what kind of lifestyle you'd like to create. Amy shared that her first two years were a disaster because she was so burned out from hustling without a clear plan about what she wanted her lifestyle to feel and look like. You want to make sure to create a business that is authentically you and on your terms. That is suited for your 'You-est You'. The best way to do this is to get crystal clear about your why. Knowing your why will help you stay connected and committed to your greater desire to have your own business when the going can get tough. You Aren't For Everyone And That's Ok You're not for everyone, and that's a good thing! We dove into this idea that you can't make everyone like you or be for you in business (and in general). What you can do is laser into who you want to serve and why. If you keep your focus too broad, no one will find you. The magic comes from getting clear about who you're speaking to, serving, and ensuring everything you do and say is directed to that person. Looking around and comparing yourself to others in your space can be easy. Don't do it! I loved Amy's advice to put on your blinders (like you would with a racehorse) and run your own race. Keep coming back to your why and if you find yourself caught up in envy or jealousy, ask yourself what they have that you want and create a plan. What matters is not necessarily having the confidence (this comes with time) to start a business, but having the courage to take a leap of faith and course correct when needed. My friend, it's ok to do it scared, anxious, and with blinders on! How To Become a Content Queen Amy suggests finding one platform and focusing there. For example, choose to do a podcast, or a YouTube channel, write a blog, and find ways to create content on the regular. As with everything else, tap into what feels most aligned for you and where you want to spend your time and energy sharing wisdom and content. Why You Must Build an Email List Here's the thing about building an email list…most people wait to start building one but find it's the one thing they wish they had started earlier. Amy shared that even with her robust and engaged email list, she wishes she had started building it earlier. Social media is a great tool to pull in leads, but in the end, you'll want to put your energy towards building an email list that adds value and creates engagement. Social media rules always change (think Facebook algorithms and Twitter ownership), but your email list will always be something you have domain over. The goal is to pique interest and nurture your community with helpful content and products that will be of service. The real secret to building an email list is to take action and get started wherever you are. No list is too small. The key is genuine engagement. Let's Talk Money and Overcoming Money Anxiety It's important to get clear on your finances. It can be terrifying to leave a paycheck, so you'll want to start planning out what you need to make to pay your bills, where you can get scrappy and clarify your financial goals. Many let the fear of finances hold them back, but, in truth, you're not as safe as you might think in your job. A good way to plan your exit date is to determine when you'll have enough savings and prudent reserves saved up before you leave. Remember, you get to determine what amount of money makes you feel comfortable leaving and what lifestyle you want to have. A good way to do this is to reverse engineer your expenses, lifestyle, and how you want to live – especially during your first year in business. And remember, my friend, all of this takes immense courage. So do what you need to connect with others who are supportive, make a plan, take a leap of faith, and go for it. Your future self will thank you when you have the freedom to live life as you desire, make money doing what you love, and help the world in a bigger way.

Meet Esther Blum Esther Blum is an Integrative Dietitian and Menopause Expert. In the past 27 years, she has helped thousands of women master menopause through nutrition, hormones, and self-advocacy. Esther is the bestselling author of See ya later, Ovulator, Cavewomen Don't Get Fat, Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous, Secrets of Gorgeous, and The Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous Project. Known as Gwyneth Paltrow's menopause mentor and by Forbes for helping women thrive through menopause, Esther was also voted Best Nutritionist by Manhattan Magazine. She has appeared on the Today Show, ABC-TV, and Good Day NY and is frequently quoted in goop, Well + Good, Forbes, Time Magazine, The New York Post, The Los Angeles Times, In Style, Bazaar, Self, Fitness, Marie Claire, and Cosmo. What Is Menopause? Ah, the 'big pause'...as some might call it. As a female moving into the next phase of perimenopause, I've been rather disappointed with the lack of information shared during routine ob-gyn visits and decided to do some in-depth research. This brought me to Esther's healing work with thousands of women in and out of menopause. So, we dove all into menopause — what it is, ways to treat it, and feel better than ever. Put on your seatbelt, my friend, there's a lot of ground to cover, and as always, take what you like and leave the rest. Menopause is a hormone deficiency that happens naturally for women as they start making fewer reproductive hormones. Both menstruation and fertility declines typically with women in their early to late 40s. What Are Menopause Symptoms? Symptoms can, of course, vary from woman to woman. The good news is that 80% of the solution for menopausal symptoms can be changed and altered with lifestyle. Here's a listing of typical symptoms many women face: periods can worsen, meno-rage (what Esther refers to as excess anger and rage), insomnia and sleep issues, anxiety, depression, irregular heartbeat, breast tenderness, brain fog, vaginal dryness, lowered libido and lighter or missed periods. If you're feeling something is off, Esther urges you to trust yourself. You know your body and honor your own inner intuition! How To Embrace and Overcome Menopause One of the biggest factors in managing and even overcoming menopausal symptoms is due to lifestyle habits like the foods you're eating, the exercise you're doing, and the sleep you're getting. Esther's book goes into much greater detail; however, I'm going to break this down into those three categories to help give you an overview and more clarity. Nutrition You're going to need way more protein than ever before. Esther recommends 150 grams of protein each day. A good place to start is with 30 grams of protein at each meal (which is about 4 - 6 oz/meal). You want to keep your blood sugar stable, which protein and a small amount of carbohydrates can do. Contrary to what you might have thought, eating carbs at dinner is a good idea (for example, 1 - 1 ½ cups of rice or quinoa), which will help bump up your insulin and tamper your cortisol. Exercise Contrary to the exercise many of us do in our 20s and 30s, you'll want to switch up your exercise routine to help support your adrenals. This means less 'HIIT' (high-intensity interval training) method training and more walks. Walking outside can help reset your circadian rhythm and give you a great dose of vitamin D. Using weights, with enough rest in between sets, will also help with bone density loss. Sleep It takes 8 weeks to reshape your nervous system. Engaging in deep breathing, meditation, or yoga nidra before bed is an excellent way to rewire your fight or flight system. This takes time, so don't give up if you don't notice results right away with your sleep. What Are The Options? Esther shares research in greater depth in her book; however, we did discuss healthy options to help with symptoms and support your body during these hormonal changes. All of these suggestions are FDA-approved and considered bio-identical hormones, which are most like your own hormones. A great way to test your hormone levels, in addition to a hormone blood test, is to take what's called the DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test. Esther and other functional medical professionals can guide you so you're not going through perimenopause and menopause alone. You can get a list of Esther's 'Happy Hormone Cocktail List' that she mentioned here: https://estherblum.com/cocktail/ref/5 Menopause Redefined In Asian cultures, it's also known as 'The Second Spring.' I love this definition because of the focus on a second chance to bloom into your most true self. Perhaps this is the time in your life when you lose your filter, own your voice, and end an era of 'people pleasing'. You've not tethered to rules around your cycle anymore, and perhaps it's a time to embrace taking exquisite care of yourself. Some empowering questions to ask yourself might be: 'What do I really want?', 'Who do I want to surround myself with?' and 'How do I want to feel?'. This is a time to cut out all the B.S. and honor your 'You-est You'! Looking To Help Others Know Who They Are and Design Their Best Life?

Meet Cheryl Bailey Cheryl Bailey is the founder of Grit and Grace Meditation. She recently became a Certified Life Designer® Coach in Julie Reisler's certification program. Cheryl's passion for life coaching began years ago when she personally worked through some of the most tumultuous times in her life. She realized that the journey of life doesn't come with a roadmap, and we all experience twists and turns, highs and lows, and there is never a perfect outcome. The work that they did together was life-altering, and she knew one day, she wanted to be able to hold space and co-create with other women on that same level. Today, Cheryl is a Certified Life Designer Coach, 200 Hour RYT, 200 Hour Certified Mindfulness Meditation Instructor, Certified Conscious Sound Practitioner, a 40- hour Certified Yoga Nidra Instructor, a Certified Hibiscus Moon Crystal Practitioner, and an Usui Level II Reiki Practitioner. Cheryl also co-facilitates transformational Self-Love Women's Retreats in Sedona and Costa Rica. Cheryl lives with her husband in magical Sedona. You can learn more about Cheryl by visiting gritandgracemeditation.com. An Unlikely Healing Path After a string of tragedies, Cheryl was taught that control was merely an illusion. Her first marriage of 17 years ended in a nasty divorce. Later, when she found love again, she lost her second husband to colon cancer. And within a few months of his passing, Hurricane Sandy rendered her homeless. Life truly pulled the rug out from under her. She fought to keep going under the weight of constant outer and inner turmoil. She knew there was another way to live, but that didn't happen until she began to fully surrender to something greater than herself. It was through various holistic and wellness practices that she found grace for herself. She realized that she didn't need to strive for perfection, and it was okay to give herself the time and space to just "be." She reconnected with her higher power and trusted God to guide her through all of life's ups and downs and ins and outs. This is when a sense of inner peace and self-awareness blossomed within, and where she found her true calling within sound healing, meditation and mindfulness, yoga, and spiritual coaching. The Healing Power of Being a Spiritual Coach Cheryl wanted to make a bigger impact by learning how to help guide women back to their truest selves and deeper desires. She knew doing this would require getting the training and acquiring the skills to support women in a bigger way. In the Life Designer® Coach Certification program, she learned how to go from her head to her heart and help others do the same. This process of letting go of the linear, left brain into what's possible in the creative right brain helped Cheryl to let go of her own perfectionistic tendencies and help others through her coaching skills. Much of coaching is learning how to help others to let their ego get out of the way, and of course, practicing the coaching competencies helped Cheryl to do this from within. Today, Cheryl coaches clients from all backgrounds and infuses her healing arts background and life design coaching in her retreats and programs. Self-love Isn't Selfish You can not give from an empty cup. Cheryl learned the hard way as a recovering perfectionist that the most loving thing you can do is to fill yourself up and take exquisite loving care of your mind and body. Sometimes that means doing things that others might not like. This is where grit, grace, and compassion come in. You must find the inner strength to follow what's true for you, regardless of what others think. We must remove the blinders and refuel ourselves with love to see and feel the Divine. The Most Important Question To Ask Yourself Cheryl, like many of us, wasn't taught to herself what she really wanted. Only after tragedy and deep soul searching did she start to ask the important question, 'Who am I, really?' What followed was the question, 'How can I be of service?'. Listening more deeply to her heart, she realized her desire was to share her gifts with others. So, after receiving the signs from the Universe, she left her successful career in higher education to pursue a life she was truly passionate about. After being inspired by her own unexpected challenges and experiences, she realized her journey was indeed her destination. Be sure to ask yourself regularly, 'Who am I, really, and how can I be of maximum service?' Get quiet, listen to your inner guidance, and be prepared to take courageous action toward your vision.

How To Channel Your Spiritual Gifts Here's the thing, whether or not you're aware of it, you are always channeling something. Remember, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Think of yourself as a radio station with a dial. The question really is, from what frequency or radio station are you channeling? If you want to channel your spiritual gifts and experience more joy and freedom, you must start tuning your inner frequency and radio dial to the emotional state of joy and freedom. We can't emit what we don't feel. Emotions are our guidance and will always tell you where you vibrate and what radio station you're tuned into. If you want to channel wisdom from the higher realms of greater intelligence and love, you'll want to focus your energy on experiencing this kind of unconditional love for yourself and learn to quiet your mind. It all comes down to how you feel and how you prioritize how you feel, as well as having a peaceful mind. I've discussed this in many of my past interviews with experts like Alan Cohen, Neale Donald Walsh, Marci Shimoff, and Matt Kahn. You might ask yourself how you prioritize self-care and spiritual connection (in whatever way that resonates for you) and ways to increase time for quiet reflection, mindfulness, and being heart-centered with yourself. The Powerful Study That Proves Spiritual Connection I shared a story in the second year of my graduate program at Maryland University of Integrative Health, where my professor conducted a study that is still glowing my mind. After we came back from our lunch break, she had us taste red and orange peppers from two different plates. They looked the same but tasted quite different. The first plate, labeled A, tasted bitter and sour. The second plate, labeled B, tasted sweet and delicious. When asked why we thought there was such a difference, students shouted out all kinds of answers. "The second plate are organic peppers," "The sweeter peppers are from a local farm," and "The sour peppers are GMO from a standard grocery store." Our teacher answered 'no' to every possible reason, which stumped my classmates and me. Then she pulled up a slide that forever changed my life. She shared Dr. Masaru Emoto's studies and findings from his book, 'Hidden Messages From Water'. Dr. Emoto spent years studying the implications of consciousness on the molecular structure of water. In short, he proved that the molecules change in water depending on your energy, consciousness, and way of speaking to the water. When he yelled and screamed profanity at the water, he could see after studying the frozen sample that it looked like jagged edges. However, when he was loving, kind, and encouraging to the water, he saw under the microscope how the water sample looked like a snowflake or beautiful symmetrical pattern. Our professor had done something similar. She had yelled and screamed at one plate of peppers (sample A) and had lovingly and kindly spoken to the other plate of peppers (sample B). Without knowing any of this beforehand, every single one of us could taste the difference between her angry versus loving words. We had experienced what Dr. Emoto showed throughout his water studies. If you think this sounds too 'Woo-Woo', go read the book 'Hidden Messages of Water' or google Dr. Emoto's work. It will glow your mind too. How Spirituality Can Heal The World Spirituality is the connection to all things and the realization of our oneness. It transcends religion, race, sexual orientation, and gender. Spirituality is the golden thread that links every living being (human, animal, plant) together regardless of views, beliefs, or life experiences. When you remember and connect to the interconnectedness and unique divine aspect of yourself (and everyone), you can change your life view from fear and disconnection to appreciation, forgiveness, love, and kindness. As each of us aims to heal our own mind of fear and lack and reclaim our divine birthright of goodness and light, we connect more deeply to our higher self, or the soul self, that is always with you in the past, present, and future, guiding you to what's for your best. This spiritual connection to your higher self allows you to become your 'You-est You'. Imagine a world full of human beings living and acting from a deeper spiritual connectedness about compassion, understanding, love, hope, and what is possible in healing. We all have the ability to start this healing right now, and it starts with you and me. Why You Should Get A Spiritual Coaching Certification I didn't realize it, but when I worked with a coach years ago who helped me change my life trajectory, I not only transformed my thoughts and beliefs, but also my connection to God. This profound spiritual experience was just the beginning of what would continue to grow through the modality of coaching. I have seen firsthand the inherent power of coaching and how this career is truly about helping people to connect to their divinity and higher self. When trained properly, you'll learn how to quickly see others' gifts, skills, and strengths without even intending to. The biggest gift in getting a spiritual coaching certification is the transformation of your relationship with yourself. Suppose you're on the fence or have considered getting a coaching certification to learn the modality and framework and to heal your relationship with yourself. In that case, I encourage you to throw your hat over the fence and go for it. You'll never be the same person again, and your future self will thank you. Doors are open until March 10th, and you can enroll now at juliereisler.com/certification. Looking To Help Others Know Who They Are and Design Their Best Life?

In 2012, Frances had a profound encounter with Mother Mary, which changed the direction of her life and awakened her life's purpose. She has been channeling messages from Mother Mary ever since. She loves working with Highly Sensitive Souls who have a big vision and mission yet are seeking validation and personal guidance with their next steps. Frances says, "By incorporating Mother Mary's guidance along with feedback from your own energy field, and then applying the Universal Laws of Manifestation, miracles can occur." She is the author of the books Meditation is Friendship with God and How to Recognize God. Her passion is connecting women to the unconditional love of the Divine and then teaching them how to magnify that connection, which is the key to Magnifying Your Miracles. Oh, my friend, I hope you take the time to listen to this whole conversation as energy is part of everything in your life. And I mean everything. You and I are made up of energy. Our thoughts, actions, feelings, emotions, and beliefs are all made of energy. Manifestation is really the divine process of taking thoughts, emotions, and beliefs (as you know, all energy) and creating a physical, tangible, material experience or reality (all energy). Trusting Your Energy First and foremost, you need to learn to trust your energy. This is not as easy as it sounds since so many of us are taught to override our feelings and intuition so that we can fit in, please others, or do the 'right thing.' We learn early on to dismiss the messages from our own energy and body. Being a good steward of your energy and caring for yourself is not 'woo-woo.' It's practical and can keep you healthy, vibrant, and grounded. It all starts with taking responsibility for your energy and the energy you are bringing into all aspects of your life. Taking Care of Your Energy Part of taking care of your energy is doing loving things for yourself, especially your body. You'll want to think about how you want to feel. If you're not sure what to do to take care of your energy, start with these three steps: Keep it simple - start with your body and ask yourself the following questions: 'How does this experience, person, or situation make me feel? Do I feel better or worse? Journal and reflect on what you notice when you ask yourself these questions. Check in with yourself on an ongoing basis and ask yourself, 'How did that feel?' You'll soon start to notice patterns. Your Chakras and Your Energy Think of your chakras (in Sanskrit, this is translated as your 'energy wheels') as little databases. They are always recording information and storing what happened. This database can easily go offline (especially in our western, faced-paced society) when you feel angry, overwhelmed, stressed, or unsafe. One of the best ways to restore your life force energy and chakras is through forgiveness and making sure you feel safe (and be sure to put yourself on the top of the list of people to forgive). We Could All Lighten Up I don't know about you, but I easily get so serious about life. Rev. Frances talks all about the importance of lightening up. Bring in the element of fun and joy. An example might be pulling oracle cards for the new and full moon. Notice if these activities fill your bucket and nourish you; if so, keep adding energizing and revitalizing practices. Why Your Energy Matters The bottom line is that you want to make sure your energy rejuvenates you, not depletes you. This means keen attention and presence to how you're feeling. All is in your energy, and you're affected so much more than you might realize. Be sure to work on your level of presence and mindful awareness so you can begin to tune in and notice your energy and how to keep it healthy and clear. One of my favorite takeaways: Our spiritual path is learning how to honor our energy. If you take care of your energy, your energy will take care of you. To learn more about Rev.
