Transcripts

[:

But I feel that it's something that we need guided practice on because a lot of people are using this term, but not understanding the mechanics of it and misusing the term. So I am absolutely delighted to bring back Anna Isabelle, who is a manifestation teacher. So this is a process and like I said in my video, there are rules to how to do this.

If you follow those, you're much more successful. And she's also a hypnotherapist and an astrologer. And we did a brilliant podcast, didn't we, about astrology the world stage and all this kind of stuff, and you absolutely blew my mind. So thank you so much for coming on again and sharing your wisdom.

Oh, thank you for [:

And when you gain experience of something, you then become a teacher because you see this on many different levels, don't you? Because once you start teaching people, you start getting feedback about what's working, what the blocks are, how to overcome them, and your experience is absolutely phenomenal with that kind of plethora of knowledge that you have.

e mechanics of that come for [:

or discovering and learning. [:

And I am the, the for forever the three-year-old that says, mommy look what I found, doggy. I think I'm still that child that, and when I discover something and I start to immediately, because I'm excited, I start to immediately work with it and actually embody it by making it a part of my life.

It's not long before I start going, Hey look at this really works. And then. Of course, the way I channel that is through, doing workshops and teaching and also my one-to-one work with clients. I work one-to-one with the medium of astrology doing mediumship readings, but also as a, an analytical hypnotherapist.

And somehow everything comes [:

er the sun, because it's all [:

And also what I've realized is that

when I am learning about the workings of the mind, I'm learning about mind energy. This isn't just neuroscience, it's about consciousness. And then that takes me into my astrology hat and of course my medium ship. And it links in with the YouTube channel that I have, which is called In the Light Growing Your Soul, in which I interview people from all manner of spiritual angles and practices.

it's, I don't know that I've [:

t the magician on the stage. [:

And so it all. Everything is a piece of the puzzle maybe is what I'm saying is that this is a puzzle and everything is a piece so that as I discover different pieces of the puzzle, I start putting them together so that I can create some very fun workshops for everyone. I think that's beautifully put.

ing, it's like the vibration [:

And when you understand that this isn't a 3D world and that, I just, I, okay, I can pick up my mobile phone and put it down, but that's all the things that people think that this world is made of and it's not. And it's provably, so not so it's brilliant that you are coming together and sharing these teachings because we can create a much better world going forward.

And I remember talking to somebody who was very despondent and if this is you, this is a message for you. Very despondent, because they've got more guns than us, they've got more power than us, they've got more this, that and the other. It's that's 'cause you don't understand the nature of our reality that you say this, they have none of this, we have more power than them.

insight into what we can do [:

And honestly we don't mind either way. What we're more interested in is those people that take this stuff on board, give it a try and tell us your results because that is a completely different story, right? So tell us about your courses. We were just talking a little bit, starting off about the course that I did with you the module that I did with you, and I wonder if you could talk about that a little bit.

How we started off. So yes the first one is called Mind Magic, and it's, it is an introduction to the concept of what manifestation is and what holds us back. Why can't we just, click our heels three times and say a mantra and, Hey, Presto, there's a Porsche, or whatever it is we want in front of us.

Why can't we do [:

t that unless you're a great [:

And I can tell you, I've been on that journey myself because growing up as a child, I was the possibly the only child in the school who hated art class. And the reason was because I didn't think I could do anything, and nobody explained to me that these things are a process and it's not a, creativity is not the skill.

ways of expressing yourself [:

Nobody explained that. I had to work that out for myself and then I discovered that I can't help but create. And I can't help but imagine. So it's, and that's true for every single one of us. Our imagination is our secret power. And it's secret because we a lot of us have to stumble upon it. Some are lucky, it's not so secret.

It's there, it's open. And they have people in their lives who nurture that and encourage that, whereas others don't. And it takes longer. So yes, we all have an imagination. And if you think, you don't, just think about when you're worried. What is it that you are actually doing when you're worried, you are imagining the outcome and you're using your imagination negatively.

And [:

If you see a vase falling off a shelf, odds are, in our experience, it's going to break. When it hits the floor, you can see it as it's falling. You can see it before it hits the floor. You know it's gonna happen. You make a mad dash to catch it, to prevent that from happening. You might succeed, you might not, or you might discover that there is this other possibility that you hadn't factored in.

[:

That's your imagination working too. So what is it that determines our propensity towards imagining a positive versus a negative outcome? So this is the difference between the optimist and the pessimist. And so how do we become optimistic or pessimistic? We will have a natural disposition towards one or the other.

Okay? That is something that [:

helplessness or hopelessness.[:

Or it could be you have an optimist that lands in a pessimistic family and gets exhausted from trying to lift everybody up and and gets to the point where, I don't know, is it real? Is it me? Am I imagining that things could be good? Because everybody else around me tells me the opposite. So our early upbringing is going to amplify those predispositions we already have, or is going to try to balance them up.

t part in this. Manifestation[:

is happening all the time, but it's based on what we believe rather than what we desire. It's not wish fulfillment, it's about the energy that we bring into a desire. You make a wish. Do you believe it's going to come true? Or do you even bother making a wish? Have you given up on making wishes? This is what we need to turn around.

o start thinking using their [:

And we need to see that link and understand. And by the way, this is not to blame anybody. This is not about blame. If you find that you're in a pattern that you can't, you haven't been able to break free from it's not your fault. It's not, we're not saying that, we're saying that we are just not.

er is doing things, is doing [:

But no, our subconscious is trying to protect us, and it does. So sometimes by a very creative risk assessment strategy. And really you're afraid of commitment because, for example, you're afraid of commitment and you. Because you've been very, you were very controlled early on in your life, but you're so craving love and you really want to be in a relationship, but you haven't realized that there's a conflict here.

they're committed elsewhere, [:

He really wants to feel loved, and, oh, what am I gonna do? Oh, look, okay, let's find the safe option. Let's allow somebody to come in for a short time. Okay, it'll hurt, but it won't be as bad as being controlled. That's the risk assessment. And meanwhile. You're beginning to feel like you are cursed because nobody, or that there's something wrong with you because you keep attracting people who won't commit to you.

o we can heal that and bring [:

That's so beautifully put, Anna. And that analogy of the backseat ludicy driver who's really looking after you as well is a really great example. And as you were saying it, I was thinking, is modern day psychology really the describing of who is your backstreet, your backseat driver and fine, you know what it is now.

kseat driver, AKA, your your [:

Exactly. It's well known that emotions drive everything. The coolest, coldest, most supposedly objective person is still being driven by the emotion. It's just that the emotion they're driven by is the fear of feeling. So that person that looks robotic is disconnected and operates in a way that is perhaps alien to most of us, is being driven by emotion.

our experience through which [:

And so what I'm really wanting people to understand from the point of view of both the, because I'm a psychological astrologist specifically, which means I'm using the birth chart to help people have a good mirror into themselves so that they can see what those drives emotional drives are, that account for the decisions that they make for better and for worse.

t we're, we are really clear [:

Although they worked physically incredibly hard and sometimes very long hours and this is, I'm talking about pre-industrial world here. The world was quieter and actually contemplation was encouraged as part of the culture. So in some respects it was easier for them. In others it was harder.

umors that's psychology too. [:

And they harnessed, they understood that there were energies at work in the world, which they harnessed through what we would see as magical means. So they would've had talismans, they would've had all sorts of objects, for luck or for whatever. And so there would've been a synergy of that energy coming in a different way.

We are speaking a different language because we're perceiving the world in a different way. And yes it's all there. And the more we understand who, what it is that's driving us and what serves us and what doesn't, and how we can be creatively working with it to reshape that into something that is.

ignment with the person that [:

tually focus and do the work.[:

Be beautifully put. I've got a question for you now and I know I've got my opinion on it, but the truth of movement, do you think that it has given us more backseat drivers to worry about and if you are not careful, limited your imagination about the possibilities of what we can create and manifest?

Yeah, I think

ow your village really well. [:

You've got shelter and people generally collaborate, okay? There's some petty stuff that goes on and you hear rumors, you hear the rumor of war, but that's in a far distant land and it's not got anything to do with you. And then that rumor of war just seems to be getting a bit closer and you're thinking, really?

town near you. And some are [:

And they don't come back. And now there's grief in your village, and that's before the war arrives on your doorstep. What do you think you're feeling? Some will have thought, I'll flee. Flee. And they have fled. Others will have stayed. And now they wake up to a reality that they did not ever dream of.

r the majority of people, in [:

The people in charge of you are no longer speaking your mother tongue and you are suddenly aware that the world that you believed was

reasonably benign no longer is, at least for the moment. And I think we have a very similar situation. It's obviously not as openly dramatic as that one because it's a different kind of invasion or warfare. We've been going along minding our own businesses, doing, what we can to survive and earn a living.

t expression? Earn a living. [:

Fairytales tell us that the good will be rewarded and the bad will be punished. But throughout our lives there's these little. Warning signs that the world isn't quite as we think, there's a snake in the Garden of Eden, but we can ignore that. We built walls around ourselves.

dy, everybody chatting. It's [:

Where do we get the space in our heads that go? Okay, just a minute. Actually, those are phantom cobras. They haven't actually become embodied yet. Maybe they are there, or maybe they're now somebody's imagining them because they're so afraid they can actually see them. So what we're having to navigate through this time is what's real and what isn't.

cted fear out there. We know [:

xtraordinary beings of light.[:

And no, we're not going to be rescued if we continue to look to for great leaders to lead us outta this.

We will be continually trapped and disillusioned is not the answer. Because what that is always doing is it's taking the power away from us, the power of creation and manifestation away from us because we are given the program to dream. And then this is why on one hand it's a nice thing 'cause it's better than the reality that people have woken up to, but it is not good enough.

. There is a bigger reality. [:

exclusively on that, we are. [:

And some people will say, and I've heard this many times, but if I stop looking, I'm not going to be ready. In other words, what they're saying is my survival is threatened. I need to keep an eye on the enemy at all times and not stop looking at them. Otherwise, something terrible might happen. No,

no. Listen, the horror movies have taught us this. If you are running away, if you look back, you'll definitely fall over. If you carry on looking at that exclusively, you are doing two things. You're doing more than two things. Number one, you're trapping yourself. In that world, there is no way out because.

rapped you're going to feel. [:

And everything that you do is being dictated because it is a reaction to that world. Now, to a certain extent that's the case for all of us because we, it's a natural process to be re to be, to react to something, to be inspired is also a reaction. If we act on inspiration, it's a reaction to that inspiration.

o the thing to do is to say, [:

ging with it and we're being [:

So we do need to know that but what we need to do is also at the same time,

e. Every molecule in my body [:

And everything that I do will continue to be driven by what I believe and by my desire to connect with others and with everything that I love. That's it. And the more of us do that, the stronger we are,

hat you've said. I feel that [:

There. There is no point telling people that, I don't know, council tax is being wasted and food is poisoned and all this kind of stuff. If you don't then provide a solution, and the thing is there are solutions being created because the people that have had the bandwidth in their minds to create them.

us amount of money in silver [:

But when the apocalypse comes, it's, okay, Jack, I'll have silver guys, what are you gonna buy with it? What? What do you do with it? Because we need the help. Now there are people, now we are setting up health hubs, educational legal hubs, alternative systems. They need people. It needs financing and you carrying your, I know people that are carrying silver around with a car.

rent endeavors to create new [:

And people are hoarding their money because they're like I wanna buy silver 'cause I wanna get something. They're still in this mindset. I spend something gonna get it back. Guys, we're in this together. Some of you guys spent all of your time learning about. Wealth and how to make it. Some of people have learned about health and how to create it.

Some people about legalities and how to create new systems. It all needs to work together. This is how we collaborate together, and just, there are people now into my mind just made so much money they should be going right? 'cause see all the good that people are doing, I'm gonna give some of my money not because it's gonna be my land together as this collective community to go and support these health hubs to carry on healing people.

ses on it to go and clean up [:

No one is coming. We are doing it. And what you're seeing on the world stage is the response to the collective consciousness. They're not doing, Trump did not release the Epstein files, the Epstein information. It was already released by the victims. It's already known. It's just the release bit has been a response to us.

s stuff and it needs people. [:

So guys, listen to this. Where are you? Where are you need help on locking that brain space because you're still in this kind of, it's okay, Jack. We need to listen to Anabel Fear and fear is understandable, but in order to create, we have to take action. We have to act in order to create. And what we want is we want to get our intentions very clear.

Our intentions can only be clear when we, as I've described clear in our conflict. So when we are fully in alignment with who we want to be and we have clear intentions that then taps into the source that's going to manifest the opportunities we then have to recognize those and. Act, build on them.

entions become clear and not [:

And so we all need to be patient with the myriad of different ways in which fear is palpably visible. Both the, both amongst those who refuse. To see the Cobra that's slithering towards them. I apologize to Cobra for using it as the bogeyman, but it is a symbol that is very recognizable to most people.

gize for casting you in this [:

For instance, somebody you love is showing symptoms of something and you're so scared that it's gonna be something serious that you want to pretend it's not happening. We all do this in very different ways. Fear is a part of us all. So we need to have compassion for those that we think are asleep, and we need to have compassion to those who are stuck in fear because they know what's going on and we need to have compassion for those in fear who don't know what's going on, but know something terrible is happening.

part of the elevation of our [:

It's also a decentralizing energy. But for all who are getting so excited, thinking everything's going to be okay because of Aquarius, everything has its shadow. And the shadow of Aquarius is tyranny because it is one group wanting to stifle the group of others. It's cancellation culture, which we've already got and want to move away from.

I say, that's also aquarium. [:

Intolerance. It's, that's just, it's like using double negatives. When you're learning grammar in school and they say, don't use double negatives because double negatives make a positive. It's something along those lines. It's ridiculous. True tolerance means taking a deep breath, being patient, understanding, walking away and allowing for diff for different views, but where there are two minds willing to work through differences, that is exciting because that's creativity.

And [:

It always will. And yes, we all have our moments when we get really frustrated and narky just, get a punch bag, do that, and then take a deep breath and go, okay, what was it they said? Is there a point? Is there anything valid in what I've just heard? Maybe I just don't like the packaging that it was given to me in, because often the packaging is not very nice, but there might be a grain that we can work with.

o awaken our inner diplomats [:

Choirs all around the world to do this every day. I absolutely love that, Anna. And I am seeing this in action, so congratulations everybody, because I think there's been a lot of growth in the last few years, and I'm particularly seeing it. This is when I noticed it, when it was a group of gentlemen who were conversing with the bailiff.

g every each other. Now this [:

And they're in this system where they have this, right? So shouting at them in at the same time until being horrible to them and everyone talking at once, you're not gonna change that mindset, right? You're gonna make them dig in more because now you've got an aggressive, bullies basically being ganged up on.

ey believe, that they're not [:

And waffle on about a few statutes and laws. And then, oh, that's okay. I believe you. Now, it's not gonna happen overnight, but what you can do is you can calmly and present yourself, present your energy and information in such a, that you are effective in your strategy for that day, which is sending them on the way.

And you've sow deceit. And I am starting to see this happening. People are not talking over each each other as much. The same with the pedophile hunters. They used to go and you. They are so brilliant in how their dialogue happens when they catch these predators. It is so compelling and you can see the impact it has on the person that they've caught, the impact that it's having on the courts and the police because of how they've presented that energy.

And [:

Do you wanna make a change? You wanna stop it from happening? Different strategy. Yeah, it's, I think the thing about fear is that fear breeds fear and that has been the weapon that's been used against us for it seems all time. And you make people afraid, then they're going to do what they're told.

It's a weapon of control. It's about dominance and power and the abuse of power. And if we want to move beyond that, we have to reclaim our power. And that's why we need to clean up our emotions and we need to understand what's going on in our subconscious that is not serving us anymore.

And yes, we are [:

Understand it and the more we understand what it is that puts us into a state of fear and how it links to us historically and can free ourselves from the historic, as I say, big and little traumas, the easier it becomes then to have a clear head and to be able to bring perspective to those moments when we were afraid or when we were angry.

use when we calm down and we [:

Speak very calmly. You notice I didn't say control or suppress. I said manage their fear. And it means that then they are able to stand their ground very firmly, very confidently. And what I've seen is that more times than not, the other person blinks. And when they blink, you know that you've won that moment.

t, I think I'm gonna back up [:

That they are right. Even as they are retreating into their cars. And it's very interesting because I wonder how many of them then go and look up what they've just been told. I suspect many of them won't because that will scare them too much because it will shake their position too much. And they'll just refer it to their supervisors or whatever.

yes, that is a good example. [:

What would you suggest, Anna? What's their next step? Let's take some action. If you're going to take action, you can. It just depends on where you're at. If you're at a point in your life where you feel like you are exasperated and frustrated with yourself because you have done a lot of work on yourself and I hear this from my clients a lot and you feel like you're not getting anywhere that means you need a bit of help and we all need some help sometimes.

a stage in your life where. [:

And listen to things that are going to open your mind. Connect with people who are very positive. That might be enough, but you also might still want to do some help. And, always doing workshops and having learning experiences where you meet people who are of a, like mind. Anything that opens your mind is a good thing.

thout properly understanding [:

And this is when things go wrong. And I've learned this through for many years in my career. Just that, because so many different outcomes that you can achieve, but you have to focus on the ones that you are looking for. Otherwise, if you just take the action, the action doesn't speak to that.

So I think it's a brilliant package you've put together. And it's a workshop, isn't it? It is. So yes, I have a series of workshops which I am running. I'm doing two of them this month and another one next month. So at the moment I've got a trio. The first one is about mind magic. So it's understanding your mind.

ust thinking of the order in [:

So the second one is called be the Hero Within. And really it's about finding how you can be the center of your picture. This is not about becoming selfish or self-centered, but it is about understanding what it is that you want out of your life. And so there are lots of exercises again that help you to have that.

That sense of personal discovery and empowerment, and even if you already feel like you've discovered yourself, that's fantastic. Let's strengthen that. So it's about strengthening always. And the third one, which I'm actually in the process of creating is we hear there's all these buzzwords aren't there?

y mean? So what can we do to [:

We need to understand the importance of. Doing that focus so that there's eye contact, that there's connection. Children know they sense whether you're connected or not. Your dog knows whether you're connected or not. You may be playing tug with him, but believe me, if your eyes are not focused on him, he knows you're not present.

ives, they will show you how [:

Just sit, observe, learn, and do what they do because they are totally plugged in to what's going on in the moment. And that's where our power is. It's in the now. It's not in the future. It's not in the past. It's in the now and it's. Surprisingly difficult for many people to do. People don't realize they're not in the now a lot.

So you did, you were, before we started, you were talking about, because you did the first one, which was mind magic, and there was an exercise in which getting, getting everyone to clear their minds. And it was quite funny because it got so complicated for some people.

but I'll put details at the [:

Yeah, so my, I have two websites and life astrologer.com and life hypnosis. Dot net life astrologer.com allows you to sign up to my newsletter, and it's also where I list all my events. So yes, so they're both there to give you information about the, some of the work that I do. But Life Astrologer is where all the events and the newsletter reside.

And highly recommended everybody. If you've never done anything like this before, time to set out, step outside your comfort zone and try and work out what's going who's in your backseat driving. 'cause that's what I wanna know, because they can, we can need to change their attitude, don't we?

ange those backseat drivers. [:

You, makes it very easy to understand. So even if it's your first time doing this, give it a go. Let's all get more powerful. Let's all get together. And thank you so much for being on the call and explaining and bringing your wisdom and knowledge, Anna. It's an honor. Thank you very much for having me.

Thank you everybody. And that was a Crystal Water Experience podcast. Please and share and subscribe and I look forward to seeing you next week for a new podcast with a new subject matter expert. So have a brilliant week and manifest what you want.
