aisha makara

here and the Mongolian Empire was more about like a knowledge and collaboration.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

But there' also they had like inside things, you know, and that's a low beast, let's say at that time, they were making that as well, that's why it got like you know destroyed because of the, everyone has their own interests and after the they, in the end,

aisha makara

they just split, you know, the family split. I mean, what you can expect after 300 years of ruling, it's normal, it's not many generations generation, generation, generation, generation, so it's like, you see so many things and I believe like that time, ah therere um the prince and all like that the aristocracy or like the

Lost in the Groove Podcast

in Mongolia.

aisha makara

they were traveling as well way in Mongolia, they were traveling as well and they probably went in the different places and they um what they did, they didn't do the the way, for example, Catholic did, the Catholic Church, the way they influence, you know, the reality after thousands of years. I feel like the the reality was completely different than we're living now. And I feel like that time they believe on um Um, they believe like in the source of the God, the good and bad, you know, and, uh, and I feel like it's, I feel like it was not, you know, the, um, the right things because one got into like this. Okay. I have my way of thinking. You have your way of thinking. We got to figure it out. Uh, we want a piece, both of us. We don't want to like have a word. We want to have a piece, you know, let's be getting out how we can, you know, achieve that piece.

aisha makara

with conversation you know understanding our like a culture different and like our traditions and so they were like open to learn. Then Catholic for example they the opposite the royal empire from my perspective that was like what I'm understanding with the history is like

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah. You're a deep thinker. I like this.

aisha makara

Yeah, and that that's they, for example, didn't completely from the fear, you know, they did, they were just destroying, they were not, if you're not like, following us, we destroy you, you know, that was from the beginning.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

And now I feel like that's a different, the way they approach.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Well, you know, it's it's really fascinating because just kind of talking particularly about that area in Asia, you know, you take countries like, for example, even Japan. OK, I love Japanese culture. I love, you know, the technologies that come out of Japan.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Japan is a really evil fucking country, okay? They have caused mass amounts of manslaughter unimaginable throughout the 20th century. And it's like, push all that shit aside, you know? It's like, who gives a fuck? Like, they make great cameras, they got great robotics, they make great food, they've got great technology. Like, who cares?

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Who cares? You know, and it's kind of like almost where we kind of like live today in this like precipice of a bubble where societies have changed from being extremely evil to being now like supposedly like normal and peaceful.

aisha makara

Look, none of them.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And like you said, you know, like almost like there's a sense of like Christianity, a sense of religion, a sense of connection.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

um Are we going to forget All the shit that happened like literally 90 years ago.

aisha makara

You know, from my perspective, what happened in the Second World War and like in the First World War, what after from my observation and learning about the history, America influenced a lot. For example, the idea of the dollar that they had, the idea of the dollar, the way they want to influence the dollar and the way they want to like make the dollar more powerful.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm.

aisha makara

Japan was one of the first countries who accepted that time. who started to work and collaborate with the United States and many different areas at that time, and they were open enough to like make that work in the best possible way. you know So like when you look at them what happened 19 years ago, or like after like when the First World War came, that's all the plan of making dollars strong.

aisha makara

you know, and all become very strong. And the hippie movement, for example, in the 60s, you know, like the way hippies influenced the world, struggle like at the rich hippies was traveling around the world and putting the seats like of the ah to the people about the freedom, about, you know, about all of that, that John Lennon.

aisha makara

ah was about the peace, you know, and like the way he like achieved his success and started to preaching the peace as well, like in his own way. I feel like some people understand the power of the words and the power of ah being a leader of the world, you know, like peaceful, like peacekeeper, and the same time understanding the consequences of it of being a peacekeeper. For example, from my perspective, what's happening for the last 100 years, the people who was, ah who was carrying the peace, but all that,

aisha makara

they've been killed you know and there they they um some other group of people like who was influenced by that and who can continue to bring you know this idea of the peace to the population that we've continued to develop or like the idea of the free double liberation i feel like It's all connected to this free love idea. What is love? You know, love is like everything. Love has all colors, you know, like me protecting my family and doing best for my family. It doesn't necessarily be good, something for your family, you know, and just like my wealth, you know, what, what I have, you know, because of the history, you know, and the heritage and I feeling like.

aisha makara

ah It still continues in that way and I'm feeling like we slowly started to understand the power of the community, the power of the global community that we're getting more and more connected because of the internet, the idea of the internet and the way the idea of the internet developed itself.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

i I, you know, it's so true to your point. I remember just kind of going towards with your own culture. I remember a few years ago, ah there was a YouTuber out of Mongolia, like very far up in the mountains, very, very rural community. I don't know how they had Internet. I don't know how they were posting videos. All I know is that they were they were posting and they were doing Mongolian ah traditional ah throat singing.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

with like you know traditional folk um like ah stories, you know things of that. And I'm like, me sitting here in the United States, and I'm just like, what am I watching? This is amazing. And then like my brain is like, oh my God, I'm watching something that's literally over 5,000 miles away from me. Completely different time zone, completely different climate, completely different place. like It's not even Mongolia. like the You can go right now and check up about like like the Swahili tribes or people that are in Senegal and Kenya and Zimbabwe.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Like live like right now.

aisha makara

We'll stick it under that door.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

This is bananas. We're able to connect to cultures and societies. We've never had access like this to before. Never.

aisha makara

Exactly. and The knowledge that we can actually collect from that and actually like understanding what matters for us like an act and have a voice to express and understanding that the time that we're living in and the influence that we can actually bring to the world, that the you know the influence like

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's insane.

aisha makara

I believe it's something positive. you know I look like, okay, everyone has their own influence. Look at like Donald Trump, the way he influenced, you know the way the insanity of the United States is, a level of insanity. You know what I mean?

aisha makara

like

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah

aisha makara

When you look at the perspective of creation and look at the perspective of being creator and have a power to create whatever you want in the scale that you want, like I feel it's um it's incredible in one way and to understand as a creator that no nothing it matters actually when you're there or on top.

aisha makara

You know what I mean? And you do absolutely anything to make it happen with all your tools that you have. I feel like that's ah it's a ah great example of seeing how they um the media and the the influence of the of the human being, the arrogance and the the idea of like ah a great America or the idea of the dream, you know, that he's still kind of like ah ah caring, you know?

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

I feel He has some good side of it. like As a me, just looking at the human to human, he has the ideas and he wants to kind of like improve some things. I understand that. At the same time, I'm feeling like it's yeah it's not healthy for other countries, him being you know like ah in the way he is right now. For example, like many other countries would be influenced by this.

aisha makara

You know, and it's created way more, I call it like, um clarity. Who is who? For real.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah Yeah Yeah, you bring up a really good point and I hear your perspective The thing the thing about our country right now more than anything is what we've been struggling with is full-on control of the narrative, okay? We're, America, the thing about the United States that differs up from Europe is the United States is built on three fundamentals. Don't tell me what to do. Let me say what I wanna say. And my land is my land. That's what we fought for. Those are our three, like those are three fundamentals for the United States.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Lost in the Groove Podcast

are very intelligent individuals that not only can change a system, but may be able to change an entire generation. We may now see a completely different shift of what America is in the next 60 to 75 years because of those people in particular, not necessarily Trump, but the people that he's now putting in office.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

so Does that make sense?

aisha makara

Oh. but yes and what do you think like uh for example i feel like from my perspective like Elon Musk being in the White House it's so funny it's just so funny i'm like i'm laughing my ass every time i'm watching something i'm like seriously i'm like seriously this is what's happening right now this is how you want to like i kind of like navigate it towards oh my gosh i'm like

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It is. It's just with with the robot. Uh.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm.

aisha makara

That. I mean, it's different the reality that he he is right now doing his best to create in you know an American minds. And I think, again, everyone decide the way they want to take it.

aisha makara

you know It's not going to be one way. It's going to be many different ways. And everyone kind of take advantage of it and will kind of like develop this idea to the next level.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, yeah.

aisha makara

And this is like um the idea towards like ah towards that dream. you know And I'm feeling like He giving all these ideas for the reason.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

the people you know for the reason and he always understand his own reasons why he wants to do that and after he's just you know navigating the flow he's like okay these people like going towards this I like it you know and he will go with them you know for like a little bit until he says like I don't like you guys anymore you know I don't want to like he's like have this idea of himself that he's in charge of himself decided how long he want to go with who and

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah

Lost in the Groove Podcast

he He does what he wants.

aisha makara

For what? is like Exactly, all the time. And I'm feeling like it's not because he's just confident about himself, like he's confident about his powers that he has and the the knowledge about his powers, the way he can navigate. This is what, from my perspective, and the funny part of it, like the way he's acting towards that.

aisha makara

in very like funny, positive, joyful way, you know? No matter what's going on in his life and he's just doing all of that.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I wouldn't bring your kids, but a lot of people bring their kids to these cities. A lot of people. Oh my god. I'm telling you, one thing Americans are great at is bringing kids to the wrong places at the wrong times in Europe. Because like A, they refuse to like have a little understanding in the language, and they have like no understanding of European culture. They're just like,

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Nice building. Yeah, that's a sex club. That's not a nice building.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They don't have weed. that's That's a problem.

aisha makara

it

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They don't have weed. If they had weed, they'd all be stoners. I guarantee you, like, Britons would go from, hey, little love, to, hey, little love. You know, it just get all loopy and weird.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I don't know, that's my very...

aisha makara

who

aisha makara

I think so too actually you know if I would like choose between drinking or a joint I will choose a joint

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, I'm being serious though, like we're we're there's this idea, right? We were like been talking about communities. You know, you mentioned like even Germany and Norway and Finland and Sweden and even with um Great Britain. They all drink. They're all heavy drinkers, you know, and maybe it's, you know, people say like, oh, you know, it's a nasty habit. I don't know. I feel sometimes you can have habits that are not nasty.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They're actually benefiting you. You know, it's a habit that can get you into a routine, you know, get you into, but they just got booze and liquor and alcohol and it's like they're always drunk.

aisha makara

his eye for the zone.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, I mean, liver disease.

aisha makara

But this is what makes them happy. I don't know. It's just kind of like weird. But it is what it is. It just makes them happy. And you get to kind of like accept that.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know what's weird?

aisha makara

In the same time, like.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's not it's not a distinctive American, it's not a distinct European thing. It's like, you find this in America, you find this in Australia, you find this in Asia. Like, everywhere in the world, and like there's a places that people just love to drink.

aisha makara

Yeah. South Korea as well in Asia. I think Chinese. I don't know. like I know that South Korean

Lost in the Groove Podcast

me ah What's it called? Soju? the the rice, alcohol, I forgot, yeah.

aisha makara

the rice drink I don't remember either I know like sake from also rice one it's Korean I don't remember Wow

Lost in the Groove Podcast

So I think it's soju. I think it's so, honey, that stuff is so sweet. And it's like, almost 40%. You just keep drinking.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, it's like, you know, drinking like a can of Coca Cola, but it has like a lot of alcohol in there. And you just keep drinking like one after the other. But you don't feel the alcohol because it tastes great.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I can't understand now why they're drinkers.

aisha makara

think

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Sorry.

aisha makara

I don't know I'm like sometimes about the the idea like think about the idea of alcohol or like we I was just today was sharing this idea of the opium when that you know like in America when um all they started to develop the the the rich um the rich Europeans started to move to America. And you know like not just these prisoners from ah Europe moving to America, it also was like a rich who didn't like the way ah monarchy was or something like that. Some of them moved to America as well, but most of them moved to the coast of a west coast. And I feel like because that time

aisha makara

West Coast was completely different than we see the West Coast right now. And the same time had been influenced a lot by European like culture, things, the wineries, you know the term traditions. You can go to na like a Napa, for example. They still have some you know old European traditions there. So like from my perspective, when I was thinking about all of flow history, how the history developed and the way we're living right now, why we're living the way we're living right now,

aisha makara

For example, opium. Opium was very um important that time, 300, 400 years ago. And the way everything developed around the opium you know right now, nowadays, I'm just feeling like people love it. like Some group of people really enjoy it. It's opened up their creativity. you know and like different dimensions that they were exploring that time, different knowledge, you know, scientists, many scientists, for example, when you about Ramdas, you know, but Ramdas, for example, he's writing in his book that he was, um he loves to take asset.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

He was a LSD lover, because he was loved to take LSD for like a years as a professor, because he loves to have the like a, the the openness towards the experience that he has and the knowledge and the way he want to develop the reality in his time. And I'm feeling like when he wanted to have more purity, understanding like about the purity, about the history. So he went to India to look for that purity, you know, and that's why he was living in India for five or seven years. and And, you know, being just like a monk or like a, um,

aisha makara

ah just waiting for the right opportunities that arrive, you know, or just being there meditating. And I feel like everyone experiencing ah some moments in our life, this enlightenment or the feeling of what we can create on the planet Earth while we're here with the tools that we have.

aisha makara

And I feel like he did create a community. you know He moved to Hawaii. He was doing a lot of like amazing things for the community and like many people like about his books and you know that the way the philosophy and the what he brought from India and from his understanding of community.

aisha makara

And I'm feeling like the community right now, the way we're developing community, a global community right now, based on ideas, you know, the food, ah like um the nutrition, the how the food, how we can make it the purity of or organic, um like a food agriculture that we're doing right now.

aisha makara

Here in Portugal, it's like so many communities, international communities.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah

aisha makara

You know, and America is very good at this. Like a hippie's community is a very amazing, for example, in California and um Florida.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

It's like just a great, happy, healthy community.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, they're there.

aisha makara

That's from my experience.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, they're definitely um for even for myself. I mean, I i live down here in Florida. And it's one of those things where you kind of have to, you know, there's always going to be like pros and cons with things. You're always going to have a bit of madness with success. You know, you can't like this idea of living in a utopia in this picture perfect reality is not real. It will never be real.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And for the simple fact, you need the chaos in order to get better. The the chaos makes the better better. Better? Dang.

aisha makara

i feel um Well, I have a little bit different ah like a viewpoint of it because for example I meet people in my life who is in their 40s who is like have these dream pictures of you know that they had they like just managing imagining that picture and they create that picture in the real like in the real life and they just enjoying that picture like every day so maybe it's gonna be like a dream house or and like their dream a restaurant or dream bar whatever they created and where they wanted to put it and and somewhere in the world and I'm feeling like I was start i was interviewing them and they said that I'm living my dream this is my dream you know and they showed the picture like a drawing you know that draw like many years ago that was the picture and they just enjoy to be in that picture

aisha makara

You know, every day. I don't know, but like I just feel like some people really want to be creating that picture. They just really enjoy to be in that picture. It's not about like being anywhere else.

aisha makara

It's just to be in this picture kind of thing. I don't know. It's kind of like a was interesting feeling.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's like be being in the moment, you know, not worrying about the past or the future.

aisha makara

Exactly.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

and Just you live now.

aisha makara

Yeah. That's why exactly, that's why they they just enjoy it because they just live now.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

They don't want anything else, they're just living it. And it's enough for them.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think expecting something, particularly you know towards the end of our lives or what we call death, is very unrealistic because what we call nothing, nothing is something.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, nothing is the absent, absent of something, but it doesn't mean it isn't anything. You know, it's the way that we word things. It's the way that we view things is how we put our perspective on those things.

aisha makara

who

aisha makara

Exactly, the the filter that we have through our reality.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm.

aisha makara

i you know I agree with you. I feel like we all have a like a perspective of our life. Yes, we're all like sharing the reality that we're living in. At the same time, we have our own reality that we're living in as well.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, through our own lenses.

aisha makara

it's like a through our own lenses and that's the beauty of of life itself because ah for example I was thinking sometimes when I'm communicating something to someone for example we have a conversation and I said something that in my world is just funny you know like very funny and I think it's very positive and it's just like ah I said something from my perspective it's funny and I'm starting to laugh at my own kind of like a joke you know

aisha makara

And another person would look at me and say like, what's this funny about this? and And I'm like, you don't see the funny, funny, like a moment in this. And like, I feel like a little bit like this tension, you know?

aisha makara

like attention of me explaining why I see it funny and that the other person doesn't, you know, like see this funny perspective and like, and having this like kind of like argument of like other person doesn't see it funny, you know?

aisha makara

So for me, it's like every time when I have this moment, I was like, hmm, what is happening within me that I have this little like conflict?

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm.

aisha makara

That's why I have this conflict right now. It's me or me right now. So like I get to kind of like explain it or find a way to be as positive as possible about this, you know, and don't escalate it. You know, so like I giving in hugs or like I said, I love you. You know, I didn't mean it or, you know, please forgive me. And it was with just meanest misunderstanding. You know, I don't want in my mind is like, it doesn't make sense to escalate the, uh,

aisha makara

the conversation or like kind of escalate the the misunderstanding of the reality that we're living in and I don't want to kind of like go towards then that negativity of exploring that much like this because like I prefer it's my choice living in my world the way I see it for myself and when other people don't see it, it's up to them.

aisha makara

I'm not here to kind of, like, explaining them, showing them, spend my time and energy of arguing about this or something like that, you know? So, like, I feel it's better to say, I love you, please forgive me, I'm sorry, you know?

aisha makara

Something like that. So, like, I'm, and give a hug, like, we're friends.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

You know, we just have misunderstanding of our reality, that's it.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think that I think people misunderstand people so much that, you know, it sometimes even breaks a relationship between two people.

aisha makara

um

aisha makara

yeah

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And it's it's not ah something you hate each other. It's the fact that you can't understand each other, you know, and I don't know.

aisha makara

Yeah, correct.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I personally feel that sometimes those misunderstandings can be easily solved, but I feel like

aisha makara

Yes, correct. People don't want to.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

We just get frustrated and we just say, fuck this, you know, we're not doing it.

aisha makara

over Yeah, exactly. I feel like, for example, in my relationship, like I was telling my friends as well, like when I have a relationship, like romantic relationship, I feel like when I'm spending so with someone for like five years or 10 years of like ah of my life, this person was my family like all these years and I spending like 10 years of my life or like 15 years of my life with this person And some kind of, like, a small disagreement is happening, you know, and I'm feeling like, I don't want to destroy my relationship with that person. Even so, the maybe romance is over. The thing says there's so many other things you can explore and can know about each other.

aisha makara

and so you don't need to close that door of friendship and or like relationship towards the the the reality that we're living in because we enjoy to be with that person like in a general you know like a picture of it being in this relationship and I'm feeling like people they focusing in just one area and they don't want to see the whole picture of the influence of what we created together while we've been together and I do see that and I really appreciate that and I feel like it's very important to appreciate that and say to that person you know I'm always here for you no matter what you know I'm your friend and I want to like and just like asking sometimes how are you you know like ah how's it like to share some maybe like some moments of your life

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

Just like, just be like a friend, even though maybe they don't reply or like they still said it, whatever matters or whatever. but Like the thing says is, it's like you are still there showing up for them. You know, and that's, I feel like many people don't do that. And I feel like, why do people don't do that? I do that, you know, and I'm feeling like, why you don't do that? I mean, for me, I really appreciate all these years that I spent. Yes, romance is finished. And I still like, ah appreciate what we had together, how much I grow from this relationship, how much smarter I become, how much knowledge I got. Like, it's like, it's growing, you're growing together.

aisha makara

um And you continue to grow when you continue to evolve and continue sharing with each other life, a little bit of your life, what's going on, what's happening and be kind of inspired or ah be like to support or, you know, like it's sharing some knowledge in that moment, how they can improve something in their habits or I don't know, I'm just feeling like people just stop to connect.

aisha makara

after what the romance is finished, you know, like from my observation of they cannot repair the relationship after the breakup.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

but You know, a lot of it, I can give you a great example, um even for myself. I've been primarily been out of romantic relationships. I've had very, very few. um I was in one this year. It lasted three weeks, almost a month. And um the one of the primary reasons was because we only knew each other for a short period. And we had three fights. Therefore, that's deal breaker. My perspective is this. I feel a lot of times people come up with the most pathetic

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Excuses imaginable Because imagine if you took the same thing and said to your brother or mother Sister best friend go down the list Say the exact same thing to that person Is that a lot I can give you another example people will break up well You kissed another person and therefore I no longer have a connection with you

aisha makara

I don't know. Yeah, I know. I know. I i know that it's this like, guy yeah, I know.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You understand what I'm saying? It's like these unthoughtful perspectives as the reasons to end relationships that logically do not make app any sense at all.

aisha makara

at all Yeah, I agree with that.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

And this is what I was telling to the people like. I have a friend in Norway, I have some friends who will be married for 15 years and have like two kids and have a big beautiful house. And he betrayed her with some other woman. And i I was telling her, listen, 15 years of your relationship, he was fine. I said, something has just happened in relationship. So you get to just be getting out what had happened and just continue to work together.

aisha makara

and it was like a whole like drama and it was like a lot of crying and a lot of tears sadness and like blah blah blah and blah blah blah and it's been passed already like seven years I think eight years and i and um and they're not together but like they still don't talk to each other they like The kids is like between, you know, like a car is between and they just, kids is just walking towards mommy car and daddy car and like, and that's it. Parents is just like practically like just communicating via chats and that's it. And I was, I was talking to her, to my friend and I said to her, why do you do that to yourself? And she said, oh, you don't understand anything. I said like, yeah, probably I cannot give you any advice because I don't have kids. I'm not married. So I cannot give you any advice. I can give you some, you know, so like the ideas that you can think about.

aisha makara

If you open to that, you know, and she's not open, you know, she's not open to like, it's okay. I don't, you know, I don't have, but I'm just feeling like sometimes people don't understand the value of the time that they spend together and the the focusing on the beauty of that time that they spend together.

aisha makara

you know of all these years all the vacations you know all these things that they experienced with the kids the the kids was born you know you see the first ah like it's amazing experiences and i'm feeling people just because of that destroying everything that they experience

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think. Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I think also I can kind of also hear their perspective, which is where. It almost belittles everything that has everything that's good that has come to them up until that point that you have thrown everything, met ah you know, um not not physically, you know, out the window.

aisha makara

here oh Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

So what you end up with is people that can't talk to each other. They don't want to look at each other. They don't want to. and It's terrible. I mean, especially when you have children, because now you have two parents, you know, that can't stand each other, won't talk to each other. So you have to go back and forth. That is traumatizing for children.

aisha makara

It is.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

So is that your is that your dog?

aisha makara

I mean, that's what, yeah, two dogs.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Is that yours?

aisha makara

Yeah. Two girls. la the door to Labradors. Two labradors.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You two Labradors?

aisha makara

Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

All their babies.

aisha makara

Three years old.

aisha makara

Yeah, the babies.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They're little babies.

aisha makara

They're hyper. Do you see Do you see them? A little bit over there?

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm-hmm.

aisha makara

Yeah, I feel like it's I can open up and you can see them. They can come down. i No, they cannot because the garage is open, so it's not going to be working.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

but ah yeah sorry for that

aisha makara

I agree with you. but I don't want to look do like, a I'm just saying like i'm everything is just perspective and the way you look at it. Like how you get over something that in big pictures, it doesn't matter.

aisha makara

You know of when you started happening like in a regular basis something like that it hurts you you have to ask yourself What is happening in the relationship or within me that I have this like it's showing up in my life Because I feel like everything is within and every time when we're creating something we get the chicken first with ourself and ask ourselves what's happening in my world that I'm creating this drama or like this thing why you know like and

Lost in the Groove Podcast

But yeah, sorry for that.

aisha makara

And I'm just feeling like it's all about being um open to learn about life and appreciate life itself, yeah like general, because what's happening, like in reality, that's what's from my experience. um When you're in a relationship and like, especially when you have kids in a relationship and after that,

aisha makara

very few percentage of the people who end up in a healthy second relationship. Most of them, they just go from relationship to relationship, you know, and they're not like any more kind of focusing on, how was to say like, ah keep that relationship because they're feeling I'm okay by myself, you know, I'm actually like,

aisha makara

figuring out that for myself, I'm fine, you know, something like that. Many like just when they're getting into a relationship, they feeling like I'm fine. If it something happened, I'm fine. You know, it's, I don't need to kind of like this conversation. So on when you're like younger and you're like in a relationship, you kind of way more open work together, like on the bigger picture or on the bigger plan or like, you know, focusing on something more bigger that you're working together towards.

aisha makara

And I feel like after a while it's just changed because some people like kind of like lost, some people like lost the hope and they just moving, you know, until the kids is growing up and after they just don't know what even to do with their life, you know, and they just, when their kids is out, they just don't know even what to do. You know, they don't have any kind of like a motivation of growth.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, it. It almost answers an unsolved, an unsolved mystery, which is we have a lot of ability of how we communicate and relate with people around us. But, you know, the more that we pay attention, we can realize that we literally turn people on and off.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Like, think about it. You know, you ever go back to a memory and you're like, oh, oh, they were there, right? You know, or, oh, yeah, I remember them.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

So you're turning them off.

aisha makara

Yeah. Mhmm.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You do that consciously, but you're like, yeah, oh, yeah, you know, but you don't, your mind is constantly trying to avoid thinking about them, memories, things that happen,

aisha makara

That's true. And I feel like after I mean, sometimes I think or believe that life giving us a second chance to look at things a little bit more closer and pay attention to some more details and understanding the value of your own life, you know, and I feeling like everyone get to decide that value for themselves and go from that value.

aisha makara

And I feel some time for women ah from my perspective, like everyone, every woman can be different. And I feel like it's a value in the man that she's investing, you know, and she's investing her energy, her time, and like what he's worth right now and how much he can grow to the next level, you know, like because, because she's in a picture with him, she like he's feeling feeling way more motivated.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm.

aisha makara

He wants to grow way more and he wants to do more things because when a woman is believing in him and every time saying, I believe in you, you know, and you can, you can do it, you know, and even so he's like lose today.

aisha makara

It doesn't matter tomorrow. It's in your day, you know, like, and you can win again. It's like general, you already winner. You know, I feel like I feel women brings the value in the, in the men of our life.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

And I feel like everyone get to decide for themselves what they want in life, each woman or man. I feel like we're all in charge of our own reality and the way we want to have that picture or lifestyle or um way of being or way of living. Everyone get to decide where they want to be and don't have any like a second thought about that. Just decide this is what I want. That's it.

aisha makara

You know, like, of course you will have a different reaction of your friends in the beginning, you know, if you're, um, and it's okay that it's normal. I call it, I call it like cleansing of the reality.

aisha makara

Who is, who is well, when you make that pure decision for yourself, who is your really friends with, will support you with your decision and who is like just judging you or like jealous of you, you know, it would be, uh, Mm-hmm.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

and And and clinging on to you, you know, not letting you breathe.

aisha makara

Exactly.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, i there there is something about having meaningful people in your life, and it's almost where, you know, it's like it's like a personal investment.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

you know not only in yourself but in the other person like I don't know maybe it's just me but there are times that like when you have someone that's important to you and they like succeed even though it has nothing to do with you you kind of feel excited also you ever have that you know it's like I'm not doing this like I'm not getting anything

aisha makara

i i'm because i'm general like i'm very like generally happy and joyful human being and I'm really excited for other success and I'm really happy like from my heart that others succeed and I'm really like having this feeling of joy you know of that experience with them that I'm sharing this moment with them you know and I'm feeling like that's something very beautiful and unique to experience special when you're like in a big are like areas and where your friends do something bigger than them themselves and after like they you they're supporting them I feel like that that's amazing feeling to have you know because I love that feeling

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I Yeah, I you know, it's I mean the more the more that we talk about it's Almost we're We're on this planet for some for some reason like if you believe in science if you don't believe in science the way that we exist There's a reason why we exist. There's a reason why humans have only survived because we develop language and communities. We don't survive on our own. Some people do. Some people really do. But most of us need other people. We cannot survive any other way. And um why is that? I don't think we know, but it is very significant.

aisha makara

It is. And I feel like special now in our community that we're living in, people understanding the power of the dreams and the power they can influence, the power of the creator and the way they can like influence the reality by being there, you know, like sharing the voice and continue to share the voice for years and years and years. I feel like and it's it's create impact in the people minds. Like that's what my experience of like For example, me um reading and following the journey of Robin Sharma, he's a writer. And he was one of my like favorite writers like for many, many years. And I'm just following his journey. And he continuously um sharing with people about to be positive, you know continue to be joyful, continue to like

aisha makara

create impact, continue to be helpful, be in service. And it doesn't matter like what service you choose, but do that with a ah gratitude in your heart. And you know, like, like doing this work of and sharing his um gratefulness towards the world that he has.

aisha makara

And he continuously creating this and evolving other people in into his life, like Tony Robbins, for example. I feel like by him sharing his values and being example for others, um ah doing his business the way he's doing it, by motivating and inspiring so many people around the United States and around the world, I feel like he's doing his best to be example, you know? And I feel like that's, it's completely different um like I call it like a level of being example as a human being and dedicate himself towards the the work that he's doing through his life. It means a lot ah from from my perspective when people do these things ah for the humanity and yes, they're making money. that's ah it's ah it's ah It's a normal win-win situation when you're putting your heart and your soul towards that, it's a natural

aisha makara

things that is happening, it's the the the people putting that value in you. And that's why you have value so much because the people put that value.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

You know, you're just putting there the the numbers there and people i agree with that number and you just say, and they slowly like growing your value because they want you.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

They want us to experience your energy. They want to be there and like sharing this moment with you, sharing what you're sharing. And I feel like they and understand the impact with the mind, what mind can create.

aisha makara

Not so many people dare to dream to that level and take responsibility over that level of, I call it like, let it in go of the control and just like be authentic.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's being able to get into the depths of your own self. It's being able to find a way to make your own purpose. You know, I feel like so many times you we have other people making our own purpose.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

o you got to Look, it's not an easy route to be an artistic person or to be somebody that's creative or passionate to make a good living.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

i mean

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You have to figure out a way to survive, you know, and if it's cars, then it's cars. If it's welding, then it's welding. If it's architecture, it's architecture. It doesn't make you less of a person.

aisha makara

Exactly. I feel it's that like ah the value or the impact ah we create already by being here is already enough. By sharing and being in the planet Earth, it's already enough.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah. Hmm.

aisha makara

It's not about like ah what status you have, what background, it's just because we're here. It's already enough. It's more than enough. And continue to create the value and continue to build.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Should be enough.

aisha makara

You create a ah better life, not just for yourself, but many others. around you.

aisha makara

That's how I see that.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

And I feel like it's not too many people in our lifetime, like at least in my like um they sharing the same vision or like understanding of the vision that we can all move towards that peaceful way of living where we don't need to fight. We don't need to like decide who is more right and who is less right. I'm just feeling like everyone get to decide for themselves what matters for them while they're here and be open enough to share and like when they need support and ask for that support and be vulnerable to ask for that support.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, you know, it's. It's where being in that um mindset of that, you know, you' you're on your own and nobody's there to support you or help you. It it will ruin your life, I promise you that. I mean, there are people in your life, maybe some people may be more and some people may be less. But I'm sure like there are people that you can reach out.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

that can give you that support. And if you're the type of person that says, well, I don't have any person like that in my life. Maybe you're the problem.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Right.

aisha makara

exactly yeah you gotta to be open that's what i was like i understood like so many people like all my all world is my family all the planet earth is my family and they get so many places that i haven't gone yet and my family is there waiting for me this is how i look at it

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

That and he so i I would assume you are a world traveler.

aisha makara

Yeah, ah my family is everywhere. yeah But that's the...

Lost in the Groove Podcast

how many countries How many countries have you visited?

aisha makara

the Well, around 70.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, um only 70.

aisha makara

It has so much to go. So many countries to go. Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Wow.

aisha makara

i mean i'm very happy I mean I'm very happy because it was like a part of my life when I was traveling so much and it's tiring you know when you're traveling a lot a lot all the time it's tiring as well and you know the funny things what I don't have for traveling is when I'm traveling I'm actually spending way more less money than when I'm living like normal normal life.

aisha makara

um like it's just completely different way of being and it's also tiring because you you're so creative you every time kind of like having all this like a creative ideas to experiment and go to the new places and try like a new meet new friends who wants to go there go like in the mountains do like so many amazing adventure and when When you include yourself to all these different adventures, it's amazing. This instance is also like ah tiring. you know like After a while, you get to decide which group of the friends you want to be with. And from my perspective, I would like to kind of create my own like ah i go like a creative hub of my friends who wants to come and visit and live with me here where I am, because I feel like it would be way more fun.

aisha makara

and when you have your own people like really dedicated their ideas in life towards something like healthy and happy and humble that's

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

something like who's the stoners like me so you

Lost in the Groove Podcast

to and

aisha makara

can be like to let fill out like get to like be philosophical

Lost in the Groove Podcast

oh That was a thing that like I'm not a world traveler. I've only been to a handful of places, but when I was in Britain, that was one thing that kind of pissed me off is like.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

There's no stoners. they I mean, like there probably are, but.

aisha makara

ah Probably are you just didn't you haven't meet them you haven't meet them.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They're all hidden.

aisha makara

I just seem like you haven't meet these people who are and Who was there You just haven't meet them because you've been doing well maybe like a touristic thing.

aisha makara

I'm trying to find a...

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, I have I know pete I have actually a friend that lives out in Manchester.

aisha makara

Oh, Manchester is very cool.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

So it is

aisha makara

I think Manchester is a very cool spot. It's like a lot of things there. It's um a lot of things lot of cool things to visit.

aisha makara

to see and it's a very beautiful city. I don't know about people, but I think it's a very beautiful city itself.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It is. I mean.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I mean, OK, so you said you've been to like 70 plus countries.

aisha makara

it's

Lost in the Groove Podcast

OK, was it like mostly Europe or was it like mostly Asia?

aisha makara

ah Mostly Europe, mostly Asia, Africa, South America. I travel like 42 states of America and um i I had the opportunity like to go to Alaska and i didn my friend, when she was living there for like a year, she invited me several times to visit her and I was like,

Lost in the Groove Podcast

oh

aisha makara

depressed. I was at time like depressed and a little bit like down.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's not a place to go like.

aisha makara

And i'm like has said and I was feeling like I will go right now at to Alaska for like a week. It's going to be you just take too much of of me but I would sometimes I'm like right now like when I'm looking back and like I supposed to just go because I would probably feel a little bit better.

aisha makara

You know like I learned one thing about me like when I'm feeling like a little bit like um like shitty or like I like call it like sad a little bit like not depressed because it's normal like as a creative person you have these moments of like up and downs and I feel like general like I'm very positive person and and then and I have this like a moment when I'm sad or feeling like not good about the things and like I'm a little bit disappointed, upset. So like, I'm frustrated. so som I'm giving myself that space and just see how how how long it's going to be because before I didn't give myself that space. I was like, no, I get to be like positive and chanting and do my mentors and kind of like it's good to stay in that space.

aisha makara

And it's not good because after a while you're numbing yourself, you know, and ah and after a while you don't even understand ah the feelings of others. Like when they're going through ah sadness or something like a jeep. You cannot understand it because you're staying in this high vibration and you're kind of like doing your best to uplift them. and But they don't they're not there. Sometimes people don't need to be uplifted. they just need that somebody listen to them, that's it. We'll give him hug.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, you don't even have to use any words. You know, it's just we all have our different love languages and that's not necessarily sexual or romantic. It's just a way of how we are comforted, you know, and how we connect to other people. You know, one thing that I one thing just out of observation.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Women tend to be a lot better at love language towards other women than men are towards other men. Like, generally speaking, like a lot of women are able to comfort, you know, their but men.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Bro, like, don't touch me, man, that's homo.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

What? You know, like, guys get weirded out when they hug each other like, bro, weird.

aisha makara

Yeah, it's rare.

aisha makara

You know, when I was living in Florida, it was the same about women. Like, I'm a very touchy person. Touch is my first language of love, you know, and I'm i'm touching a lot. And I love it. You know, I love to touch. And I just said it like, it was moment of my life when I was scared to touch because people get you like different thoughts and different ideas. And I'm like, if something is wrong, you know, like, and I'm like,

aisha makara

ah I get to communicate it so I started to listen and people said like because I'm touching too much and I'm kind of like making people like kind of be attached to me.

aisha makara

Like, you know, they kind of want to be closer to me and more closer and like, and kind of feeling so cozy around me that it's, um and I don't, you know, I, yes.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Damn, they haven't seen action.

aisha makara

And I feel like it's nice. And at the same time, I do, I don't mean it. For example, like I was um the ghost, like I was in Florida with many, I was hanging out with many ghosts and I was always touching.

aisha makara

They were always hanging out in my house. And one day after like a month or two of hang out almost every day, I'm like saying to the girls, why are you like all of it the time? Why are we always hang out in my house? ah Like why would not go to your house or to your house? And they said, because it's so cozy, you're making the place so cozy and you're like so welcoming and you're so like warm and you're like very touchy that I would like to just like be next to you and just kind of like you're giving this like um

aisha makara

mama bear feeling, you know, and that I'm like, okay, it's very good to, ah to know.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I am.

aisha makara

And the same time, I'm like, it just happened like so natural. And one girl, she was like, ah into me and like, and I was like, I'm not into girls. What's happening?

aisha makara

And you know, what's like, and it was very open. at me I mean, obviously, I tell her

Lost in the Groove Podcast

a

aisha makara

You know, I'm i'm ah very ah open, you know, I don't mind that you like me and everything like that, but at the same time, I'm like, I'm not into into that. Are you okay with that? And it was like a very nice, like a transition, you know, to towards like ah being French. She was a little bit, she's very also creative. She's an artist and like, and she was a little bit upset, I remember, and she didn't talk to me for like a few weeks or something.

aisha makara

and um

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh my god.

aisha makara

Yes, when the people don't, you know, I don't, I'm not a scary of like ah a rejection. Like it's not, it's, it's like, I used to say to people, okay, it's like, you can be rejected in the romantic way. It's so many other ways you can hang out and like having great time. It's like, it doesn't need to be necessary that way. You know, it's just, it's a human interaction can be in so many different ways. And like, it's like, I don't see any point of saying someone I like you and like and if he says to me I don't like you I said like okay cool like we can continue to be friends you know continue to play like I was so it was like a some moments of my life when I was doing acro and I was um rejected like a a few times like inviting the guys on the date or something like that and I was like still friends you know we still continue to do acro yoga we continue to like

aisha makara

Oh my gosh, I get to start paying attention to that. And I listen to myself like, yes, I get to do that. And I still don't do that. I'm not good at it, to pay attention what's happening around me because I'm so busy to creating what I want to create that I don't see anything around me.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think it's really cool that you're using gold. I mean, because, hey, shimmer, glitter. Nothing wrong with shimmering glitter.

aisha makara

No, at all. First of all, I believe in unicorns and mermaids.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You do?

aisha makara

Yes, I do believe in that. And I meet a lot of unicorns and mermaids in Florida, for example. It's amazing. I really, ah in theories as well. I meet in North Carolina, a lot of theories.

aisha makara

It was so beautiful. I don't know how to explain it, but I just know it. because I'm also like mushrooms, you know, i i trip it I'm um kind of like, it was a time of my life when I was shrimming a lot and there and I just, you, ah moving towards different real realms and my realm was more like a fairy tales and like seeing other people as fairy tale role, you know, it was a like very beautiful.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I get you. I've done. I've done shrooms before, so.

aisha makara

I don't know how to explain it.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

you No, shrooms is interesting. It kind of takes you into a different reality. You know, you're almost in a different dimension, you know, and what we perceive in this reality is to be fiction.

aisha makara

Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

In that reality, it's something completely different.

aisha makara

Yeah, first of all, I'm a witch.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's actually more real and alive. Hmm?

aisha makara

You know, in my i'm ah I'm a witch or like I go like more be like, um it's like I'm not like a witch, but I know about witchcraft. You know, I understand some powers of like magical powers.

aisha makara

I understand how they navigate the energy, how to play with energy, how to like, um create energy, you know? I feel like everyone has that different powers when they access to that reality or that real. And also many people um open to explore that. they're getting I get scared first time. I mean, it's normal, I think. And after when you're like facing it and exploring it, I feel like everyone has um everything in them. like Dark cannot go with with light. you know Everything is connected, and they're connected. so like And there's so many colors. And we we have a power to create from the darkness light. you know We can filter it. And it's going to be more like,

aisha makara

more colorful or more delightful. It depends the level we're braiding in this reel or in this body.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

I believe everything is about frequency and our frequency can change. Depends what we're eating and where we are in the world.

aisha makara

It's a different frequency and different waves. So you never know. you know like You never know which frequency you are right now because you can have the idea and and in your analytical mind in the reality you don't know.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Uh-huh.

aisha makara

That's the beauty of it. You never know. It's just like you get a B.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

You just, I believe when we authentic ourself, no matter what, in which environment we are, in which settings we are, ah we attracted the people who is vibrating in the same level or like the same frequency in that moment.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

That's my kind of like idea of reality that I'm living.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I mean, we arent we are made out of energy. You know, that energy's gotta go somewhere. So, yeah, it's always moving.

aisha makara

It's always moving.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And it the thing is, it'sy it's infinite. It never dies. You know, it always it always survives. So meaning, like, even when we die, we are still alive.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

in some way, in a form of energy.

aisha makara

form of energy. I mean, we just, in my perspective, like it's never It's never ending life. You're consistently living. it's ah You're just moving from place to place, from the reality to reality. And it's just different reality that you get to adapt. And this reality we're living, like and the like ah these things was created by us. Actually, when you're going deeper in the mind, you see absolutely everything what we have, of what we use right now, we created it with our mind.

aisha makara

And that's ah the beauty of how powerful our mind is, how much we can create actually, and how much we continue to create.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

Think about the blockchain right now, like we're creating a blockchain, so it's a virtual rooms that can be any size that you want it can be like whole planet it can be like whole universe or galaxy whatever you decide it's just no limits how big blockchain can be so like

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

It's beautiful. At the same time, I'm feeling like you cannot see that in this world and it exists in the virtual world, you know, with everything, with all the data that we have and all the knowledge of the, like,

aisha makara

of the coding that we have like we understand with our minds. And I feel like I would like to create more like a program people towards a more joyful mindset ah from my perspective, like when they started to app appreciate the life they have, they appreciate absolutely everything that life brings for them. I felt their life become way more rich And they can they can live more meaningful life for themselves and they understand that they have time for absolutely anything that they want to live while they're here.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah.

aisha makara

That it's time for absolutely everything. And when people understand that, I feel when they find that peace within, that they can live all all their dream in this lifetime. I feel that's why they can calm their mind and appreciate ah what they have now.

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, now what they not what they've had in the past and not what they have later.

aisha makara
