Speaker 1 (00:27):
Take a deep breath in through your nose. Holds it now,
release slowly again deep in, helle hold release, repeating internally
(01:03):
to yourself as you connect to my voice. I am
deeply deep Well. I am deeply well. I am deeply
(01:30):
I'm Debbie Brown and this is the Deeply Well Podcast.
Welcome to Deeply Well, a soft place to land on
your journey. A podcast for those that are curious, creative,
(01:51):
and ready to expand in higher consciousness and self care.
This is where we heal, this is where transcend. I'm
Debbie Brown. Welcome back to the show. Allmoth long, we
have been exploring a lot around regulation, supporting your needs
(02:12):
and being able to really see what is your energy
and what is someone else's. We've been diving into rituals
and practices. We've had some special conversations with beautiful guests
like my friends David Elliott and Vish Chatterjy. And now
it is time to think ahead. So we're gearing up
(02:32):
to hop into this new year twenty twenty five. Right,
And I saw this meme that really made me laugh,
and I'm going to like butcher it a little bit,
but it was so funny. It said I guess y'all
have learned your lesson. I haven't heard nobody talking about
twenty twenty five is my year. When I read that,
I started dying laughing. You know. It's like I think back,
(02:55):
I remember when twenty twenty launched, right, and just like
twenty twenty is kind of iconic numbering, but it was
before the pandemic was announced, and I remember everybody was
like twenty twenty vision, you know, like this my year,
And I think like the meme of the time was
like the illustrated girl walking up steps with like all
(03:18):
these bags on her shoulders and stepping on boxes that
had little names, and you know, it's watching kind of
the settling in over the last few years, I think
has actually been really beautiful because sometimes we can put
really performative expectations on this container of right now, this
(03:39):
bridge to the unknown, this bridge to the future, and
so it's really interesting to even be in this space now,
I think for so many and to see that meme,
and it's really not about you predicting wild success or
wild change in circumstance, right, It's not about out kind
(04:00):
of having to bump yourself up for how much bigger
you can be, or how much different it can be.
I've never really personally connected with that. I think I'm
just I'm That's not my style of communication anyway about things,
But especially at the time of the new year. You know,
this idea of like this my year, watch what happens.
(04:22):
You know, it's like, it's sweet. I like the motivation
of that, But at the same time, I've always felt
that there was something that rang a little hollow about it,
and there was something that felt almost like it created
a limit, like it had so much expectation to it
that it also provided some level of limitation because there
(04:46):
wasn't space for God, there wasn't space even for maybe
the unknown or the unrealized. And so that's just something
I was thinking about as I saw that meme that
you know, that's funny. That is actually quite beautiful to me,
to create space for what you don't know. And that's
(05:09):
the piece that a lot of people I observe miss
on the journey, right there is this idea that you're
going to go on a journey with yourself, and you
also already see the end result and the kind of
person it's going to make you. And sometimes visualizations can
be really powerful for that, Like, if you've had a
lot of pain, you can sit in a visualization and
(05:30):
say like I am imagining and I'm summing forward this
person this feeling of having a different experience. But sometimes
we use that kind of futuristic vision to actually be
a tool of avoidance than a tool of restriction. It
gets us out of the present, it gets us out
(05:51):
of the work, and it turns it a little bit
more into performance. Right, But when we're doing work or
when we are creating our dreams, we also want to
be in our bodies as that's happening. Like, that's what
makes it real, That's what makes it your human lived experience.
That's what gives it deeper meaning. Right, it becomes those
(06:13):
core memories, this testimonies, those lessons that embodied wisdom. And
so when we're thinking about this new year, I really
want to call forward in general, before the new year
even gets here, an opportunity to maybe look at it
in a couple of different ways how you may want
to go about walking into this next year. For those
(06:37):
that are connected to human design too, I am a
non specific manifestor so my design under that system means
that I do a lot better to not ask for
specific things. I know sometimes on vision boards it's like
be a specific blue car, this exact amount of money, right,
(07:00):
red stress, this man, that girl, this job, that title
a lot of times, and that may be your style.
Depending on your human design, you may be a specific
manifestor I don't know, but I do find that that
level of specificity leaves God out and it leaves the
(07:22):
room for miraculous energy completely out of things right, because
it's still such a level of control that is one
hundred percent wrapped around your understanding of yourself in this
exact moment, your ego in this exact moment, your wants
(07:44):
and needs and desires in this exact specific moment. And
so if you are on a journey right, or if
you are calling forward a life that you just don't
know really well yet that you're kind of desiring and
needing and wanting to feel, I found that it can
actually be a lot more helpful and supportive to create
(08:04):
some space around what these goals and desires are. So
that's something that is even bigger or even more special
or more uniquely fit to you can appear if it's
supposed to. So for this year, as we get ready
to move into twenty twenty five. I want to consider
(08:27):
walking into the new year without a lot of projections,
without a lot of specificity, and without a lot of expectation.
And what if we walk into this new year and
we actually choose to lean into our own unique intuition,
(08:50):
the whispers that we feel, the seeds that have been planted,
the little pings that we're getting here and there about things,
And let's lean in to the mightiness of God. What
can God do in your life this year that you
(09:12):
couldn't even conceive to put on a vision board? Where
can you bring yourself this year? If you choose to
detach and let go from all this planning and expectation
and follow the whispers, follow the symbols, follow the signs.
(09:35):
I know something that's been coming up for you. I
know things have been coming to you, especially in the
last few months. We've had so many astrological transits. There
are so many things brewing, so much is coming. But
if we stay so tight and so rigid to maybe
dreams that are outdated, people that are outdated, are we
(09:59):
really mean ourselves? The opportunity to transform, to be in purpose,
to have more, to be more deeply. Well, take a
second here, I invite you to gently close your eyes
(10:21):
as long as you are not driving, take a deep breath.
I want less to ask ourselves a couple questions before
we get a little more deeply into this deep breath in,
(11:02):
before I get into some of the work of this episode,
let's just tap into those four soul questions that you
may have heard me share before. It's one of my
favorite meditations. And as I ask each question, you can listen.
You can ask yourself internally, but don't rush to fill
(11:22):
with an answer. Who am I? Who am I? Who
am I? What do I really want? What do I
(11:55):
really want? What am I grateful for? What am I
grateful for? How can I serve? How can I serve?
(12:42):
All right, let's cleanse the palette now. I want to
bring forward five different ways that you can really interact
and co create with your new year energy. Ritualizing reflection
is my first thought on this. If you haven't already
(13:05):
done this, or if you have, do a refresh, because
the top of the year is a great time for
a refresh for this. But create a sacred space, create
a space that you were going to spend time in
all year long in some kind of a way, or
it can be an altar for your year. Light a candle,
set an intention, spend some dedicated time recapitulating or reviewing
(13:31):
your year before the new year begins. Great time to
do this is in a couple of weeks before the
new year starts, even a few days before the new
year starts. But try to get ahead of it so
you can have a little more time for creation and
really give yourself an opportunity to release any and all
that happened and was experienced this year. But really review
(13:52):
your year just for the information of it. Take stock
what happened, How much time for grief did you have?
How much time for joy did you have? What did
community look like for you? Was this a building year?
Was this a harvesting year? Was this a rest here?
(14:15):
Was this an ide eating year? Just notice what did
it represent for you? What did you find? Was maybe
one of the bigger themes of what this year was
identify the theme, get it down on paper, notice it,
save this knowing and understanding for yourself and instead of
(14:36):
only listing maybe goals and looking from it from this
standpoint of like what did you hit? What did you
do it? Ask yourself, what did I learn? What was
a lesson this year? Macro and micro ask yourself, how
(14:57):
did I grow? Spiritually? Write it down, notice it or
record it into your phone for yourself. Transcribe it, keep it,
listen back to it in the future. How did I
grow emotionally? How did I grow mentally? Creating time for
(15:20):
reflection really transforms the way you relate to your life,
the way you relate to the experiences that have happened,
the way you relate to your memories. It gives the
space for the integration of what has transpired, and it
gives the space for it to be moved into the
(15:42):
wisdom of how you live your life. It gives you
the clarity to move forward with purpose, and it gives
you the beautiful release. Second on the list of how
to move into this next year with your intuition and
(16:03):
God as the guide, embrace spiritual surrender. What if you
allowed yourself to dream big, but to gently release the
details of it and leave it one hundred percent in
God's hands. It doesn't mean that you stop moving, doesn't
(16:27):
mean that you stop intending, doesn't mean that you stop working.
You're just holding your intentions lightly without too much put
in to what the result is going to be. And
sometimes and in some ways that we're moving through life,
it can be very important and very powerful to have
(16:50):
set goals that you were going after and that you
were checking off. For everyone that's listening, that really may
not be the intended nor necessary path for this year.
Notice for yourself what it represents and move accordingly. Is
this a goals year or is this a year that
(17:12):
there can be some space for new creations to emerge.
There can be space for faith, there can be space
for trust. You'll know what the answer is for yourself. Pray, meditate,
or simply affirm I trust that what is meant for
(17:36):
me will not miss me. What is meant for me
is headed straight to me with urgency and ease. Surrendering
yourself in this way freeze you from the pressure of
(17:57):
having to control every single outcome, which you can't do anyways,
and it opens the door for some divine surprises. Third
step surrendering your twenty twenty five to your intuition and
(18:18):
to God, committing to the consistent inner work next year
than your flames, turn on your inner oven, turn on
that inner fire, grow for yourself, create for yourself a
(18:42):
soulful routine. What that can look like is daily prayer,
daily journaling, mindful movement. What you're hearing and what I'm
saying is devote to your daily practice. And devote to
your daily practice. How can you meet your own needs
(19:09):
at the deepest level? Find practices that keep you spiritually
aligned and connected to your higher purpose. This consistent care
that you do for yourself, I just cannot overstate it
is what this show is about. I talk about it
twenty four seven, I talk about it on this show
(19:29):
twenty four to seven. But this is what sustains you,
right like having a practice like this that is really
deeply connected to your soul and is in service to
your mind and to your body and to your heart.
This is what builds your endurance for your purpose. This
is what sustains you through the times that are assured
(19:52):
to come that are challenging. We are always dancing between
grief and joy, and the practice this is what allows
you to move through either end of that extreme with grace,
with ease, with joy, with purpose, with usefulness, with wisdom.
(20:17):
Fourth on the list, surrounding yourself with inspired community. Now
this is a big one. The last few years, we
have been diving into the individualistic journey. Right. We've been
doing our individual work, which has been so important and
it has to be done. But when you do it,
then it's time to open back up to community. Right.
(20:37):
It's that closing of the circle. It's the completion. It
is the hero's journey from Joseph Campbell, or it's like
in The Alchemist where you slay your dragons. You have
your adventure, you have your experiences, and then you return
home to share them with your community, to bring them back,
(21:00):
to bring the learning back, to bring the knowledge back,
to bring the love back, to help everyone create something new.
And that's what it really feels like we are ready
for for those that have been doing the work right now,
it's time to have the elevated community. So if you
want to carry divine purpose into the new year, intentionally
(21:22):
connect with communities, with mentors, with friends who share your
spiritual values and uplift your spirit. It's not about more,
and it's not necessarily about new though sometimes it is.
It's really about the depth. Can you go deeper? Can
(21:44):
you be deeper with those you're in community with, Can
the quality of the experience between you and what you share,
be higher, be in the presence of those who also
(22:07):
embrace surrender and trust and can spark greater devotion and
faith within you. That is really important. That is really important.
You cannot be the most hopeful, optimistic person in your
friend group. Something is wrong. If that's the case, you're
a martyr. If that's the case, there's something way too
(22:27):
self righteous about it. If that's the case, that's not
what God's intended path is. It's not for you to
be the one of one of you in your space
to the point where it's to your detriment being around
others that feel that way, that grow that way, that
move that way. That is what community is. That is
(22:50):
the path. You can dip your toe back onto the
other side. Right. You can do your good works with
people you care about, but when it comes to community,
it has to be it has to be mutually sustaining
for all parties. And my final point for this episode
(23:11):
and for this exercise is engage in heart centered service.
If the things that you are working on and the
things that you are creating only benefit you, it is
too small. You must be a tree that bears fruit.
The things that you are creating should not be for
(23:35):
your own self aggrandizing. It should not be to fill
that void of validation that you're craving. It should be
for the greater good of all. It should be for humanity.
It should serve you, and it should be birthed from
your creativity and your vision. And it should be beneficial
(23:57):
to you as well. You deserve that. But if it's
just for you, start over. Look again, If it's just
for you, there's some work to do. There's another way
that you can feel whole and loved inside the work
of your life is for all, or it's too small.
So think about that. Moving in to this new year
(24:21):
in twenty twenty five, we are surrendering to our own
intuition and to God. That's it. That's it. Let's see
what comes. You might be someone you never dreamed of.
You might have experiences, You might have a purpose you
(24:44):
could never really think of yourself, because you created the
space to bring it in. You created the space for
something new, for something else. Be with that, sit in that.
So I'm going to go through those again, briefly ritualizing
(25:05):
your reflection number one, number two, embracing spiritual surrender Number three,
Committing to consistent inner work, number four surrounding yourself with
inspired community, and number five engaging in heart centered service.
(25:29):
Take a deep breath here, let's let that settle in.
Here's an affirmation that I'd love to gift you and
(25:51):
invite you to try on for yourself. I trust in
the Divine plan for my life. I am prepared, open
and ready to receive an affirmation for twenty twenty five.
(26:14):
I trust in the divine plan for my life. I
am prepared, open and ready to receive. I trust in
the Divine plan for my life. I am prepared, ready
(26:40):
and open to receive. Oh. I love that. That felt
(27:07):
so good. Dive into some of those, spend some time
with some of those, especially before this year. Get started
something that we discuss last episode, which I just want
to bring back up for review and invite you to
do if you haven't cleansed your spaces. One of my
favorite things to do, especially before I head out to
my sacred, sacred, sacred New Year in Mexico, to go
(27:29):
see my whales that y'all know about. I talk about
them every year. You'll be in a whale episode soon.
I hope I get to see them this year. That
is my desire but something that I love to do
this time of year is to just energetically cleanse. I
am given myself all the scalp treatments, gosh, shine my
whole body all the time, just letting myself detox. I'm
(27:51):
giving myself lymph massage to continue to let my body detox.
I typically like to eat a lot lighter this time
of the year, which is so counter intuitive because the sweets,
My God, just everywhere is pie, like everywhere is something
so delicious filled with gluten. But I try to eat lighter.
(28:12):
I try to drink more water, drink more juice to
kind of counteract some of the other things that can
feel destabilizing at this time of year. Right, we went
over this last episode, the people, the amount of stimulation,
the trauma, the memories, all of the things that happen,
the expectations, also the fun. But it's a lot energetically physically, mind, body,
(28:35):
and soul. So I try to do a lot to
meet that need. As you're working through these exercises and
being with some of this curriculum, I want you to
think of it in that as well. Continue to support
this space that you're creating by also cleansing your energy, sage, incense, burns,
some smoke, some fire, pello, Santo capaul. Whatever is your pleasure,
(28:57):
whatever scent brings you to life and makes you feel
good and more whole, Light it up, cleanse your energy,
light a fire, if you can, open your windows, if
you can Sometimes right, it might be snowing where you are,
But whatever's possible. Do what's possible. Cleanse your home, declutter,
(29:19):
clear out some space before the top of the new year.
Do the organizing that you wanted to do. Do the gifting,
do the good willhul do whatever you need to both
energetically physically. Make space. You're making space in the physical world.
Make space in your heart. You're making space in your heart.
(29:41):
Make space in your mind. You're making space in your mind.
Make space in your body. You're making space in your body,
make space at your home. It all feeds itself, right,
All these different chambers always lead back to the whole picture.
So consider the facets, consider all the ways that you're
(30:03):
going to show up in those ways. Thank you so
much for joining this episode. I cannot wait to see
you in the new year. I am open to the
miraculous energy of twenty twenty five. I am open to
great outcomes beyond my comprehension, to flow into my life
(30:25):
with miraculous energy, grace, ease, prosperity, abundance, safety, stability, fun

are so many things brewing, so much is coming. But
if we stay so tight and so rigid to maybe
dreams that are outdated, people that are outdated, are we
(09:59):
really mean ourselves? The opportunity to transform, to be in purpose,
to have more, to be more deeply. Well, take a
second here, I invite you to gently close your eyes
(10:21):
as long as you are not driving, take a deep breath.
I want less to ask ourselves a couple questions before
we get a little more deeply into this deep breath in,
(11:02):
before I get into some of the work of this episode,
let's just tap into those four soul questions that you
may have heard me share before. It's one of my
favorite meditations. And as I ask each question, you can listen.
You can ask yourself internally, but don't rush to fill
(11:22):
with an answer. Who am I? Who am I? Who
am I? What do I really want? What do I
(11:55):
really want? What am I grateful for? What am I
grateful for? How can I serve? How can I serve?
(12:42):
All right, let's cleanse the palette now. I want to
bring forward five different ways that you can really interact
and co create with your new year energy. Ritualizing reflection
is my first thought on this. If you haven't already
(13:05):
done this, or if you have, do a refresh, because
the top of the year is a great time for
a refresh for this. But create a sacred space, create
a space that you were going to spend time in
all year long in some kind of a way, or
it can be an altar for your year. Light a candle,
set an intention, spend some dedicated time recapitulating or reviewing
(13:31):
your year before the new year begins. Great time to
do this is in a couple of weeks before the
new year starts, even a few days before the new
year starts. But try to get ahead of it so
you can have a little more time for creation and
really give yourself an opportunity to release any and all
that happened and was experienced this year. But really review
(13:52):
your year just for the information of it. Take stock
what happened, How much time for grief did you have?
How much time for joy did you have? What did
community look like for you? Was this a building year?
Was this a harvesting year? Was this a rest here?
(14:15):
Was this an ide eating year? Just notice what did
it represent for you? What did you find? Was maybe
one of the bigger themes of what this year was
identify the theme, get it down on paper, notice it,
save this knowing and understanding for yourself and instead of
(14:36):
only listing maybe goals and looking from it from this
standpoint of like what did you hit? What did you
do it? Ask yourself, what did I learn? What was
a lesson this year? Macro and micro ask yourself, how
(14:57):
did I grow? Spiritually? Write it down, notice it or
record it into your phone for yourself. Transcribe it, keep it,
listen back to it in the future. How did I
grow emotionally? How did I grow mentally? Creating time for
(15:20):
reflection really transforms the way you relate to your life,
the way you relate to the experiences that have happened,
the way you relate to your memories. It gives the
space for the integration of what has transpired, and it
gives the space for it to be moved into the
(15:42):
wisdom of how you live your life. It gives you
the clarity to move forward with purpose, and it gives
you the beautiful release. Second on the list of how
to move into this next year with your intuition and
(16:03):
God as the guide, embrace spiritual surrender. What if you
allowed yourself to dream big, but to gently release the
details of it and leave it one hundred percent in
God's hands. It doesn't mean that you stop moving, doesn't
(16:27):
mean that you stop intending, doesn't mean that you stop working.
You're just holding your intentions lightly without too much put
in to what the result is going to be. And
sometimes and in some ways that we're moving through life,
it can be very important and very powerful to have
(16:50):
set goals that you were going after and that you
were checking off. For everyone that's listening, that really may
not be the intended nor necessary path for this year.
Notice for yourself what it represents and move accordingly. Is
this a goals year or is this a year that
(17:12):
there can be some space for new creations to emerge.
There can be space for faith, there can be space
for trust. You'll know what the answer is for yourself. Pray, meditate,
or simply affirm I trust that what is meant for
(17:36):
me will not miss me. What is meant for me
is headed straight to me with urgency and ease. Surrendering
yourself in this way freeze you from the pressure of
(17:57):
having to control every single outcome, which you can't do anyways,
and it opens the door for some divine surprises. Third
step surrendering your twenty twenty five to your intuition and
(18:18):
to God, committing to the consistent inner work next year
than your flames, turn on your inner oven, turn on
that inner fire, grow for yourself, create for yourself a
(18:42):
soulful routine. What that can look like is daily prayer,
daily journaling, mindful movement. What you're hearing and what I'm
saying is devote to your daily practice. And devote to
your daily practice. How can you meet your own needs
(19:09):
at the deepest level? Find practices that keep you spiritually
aligned and connected to your higher purpose. This consistent care
that you do for yourself, I just cannot overstate it
is what this show is about. I talk about it
twenty four seven, I talk about it on this show
(19:29):
twenty four to seven. But this is what sustains you,
right like having a practice like this that is really
deeply connected to your soul and is in service to
your mind and to your body and to your heart.
This is what builds your endurance for your purpose. This
is what sustains you through the times that are assured
(19:52):
to come that are challenging. We are always dancing between
grief and joy, and the practice this is what allows
you to move through either end of that extreme with grace,
with ease, with joy, with purpose, with usefulness, with wisdom.
(20:17):
Fourth on the list, surrounding yourself with inspired community. Now
this is a big one. The last few years, we
have been diving into the individualistic journey. Right. We've been
doing our individual work, which has been so important and
it has to be done. But when you do it,
then it's time to open back up to community. Right.
(20:37):
It's that closing of the circle. It's the completion. It
is the hero's journey from Joseph Campbell, or it's like
in The Alchemist where you slay your dragons. You have
your adventure, you have your experiences, and then you return
home to share them with your community, to bring them back,
(21:00):
to bring the learning back, to bring the knowledge back,
to bring the love back, to help everyone create something new.
And that's what it really feels like we are ready
for for those that have been doing the work right now,
it's time to have the elevated community. So if you
want to carry divine purpose into the new year, intentionally
(21:22):
connect with communities, with mentors, with friends who share your
spiritual values and uplift your spirit. It's not about more,
and it's not necessarily about new though sometimes it is.
It's really about the depth. Can you go deeper? Can
(21:44):
you be deeper with those you're in community with, Can
the quality of the experience between you and what you share,
be higher, be in the presence of those who also
(22:07):
embrace surrender and trust and can spark greater devotion and
faith within you. That is really important. That is really important.
You cannot be the most hopeful, optimistic person in your
friend group. Something is wrong. If that's the case, you're
a martyr. If that's the case, there's something way too
(22:27):
self righteous about it. If that's the case, that's not
what God's intended path is. It's not for you to
be the one of one of you in your space
to the point where it's to your detriment being around
others that feel that way, that grow that way, that
move that way. That is what community is. That is
(22:50):
the path. You can dip your toe back onto the
other side. Right. You can do your good works with
people you care about, but when it comes to community,
it has to be it has to be mutually sustaining
for all parties. And my final point for this episode
(23:11):
and for this exercise is engage in heart centered service.
If the things that you are working on and the
things that you are creating only benefit you, it is
too small. You must be a tree that bears fruit.
The things that you are creating should not be for
(23:35):
your own self aggrandizing. It should not be to fill
that void of validation that you're craving. It should be
for the greater good of all. It should be for humanity.
It should serve you, and it should be birthed from
your creativity and your vision. And it should be beneficial
(23:57):
to you as well. You deserve that. But if it's
just for you, start over. Look again, If it's just
for you, there's some work to do. There's another way
that you can feel whole and loved inside the work
of your life is for all, or it's too small.
So think about that. Moving in to this new year
(24:21):
in twenty twenty five, we are surrendering to our own
intuition and to God. That's it. That's it. Let's see
what comes. You might be someone you never dreamed of.
You might have experiences, You might have a purpose you
(24:44):
could never really think of yourself, because you created the
space to bring it in. You created the space for
something new, for something else. Be with that, sit in that.
So I'm going to go through those again, briefly ritualizing
(25:05):
your reflection number one, number two, embracing spiritual surrender Number three,
Committing to consistent inner work, number four surrounding yourself with
inspired community, and number five engaging in heart centered service.
(25:29):
Take a deep breath here, let's let that settle in.
Here's an affirmation that I'd love to gift you and
(25:51):
invite you to try on for yourself. I trust in
the Divine plan for my life. I am prepared, open
and ready to receive an affirmation for twenty twenty five.
(26:14):
I trust in the divine plan for my life. I
am prepared, open and ready to receive. I trust in
the Divine plan for my life. I am prepared, ready
(26:40):
and open to receive. Oh. I love that. That felt
(27:07):
so good. Dive into some of those, spend some time
with some of those, especially before this year. Get started
something that we discuss last episode, which I just want
to bring back up for review and invite you to
do if you haven't cleansed your spaces. One of my
favorite things to do, especially before I head out to
my sacred, sacred, sacred New Year in Mexico, to go
(27:29):
see my whales that y'all know about. I talk about
them every year. You'll be in a whale episode soon.
I hope I get to see them this year. That
is my desire but something that I love to do
this time of year is to just energetically cleanse. I
am given myself all the scalp treatments, gosh, shine my
whole body all the time, just letting myself detox. I'm
(27:51):
giving myself lymph massage to continue to let my body detox.
I typically like to eat a lot lighter this time
of the year, which is so counter intuitive because the sweets,
My God, just everywhere is pie, like everywhere is something
so delicious filled with gluten. But I try to eat lighter.
(28:12):
I try to drink more water, drink more juice to
kind of counteract some of the other things that can
feel destabilizing at this time of year. Right, we went
over this last episode, the people, the amount of stimulation,
the trauma, the memories, all of the things that happen,
the expectations, also the fun. But it's a lot energetically physically, mind, body,
(28:35):
and soul. So I try to do a lot to
meet that need. As you're working through these exercises and
being with some of this curriculum, I want you to
think of it in that as well. Continue to support
this space that you're creating by also cleansing your energy, sage, incense, burns,
some smoke, some fire, pello, Santo capaul. Whatever is your pleasure,
(28:57):
whatever scent brings you to life and makes you feel
good and more whole, Light it up, cleanse your energy,
light a fire, if you can, open your windows, if
you can Sometimes right, it might be snowing where you are,
But whatever's possible. Do what's possible. Cleanse your home, declutter,
(29:19):
clear out some space before the top of the new year.
Do the organizing that you wanted to do. Do the gifting,
do the good willhul do whatever you need to both
energetically physically. Make space. You're making space in the physical world.
Make space in your heart. You're making space in your heart.
(29:41):
Make space in your mind. You're making space in your mind.
Make space in your body. You're making space in your body,
make space at your home. It all feeds itself, right,
All these different chambers always lead back to the whole picture.
So consider the facets, consider all the ways that you're
(30:03):
going to show up in those ways. Thank you so
much for joining this episode. I cannot wait to see
you in the new year. I am open to the
miraculous energy of twenty twenty five. I am open to
great outcomes beyond my comprehension, to flow into my life
(30:25):
with miraculous energy, grace, ease, prosperity, abundance, safety, stability, fun
