Transcripts
Our souls are incredibly playful.
Speaker:That is like their language,
that's how they speak.
Speaker:And so when we can drop into a play state,
Speaker:we then can speak to and really
speak in the language of our souls.
Speaker:Hello and welcome back to
Remember Why You're Here,
Speaker:a podcast for seekers and sensitives
where you can relax, receive,
Speaker:reconnect yourself,
Speaker:and remember the most important
thing of all why you're here.
Speaker:I'm Asia Suler, author,
teacher Earth Intuitive,
Speaker:and this is your reading for July, 2025.
Speaker:I was really excited when this
card came out of this deck.
Speaker:The themes for this month revolve
around healing through play,
Speaker:letting go of heavy
burdens and returning to
Speaker:your true self. So without further ado,
Speaker:let's jump into the reading
for the month ahead.
Speaker:So the card I pull this month came from
the Four Noble Tarot deck by Francis
Speaker:Naudé,
Speaker:and this has become one of my
favorite decks to work with.
Speaker:I love that it all comes
in one compact package.
Speaker:It's really helpful for travel. It's
like my favorite deck to travel with now,
Speaker:and the descriptions are always sort of
Speaker:perfectly attuned to both
Speaker:positivity as well as growth.
And I really appreciate that.
Speaker:I really feel my own connection to my
own spirit when I work with this deck.
Speaker:So I was excited to work
with this deck for July.
Speaker:As many of us are traveling or are on
route, it felt like perfect timing.
Speaker:So the card that I picked from
this deck was the six of cups.
Speaker:And in this deck with these gilt images,
Speaker:these sort of simple
line drawn gilt images,
Speaker:it's two rabbits playing with each other
with these cups filled with flowers.
Speaker:I love the six of cups card in tarot.
Speaker:It's not one that I actually get
that often. I wish I got it more,
Speaker:but in traditional tarot it is a lot about
Speaker:childlike innocence and
play like a return to the
Speaker:inner child.
Sometimes nostalgia around childhood.
Speaker:There's an element of finding happiness
and joy in the mundane in the way that
Speaker:children do.
Speaker:Sort of this return to one's pure self,
Speaker:one's essential self,
Speaker:and really being able to have compassion
Speaker:for yourself and especially your past,
Speaker:especially if you're looking
backwards in any way.
Speaker:So it's a really healing card to
get. And there's also a levity to it.
Speaker:I love what Francis Naudé wrote,
Speaker:so I'm just going to read a
short bit of that description.
Speaker:"The inner child within you is ready to
be seen, healed, nurtured, and loved.
Speaker:Your spiritual team is holding your
hand as you face the places that you may
Speaker:have pushed aside over the years.
Speaker:Trust that you have the strength to
heal and leave the pain in the past.
Speaker:The universe is inviting you to be
kinder to yourself at this time.
Speaker:Speak to yourself as you would a child
and give yourself the grace, forgiveness,
Speaker:playfulness and compassion that you
deserve." So when I sat with this
Speaker:card and was asking what was
coming through me for this
Speaker:collective here that I'm a part of,
Speaker:the theme that came up super strongly
with this card and why I think it arrived
Speaker:is this theme of healing through play.
Speaker:This theme of opening
up new levels of freedom
Speaker:through inviting play
into your life this month.
Speaker:Play is a distinctly healing force.
Speaker:We have the ability to
dissolve major obstacles and
Speaker:blocks in our life through play.
Speaker:And I think there's often this mindset,
Speaker:especially in the spiritual world where
we think we have to effort and work
Speaker:really hard and sometimes we do.
Speaker:But I think there's this other
side and this other side is this
Speaker:side of play, this side that when
we step into the flow state of play,
Speaker:things just naturally
start to fall into place.
Speaker:Things naturally start to fall
away or to take form in your life.
Speaker:Play is an essential human skill.
Speaker:It is a really important aspect of
Speaker:our makeup as creatures, as humans.
Speaker:So what is play? Play is doing something
just because it's doing something,
Speaker:just because it brings you
happiness or pleasure or joy.
Speaker:Play is not results focused. And in fact,
Speaker:if you're focused on the result
at all of what you're doing,
Speaker:then it's not necessarily
play. So play in this way,
Speaker:it has no result. You do it just
because it brings you alive,
Speaker:period, end of story.
Speaker:So there's this quote by
play coach Jeff Harry,
Speaker:and the quote is "One way to think about
play is an action you do that brings
Speaker:you a significant amount of joy without
offering a specific result." And that
Speaker:just captures it all.
Speaker:If in your play you are trying to
cross something off your to-do list
Speaker:or be productive in any way,
Speaker:then it's simply not play. Play is
engaging with presence and curiosity and
Speaker:joy in whatever it is that's at hand.
Speaker:And I think a lot of us as
adults in this world need to
Speaker:reclaim this energy of play,
Speaker:these play pathways in our
brain and in our spirit.
Speaker:And this can be a process sometimes,
Speaker:but it starts with just being willing
to be playful with being willing to
Speaker:invite play as a healing
force into your life.
Speaker:We are designed to learn
Speaker:faster, easier, and more
effectively through play.
Speaker:And we see this with children.
Children play for all kinds of reasons.
Speaker:There's some quote that says something
along the lines of "for children,
Speaker:play is work ." For children this
is their serious work in life and
Speaker:so much is accomplished through play.
Speaker:They develop skills of
resiliency. They process trauma,
Speaker:they process their emotions
and develop coping skills.
Speaker:All of this happens through play. And
this is why child development experts know
Speaker:that it's essential that your
child has time to play because so
Speaker:much is actually happening
through that play. Well,
Speaker:we consider play to be
important for children,
Speaker:but we don't realize that it's
just as important for us as adults.
Speaker:It does not stop being
important for us in this life.
Speaker:And so as we walk into this month,
Speaker:the invitation is really to
invite play into your life,
Speaker:to connect to the possibility that healing
Speaker:might not happen because
you're going to strong arm it,
Speaker:but happen because you're willing to play.
Speaker:You're willing to let your
spirit step into this playful
Speaker:way of being with the world.
Speaker:You're willing to open back
up your relationship with
Speaker:play and to see what happens.
Speaker:And research does show that
play for adults is essential for
Speaker:our ability to think creatively,
Speaker:for our general wellbeing
and for our ability to access
Speaker:flow states.
Flow states are exactly as they sound.
Speaker:Flow states are when you
are in your own flow,
Speaker:it's almost this effortless
movement through life.
Speaker:If you are an athlete and you've
gotten to that point where you're no
Speaker:longer thinking about the run or no
longer thinking about what you're doing,
Speaker:you're just in the flow and it's
almost like it's moving through you.
Speaker:That's a flow state.
Speaker:Or if you're an artist and you're no
longer concentrated on what technique or
Speaker:what materials, you're just in
the movement, that's a flow state.
Speaker:And flow states, they're
like the magic sauce of life.
Speaker:They're what we are
always looking to be in.
Speaker:And I think it's because
we remember on a spiritual
Speaker:level that this is actually
how we're meant to be in life.
Speaker:That we are meant to be in a flow state,
Speaker:that in our essential state
as spirits on a very human
Speaker:journey,
Speaker:that we are meant to be
in this state of just
Speaker:flow within life instead of
always trying to effort. And I
Speaker:think that getting into
the space of efforting,
Speaker:it's just part of the human experience.
Speaker:It is part of what we come
here and sign up to experience.
Speaker:But at our essence on a soul level,
Speaker:we know that all is flow
and that all is flowing.
Speaker:And so how do we access more of this
flow sat in our life where things feel a
Speaker:little bit more effortless, more graceful,
Speaker:more like the path is just already defined
in front of you and all you need to
Speaker:do is just relax into the water and
let yourself be held as you flow,
Speaker:as you flow downstream. Well,
we do that through play.
Speaker:That is how we access that
state. And for this month ahead,
Speaker:the message that came through so
strongly for me was that there is this
Speaker:really big distinct
possibility of healing,
Speaker:of reaching the next level of healing,
Speaker:especially of things that might have your
origin in the past that are connected
Speaker:to childhood or earlier periods in your
life or the developmental years of your
Speaker:life, that there's something
here that can be shifted,
Speaker:moved, healed,
Speaker:dissolved.
When we allow ourselves to play.
Speaker:That play aspect,
Speaker:this month actually has this potential
to move some pretty significant things in
Speaker:your life if you just
allow yourself to go there.
Speaker:And my guides specifically
wanted me to say that if you are
Speaker:feeling frustrated or angry or
Speaker:upset or depressed about something
you've been working on and
Speaker:feeling like you've got gotten stuck at
a certain level or you're not where you
Speaker:want to be, then this is the antidote.
Speaker:And that came through really strongly.
Speaker:This is the antidote
this month and it's this
Speaker:bizarre paradoxical thing where sometimes
Speaker:something cannot heal or change or move
to the place we wanted to move because
Speaker:we're holding on too tightly
and it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker:But this is just part of the earth
experience. We have to let go.
Speaker:We have to almost give ourselves a break
from caring so much about moving the
Speaker:needle on this thing. And when we
give ourselves that break and we let
Speaker:ourselves play, it's like it just
effortlessly happens in the background.
Speaker:And this is what actually occurs
for our children when they play.
Speaker:And so the invitation for you this
month is to let that happen for you too.
Speaker:To let go of something
that you've been really
Speaker:efforting within and give yourself
permission for this month to play and
Speaker:see what shifts. Everybody
plays in different ways.
Speaker:And I think this is super fascinating
that we all have different ways that we
Speaker:like to play.
Speaker:And I see this really clearly with
my daughter and I see her with
Speaker:certain friends and sometimes some of
her friends, they're really simpatico.
Speaker:They really like playing in the
same way. And other of her friends,
Speaker:it's like they do not like
playing in the same way at all.
Speaker:One of her friends wants to figure out
the of how the light switches work. And
Speaker:she's over here just wanting to
pretend that she's a kangaroo.
Speaker:And so I think that this is important
to remember for ourselves as
Speaker:adults as well, is that we also
have different play pathways.
Speaker:We also have different things that
make us feel excited and joyful
Speaker:and jovial.
Speaker:And so part of our task
in this lifetime is to
Speaker:reconnect to the things that we love,
Speaker:the things that are joyful for
us, the way that we like to play.
Speaker:So one way you can do this is to
really think back and ask yourself,
Speaker:what did you love to do as a child?
Speaker:What did you spend hours
and hours just doing,
Speaker:getting lost in that you lost track
of time, you just adored it so much.
Speaker:These breadcrumbs from childhood
will often show us the way to
Speaker:move forward now.
Speaker:If you can't think of anything there or
you don't have a whole lot of memories
Speaker:from your childhood,
Speaker:think about today.
When's the last time you remember
Speaker:getting into a state where you
completely lost track of time,
Speaker:where you were just enjoying
what you were doing.
Speaker:You weren't thinking about how long it
was going to take or what was going to
Speaker:happen afterwards or what
the result was going to be.
Speaker:You were just simply enjoying
yourself and enjoying life.
Speaker:That is such an indicator
of how you like to play,
Speaker:what kind of play works for you.
Speaker:We are looking for this
sense of timeless joy,
Speaker:of buzzing contentment with life,
Speaker:of slipping into these flow
states where time seems to
Speaker:disappear and you just have an
excitement about being alive. Oh,
Speaker:that's the good stuff, isn't it?
Speaker:That is just such the good stuff
and play is how we get there.
Speaker:So make a list. Really
write down the things that
Speaker:you know help you to play or help you
to step into this play state. And if
Speaker:you're really not sure, use this month
experiment. Try on different things.
Speaker:See, what do I like to do?
What does bring me joy?
Speaker:This is such valuable information
to have about yourself.
Speaker:It's almost this thing where I feel
like when you know how to play,
Speaker:how you like to play, it's like
having a cheat code for life.
Speaker:It really is.
Speaker:It's like you have this
cheat code for how to access
Speaker:possibility and healing
in a way that is joyful.
Speaker:Being able to heal through
levity, through play,
Speaker:through expansion and joy is
such a powerful skill to have in
Speaker:life.
Speaker:And there's an opportunity this month
for you to really develop that skill in a
Speaker:way that will see you
through the years ahead.
Speaker:So if any of this is feeling overwhelming
or you're struggling with this at
Speaker:all, one thing you could
do is ask yourself,
Speaker:what does my inner child need
to feel safe enough to play?
Speaker:Because sometimes if we
have a block to play,
Speaker:if we have a block to taking time to
play or we feel like it's silly or
Speaker:unproductive or we just
don't know where to begin,
Speaker:it can be really helpful to start with
that inner child and just ask them,
Speaker:what do you need to feel safe enough
to play? Take some quiet time,
Speaker:tune into that and they will tell you.
Speaker:They will tell you what are the things
that they need to actually feel safe
Speaker:enough to let go of what they are holding
or feeling like they need to manage
Speaker:and drop into play
state. And the thing is,
Speaker:it doesn't take that much convincing
because that's how children
Speaker:are. They know that all the healing and
the good stuff happens through play.
Speaker:So sometimes they just need to know that
they're safe enough to go there. So to
Speaker:really ask yourself this month, what
are the ways that I like to play?
Speaker:What are the ways that I can invite
people in my life to play with me?
Speaker:How do I want to play with the
other people in my life right now?
Speaker:And in what ways does my spirit see all of
Speaker:life as a playful possibility?
Speaker:In what ways does my soul
see my life as just one big
Speaker:arena to play with my
lifetime as just one big
Speaker:beautiful playtime here
on this planet to explore
Speaker:different ideas and experiences
and ways of growing?
Speaker:I really think on the spiritual level,
Speaker:our souls are incredibly playful.
Speaker:That is their language,
that's how they speak.
Speaker:And so when we can drop into a play state,
Speaker:we then can speak to and really
speak in the language of our souls.
Speaker:And it's amazing the kind of
movement, creativity, healing,
Speaker:and connection that can happen
just by being willing to play.
Speaker:So let the animal of your body
guide you this month. Let your body,
Speaker:your senses, your sensuality,
your experience of life guide you,
Speaker:tell you what is
delightful and what is not.
Speaker:What brings you alive and what is
like meh, someone else's way of play.
Speaker:Let it be possible to have
lightness be the thing
Speaker:that is healing for you this
month. Let it be an experiment.
Speaker:Don't let play be another thing
on your to-do list this month.
Speaker:Let this month be about
curiosity and joy and
Speaker:experience and trying it out. I see
this all the time with my daughter.
Speaker:She'll try a new way of playing,
decide it's not for her.
Speaker:Try a new way of playing
and realize she likes it,
Speaker:but wants to tweak it a certain
way. Let that be the same for you.
Speaker:This is not a task on the to-do list.
This is an opening.
Speaker:This is a grand vista.
Speaker:This is like a field full
of wildflowers and you
Speaker:have the distinct possibility
to just walk into it for a long
Speaker:stretch of an afternoon and simply play.
Speaker:Because the lightness that
you'll cultivate through
inviting play into your life
Speaker:will ripple out into every
other aspect of your life.
Speaker:It will ripple out into places
of heaviness or stuckness or
Speaker:frustration.
Speaker:It will ripple out into the corners of
your existence and it will heal things
Speaker:so much faster and with
so much more levity and
Speaker:joy than you could have accessed before.
Speaker:So if you are resonating
with this reading,
Speaker:I would love to hear about
it. Leave me a voice message.
Speaker:I have a voice messaging service on
my website at asia suler.com/remember.
Speaker:And I loved hearing last
month how many people
Speaker:really found that the intuitive
reading for the month was already
Speaker:clicking with what they had
intuitively downloaded for themselves.
Speaker:And this is the whole point of these
Speaker:is for it to be confirmation
or affirmation for you in
Speaker:what you have probably already
been receiving or working with or
Speaker:understanding.
Speaker:So here's a few of their messages
of just confirmation for what
Speaker:they had already been experiencing
walking into last month.
Speaker:I just listened to your June
reading and it was awesome.
Speaker:It was so on point for me. I mean,
Speaker:a lot of what you were talking
about was the light that's coming,
Speaker:and I feel that so strongly.
Speaker:And so I feel this aliveness coming.
I just listened to
Speaker:your intuitive reading
about the mighty sunflower,
Speaker:and guess what?
Speaker:An oracle card I recently
pulled was open to abundance
Speaker:and there are sunflowers in the
Illustration. So Thank you for that. Oh,
Speaker:it was such a powerful transmission
and I really feel that one in my soul.
Speaker:Thank you for sharing your
medicine and your gifts such a
Speaker:blessing.
Speaker:So let this be confirmation for you
that the things that you have been
Speaker:sensing are real, that you are
tapped in, you are intuitive,
Speaker:and that this reading this month is
really just here to remind you of the
Speaker:pathways that you are already
sensing opening before you.
Speaker:So I am excited for this month.
Speaker:I feel like a lot is going to happen
and a lot's going to happen while we're
Speaker:having fun, which is kind of
the best combination possible.
Speaker:So I'm excited to hear about
how it unfolds for you.
Speaker:May this month be one of healing
Speaker:through simply enjoying existence
through finding your unique
Speaker:pathways of being alive
in this world and of
Speaker:through this pathway of
play and joy and levity and
Speaker:possibility, you just naturally reconnect
to the most important thing of all
Speaker:why you're here.
