In this last of the series exploring Fierce Serenity through the lens of different bodies, Jen and Jane share their experience with their own unfolding spiritual practices, looking at where the spiritual body practices are connected to the physical, mental, and emotional bodies, and how they are taking an even closer look at the language around the capitalist spirituality industry, sharing where they have to apply their own Fierce Serenity to the work they do.

They also talk about how simple, day-to-day practices such as listening to the birds, being out in nature, and eating with presence and mindfulness are straightforward ways to grow your own spiritual practice. But what if each moment of your day, meal, each thing you touched, was a spiritual experience?

Jen Lang: 00:00:47

Hi, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of no

Jen Lang: 00:00:50

halos here with Jen Lang and Jane Stark. And we're recording

Jen Lang: 00:00:55

this on a Friday so I'm gonna wish you all happy Friday, no

Jen Lang: 00:00:57

matter what day you're listening to this.

Jane Stark: 00:01:01

Happy Friday morning and it's sunny here. I feel like

Jane Stark: 00:01:03

we talk about the weather every time

Jen Lang: 00:01:06

lately, but has been exceptional weather

Jane Stark: 00:01:08

is like it's the topic out here on the West

Jane Stark: 00:01:11

Coast. It is the topic du jour. Yeah, yeah. So anyways, we have

Jane Stark: 00:01:16

some sun today. And that makes me

Jen Lang: 00:01:17

really happy makes me really happy. Yeah, yesterday,

Jen Lang: 00:01:20

it was six degrees. And it felt like

Jane Stark: 00:01:21

1am raining sideways one in May, mid May.

Jen Lang: 00:01:25

Just shocking. But the F. Anyway, moving past the

Jen Lang: 00:01:29

weather today we are approaching our our sort of final topic in

Jen Lang: 00:01:33

this series talking about first serenity. And we're talking

Jen Lang: 00:01:36

about fear serenity in the spiritual body. So we've moved

Jen Lang: 00:01:39

from the physical, mental, emotional, today we're hopping

Jen Lang: 00:01:42

into the spiritual space. And kind of unpacked a bit of this

Jen Lang: 00:01:46

topic yesterday. Where do you want to start with this? There's

Jen Lang: 00:01:50

like, there's so many things floating around out. It's like

Jen Lang: 00:01:52

where do we want to like just land first, maybe with a

Jen Lang: 00:01:55

spiritual practice.

Jane Stark: 00:01:58

Like talking about spiritual practice?

Jen Lang: 00:02:00

Well, talking about what a spiritual practice is,

Jen Lang: 00:02:03

and can be. I think so many people. So many people think

Jen Lang: 00:02:09

that they're quote, unquote, not spiritual, because they don't

Jen Lang: 00:02:11

have a spiritual practice.

Jane Stark: 00:02:13

Yeah, you know what, let's talk about our journeys

Jane Stark: 00:02:17

into what we would call our spiritual practices or

Jane Stark: 00:02:20

spirituality. I think that might be an interesting kind of lead

Jane Stark: 00:02:24

in because I also as reflecting on this and like what you just

Jane Stark: 00:02:27

said about what it isn't isn't, I definitely have found over my

Jane Stark: 00:02:33

last, however many years of this journey, it's definitely

Jane Stark: 00:02:36

shifted, and I. So I think that would be really interesting to

Jane Stark: 00:02:41

unpack a bit. So let's start there. You want me to start with

Jane Stark: 00:02:45

what my journey is?

Jen Lang: 00:02:47

I think, yeah, start with your journey. I think you

Jen Lang: 00:02:50

may have heard some of this on some of the other episodes. But

Jen Lang: 00:02:52

if you're just tuning in for the first time, grab a cup of tea,

Jen Lang: 00:02:56

sit back, or walk, drive your car, whatever you're doing.

Jane Stark: 00:03:00

Yeah, and I'm not gonna go into like he said, we

Jane Stark: 00:03:02

have talked about it in a few different episodes. But I think

Jane Stark: 00:03:05

the Coles notes are just, for me, it really, it's, it's

Jane Stark: 00:03:10

actually been interesting because for me, it actually

Jane Stark: 00:03:12

started in a similar way that we've structured your serenity

Jane Stark: 00:03:15

in terms of for me, it started with my physical body and my

Jane Stark: 00:03:17

physical health. And then I started diving into that. And

Jane Stark: 00:03:21

then that led me into sort of some of the Mental Health

Jane Stark: 00:03:24

pieces. And, you know, I started doing some therapy and some

Jane Stark: 00:03:28

coaching. And then the coaching led me into the emotional body.

Jane Stark: 00:03:32

And I started looking more at the somatic elements, and

Jane Stark: 00:03:35

working with various coaches and healers. And that then, finally

Jane Stark: 00:03:40

moved me into redefining spirituality or connecting and

Jane Stark: 00:03:45

finding, I think, what spirituality was for me, and it

Jane Stark: 00:03:51

shifted like, I definitely, you know, went through the phase

Jane Stark: 00:03:55

where it was all about the mainstream spirituality and, you

Jane Stark: 00:04:00

know, okay, the essential oils really spoke to me and crystals

Jane Stark: 00:04:04

and, you know, meditation and just that there was this, Jen's

Jane Stark: 00:04:11

got some noisy tracks in the background. If you hear her,

Jane Stark: 00:04:15

come in and out, she's trying to trying to save your ears from

Jane Stark: 00:04:18

the rumbling. So, yeah, really just like Bahding buying into

Jane Stark: 00:04:25

this, what I'd say mainstream spirituality movement has sort

Jane Stark: 00:04:30

of emerged. And you know, I definitely went through my phase

Jane Stark: 00:04:34

of that. And now I'd say, I've shifted and moved into really

Jane Stark: 00:04:40

coming more into myself, and what is it actually from me, and

Jane Stark: 00:04:44

what do I need? And how does that look? And it's not that any

Jane Stark: 00:04:47

of those things inherently are bad or whatever, but it

Jane Stark: 00:04:52

definitely was an interesting journey to kind of go Why am I

Jane Stark: 00:04:56

doing things this way or why? You know, what's where King in

Jane Stark: 00:05:00

what's not like, Am I just going through the motions? So what

Jane Stark: 00:05:04

conclusion like Like, like, like, Yeah, I'm at that time. So

Jane Stark: 00:05:12

here's the thing I look back at. And at that there's a time and a

Jane Stark: 00:05:15

place I had to be there, I had to go through that. And I still,

Jane Stark: 00:05:19

I mean, I still have essential oils, and I still I don't use

Jane Stark: 00:05:21

them as much as I used to. But I think that's also just there's

Jane Stark: 00:05:25

seasons for things. And I think that that will also, you know,

Jane Stark: 00:05:28

I've seen myself kind of come in and out, use some more, use them

Jane Stark: 00:05:31

less. Yeah, connecting in with, you know, meditation, shifting

Jane Stark: 00:05:38

things. So movement has become a bigger thing for me, like

Jane Stark: 00:05:42

embodied movement is now something that I would say as

Jane Stark: 00:05:46

part of my own spiritual practice, where it's really just

Jane Stark: 00:05:49

about getting in my body.

Jen Lang: 00:05:52

That is for a lot of people, though, too. Because

Jen Lang: 00:05:55

even if you exercise, you can still be disconnected from your

Jen Lang: 00:05:58

body, because you can still be quote, unquote, just going

Jen Lang: 00:06:01

through the motions. And so this disengagement of when you're not

Jen Lang: 00:06:05

using, or not engaging all of your senses, physical, mental,

Jen Lang: 00:06:10

emotional, and spiritual, in the act of time, that's what being

Jen Lang: 00:06:13

present is being fully engaged physically, mentally,

Jen Lang: 00:06:17

emotionally and spiritually. So if we sort of bring that

Jen Lang: 00:06:21

spirituality piece, I'll just sort of unpack it separately

Jen Lang: 00:06:25

from the rest of those areas. If you're just going through the

Jen Lang: 00:06:28

motions, then you're not getting the benefit of the actual thing

Jen Lang: 00:06:30

you're practicing.

Jane Stark: 00:06:31

Absolutely. And I think even one of the ways that

Jane Stark: 00:06:34

I tied that in is, as I moved through, for me, as I moved

Jane Stark: 00:06:38

through each of those four areas, it wasn't like, Okay, now

Jane Stark: 00:06:42

I'm just into the mental body, or now I'm just into the

Jane Stark: 00:06:44

spiritual body, all of those other pieces, elements of them

Jane Stark: 00:06:47

were coming along with me. So, you know, when I was really

Jane Stark: 00:06:51

focused on my physical health, I did a pretty drastic lifestyle

Jane Stark: 00:06:57

overhaul and diet like not not diet, but like, just, I cleaned

Jane Stark: 00:07:01

up my diet, I really, you know, started to pay attention to what

Jane Stark: 00:07:05

foods my body was just not happy with and, and so that kind of

Jane Stark: 00:07:10

carried through, and I think that's an element of

Jane Stark: 00:07:12

spirituality too, right? Like, that's, again, it, it's like you

Jane Stark: 00:07:16

say, for where I am now is, it's like, all of those things are

Jane Stark: 00:07:21

great. And if they feel, you know, if the meditation if the

Jane Stark: 00:07:24

music, if the journaling feels good, then that's what I need in

Jane Stark: 00:07:30

that moment. But I don't need to stick to some sort of, like,

Jane Stark: 00:07:36

some sort of image of what a spiritual person does or looks

Jane Stark: 00:07:41

like or, and so, but you know, like, paying attention to what

Jane Stark: 00:07:46

goes in my body. And that doesn't mean like, I'm not some,

Jane Stark: 00:07:52

like, I eat, I eat all sorts of different things, right? There's

Jane Stark: 00:07:55

chocolate, there's chips, there's stuff, but it's, but

Jane Stark: 00:07:58

it's in moderation. And it's really connecting into care.

Jane Stark: 00:08:02

What does my body want? What does my body need? And noticing,

Jane Stark: 00:08:05

like, you know, when I eat high, high vegetable content, and low

Jane Stark: 00:08:10

sugar, I feel better. And that, to me is a part of just being

Jane Stark: 00:08:15

present, being aware of being like, that's the spirituality,

Jane Stark: 00:08:20

that's the part where it actually like allows me to just

Jane Stark: 00:08:23

be centered and grounded and open up.

Jen Lang: 00:08:27

Awesome, sorry, my secondary monitor just went

Jen Lang: 00:08:30

black. Just that I was like, Oh, that's weird. I don't know

Jen Lang: 00:08:36

what's going on. But anyway, we'll figure it out later. Not a

Jen Lang: 00:08:39

big deal. Um, I love what you were saying about how, like a

Jen Lang: 00:08:45

spiritual practice can be just a part of your day to day

Jen Lang: 00:08:47

activities. And so I think that you choose to eat is a now it's

Jen Lang: 00:08:52

back. Oh, interesting. Okay, help us. A few flashing things.

Jen Lang: 00:09:00

I'll look into that after we finished recording, you know,

Jen Lang: 00:09:03

real life recording in real time squirrel. So the, yeah, I've met

Jen Lang: 00:09:09

because I do have some people in my circle who are very, I'm

Jen Lang: 00:09:13

going to say, extremely disciplined about the food, the

Jen Lang: 00:09:20

water, the nutrients, the supplements that they put into

Jen Lang: 00:09:22

their bodies. And that is a fundamental element of their

Jen Lang: 00:09:26

spiritual practice and their their whole spiritual practice.

Jen Lang: 00:09:31

And I'm personally like, again, it's kind of like you, do you

Jen Lang: 00:09:36

there are times when absolutely I will do so little bit of light

Jen Lang: 00:09:42

fasting or I will be my more mindful of what isn't isn't

Jen Lang: 00:09:46

going into my body. And I sort of tie that into a whole

Jen Lang: 00:09:50

experience. It might be like, Oh, I'd like to just sometimes I

Jen Lang: 00:09:52

just don't feel like eating sometimes I'll just have a day

Jen Lang: 00:09:54

where, you know, I've indulged. I've not indulged, but I you

Jen Lang: 00:09:58

know, I've had heavy food the day before. Were and I was like,

Jen Lang: 00:10:00

Well, I'm not really hungry, I'm not going to eat, it's kind of

Jen Lang: 00:10:03

following those signals. So that when I do eat the spiritual

Jen Lang: 00:10:07

practice piece, the being present with my food, and being

Jen Lang: 00:10:12

present with the the experience of eating, that's bringing a

Jen Lang: 00:10:20

spiritual practice into the act of eating.

Jane Stark: 00:10:23

Yeah, I think like you say, it's, it's, for me,

Jane Stark: 00:10:26

it's really become simplification and bringing it

Jane Stark: 00:10:31

into the everyday bringing it into how I'm being. And

Jane Stark: 00:10:35

bringing, I think being able to connect with I don't know, like,

Jane Stark: 00:10:44

connect with my, with, I don't want to say with my higher self,

Jane Stark: 00:10:48

but just with, with something bigger, something bigger than me

Jane Stark: 00:10:51

and feeling that feeling that I am a part of something bigger.

Jane Stark: 00:10:55

And whether that's literally a walk in nature, I think nature

Jane Stark: 00:10:58

is another huge element of spiritual practice or

Jane Stark: 00:11:02

spirituality, that, again, like some of these things, the

Jane Stark: 00:11:06

interesting thing for me is, as I've started to really unpack

Jane Stark: 00:11:10

this more and more, like, there are many people in my life that

Jane Stark: 00:11:15

I think would not consider themselves spiritual, they would

Jane Stark: 00:11:17

not use that term, but that I look, and I'm like, they

Jane Stark: 00:11:21

absolutely have practices, or are, you know, you know, when we

Jane Stark: 00:11:26

look at our everyday life that especially like I said, getting

Jane Stark: 00:11:29

out into nature, like for me growing up, I never heard nature

Jane Stark: 00:11:32

and spirituality is a synonymous thing. And now I look and I'm

Jane Stark: 00:11:35

like, it's everywhere, it's everywhere. And, you know, when

Jane Stark: 00:11:40

we look at what's in our need, for being in nature, our need to

Jane Stark: 00:11:44

go out and like, be outside and be with the trees or go by the

Jane Stark: 00:11:48

water or feed on the earth. That's all just that connection

Jane Stark: 00:11:53

to something bigger than ourselves bigger than

Jen Lang: 00:11:55

ourselves. Noisy truck alert, keep talking.

Jane Stark: 00:11:59

So that was one of the things that I started to

Jane Stark: 00:12:03

really, really look at. And then this whole idea of being in the

Jane Stark: 00:12:08

now and the present moment. And really, I am definitely somebody

Jane Stark: 00:12:15

who, you know, probably has a more, more propensity to go to

Jane Stark: 00:12:20

an anxious type of person, which means I'm often living in the

Jane Stark: 00:12:25

like future. And so that practice of really being able to

Jane Stark: 00:12:31

bring myself back into the now. And really just being in the

Jane Stark: 00:12:35

present moment. And letting go has been a really powerful piece

Jane Stark: 00:12:41

as well, where I would consider that like, where I've come to

Jane Stark: 00:12:43

now in my own journey around that is just, what can I

Jane Stark: 00:12:48

surrender? What can I let go of reminding myself that I'm safe.

Jane Stark: 00:12:53

So really stepping out of that, to come into the now just what's

Jane Stark: 00:12:56

here and now is all there is.

Jen Lang: 00:12:59

So your journey started with that physical

Jen Lang: 00:13:01

piece, then explored the mental mindset, anxiety and the

Jen Lang: 00:13:06

emotional piece sort of hand in hand with that. And then your

Jen Lang: 00:13:09

spiritual pieces just sort of grown naturally from approaching

Jen Lang: 00:13:16

each of those areas are more

Jane Stark: 00:13:17

structured, like practice routine got up to more

Jane Stark: 00:13:22

organic to more just it's part of how I live my everyday life.

Jane Stark: 00:13:26

So I don't necessarily have a meditation practice that I sit

Jane Stark: 00:13:32

down and do every day. You and I have a fairly consistent routine

Jane Stark: 00:13:36

where we do meditate together, but even that we don't, it's not

Jane Stark: 00:13:39

every day. It's most days. Yeah, Monday to Friday. But you know,

Jane Stark: 00:13:45

whereas at one point in my life, I did literally every morning I

Jane Stark: 00:13:48

sat down and I had, you know, a certain practice and I know you

Jane Stark: 00:13:51

you do, right? Yeah, absolutely. You do. For me, I've been a like

Jane Stark: 00:13:56

I've it's it started to feel restrictive. So I started to

Jane Stark: 00:13:59

just let it go and look at how can I bring these elements into

Jane Stark: 00:14:03

my into my life

Unknown: 00:14:06

changes. So I

Jen Lang: 00:14:10

you know, what, as you I would say that my spiritual

Jen Lang: 00:14:14

path began with actually training in my healing

Jen Lang: 00:14:18

modalities, doing my first Reiki training and doing my first Body

Jen Lang: 00:14:22

Talk access training. I did both of those within a two month

Jen Lang: 00:14:27

period. So I was really no sort of opening those doors. And then

Jen Lang: 00:14:33

someone years ago, a family friend had given me these little

Jen Lang: 00:14:36

angel cards, single word angel things like, you know, light or

Jen Lang: 00:14:40

inspiration or courage, you know, all these little just

Jen Lang: 00:14:44

single word and I'd had them for a while but I hadn't always

Jen Lang: 00:14:49

looked at them. And so I just I would start my day with pulling

Jen Lang: 00:14:52

three of those cards. And that then I started then I made a

Jen Lang: 00:14:56

little altar with on a little IKEA shelf A basket that I

Jen Lang: 00:15:01

turned upside down and put a little cloth on. And I would

Jen Lang: 00:15:03

have my little angel cards there. And I would go through my

Jen Lang: 00:15:06

body talk process, or I would try and sit and meditate. And

Jen Lang: 00:15:10

then it sort of grew and expanded. And eventually, it

Jen Lang: 00:15:13

really started took off when I moved overseas when I moved to

Jen Lang: 00:15:16

Abu Dhabi. And I was looking for some new routines to ground

Jen Lang: 00:15:19

myself into that location and that I didn't have a regular job

Jen Lang: 00:15:23

to go to I was looking for work and doing business training. And

Jen Lang: 00:15:28

I basically, yeah, it just grew and expanded naturally. From

Jen Lang: 00:15:33

there. I think I did morning pages, I read the artists way

Jen Lang: 00:15:36

and did morning pages, which I still miss actually, I kind of

Jen Lang: 00:15:40

when I do do them. I'm like, Oh, I do

Jane Stark: 00:15:44

it. Yes, I know it's on. But that's actually when I

Jane Stark: 00:15:48

haven't done and I have both the book and the journal for the

Jane Stark: 00:15:51

morning pages to go along with the artists way sitting in my

Jane Stark: 00:15:54

office. And I keep I had

Jen Lang: 00:15:57

the book for years before I actually opened it. So

Jen Lang: 00:15:59

it's it's funny, like you buy the book and it sits there. But

Jen Lang: 00:16:02

it really it really is a life changing book. It will you know,

Jen Lang: 00:16:06

and for anybody who's who's looking for sort of a new

Jen Lang: 00:16:09

direction or new inspiration or something completely different

Jen Lang: 00:16:11

it is a very beautiful process. Anyway, so as that morning pages

Jen Lang: 00:16:18

experience grew and then I just started through the business

Jen Lang: 00:16:22

development journey business personal development journey, I

Jen Lang: 00:16:25

started to bring in more, you know, card practices or writing,

Jen Lang: 00:16:31

I always kept the angel card practice, but I would add to it.

Jen Lang: 00:16:35

Interestingly, I bought my first tarot deck when I was 16

Jane Stark: 00:16:40

is the town funny when we look back,

Jen Lang: 00:16:43

but I never really played with that much. And I

Jen Lang: 00:16:45

remember doing a reading for one of my sisters friends whom she

Jen Lang: 00:16:48

probably would have been like 12 or 13 at the time and she's

Jen Lang: 00:16:50

like, wow, this is so right. This is so right on and but I

Jen Lang: 00:16:53

never really pursued it. So I've always had those like tendencies

Jen Lang: 00:16:56

and leanings I've always been drawn to, I'm gonna say

Jen Lang: 00:17:00

witchcraft, Wiccan practices, and part of that is sort of my

Jen Lang: 00:17:04

Celtic I would say my Celtic, Celtic, Western European

Jen Lang: 00:17:07

heritage. But now I really now interestingly, just recently,

Jen Lang: 00:17:11

I've been diving into much more of a Celtic druidic witchcraft

Jen Lang: 00:17:16

practice. I've always been interested in herbs. So I

Jen Lang: 00:17:20

studied herbology, briefly herbalism with a friend of mine

Jen Lang: 00:17:27

for a summer, so a little bit of essential oils. So it's kind of

Jen Lang: 00:17:32

like my, my interest into health and healing has gone hand in

Jen Lang: 00:17:36

hand with my spiritual practice development. And now it's just

Jen Lang: 00:17:40

naturally grown and developed side by side. And so that, oh,

Jen Lang: 00:17:43

my ears are super ringing. Right now. That's one of my things

Jen Lang: 00:17:47

that that's one of my signals to myself that it's I'm talking

Jen Lang: 00:17:51

about the right things, and I'm on the right path. And that that

Jen Lang: 00:17:53

is where my expansion and growth lies. Yeah.

Jane Stark: 00:17:57

Do you think so? It's interesting because both of

Jane Stark: 00:17:59

us came to this journey. Like you said, your interest in

Jane Stark: 00:18:03

health your and nature and herbs, and that kind of thing,

Jane Stark: 00:18:07

is what brought you to it for me, it was my health journey,

Jane Stark: 00:18:10

and my, just my, this deeper drive to heal myself physically,

Jane Stark: 00:18:17

which then moved into like a sale, the other layers, but

Jane Stark: 00:18:19

there was just this, for me there was this constant, there's

Jane Stark: 00:18:21

gotta be there's something more here. There's something more

Jane Stark: 00:18:23

here. I couldn't accept just that I was going to live in

Jane Stark: 00:18:28

suffering.

Jen Lang: 00:18:29

Yes, totally.

Jane Stark: 00:18:31

So but I'm curious, like, you and I have had that

Jane Stark: 00:18:34

experience. And that's what's drawn us to this. But not

Jane Stark: 00:18:37

everyone has that experience, or not? Everyone needs to be

Jane Stark: 00:18:41

interested in herbology and essential oils and crystals. So

Jane Stark: 00:18:46

for people that like, you know, maybe you're like, yeah, that

Jane Stark: 00:18:48

doesn't light me up. I wonder, your exam. Like, I wonder what,

Jane Stark: 00:18:55

it's not that those people aren't spiritual or aren't

Jane Stark: 00:18:57

gifted or whatnot. It's, so what is it? And how do we? I think,

Jane Stark: 00:19:03

like, I guess, where I'm going, and even the thoughts that are

Jane Stark: 00:19:06

coming in is, you know, we talk and I think this is some of the

Jane Stark: 00:19:10

piece I'm really just riffing right now, this is just kind of

Jane Stark: 00:19:13

dropping in and I'm trying to process it as it comes out. But

Jane Stark: 00:19:18

you know, this idea that spirituality like I say, looks a

Jane Stark: 00:19:21

certain way, or what mainstream spirituality is and and there's

Jane Stark: 00:19:24

these people, there's these people, this group of us that

Jane Stark: 00:19:28

are really drawn to these things. Yeah. And yet I look in

Jane Stark: 00:19:32

it's like, like I say, like nature, finding the beauty in

Jane Stark: 00:19:35

the ordinary moments. Like all of these things that we all can

Jane Stark: 00:19:40

do. And I just wonder, we're so I mean, we know this that as a

Jane Stark: 00:19:43

culture we're so separated right now from from each other, but

Jane Stark: 00:19:50

also from mother nature from totally we're on our screens.

Jane Stark: 00:19:54

We're not outside experiencing where we're rushing through our

Jane Stark: 00:19:57

days, not slowing down to actually admire the bird in the

Jane Stark: 00:20:01

tree or listen to the sounds of the birds or things like that.

Jane Stark: 00:20:04

And I think, at its root, that's all we're talking about here,

Jane Stark: 00:20:09

like we're talking about. I think that's an awareness. And

Jen Lang: 00:20:15

I think that's, that's where that awareness. That's

Jen Lang: 00:20:18

where the fear serenity, peace comes in, though, for people who

Jen Lang: 00:20:21

are wanting something more who know that there's something

Jen Lang: 00:20:23

more, but they don't necessarily know what, you know, they think

Jen Lang: 00:20:27

they need to buy a crystal to feel better, and maybe a crystal

Jen Lang: 00:20:30

does make them feel better. But what if it was just as simple as

Jen Lang: 00:20:33

observing the birdsong on your morning walk? Yeah, that's gonna

Jen Lang: 00:20:37

make it

Jane Stark: 00:20:38

and this is the thing, this is the part that

Jane Stark: 00:20:39

gets me fired up to is this capitalism? Yes, duality, right?

Jane Stark: 00:20:44

Yes. And I think, and we're seeing this bubble up right now

Jane Stark: 00:20:47

to you. You brought up a post to my attention yesterday, on

Jane Stark: 00:20:52

Facebook, from somebody who's starting to kind of call out

Jane Stark: 00:20:55

some of these the oversimplification, I think we

Jane Stark: 00:20:59

would say,

Jen Lang: 00:20:59

of these tropes, or simplifying these spiritual

Jen Lang: 00:21:03

tropes in the broader, wider world.

Jane Stark: 00:21:08

And it doesn't, it doesn't make sense when you do

Jane Stark: 00:21:10

that it doesn't hurting

Jen Lang: 00:21:11

people, then Safley re, like an essay, dramatizing

Jen Lang: 00:21:16

them or hurting them or, you know, and it's becomes very

Jen Lang: 00:21:20

surface level, instead of actually, then people want to

Jen Lang: 00:21:23

bypass the actual work because they're like, Oh, I'm doing the

Jen Lang: 00:21:25

things like I'm doing all the practices, this is something we

Jen Lang: 00:21:27

talked about before, as well, is like you do all the practices

Jen Lang: 00:21:30

and you still feel like crap,

Jane Stark: 00:21:32

or because the oil and the crystal and the whatever

Jane Stark: 00:21:35

are not the thing that are going to actually help, like, they're

Jane Stark: 00:21:38

not going to magically make your suffering disappear or heal you

Jane Stark: 00:21:42

or whatnot. And that's the piece I think they might be the tool

Jane Stark: 00:21:47

in. So for me, definitely, it was a bit of a tool in Yeah, it

Jane Stark: 00:21:54

did not I, I have, I'm surrounded by essential oils,

Jane Stark: 00:21:58

they're not going to heal me. Like, let's be honest, but they

Jane Stark: 00:22:01

are my they are some of my tools into doing that deeper work. And

Jane Stark: 00:22:07

I was very open to doing it. I think, as you were talking about

Jane Stark: 00:22:11

some of your like for you, it really opened up when you

Jane Stark: 00:22:14

started to do your Reiki training. One of the things that

Jane Stark: 00:22:16

kind of popped in I was I was thinking how thinking like When

Jane Stark: 00:22:19

did mine like can I think of a time in my life when all of a

Jane Stark: 00:22:23

sudden the switch flipped? And one of I can't pinpoint the

Jane Stark: 00:22:27

exact time but years ago when I started working with my

Jane Stark: 00:22:29

Hypnotherapist. Yeah, that was a big one. And so I was open to

Jane Stark: 00:22:34

doing that work. But it was all of the pre stuff. But I guess

Jane Stark: 00:22:38

where I'm going is Yeah. When we look at this whole, capitalistic

Jane Stark: 00:22:44

world we have and how, again, spirituality has become this

Jane Stark: 00:22:48

thing that we can sell people, whether modified? Yeah, whether

Jane Stark: 00:22:52

it's through coaching, whether it's healing, whether it's

Jane Stark: 00:22:55

through crystals and journals and all the things like

Jen Lang: 00:23:00

so where do you think the fierce serenity is for the

Jen Lang: 00:23:04

practitioners, the coaches, and the sellers fees are of these?

Jane Stark: 00:23:14

So why do I think the spiritual sorry, the fear

Jane Stark: 00:23:16

surrender, the

Jen Lang: 00:23:16

fear of serenity is for them?

Jane Stark: 00:23:19

Well, let's put that back on us. Right, like salute.

Jane Stark: 00:23:22

We are in this space. We coach and we heal. We actually don't

Jane Stark: 00:23:27

heal people. We support people in doing their own

Jane Stark: 00:23:32

transformation and healing. But I think this is the work that

Jane Stark: 00:23:36

we're doing. We're like, not being it's the fragility, right,

Jane Stark: 00:23:40

like, Yeah, we actually are willing to turn the mirror and

Jane Stark: 00:23:42

look at ourselves and go, Oh, II Yeah. Where are we contributing

Jane Stark: 00:23:46

to this narrative? How are we perpetuating this? And is that

Jane Stark: 00:23:50

how we want to operate? And I think that's something that you

Jane Stark: 00:23:52

and I do we still not a lot, it's absolutely still unfolding.

Jane Stark: 00:23:57

And have we bought into some of these things. And have we

Jane Stark: 00:24:00

perpetuated? Yeah, I absolutely have. And this is part of my

Jane Stark: 00:24:06

integrity on this journey is to continue to look at this and to

Jane Stark: 00:24:09

continue to be able to question that and go, okay, like, Where

Jane Stark: 00:24:15

can I do better? How can I do better? And I think that is so

Jane Stark: 00:24:19

yeah, for for me, and I think for other practitioners, like

Jane Stark: 00:24:22

you were saying that is the fear of serenity, it's being willing

Jane Stark: 00:24:24

and able to look at where have we maybe been?

Jen Lang: 00:24:30

Where wherever you really bought into and where do

Jen Lang: 00:24:32

we still contribute to and perpetuate old paradigms or

Jen Lang: 00:24:40

around this work? Yeah. And then also, like you said, being

Jen Lang: 00:24:44

willing to turn the mirror on ourselves, on our practices on

Jen Lang: 00:24:48

our on what we offer, and go How can this be better? Or how can

Jen Lang: 00:24:53

this be more approachable or what needs to go? Ultimately,

Jen Lang: 00:24:59

we're still off operate within a capitalist system? But how can

Jen Lang: 00:25:03

we? How can we sort of have our own subversion of that, and yet

Jen Lang: 00:25:12

still, you know, feed our families and contribute to our

Jen Lang: 00:25:16

households? Yeah. And

Jane Stark: 00:25:17

I mean, I end the work we do change his lives.

Jane Stark: 00:25:22

Yes, exactly. So we're, you know, being in service, I think.

Jane Stark: 00:25:24

And that's, I guess that's the other piece, right is if we are

Jane Stark: 00:25:29

being in service in integrity to ourselves. That's why we're here

Jane Stark: 00:25:34

doing this. Yes. We all need to pay the bills, we all need to

Jane Stark: 00:25:37

feed our families, we are worthy of getting paid for using for,

Jane Stark: 00:25:43

you know, being able to offer what we do. But the minute it

Jane Stark: 00:25:48

becomes about the money, yes. We've lost the planet,

Jen Lang: 00:25:52

only about the money. Yes. Because I'm not sure what

Jen Lang: 00:25:56

your experience is. But whenever I work with a client, I grow as

Jen Lang: 00:26:03

well. Absolutely. And it's yes, it's, you know, but it's easy to

Jen Lang: 00:26:07

say that, but I reflect on every single conversation I have with

Jen Lang: 00:26:11

my clients afterwards, and the ones we see together. And it's

Jen Lang: 00:26:15

so it's such a beautiful girls process and expanded expansive

Jen Lang: 00:26:20

process for all of us. And that's where there's such a

Jen Lang: 00:26:24

beautiful exchange, I think, as well, it's not just about the

Jen Lang: 00:26:27

money, it's about bringing, guiding, and being a part of a

Jen Lang: 00:26:33

person's journey to their fullest potential, including our

Jen Lang: 00:26:36

own. Yeah, because if we didn't do that, then we would still be,

Jen Lang: 00:26:41

we still would be playing in that same thing, like I perfect

Jen Lang: 00:26:44

real life example. So I went back to karate last night to

Jen Lang: 00:26:47

teach and help with a grading. And I haven't put my GI on,

Jen Lang: 00:26:50

excuse me, I haven't been to karate since October. So it was

Jen Lang: 00:26:53

definitely, like, familiar. And yet, I knew my body would feel a

Jen Lang: 00:26:59

little sore today, and I got home and I had a foot bath last

Jen Lang: 00:27:02

night. But I was reflecting on the dog walk this morning, I was

Jen Lang: 00:27:05

like, Oh, my body feels more alive. And being in that

Jen Lang: 00:27:09

activity in that action. You know, it was a kids class. So it

Jen Lang: 00:27:13

wasn't tremendously strenuous for me, but I was still

Jen Lang: 00:27:15

demonstrating things and still helping with technique and the,

Jen Lang: 00:27:19

you know, still coaching on the yelling, and you know, those

Jen Lang: 00:27:22

kinds of pieces. And at the same time, it was such a beautiful

Jen Lang: 00:27:27

realization for me that, okay, this is what karate gives me.

Jen Lang: 00:27:31

And this is where the growth is for me, in terms of taking that

Jen Lang: 00:27:35

physical action. So as I take physical action, in the force or

Jen Lang: 00:27:40

action in the physical world, then that brings everything else

Jen Lang: 00:27:45

along with it.

Jane Stark: 00:27:47

Yeah, and I mean, it's that constantly shifting

Jane Stark: 00:27:50

energy to right, it allows you it allows the flow of, of

Jane Stark: 00:27:54

energy, and it's that constant learning that constant growth,

Jane Stark: 00:27:59

like you say,

Jen Lang: 00:28:00

Yes, and what I'm saying here, too, is that the

Jen Lang: 00:28:02

physical practice, physical spiritual practice, or the

Jen Lang: 00:28:05

spiritual physical practice, meaning, like whether it's you

Jen Lang: 00:28:09

use cards, or you do some journaling, the physical act of

Jen Lang: 00:28:13

working with spirit is what's going to bring you on the

Jen Lang: 00:28:16

journey to bigger expansion. Even if it feels a little bit at

Jen Lang: 00:28:21

first, like you're going through the motions, one day you will

Jen Lang: 00:28:24

find a level or something will happen or something will shift

Jen Lang: 00:28:27

or something will drop in. And it's, if it continues to feel

Jen Lang: 00:28:33

like you're just going through the actions, and there's

Jen Lang: 00:28:35

something underneath that, that wants to come forward that you

Jen Lang: 00:28:39

need to uncover and unpack. But that's where the bravery is. And

Jen Lang: 00:28:43

that's where the fierce serenity is to you being have to be

Jen Lang: 00:28:45

fierce enough first courage to dive into that thing. And then

Jen Lang: 00:28:51

that's the nugget of serenity that you'll find. Well, because,

Jane Stark: 00:28:55

yeah, I think it's definitely a practice of it's

Jane Stark: 00:28:59

vulnerable. Right? It's, it's really, truly being able to, to

Jane Stark: 00:29:04

look at ourselves in a different way and to be willing to, like

Jane Stark: 00:29:10

you say, die, like if it's feeling disconnected, what

Jane Stark: 00:29:13

what's there, it's being willing to excavate

Jen Lang: 00:29:17

and ask questions. You know, if you've had some, you

Jen Lang: 00:29:21

know, dreams, the dream space is such an interesting, you know,

Jen Lang: 00:29:25

and I personally have found my dreams have been gaining

Jen Lang: 00:29:28

intensity and detail over the past several years since I

Jen Lang: 00:29:31

started this spiritual practice. And for people who say to me,

Jen Lang: 00:29:35

Oh, I don't I never remember my dreams. And I'm like, we'll set

Jen Lang: 00:29:38

the intention to remember your dream and keep a journal beside

Jen Lang: 00:29:40

your bed and you'll start to remember your dreams. But the

Jen Lang: 00:29:43

physical act of putting the journal beside your bed in the

Jen Lang: 00:29:46

pan, that is the thing that will help you remember your dreams.

Jen Lang: 00:29:49

Yeah, that's a good example. Yeah. So many. Then you'll start

Jen Lang: 00:29:54

to the dream spaces where? What happens in your unconscious as

Jen Lang: 00:30:00

well as in I'm gonna say beyond your fit your day to day life

Jen Lang: 00:30:04

has a chance to process unfold. On there there is value in

Jen Lang: 00:30:10

making a note of that dream space.

Jane Stark: 00:30:13

Yeah, there's so many access points in, right.

Jane Stark: 00:30:16

Yeah. And again, if we come back to the simplification, one of

Jane Stark: 00:30:19

the other things that kind of spurred on this topic is I was

Jane Stark: 00:30:22

just, I just finished reading. It's an old book, but Sue Monk

Jane Stark: 00:30:26

Kidd wrote a book called The Dance of the Dissident Daughter,

Jane Stark: 00:30:30

which is her journey from Christianity to spirituality

Jane Stark: 00:30:34

slash sort of the sacred feminine, it's very much rooted

Jane Stark: 00:30:37

in her journey with the sacred feminine, but at the end of it,

Jane Stark: 00:30:40

I love what she says she breaks it down into sort of three

Jane Stark: 00:30:45

components. And she says, she calls it the spirituality of

Jane Stark: 00:30:47

naturalness. And she says, within that, a natural and

Jane Stark: 00:30:54

Feminine Spirituality tends to incorporate three very organic,

Jane Stark: 00:30:57

basic, but overlooked things into our sacred experience, the

Jane Stark: 00:31:01

earthly, the now and the ordinary. And she just breaks

Jane Stark: 00:31:05

those down right to the earthly, is like what we were talking

Jane Stark: 00:31:09

about, like our connection to nature, and actually feeling,

Jane Stark: 00:31:13

feeling into that though, like, you know, going and sitting by

Jane Stark: 00:31:16

the ocean, and listening to it, or feeling your feet in the sand

Jane Stark: 00:31:20

or putting your hand on the trunk of a tree, and starting to

Jane Stark: 00:31:23

like, really pay attention to what to the energy exchange and

Jane Stark: 00:31:27

flow there. And then the now, being in the moment, right, that

Jane Stark: 00:31:33

we hear so much like, oh, just be in the presence in the

Jane Stark: 00:31:36

present. But what does that actually mean? That was a big

Jane Stark: 00:31:38

one for me to unpack as well. And one of the quotes that she

Jane Stark: 00:31:43

that she quotes in her book is that you cannot step twice into

Jane Stark: 00:31:48

the same river for other waters are continually flowing on this

Jane Stark: 00:31:53

river is your life and it is different every moment. And I

Jane Stark: 00:31:55

love that. It's such a great quote, it's such a great quote

Jane Stark: 00:31:58

of being in the now and you just, every moment is different

Jane Stark: 00:32:02

and changing. And then the ordinary, like, all of these

Jane Stark: 00:32:04

things are things we've touched on, right, but the ordinary in

Jane Stark: 00:32:07

terms of just paying attention to how you go through a day, and

Jane Stark: 00:32:11

how

Jen Lang: 00:32:11

do you prepare your meal? Or how do you eat your

Jen Lang: 00:32:13

meal, that too, you know, where it's, I'm totally, I'm gonna say

Jen Lang: 00:32:18

guilty about because I don't really feel guilty about it. But

Jen Lang: 00:32:20

I have observed that when I prepare a meal, sometimes I'm in

Jen Lang: 00:32:24

a rush, and I'll chop the vegetables, I will put any

Jen Lang: 00:32:26

thought into it. And because I'm doing something else, or I'm got

Jen Lang: 00:32:29

three dishes on the go, and so I'm not really present with the

Jen Lang: 00:32:32

food, but I'm about to nourish my body with. But if I stopped

Jen Lang: 00:32:38

for a moment and really enjoy the process, and I actually love

Jen Lang: 00:32:41

preparing a meal, like I have a glass of wine, while I prepare

Jen Lang: 00:32:46

like a weekend meal. And, you know, I take care and preparing

Jen Lang: 00:32:50

the vegetables or putting a salad together, or making a soup

Jen Lang: 00:32:54

or a stew like I love making winter soups and stews, so all

Jen Lang: 00:32:57

of the elements that go into those into those foods. That's

Jen Lang: 00:33:03

the that's the now that's the that's the mundane, yeah, that's

Jen Lang: 00:33:07

where the origin is, is in the ordinary?

Jane Stark: 00:33:10

Exactly. Yeah, noticing where the light shines

Jane Stark: 00:33:13

in your window and the same space every day, or? Yeah, just

Jane Stark: 00:33:18

even I remember. I think it was another coach who I've worked

Jane Stark: 00:33:22

with in the past. Catherine Roscoe bar, she talks about

Jane Stark: 00:33:25

finding the pleasure in the ordinary, and I'll never forget

Jane Stark: 00:33:28

where she's like, you know, I'll do the dishes. And I'll put

Jane Stark: 00:33:31

music on like, yeah, and I'll just actually notice, like, my

Jane Stark: 00:33:36

hands in the water, cleaning the dishes, like, you know, we're

Jane Stark: 00:33:39

things that we kind of go, Oh, God, I gotta do the dishes or

Jane Stark: 00:33:42

like, the, you know, we've we've become so like, A, that's just a

Jane Stark: 00:33:47

task and it feels gross and good to debt to debt. But if we

Jane Stark: 00:33:51

actually slow down, and we're just like, hey, I'm here in the

Jane Stark: 00:33:55

moment, my hands are in warm, soapy water, you know, put some

Jane Stark: 00:33:59

music on. Maybe it's a space to just be like, Hey, I'm actually

Jane Stark: 00:34:03

just like, a lot of times, sometimes most of my best

Jane Stark: 00:34:06

thinking comes when I'm just at the sink, doing the dishes. And

Jane Stark: 00:34:09

that's that that's the ordinary, it's the everyday things. But

Jane Stark: 00:34:13

when we start to be able to do those things with awareness and

Jane Stark: 00:34:16

feeling into our body and just slowing down and doing them,

Jane Stark: 00:34:19

they shift.

Jen Lang: 00:34:21

Yeah, rather than getting through them. Exactly.

Jen Lang: 00:34:24

Which, you know, that's totally different in a lot of my life,

Jen Lang: 00:34:26

that I used to live a lot of my life getting, I just have to get

Jen Lang: 00:34:29

through this, I just had to move through this. I have to I just

Jen Lang: 00:34:31

have to get here. And you can even probably hear the energy of

Jen Lang: 00:34:35

that phrase in my voice and the way I'm speaking. So if if you

Jen Lang: 00:34:39

are catching yourself, in that I just have to get through this

Jen Lang: 00:34:43

mindset or way of being then I think I encourage you to look at

Jen Lang: 00:34:51

a way of being more present in the now and start with the

Jen Lang: 00:34:55

sensations of how something feels. So if it's if you're

Jen Lang: 00:35:01

Walking the dog or outside walking, how does the air smell?

Jen Lang: 00:35:05

Or maybe you don't, maybe you got allergies and so you can't

Jen Lang: 00:35:08

enjoy the air. But maybe you can, you know, touch a tree as

Jen Lang: 00:35:12

you walk past or notice the roughness of the bark and start

Jen Lang: 00:35:16

to notice the natural world around you. And I think that is

Jen Lang: 00:35:19

a really lovely way to start to step into a spiritual practice.

Jen Lang: 00:35:25

That isn't a prescribed,

Unknown: 00:35:29

yeah. Whoo, whoo.

Jen Lang: 00:35:32

Meditate with your crystals type of spiritual

Jen Lang: 00:35:34

practice. Yeah, that might feel uncomfortable for you. So then

Jen Lang: 00:35:40

start with what's start finding the spiritual in the familiar

Jen Lang: 00:35:43

and the now.

Jane Stark: 00:35:46

Yeah, and expand it.

Jen Lang: 00:35:48

The shower,

Unknown: 00:35:50

washing your hands water, right. Yeah, water is so

Unknown: 00:35:53

good. Like, definitely. So good.

Jane Stark: 00:35:57

I know, for me, my my challenge is, I still noticed

Jane Stark: 00:36:00

that I love to do a lot of those things with something in my

Jane Stark: 00:36:03

ears. Often now podcasts because that's that want for perpetual

Jane Stark: 00:36:07

learning and growth and whatnot. And it's actually a challenge

Jane Stark: 00:36:12

for me to have a bath without being like, Oh, listen to a

Jane Stark: 00:36:15

podcast, we'll catch up on this. We're going for a walk. And so

Jane Stark: 00:36:18

that's one of my things where I'm sort of thinking, Okay, what

Jane Stark: 00:36:22

if I started walking the dog with nothing in my ears? So I

Jane Stark: 00:36:25

could just actually be more present and notice what's

Jane Stark: 00:36:29

happening, or what if I just sat in the bathroom was with myself.

Jane Stark: 00:36:32

A lot of it is really just about being able to be with ourselves.

Jane Stark: 00:36:36

And for many of us, myself included, that was really,

Jane Stark: 00:36:41

really hard. I believe now I've I've moved through that. And I

Jane Stark: 00:36:45

actually love being with myself. But even still, like I just

Jane Stark: 00:36:48

shared how I also love to put these things in my ears. And

Jane Stark: 00:36:51

that's still a distraction from being with myself.

Jen Lang: 00:36:55

Yeah, so like to eat and read a book or eaten. Yeah,

Jen Lang: 00:36:58

watch a snippet of a show. But the other day, I was like, Okay,

Jen Lang: 00:37:01

well, what if I were to eat and not watch, watch or listen or

Jen Lang: 00:37:04

read anything? And

Jane Stark: 00:37:07

it's actually pretty hard in our candidate. Yeah.

Jane Stark: 00:37:11

Yeah. So again, sometimes I do it driving, I actually find I'll

Jane Stark: 00:37:15

consciously sometimes I find that actually a place where I've

Jane Stark: 00:37:19

started to turn off. Because again, I love listening to a

Jane Stark: 00:37:22

podcast or something. But I've started to make the conscious

Jane Stark: 00:37:24

effort of what if I just put nothing on and I just

Jen Lang: 00:37:26

dropped off? Yeah, that's a nice feeling. I do that

Jen Lang: 00:37:29

sometimes. I think we've covered most of it. This is kind of like

Jen Lang: 00:37:33

fear serenity in the spiritual body. It's like as multiple

Jen Lang: 00:37:36

spiritual practice kind of guidance, ideas drop into

Jen Lang: 00:37:43

whatever feels easy for you to start with. If you don't

Jen Lang: 00:37:47

currently have a spiritual practice Janie's Got one more

Jen Lang: 00:37:49

than

Jane Stark: 00:37:49

just one more thing that's just dropped in here is

Jane Stark: 00:37:51

play. Oh, yeah. It's like, it's, it's fun once you kind of, and

Jane Stark: 00:37:57

once you start to tap in, and you start to notice little

Jane Stark: 00:37:59

things, like, play in it, and don't, it doesn't have to be so

Jane Stark: 00:38:03

serious, totally something that I was taught through some of my

Jane Stark: 00:38:07

trainings as well, one of my teachers is very much about

Jane Stark: 00:38:10

that. She's like, just start playing with your intuition.

Jane Stark: 00:38:13

Just, you know, and it's okay to be wrong, like, but start to

Jane Stark: 00:38:18

like, play little games or notice things and, and it does,

Jane Stark: 00:38:21

it becomes like, Oh, that's fun. Like, you know, putting out

Jane Stark: 00:38:25

little asks, or just noticing when I'm like, huh, I gotta, I

Jane Stark: 00:38:31

gotta ledge on that. And then that happened. But again, so

Jane Stark: 00:38:34

often when we aren't aware, or we're not slowing down, we miss

Jane Stark: 00:38:38

all of those little right? It's just, it's right there in

Jen Lang: 00:38:42

front of us think it's hilarious that as you were

Jen Lang: 00:38:44

telling me that to play. I got hiccups. So yeah, I might have a

Jen Lang: 00:38:50

couple of hiccups before we wrap up here. But

Jane Stark: 00:38:53

yeah, that's funny. Well, I think we can wrap it

Jane Stark: 00:38:56

there that we can. That's kind of where they the wrap of our

Jane Stark: 00:39:00

fear serenity series of just kind of touching on these four

Jane Stark: 00:39:03

areas, we go into much more depth in our fear serenity

Jane Stark: 00:39:08

program, which is launching in September for our second cohort.

Jane Stark: 00:39:12

And that's actually where we facilitate the play, right,

Jane Stark: 00:39:16

where we take these concepts. And yeah, and give ourselves

Jane Stark: 00:39:20
