I discovered tapping as a really good tool
2
:for healing physical symptoms.
3
:And back then, I was looking for
tools to help me with migraines.
4
:I was getting monthly headaches.
5
:And, and also hay fever as
well, seasonal allergies.
6
:I used to suffer really badly
from seasonal allergies.
7
:And I'd, I'd kind of heard that
this tapping thing could be good.
8
:So I think it was hay
fever I did it on first.
9
:And this is when I was
really like, oh my gosh.
10
:So before I even knew that it could
help on mindset and limiting beliefs,
11
:it helped me with physical issues.

35
:I have been tapping with you for a few
years now, and I'm so excited that we're
36
:talking today, finally, because I have
had some major shifts from tapping.
37
:So Mel, I would love to just hear
how you got started tapping and
38
:how it became a business for you.
39
:Melanie Moore: Well firstly,
thank you so much for having me.
40
:It's absolute pleasure
to be on your podcast.
41
:So.
42
:I have always been interested
in holistic therapies, personal
43
:development, and mindset.
44
:And to rewind many years, I
worked in the corporate world.
45
:I was a journalist.
46
:I worked for the BBC.
47
:And then I guess, as you
mentioned, I love to help women
48
:at crossroads in their lives.
49
:And I found myself at
several crossroads myself.
50
:And the first one was kind of,
Leaving the corporate world
51
:but becoming a mother as well.
52
:So my son is 19 now and I Decided to leave
the corporate world and start business
53
:as a holistic therapist So I started
off doing Reiki reflexology, and I'd
54
:say it was around just after my daughter
My daughter was born, so I'd say about
55
:15 years ago, I discovered Emotional
Freedom Techniques, discovered Tapping.
56
:And back then, my holistic therapy
career started off helping women on their
57
:fertility, their childbirth journey, so
that my Reiki and Reflexology sessions
58
:were all for women trying to get
pregnant and throughout their pregnancy.
59
:Then I discovered EFT and I
brought that into my business as
60
:well, helping women with their
anxieties around getting pregnant.
61
:And again, with same fertility
journey, but I found that tapping
62
:was getting much better results.
63
:And, I could also then start to
work with people online as well.
64
:I could do tapping over Skype.
65
:Skype came around before Zoom did.
66
:And then I could start to work
with international clients as well.
67
:But on the side, I also, because I was
really interested in personal development,
68
:manifesting the law of attraction, I
started to do vision board workshops.
69
:And I hosted these locally,
near my house, in hotels.
70
:I then started to do corporate
vision board workshops because I
71
:just started an online business.
72
:I was then doing these vision
board workshops online as well.
73
:And at some point, probably about seven
or eight years ago, I kind of thought
74
:there's, there's a bit of a link here.
75
:There's a natural way that tapping
can be bought into the business.
76
:So my business tapping into your big
vision was born where I bought the
77
:tapping into the vision board workshops.
78
:And I realized that actually
the whole manifesting game is.
79
:All to do with emotions and mindset.
80
:And it was then, it was
like a lightbulb moment.
81
:Oh my gosh, making a vision
board on its own isn't enough.
82
:We have to get clear on the vision.
83
:And then it's how do we
navigate the journey of life?
84
:That's yes, you've made your vision
board and you think, yay, I'm just
85
:going to manifest all the things,
but life doesn't really work
86
:that way because things happen.
87
:We have all sorts of problems.
88
:Just doing a call in my members
group yesterday and I said,
89
:life is such a rollercoaster.
90
:We had really sad situation where one
of my clients passed away recently.
91
:And then another one of my clients
in the same group, literally on the
92
:same day, she shared her story of how
18 months ago she was brokenhearted.
93
:She was looking for deep, meaningful love.
94
:And after working with me for
a couple of sessions, she met.
95
:The love of her life and literally
she was sharing the group that, you
96
:know, she'd just had their baby.
97
:So 18 months from being from
heartbroken to like, Oh my God, am
98
:I ever going to find a man to now
just kind of sharing the group?
99
:She's just had a baby.
100
:So life is sad.
101
:It's tragic.
102
:We've got bereavement to deal with.
103
:We've got lost, got heartache
and all the while we want to.
104
:Manifest big things.
105
:So I just think tapping is just such
a wonderful tool to help us through
106
:all of that, need it to get clear
on what we want, but we need it to
107
:help us through the journey as well.
108
:Sorry, it's a very long-winded
answer to your question.
109
:I'm not even sure if
I've answered it or not.
110
:Holly Ostara: No, it
that's a great answer.
111
:One of the things that I keep
coming back to as you were talking
112
:is that everybody says in order
to manifest, you've gotta feel it.
113
:You can't just want it or
put it on a vision board.
114
:You have to feel it.
115
:And you were saying that you found
that EFT was working much better than
116
:reflexology and Reiki, and do you
think the connection there is because
117
:of the emotion and being able to
feel it better when you do tapping?
118
:How would you explain it?
119
:How, how well it works?
120
:Melanie Moore: Well, I think what tapping
does, it basically rewires our brains.
121
:It helps to shift our thought patterns.
122
:And the only reason we are feeling
bad or anxious or fearful or worried
123
:is because there is some kind of
negative chatter going on in our head.
124
:And what tapping does, it addresses
the emotion that you're feeling
125
:fear, anxiety, overwhelm, whatever.
126
:But through the course of a round of
tapping, and you've seen my videos, it
127
:can happen very quickly, within five
to ten minutes, we shift that language
128
:from letting go of that feeling that
we're feeling, and we're replacing
129
:it with a more positive feeling.
130
:We're replacing it with positive language
because it's the thoughts that create the
131
:feeling, it's not the other way around.
132
:We only feel things because of the
things that's going on in our head.
133
:And of course, please don't get me
wrong, no, reflexology sessions, massage,
134
:Reiki, they're amazing treatments and
I have them myself because it's really
135
:nice just to have that treatment.
136
:But sometimes it's just like getting to
the the core of the thoughts and sometimes
137
:people don't even know what it is is
kind of causing the patterns until it's
138
:like it's a therapy session, so you're
having this therapy, you're talking about
139
:whatever it is the problem is, but we
are flipping on its head and instead of
140
:focusing what we don't want, I think,
actually, what is it you do want instead?
141
:And as soon as we start focusing what we
do want, the emotions we want to feel.
142
:We just feel better.
143
:It's as simple as that.
144
:Holly Ostara: It's true.
145
:I always do feel better after I tap.
146
:It's on my habit tracker to tap every day.
147
:And it's interesting that you say it's
the thoughts because sometimes if I'm
148
:watching one of your videos and we're just
kind of tapping along and it's on maybe
149
:making more money or something like that.
150
:Some of the, I would say I
don't know the right word.
151
:Sentences, the prompts that we say,
I'm like, I didn't even think of
152
:that, but yeah, I'm feeling that.
153
:So it fits.
154
:And, and, and I didn't even realize
that that's what I was feeling
155
:until we started tapping on it.
156
:Melanie Moore: A lot of people ask me,
Oh, how do you come up with your scripts?
157
:I don't script any of them ever.
158
:I tune into Whatever it is that the
topic that I'm going to be tapping
159
:on, and I literally feel into it.
160
:Sometimes it's a request from
one of my members community.
161
:Sometimes it's on YouTube.
162
:People will, if lots of people ask
for a particular one, or sometimes
163
:think, you know what, I feel that
this is what people need right now.
164
:And, in the moment, I guess
it's a form of channeling.
165
:In the moment, I don't even notice
the words that are coming through.
166
:And afterwards, I watch it back and
I don't even remember saying that.
167
:It's just literally been
divinely downloaded.
168
:Out it comes.
169
:I know you help writers as well.
170
:It's the same with writing.
171
:I do believe it's a form of channeling
that we are divinely inspired to create.
172
:I think it's the same with
songwriters, artists, musicians.
173
:We are all channeling, I don't
know, God's work, universe, source,
174
:whatever terminology we want to use.
175
:Where does the word
inspiration even come from?
176
:It comes from being in spirit, I believe.
177
:So I do believe we get that
Download, divine download.
178
:And for me, it's
downloading, tapping videos.
179
:Holly Ostara: I mean,
somebody has to do it, right?
180
:And I personally think that anytime
somebody gets writer's block, I don't
181
:really believe in writer's block,
but there's, there's definitely
182
:something going on there, but.
183
:I think it has to do with just
blocking that your ability to
184
:kind of download or just intuit.
185
:What words you're supposed to say,
or what words are meant to come out
186
:because something's going on stress or
having a long day or a lot of stuff.
187
:And it's just.
188
:Kind of, like, prevents your ability
to download, which is what I think
189
:writer's block ends up being.
190
:So, I would love to hear about some of
the moments you've had with yourself and
191
:maybe some shifts that you've experienced
if you're willing to share some of those.
192
:Melanie Moore: Oh my gosh, I
don't even know where to begin.
193
:Me, I discovered tapping as a really
good tool for healing physical symptoms.
194
:And back then, I was looking for
tools to help me with migraines.
195
:I was getting monthly headaches.
196
:And, and also hay fever as
well, seasonal allergies.
197
:I used to suffer really badly
from seasonal allergies.
198
:And I'd, I'd kind of heard that
this tapping thing could be good.
199
:So I think it was hay
fever I did it on first.
200
:And this is when I was
really like, oh my gosh.
201
:So before I even knew that it could
help on mindset and limiting beliefs,
202
:it helped me with physical issues.
203
:And I've always been very interested
in the mind body connection.
204
:So they were the first big like, oh
my gosh, just 10 minutes of this means
205
:I don't have to take an antihistamine
or ibuprofen or paracetamol.
206
:So that was the first thing,
but I'd say my biggest.
207
:Aha was probably realizing I could use
it as a manifesting tool and particularly
208
:around money and my marriage ended
probably about nine years ago and my
209
:children were still quite young then
and of course suddenly I became the
210
:breadwinner in the house and having to
like put a roof over two children's heads
211
:and, and really questioning, can I sustain
myself in business or am I going to have
212
:to go back to my old corporate career?
213
:It was a, that was a real crossroads.
214
:And I'd already, I'd
already made the decision.
215
:I wanted to run my own business when I
had the children because I didn't want to
216
:be back then before the kids were born.
217
:I was getting on the train at
seven o'clock in the morning
218
:and I wasn't coming home.
219
:Till from London till seven o'clock at
night and I knew that when the children
220
:came along I wanted to be at home but
I also wanted to run my own business.
221
:So this aha moment came when I
really tapped on money anxiety.
222
:I was tapping a lot, oh my gosh, I
was tapping several times a day for,
223
:it was like a prayer, it was like
tapping for assistance from the divine.
224
:And it was like, it was sometimes it's
just simplest, you know, even though I
225
:really don't know what to do right now,
I'm open to be showing the next step,
226
:even though I really don't know, even
though I'm full of fear and anxiety,
227
:I'm open to receiving inspiration.
228
:And I would use it as
kind of a meditation.
229
:And then I'd kind of sit and
meditate and then answers would come.
230
:And, but I remember one moment
I was tapping at an ATM machine
231
:because I was scared to look at my.
232
:Bank balance and I sat there just tapping
thinking even though I'm feeling so
233
:anxious right now I choose to feel calm,
even though whatever the figure says
234
:on the screen I know that I can deal
with it and I was just making it up.
235
:I choose to feel calm I
choose to feel relaxed.
236
:I choose to trust that it's all okay.
237
:And then I Put in my pin number.
238
:I looked at that.
239
:Oh my gosh I've got 500 pounds more
here than I thought I had and in the
240
:moment it felt like a miracle calm
The money was probably already there,
241
:but in that moment, it just, wow, this
just feels like a miracle because that
242
:money shouldn't have been there, but it
was there and I just kept continuing.
243
:That's like tapping for clients.
244
:I was tapping for money making ideas and
then it was kind of around this time.
245
:I was kind of asked, how can I take my
business from just a local business All my
246
:client base was probably moms at school.
247
:They were people local to my community.
248
:My advertising was in my
local coffee shops and I don't
249
:think anyone further came.
250
:See it was all at home.
251
:I thought, how can I take
my work, bigger audience?
252
:And then this app came up.
253
:It was literally within a few days
this app came along called Periscope.
254
:I dunno if you ever remember that.
255
:Holly Ostara: I remember, yeah.
256
:Melanie Moore: I was super active
on per immediately I thought.
257
:I love this app.
258
:And I could just suddenly
start talking about mindset.
259
:I was doing live tapping.
260
:I wasn't doing it anywhere else.
261
:I didn't really have a YouTube channel
then, but I grew an audience quite
262
:quickly and an international audience.
263
:So suddenly I was getting like
one to one bookings from people in
264
:America and Australia and Europe.
265
:And it's just kind of just gave
me the confidence to like, Oh
266
:my gosh, my client base isn't.
267
:Just local.
268
:And then shortly after that, I
then took my business online.
269
:So I truly believe it all kind of
came from, that's why I call my
270
:business Jumping Into Your Big Vision,
because we all have goals, we all
271
:have dreams, but most of us don't.
272
:Don't have the courage to, we
don't believe it's possible.
273
:If you told me 10 years ago, and I've
just had this milestone on, I think
274
:I've just gone over a million views, not
subscribers, but a million views on my
275
:YouTube channel, which felt like a huge
milestone because I've got a million
276
:people tapped along with my videos.
277
:And that's a huge amount of impact.
278
:That's a huge, and I know lots of
them are the same people who come back
279
:again and again, but I see the channels
growing at quite a quick rate now.
280
:So it feels like an exaggeration when you
say, Oh, no, impact millions of people.
281
:That's kind of literally
where I'm getting to.
282
:And I would never have believed
that was possible and 10 years ago.
283
:So, and I think that's why,
you know, you shared my bio.
284
:I do love to help people to dream
bigger, to see beyond what's possible.
285
:I think one of my.
286
:One of my party tricks, one of my gifts
is that I can meet somebody and I often
287
:mention like even Uber drivers, I love
chatting with Uber drivers and usually
288
:they've got goals, they've got dreams,
they've got all these things, all
289
:these things they're doing on the side.
290
:And usually by the end of the
trip, I've given them a blueprint.
291
:This is what you need to do.
292
:This, this, this, and this,
and you can stop driving Ubers.
293
:So I let you do it with anyone, but most
people it's like you can lead a horse
294
:to water, but you can't make it drink.
295
:So often I see the big vision people,
but then we enter a whole new.
296
:set of mindset stuff.
297
:I think, okay, I've given you the idea.
298
:I can see the vision for you,
but I can't do the work for you.
299
:You've got to believe in yourself.
300
:You've got to take action.
301
:You've got to have courage.
302
:Do that next step.
303
:And yeah, so, but of course then
people then, sometimes people
304
:then want to be coached further
to, like, it's like any coach.
305
:I work with a personal trainer at the
gym at the moment, because I know if
306
:I go to the gym on my own, I will not
work anywhere near as hard as when
307
:I'm working with my personal trainer.
308
:Holly Ostara: Yeah, 100%.
309
:Everybody says do a yoga class at home,
do a video yoga class and I can't.
310
:I need somebody looking at me and
giving me that evil eye if I'm
311
:not, if I'm not participating.
312
:Or gentle encouragement.
313
:Or gentle encouragement, yes.
314
:We're all here together, you
get what you came for, but I
315
:need somebody to remind me that.
316
:So.
317
:One of the schools of thought,
well, there's so many schools of
318
:thought around manifesting, and
one of the schools of thought is
319
:that it's all just kind of magic.
320
:I love that, that's beautiful,
but I don't believe that.
321
:I believe that manifesting is that, as
you said, there is a big vision available
322
:for you, and you can see it, and maybe
sometimes the person it's for can't see
323
:it, and that everything is within reach.
324
:But we put our own little blinders
up and doing all these different
325
:techniques, like light tapping, it
helps you take those blinders off so
326
:that you can actually grab that vision.
327
:And that's what I've
experienced in my life.
328
:So like, I can be really close to
something like when I was taking my
329
:business from just being kind of word
of mouth referrals and kind of a side
330
:hustle sort of thing to growing it to a
full time business, I I knew that there
331
:was something out there, but I, but I
kept thinking, oh, oh, I've, but I've
332
:never gotten a client that I didn't, that
didn't know somebody that I know before.
333
:I've never gotten a client
who never knew me before.
334
:And then I would tap on it and
just say, you know what, this is
335
:definitely something I can reach.
336
:And then the next day, the next
day, I would get a booking from
337
:somebody that I'd never heard
of, who I had never met before.
338
:And.
339
:I guess there's some sort of magic
to that, but I think that it's
340
:really just more like God or the
universe was waiting for me to,
341
:to kind of say, okay, I'm ready.
342
:And once I did, everything came.
343
:Melanie Moore: There is, there is so much
magic out there and sometimes the only way
344
:you can say, oh my gosh, that was magic.
345
:But I do believe that when you are ready,
Whatever it is you want or you need
346
:comes and some things do take longer than
others and some things you know, I'm so
347
:patiently waiting for and of course there
are some times when things seem to be
348
:going really well and when the universe
throws a curveball your way and it's
349
:all right I didn't manifest that where
did that come from but I believe there's
350
:kind of lessons to be learned in that as
well and and life isn't this easy ride.
351
:It's really hard.
352
:It's really challenging.
353
:And Even as we go through, you know,
we're talking just briefly before
354
:we went live, just same journey
as, as our journey as parents.
355
:When you deal with a baby, it's
very different to dealing with
356
:the toddler, to dealing with a
10 year old, to dealing with what
357
:I've got now, 16 and 19 year old.
358
:Now I've got colleges,
universities to look at.
359
:It's kind of a worrying about your
kids when they go out driving.
360
:It's parties and it's boys or girls
and it's, and it's dealing with their
361
:emotions and their upsets as well.
362
:You're suddenly living.
363
:Not you're not living their lives,
but of course you're their parent
364
:and you're not suddenly just detached
from them because they're a bit older.
365
:In fact, if anything, when they're
upset or if they've got to go
366
:through challenging time, it's
like, oh my gosh, it suddenly
367
:becomes your challenge as well.
368
:So then, and me, I've got
elderly parents as well.
369
:My dad's got dementia.
370
:My mom is 86 and she's got.
371
:Mobility issues just like now I've kind
of got to keep an eye on them as well
372
:It's just not plain sailing But I think
it's quite beautiful as well this journey
373
:that when we've got mindset tools It
makes the journey so much easier because
374
:otherwise you're just gonna you're just
gonna want a bottle of wine each night
375
:I very rarely drink by the way, but I
think that's what most people use to
376
:cope with life And, and actually there
was so many other better things and to
377
:cope and, but also my kids, my daughter,
especially she taps, she shares my video
378
:with her friends, which is amazing.
379
:I always thought she would, as she
did go through a little phase of
380
:being a bit embarrassed about what
I did, but she's over that now.
381
:But yeah, it's just such a wonderful
tool to help us navigate things.
382
:But also when we get aligned and in
flow, that's when the magic happens.
383
:That's when we can manifest some
really cool stuff in our life.
384
:Holly Ostara: I love it.
385
:It's been so helpful for me.
386
:I know once a year that you do a
prosperity party Coming up soon
387
:coming up soon and you help people
manifest things in five days?
388
:Can you tell me about that?

396
:Oh, and be sure to subscribe to the

397
:And now back to the show.
398
:Melanie Moore: Yeah, well, again,
the origin story of this prosperity
399
:party, it was, it was kind of an
ATM encounter was, was one thing.
400
:But then, funnily enough, it
was when I was on Periscope.
401
:So I think this year we are going to
be in the eighth or the ninth year,
402
:plus count actually of the person.
403
:First year I did it was, This live
experiment on Periscope where I
404
:said, look, I need, I used to go on
Periscope two, three times a day and
405
:I would literally just chat to people.
406
:I'd often get the same viewers
come on and I'd just talk about my
407
:life, my kids, what was going on.
408
:And I was like, I think I'd had one
of those weeks where I'd had a lot
409
:of bills that have come out of the
blue and, and I said, look guys,
410
:I'm going to do a little challenge.
411
:Come play along with me this week.
412
:I need to manifest a thousand pounds.
413
:Because I've got car bills to pay,
I've got a couple of other bills
414
:to pay, so who wants to play along
with me and manifest some money?
415
:So it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
who doesn't want to manifest money?
416
:So for five days, I showed up to
do daily tapping, but with also
417
:some other exercises as well.
418
:There was a gratitude
task to do every day.
419
:And every day I said, right, today I'm
going to be doing some decluttering.
420
:I'm going to make space for
the abundance to come in.
421
:And it kind of formed this blueprint
of, what is now in its ninth year,
422
:the prosperity party, where I set
this intention that I set a collective
423
:intention that people are going to
manifest a minimum of 500 pounds or
424
:500 or 500 euros or whatever currency,
because I think 500 pounds, 500, it's,
425
:it's kind of a nice amount of money.
426
:Like who wouldn't want that?
427
:500 pounds to come out
the blue within five days.
428
:You know, I'm always open
to 500 pounds coming.
429
:It's a nice amount of money,
but it's not a lottery win.
430
:It's not an unbelievable amount of money.
431
:So I want to keep it kind of within the
realms of possibility and believability,
432
:because that's how we manifest quicker
when we believe it's going to happen.
433
:Now, and I said to people, if
there's a different amount, you
434
:set the intention, but tell me
what do you want the money for?
435
:So that's always the
kind of key part of it.
436
:What are you going to do with that money?
437
:So the prosperity party is five
days of tapping challenges.
438
:We also bring in something
called the abundance prayer.
439
:I bring prayer into it.
440
:I bring gratitude into it, which are
all, these are all the themes I've read
441
:in, I probably read close to 50 minutes.
442
:money manifesting, money mindset books.
443
:And they nearly always have a chapter
on gratitude, chapter on decluttering.
444
:And, and we work collectively as a group.
445
:So the group energy is amazing.
446
:There is a day where we give, give
the giving day and I see all these
447
:amazing gifts fly around the world.
448
:There's people offering healing
sessions, people offering their
449
:paintings and during the course of the
week, people are to track the value
450
:as well of the gifts they receive.
451
:So.
452
:We've got some, there's a lot, all sorts
of other fun things that happen during the
453
:week of the Prosperity Party, but the idea
is really the group collective energy.
454
:And every year it blows me away of the
things that people manifest in the group.
455
:And some people continue to do
the practices long after the
456
:Prosperity Party is finished.
457
:I remember there was one guy, he was
actually an American, he was an actor.
458
:And he's at the end, I can't remember,
he, he, by the end of the week, he
459
:said, I've manifested 65, 000 this week.
460
:I was like, Oh my God, what happened?
461
:He said, well, first up, he was an actor.
462
:He got a part in a kind of
smallish part in Grey's Anatomy.
463
:He said, that's a 5, 000 part.
464
:I was like, amazing.
465
:And then he shared that there was some
sort of lawsuit or some legal thing
466
:that had been just been going on for
years, I'd say more than 10 years.
467
:And he found out that week.
468
:It was getting the resolution
and he's getting a I think a
469
:60, 000 payout for this thing.
470
:And it all happened during the week.
471
:So he's like Basically, thanks
to Prosperity Party, I've
472
:manifested 65, 000 this week.
473
:I've had another guy, I remember
there's one guy at the beginning of the
474
:week, he set the intention, I want to
manifest 10 million pounds this week.
475
:And I'm like, okay, that's fine.
476
:Who am I to tell you
that that's not possible?
477
:And then he messaged me privately to say
that during the Prosperity Party week,
478
:he received an idea because we also
receive inspiration, be open to that.
479
:The money doesn't kind of always come.
480
:And he got this idea.
481
:And he messaged me a few months
later, saying, Mel, during the
482
:prosperity party, I got this idea.
483
:Obviously I didn't say anything at
the time because it was just an idea.
484
:And it was to secure
funding for this project.
485
:And he said, just want to let you
know, we've just secured our first
486
:million pounds worth of funding.
487
:And it was this idea that came
during the prosperity parties.
488
:Another lady in the prosperity party, she
was, she was, doing the tapping and she
489
:basically was going through her emails and
found no no going through some paperwork
490
:and found some papers that she oh my gosh
i've forgotten about that connected with
491
:this client then she signed up a 2 000
pound client that week and another lady
492
:she found an old bank account from way
before she got married in her maiden name
493
:in her marriage in her birth name and that
account had:
494
:like I just even I forgot that existed.
495
:We've had tax rebates, we've had
refunds, we've had all sorts of things.
496
:But, and, and I don't know
if I've ever shared my big
497
:manifesting money story with you.
498
:Well, please do.
499
:So this is kind of like, this
is when I knew that money can
500
:be manifested out of the blue.
501
:And this was kind of, it was kind of even
before tapping became involved in my life.
502
:So I just had my daughter, And I
had to go back to my corporate job,
503
:which I really didn't want to do.
504
:So I was brainstorming all the
ways in which I could leave my job.
505
:And so I trained to do the
reflexology course at the time.
506
:And it was during that course, I
learned about the law of attraction.
507
:I read The Secret.
508
:So now we are talking about
15, yeah, 16 years ago now.
509
:So, I was like, right, okay, I am going
to manifest, I'm going to manifest 20, 000
510
:because I just thought, I want 20, 000.
511
:That's how much money I would feel
would give me the financial security
512
:to, leave my job and start my business.
513
:I didn't really feel like I could.
514
:So the next thing that happened was
I got made redundant from my job.
515
:My boss took me aside, really sorry.
516
:And I was like, thank you so much.
517
:And I got quite a big redundancy check.
518
:But so while I was still
working, I used to work.
519
:Near the studios where Who Wants
To Be A Millionaire was filmed.
520
:And on my journey to work, I would drive
past the studios and I would visualize
521
:being on the show, being sat on the
chair in front of the show host at the
522
:time, this guy called Chris Tarrant.
523
:And I could see myself on the show.
524
:I visualized it.
525
:I'm really into visualization.
526
:I could even feel the What it would
be like to be in the studio, the
527
:nervousness of being in the hot seat.
528
:And I thought, okay, right.
529
:One day I was at my desk.
530
:I thought, what do I need?
531
:All right, I'm going to
apply to be on the show.
532
:So I found online application
and I applied to be in the show.
533
:Anyway, I then got made redundant.
534
:So I'm just trying to get this
timeline of events correct.
535
:But I got made redundant and I
think it was about a month later
536
:I got called to an audition for
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
537
:So I went for my interview and they said,
Oh, why do you want to be on the show?
538
:What would you do with a million pounds?
539
:And I said, easy.
540
:I said, I've just been
made redundant from my job.
541
:I said, I just want to stay
at home with my babies.
542
:I don't want to go back to
the corporate world just yet.
543
:I said, but I want to start
my own business as well.
544
:I've got a business.
545
:I just want to really
get my business going.
546
:And when they frame me up, they say I got
called to be a contestant on the show.
547
:Anyway, long story short, I got on the hot
seat and I won 20, 000 pounds, which was
548
:the amount that I had been manifesting.
549
:I literally, I thought I
just won 20, 000 pounds.
550
:And honestly, when I got presented
a check on the show, Oh, actually
551
:I've got the picture here.
552
:There we go.
553
:That's when I won the check.
554
:Holly Ostara: Oh, beautiful.
555
:I love that.
556
:Melanie Moore: Honestly, you can't see
my picture, but all that hairs on my
557
:arm were stood on end because I didn't
tell him, I didn't tell my husband
558
:at the time, I didn't tell anyone.
559
:I manifested that exact
amount of money I wanted.
560
:And of course, at the time,
why didn't you manifest more?
561
:I didn't even know it's going
to come from a game show.
562
:I was like, you know, I'm open
to this money come from anywhere.
563
:And I think the universe, the path of
least resistance for me was the game show.
564
:And it worked.
565
:It did work.
566
:It did work.
567
:And that was just the conscious beginning.
568
:I would be here all night if
I started to tell you all the
569
:cool things I've manifested.
570
:Holly Ostara: I have a cool story too.
571
:So, I did your prosperity party last May.
572
:And a few months prior to that,
in January, I got laid off.
573
:Made redundant from my job.
574
:And I was, Not expecting it, but
I'll tell you, so that happened,
575
:I think, January 18th or so for my
birthday, which is the end of December.
576
:A friend had sent me this thing called
a wish bracelet and it has, it's just a
577
:beaded bracelet, but it has this kind of
container and that you can roll up a piece
578
:of paper and stick inside and you write
a wish on the piece of paper, you stick
579
:it inside and you wear it and then you do
some gratitude journaling and stuff for,
580
:you're supposed to do it for 21 days.
581
:So on my birthday, December 31st, I
wrote, I'm going to leave my job by
582
:May and go full time in my business.
583
:And I was saying that every
day, every day, every day.
584
:And then January 18th, 19 days
later, I was like, laid off
585
:and at the time I was reeling.
586
:I was like, I said, may I'm
not ready for it at all.
587
:I have not ready for you.
588
:The universe was ready.
589
:The universe made me ready.
590
:And I also got a good severance
package and and that gave me.
591
:The buffer that I needed to go from having
a side hustle to a full time business.
592
:And it was really scary.
593
:And, and it was, I, we were
talking earlier about the
594
:challenge of the universe.
595
:Life is challenging and the
universe sends you challenges.
596
:I think sometimes to
say, Hey, are you awake?
597
:Pay attention.
598
:And, and it pushed me
out of my comfort zone.
599
:And even though I was saying,
I want to leave my job by May,
600
:I don't think I ever would have
done it if I hadn't been laid off.
601
:I think I still would have waited.
602
:Melanie Moore: Exactly.
603
:Holly Ostara: Because
it's too comfortable.
604
:Melanie Moore: And I don't think.
605
:Well, I don't know.
606
:If I'd won the money first,
would I have then left my job?
607
:I think because I thought, oh, I've
got this money now, but now I think
608
:sometimes you basically, if you're
hesitant or scared to jump, the universe
609
:will just give you a little nudge.
610
:Holly Ostara: Yeah.
611
:So make sure you're ready to be nudged.
612
:And if you're not, you're
going to get rid of it.
613
:Melanie Moore: Yeah.
614
:The net does appear.
615
:Holly Ostara: And the net appears.
616
:I love that.
617
:That's right.
618
:And last year was, it was a scary year
because I was growing that business
619
:and I was, you know, had clients before
for years cause I went into business
620
:originally in 2014, but it, it was never,
it never had to be my full time income.
621
:And so it was scary, but every
time I thought this is going to
622
:get really bad, you know, Something
would come in every single time.
623
:And I used to even say to my husband,
like, every time I think that we're
624
:going to be broke, we get a random
check for 10, 000 every single time.
625
:And, and so then it became more of a game
of, well, how do I not wait until I'm
626
:almost broke to get this 10, 000 checks?
627
:And so the prosperity party
actually helped me a lot.
628
:I got a 433 dollars.
629
:During the party.
630
:So close.
631
:Yeah.
632
:Melanie Moore: Very close.
633
:Holly Ostara: And I was
really excited in five days.
634
:Yeah.
635
:And you know what else is because I'm
in the U S and you're in UK, I wasn't
636
:able to make all the live calls.
637
:And so I, I still got the 433 dollars so.
638
:It was really fun.
639
:I'm definitely going to
do it again this year.
640
:Melanie Moore: Oh, lovely.
641
:And yeah, and I've heard of people
who did the prosperity, but five days.
642
:And then I remember another lady on day
six, her husband had been laid off several
643
:months before something had happened.
644
:I can't exactly tell us of his job
situation, but then on day six.
645
:They'd got this call, this
email, this letter to say he
646
:was getting all his back pay.
647
:He, all his money that he was owed,
I think it was several in the tens of
648
:thousands of, this is Australian dollars.
649
:And it was just like such a relief.
650
:But some people are going to be
like, well, we tried it five days.
651
:It's like the other guy with the idea.
652
:He got the seed for the idea during
the party because you're open.
653
:And some seeds take longer to
germinate and bear fruit than others.
654
:So sometimes you've got
to be a bit more patient.
655
:And an idea from the thought
to it becoming a thing.
656
:Can take time at times or
sometimes it can be really quick.
657
:We've got to be both.
658
:Holly Ostara: Yeah, it can be really quick
The way I like to think about it is that
659
:anything is available to do anything is
possible But when you when you put your
660
:intention out there and you say this is
what I want Then the universe has got
661
:to start rearranging some things And
none of those not all of those things
662
:involve you like it might have to check
in with some your neighbor So that their
663
:neighbor will say here Have a, you know,
have my free lawn, but I don't know, I
664
:don't know where I'm coming from with
this example, but we have to set things
665
:in motion and involves other people a
lot of times, so a lot of other people,
666
:they have to line up to get it to happen.
667
:Melanie Moore: Yeah, you, um, it's
like in the Alchemist, the Paolo Coelho
668
:the universe is conspiring on your
behalf, but sometimes they're like, I
669
:just need that person to be here, that
person, you need to be there to pick
670
:up that phone call at the right time.
671
:I feel like, actually, if we
just let go a bit more and
672
:let the universe do its thing.
673
:It's amazing how things do just
work out, and it's our overthinking,
674
:our anxiety, our stress, that
just gets in the way of it all.
675
:Holly Ostara: Mm hmm, exactly, exactly.
676
:And I know we have to talk about
books, because That's what I do.
677
:And I know that you're working on a
book right now, and we talked about
678
:it a little bit before we started
recording, and I am so excited for this.
679
:So can you tell us about the
book that you're working on?
680
:Melanie Moore: Well, we've
actually just talked about it.
681
:Because I've been doing this
Prosperity Party for nearly nine
682
:years now, and actually I've got two
books that I'm kind of working on.
683
:One is probably, , Bigger, kind of
more, I'd say my legacy book, but I
684
:think all books are a legacy anyways.
685
:So the other book, I feel it's more
kind of my, my, my Bible tapping
686
:into a big vision, which is just
about tapping and vision boards.
687
:And it's going to link a lot to, I think
the things we go through, the ups and
688
:downs of life, journey, heartbreak,
grief, loss, manifesting money.
689
:It's like the journey of life really.
690
:And I think it's the way I see it's
going to be this Bible that we have.
691
:access to, but the book I'm
going to be working on first
692
:is the Prosperity Party book.
693
:It's five days.
694
:And when I think about the title,
I thought, oh my gosh, it sounds
695
:a bit like too good to be true,
but this is actually what it is.
696
:I think it's going to be called
the Five Day Prosperity Party.
697
:, , five days to manifesting money
fast or something like that.
698
:Because that's really what it is.
699
:And, and the idea is it's not
just like, right, I'm going to
700
:manifest winning the lottery.
701
:It's learning the tools.
702
:On how we literally create money in our
lives is that it's not a finite source.
703
:It's not this thing that we only have.
704
:I think most people think of
money as having, they only have
705
:one or maybe two channels of
income that's available to them.
706
:And to be honest, if you're an
employee, which I was for a long time.
707
:Yeah, my belief system was
that at the end of each month,
708
:I'm going to get a paycheck.
709
:That is where all my money comes from.
710
:But I'm now, gosh, when's it?
711
:2009.
712
:Yeah, I'm 15 years into
being a business owner now.
713
:That was when I last took my corporate,
I took my last corporate paycheck.
714
:But I know that money is available
from many different channels.
715
:There's so many channels.
716
:of abundance available to us.
717
:And it's literally tapping into
that physically and emotionally
718
:and mentally tapping into that.
719
:And, and I think it's just helping
people to understand that I
720
:didn't know that 15 years ago.
721
:And it's to help people to really
realize that there are many
722
:channels of abundance available.
723
:Sometimes they are very
surprising out of the blue, where
724
:the hell did that come from?
725
:But other times it's like side hustles.
726
:It's You know, even my kids,
I've been teaching my kids this
727
:for a good couple of years.
728
:I'm not their only source.
729
:You know, we have teenagers like,
Mom can have this, Mom can have that.
730
:And, and I wanted them to know
that actually, I am not your
731
:only channel of abundance.
732
:So they have jobs.
733
:They have to earn a living as well.
734
:And of course I help them out, but I want
them to be aware that there's Lots of,
735
:and even today my daughter came home,
and she, there was a raffle at school,
736
:it's World Book Day, and they had this
like kind of Willy Wonka thing, and what
737
:did she have to, I think it was like
two pounds for a chocolate bar, but in,
738
:out of about 200 chocolate bars, there
were 30 golden tickets with like extra
739
:prizes in, and she said, I sat there,
and I told myself, I'm gonna win a prize.
740
:And she said, I just said, I'll wave my
hands over and she picked up a chocolate
741
:bar and had a 15 gift voucher in it
and she said, I knew I was going to win
742
:it and I said, I've taught you well.
743
:Holly Ostara: I love that.
744
:I love that.
745
:That's so amazing.
746
:It's like teaching yourself to be lucky
and teaching your kids to be lucky.
747
:That's an important thing.
748
:Melanie Moore: That's the thing with luck.
749
:I've won so many competitions in my life.
750
:Life and I, even things like,
silly things like raffles.
751
:I tell myself, you know, I'm a lucky,
and there was very recently I won a
752
:raffle at a friend's charity event.
753
:And I remember my friend next to
me, she said, I never win anything.
754
:And I said to her, do you know why?
755
:I said, it's because you keep telling
yourself I never win anything.
756
:I said.
757
:I tell myself all the time, I'm a really
lucky person and I always win prizes.
758
:And I'm so pleased.
759
:My daughter just told me that she's like,
mom, you're going to love this story.
760
:Holly Ostara: That's amazing.
761
:That's amazing.
762
:It sounds like she's
going to do very well.
763
:And she's going to be
really lucky her whole life.
764
:Yeah.
765
:Cause she's got that skill.
766
:Melanie Moore: I know so.
767
:Holly Ostara: Well, this has been really,
really exciting, Melanie, where can
768
:everybody find you online if they want
to learn more about tapping or working
769
:with you or doing the Prosperity Party?
770
:Melanie Moore: Well, my YouTube
channel is probably where you can
771
:find a whole ton of tapping resources.
772
:There's tapping videos for healing,
tapping videos for manifesting.
773
:I do a monthly tapping themed video.
774
:My Instagram is where you can reach
out, drop me a DM, and the Prosperity
775
:Party will be taking place in May I
don't know the exact dates yet But if
776
:you just keep an eye on my socials i'll
be talking about lots nearer the time
777
:Holly Ostara: Awesome, that's amazing.
778
:And i'll also put links to your stuff
in the show notes too for everybody
779
:Melanie Moore: Thank
780
:Holly Ostara: you Holly.
781
:Thank you.
782
:I'm so glad we got to chat today And and
as we close out is there one tip you would
783
:like to leave for all of our listeners?
784
:Melanie Moore: I would say
just pay attention to your
785
:thoughts and your feelings.
786
:I tell my clients all the time,
just mentally, just check in
787
:with yourself a couple of times
a day, two or three times a day.
788
:Just notice how you're feeling.
789
:I like to talk about the
emotional guidance scale.
790
:So down here, we've got fear,
anger, stress, worry, overwhelm.
791
:And then at the top, we've got love,
joy, Excitement, and then somewhere in
792
:the middle we've got calm and content.
793
:If you're anything below calm and
content, just pay attention to the
794
:thoughts that are going in your head
because you're, you're probably thinking
795
:about something that you don't want
to happen or a negative outcome or
796
:being late or some kind of worry.
797
:It could be about money,
it could be, whatever.
798
:So I would just encourage you
in that moment, just think about
799
:what it is you do want instead.
800
:So if you're worried about being late,
just imagine being on time, focus on what
801
:it is you want instead, focus on what
you want and not what you don't want.
802
:And I think that is the
quickest path to shifting.
803
:everything.
804
:And so that can be done with a
thought alone, but tapping can
805
:accelerate that even quicker.
806
:Holly Ostara: That's amazing.
807
:And good life advice in general, I think.
808
:Melanie Moore: Yes, but we forget it.
809
:I forget it sometimes.
810
:Holly Ostara: We forget it.
811
:Yeah.
812
:Well, this has been amazing.
813
:Thank you so much, Melanie.
814
:Melanie Moore: My pleasure, Holly.
815
:Holly Ostara: Thank you
so much for listening.
816
:Don't forget to subscribe to the
podcast, and if you're feeling like
817
:it's a good day for good karma, please
take a moment to leave a quick review.
818
:It tells the robots that my existence
matters, and according to all
819
:the personality typing systems,
external validation sustains me.
820
:So have the best day, and write that book.
