Transcripts
00:00:09 Nazish: Welcome to Inner Peace, Better Health, A Path of Healthy Mind by Avik Network. I am your host, Nazish, and this is a space where we explore connection between how we feel inside and how we live on the outside. Today I'm joined by Helen Flynn. The award winning author of The Color Wheel, published by published by the hay House, the founder of the Soul Discovery System and the creator of the people who explore their sense of purpose identity in a beautifully visual, intuitive way. Helen, I welcome you to the show.
00:00:47 Helen Ye Plehn: Thank you so much for having me today.
00:00:50 Nazish: Wonderful. So before we go ahead, listeners, some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice. Listeners should consult qualified professionals for medical conditions.
00:01:08 Nazish: So, Helen, before we proceed ahead, I'd love to ask you something before we get into the framework itself, the work. The work, the colors and the intuitive painting. The purpose mapping. It clearly comes from a very deep place in you. So was there a moment or maybe the season of life, when you knew that this was the work you were meant to share with the world?
00:01:39 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah. So it's in twenty eighteen when I had my Kundalini awakening. So in twenty eleven, it's when I began my personal self-discovery journey. Um, and after seven years of my daily meditation practice in twenty eighteen when I had my Kundalini awakening, it's when my third eye began wide open. So I'm able to tune in to see energies, soul aura colors around, uh, people living things like animals and plants as well as spirit guides in different forms. So that really changed, uh, the, the view of how I view the reality or the truth of the world. Um, and that's when I begin to channel this self-discovery system?
00:02:34 Nazish: Absolutely. There is always a beautiful personal experience. There is always a lived experience. This lead us to a beautiful discovery about ourselves.
00:02:44 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah, that's definitely true. Yeah.
00:02:48 Nazish: Yeah.
00:02:48 Helen Ye Plehn: And I would say that it's like a foundation of those seven years of me, uh, you know, meditation and also certifying crystal healing. Pick up my, um, you know, feng shui lineage with my father and grandmother as well as, uh, dive really deep into all different kinds of spiritual wisdom to understand the self we dig and, um, Western astrology in the gram. Jeannie keys, numerology, human design. I pretty much get certified in all of them. So it's like the really the study of the self and also meditation. It's like the key to receive any wisdom and connect the divine within. So all of these, you know, after seven years of doing that, that's kind of, you know, arrive at epiphany point of what I'm supposed to be doing. Yeah.
00:03:50 Nazish: Absolutely, I agree. So, you know, I am curious about something that might be on the minds of a few listeners as well right now. Like when we hear the word aura or soul color, there can be a reflex of skepticism or a feeling of like, this isn't for me, you know, because it sounds too mystical. So what do you think that skepticism is really about? Like, what would you gently say to someone who is standing in the edge of engaging with the world with this kind of work, but hasn't quite stepped into it yet?
00:04:22 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah, I would definitely say that if you trust the internet signal that's invisible. Why can't you trust the energy that's already within you? Now, the I think the main issue is because we are taught that we only trust by what we see, meaning physical eyes, right? So if we cannot see it, it must be not true. But however we use radio waves to listen to music, we use microwave to cook our food and we use the Wi-Fi. There was no connections to have internet, and we just don't trust that there is an energy. You know, with such a big body mass that there is no energy within us. That's an invisible. So that's, that's the basically the foundational myth of it. So if you, you know, just willing to be curious, I'm not saying that you have to trust it completely, but like, have an open mind, a curious mind to say that, okay, maybe there is some kind of energy out there. You know, that's invisible. But for most of us intuitive people that we can sense that energy that's within us. And aura is just that energy. That's all it is. What is that energy? It's the electromagnetic field around us. Even science scientists proven that that exists because our heart is magnetic and our brain is electrical. So that's how it powers the aura. So that's the energy powerhouse, you know, through our chakras and through the Asian traditional Asian wisdoms. You know, that there were the seven chakras, especially in India. It's where it originated, right? And if that's not true, it wouldn't be all over the tradition, you know, wisdom, tradition saying that there are the seven chakras or the seven energy centers that powers our physical being, because that's the energy that manifests to form. So I would say that if you feel like just a little bit of curious, you can, you know, dive a little bit deeper into it. And energy is just information that vibrates. So what does that mean? Um, you know, that's the coded information that tells your heart goes to the, you know, center left of your, of your cavity instead of, you know, in the, in your stomach. It tells where your, where your nose grows, right where your eyes grow. It won't go on your feet, for example. Right. So those are all just coded information. And your soul aura color is also the coded information about your soul. Uh, it tells me what are your gifts? What are your wounds and what are your lessons this lifetime? Would you want to know that coded information so that you you become a better driver of your own destiny?
00:07:34 Nazish: Absolutely. That is such a different perspective, and I appreciate it so much because I think most honest exploration of self tend to begin with a question rather than a conclusion. Definitely. Yeah. And it's good. We have these questions. We have this skepticism because it keeps on inviting us to know more.
00:07:57 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah. To be honest, if you ask me, um, you know, ten years ago, if I believe in angels and spirit guides, I would say they don't exist. Not until I like my third eye is open that I cannot deny it. Once you experience it, you cannot say they don't exist anymore. So, um, yeah, it's definitely a journey. And my journey began with those three questions of, you know, who am I? Why am I here? And how can I truly be happy?
00:08:30 Nazish: Yes, yes, I, I agree with you, and I believe that is what leads to this beautiful discovery and more belief about things that we never believed in. And, you know, I believe ultimately it all leads to this beautiful peace that we feel and this growth that we have.
00:08:49 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah, definitely. And, um, yeah, so basically, like after all this year of self-discovery and working with, um, you know, thousands of students and clients, this system is proven that it works because at a soul level, we are made of energy or make of light energy, rather. That's why the ancient sages call this path of enlightenment. Why is it called enlightenment? It's literally about embodying your light because at a soul level, at your essence. You are light and you are this soul aura color. Light is just, uh, you know, the aura color is basically light in different wavelengths because light in different wavelengths radiate different color. So that's, that's all that is. So even the, you know, even the ancient sages that walk the human path, we call this enlightenment. It's because they can see that at a soul level, we are light.
00:09:49 Nazish: Yes, I agree, that is such a beautiful explanation. And you know, what you seem to be inviting people into is exactly a conversation with themselves, rather than a set of answers handed them than handed to them.
00:10:05 Helen Ye Plehn: Yes, of course it's and also it's an evolution journey. It's not like a one and done. It's not like, okay, so today you're this or so or a color and this soul give archetype. As you're growing, as you're consciously healing your wounds and learning your lessons, you become a different version of yourself, and it's dynamic, meaning that you might have multiple soul gift archetypes or your soul aura color can shift. So it's not like a, you know, okay, so I'm born this, I'm forever this, that, then that's not the evolution map, right? So when you take the soul aura color quiz on my website, it's a free twenty question quiz. You can first identify, you know, what is your soul gift archetype? What is your current soul aura color or likely the soul aura color that you're born with? But for those of you who are on the spiritual journey, who have already, no matter your conscious or unconscious healing your soul wound, the born soul wound might not be your wound anymore. So your current version of yourself might have already evolved into a different version of yourself. So that way you can, you know, go back to this system. It's like choose your own adventure game. So it's like, okay, so if I heal this, um, you know, I become this. All right. So it's kind of like the general roadmap or guideline that you kind of know that, okay, you know, you can identify that I'm currently healing this or I'm currently working on this. So it's, it's like a, like a guidebook rather than, okay, so here, here's what you should do or here's what you should not do. It's, it's almost like you need to, you know, personally experience it. I offer you a set of toolbox. Okay. So once you identify. All right, so I have a blue aura layer wound or I have a throat chakra issue. So is it a physical symptom? Is it a mental symptom, emotional symptom or spiritual symptom? So I give you guidance in terms of that so you can identify okay, so here are the symptoms. All right. Here are set of two box. You know holistically. You can heal them. so you can experience it in different ways. But because of your. You know, so aura color is different. So you resonate with different methods of healing or embodying, right? So then you can experiment. Okay. It's that particular one sounds like promising or it sounds like resonating. So then I would try that, you know, you know, some people might like, you know, sound healing, some people might like Ayurveda, right? So it really depends on what your, your first, uh, attention. And that's your intuition telling you because we are all intuitive people, we are all intuitive souls. It's just this, uh, you know, modern society doesn't have a Harry Potter magical school. If we go to school for clear, clear, sentient clairvoyance, clear training, we are all psychics, to be honest, to begin with. Right? So that's, that's kind of the like it provides you a general roadmap, a general guide so that you are self-aware and you are conscious. That put you in a driver's seat rather than victimhood. Rather than why this has happened to me. Oh, you know what? Because you haven't recognized this pattern that you have this, you know, um, say a relationship issue that's related to your inner child wound or your heart chakra, right. So, but you haven't dealt with it yet. Now you can be aware of it. You face it, you know, now you're in the driver's seat rather than I'm a victim of it. And then you can just better manage it. Right? So that's all this system is about. It's just give you the wisdom and the understanding so that you can know more about yourself. And there is a saying by Lao Tzu, I coined it in my first page of my book. It's saying that knowing others is wise, but knowing yourself is enlightenment. Even you, that's it. You know you are here to really know yourself, accept yourself, heal yourself, and express the most authentic version of yourself.
00:14:20 Nazish: That is so beautifully put. I cannot say it more. You know, the way you mentioned it, to not victimize ourself and to, you know, stop questioning this. Why is this happening to me? I believe a lot of us do that. And with you clearing it off and with you saying it to us, it is going to land at home for a lot of our listeners today because this is not something I, I think it is a one or two people thing. It is a human thing in general. Whenever something. Yeah, whenever something bad happens, the first question is why me? Yeah, yeah.
00:14:56 Helen Ye Plehn: So this system is universal. It applies to pretty much every soul on the. Because that's what we make up of at the soul level. We make up of this seven rainbow layers of light. And if every single aura layer or every energy centers. It's clear, whole and balanced. There wouldn't be any issue. So it's because, you know, it's either one of the centers is out of balance. It's wounded, it's a little bit dim. And that's what we need to work on. And that's all that is. And the whole journey about, you know, healing and embodying our gift is about, you know, making all the aura layers shiny as it as it is. So we become mostly white light or golden light, you know, that's what Jesus Christ and Buddha had walked the human path and achieved. That's what's the path of enlightenment. And they keep saying enlightenment is because we are light at the soul level. So if we understand that, if we look at things at this way, then we understand, okay, we're just light. We just need to work on, you know, pretty much like the aura layers of it. And once I am, you know, Polish, you know, like I'm radiant and magnetic. I don't need to worry about bad things happen to me anymore. So, you know, this perspective really help us to get out of that victimhood and start to claim what is strong, what is our gifts, and start using that to be of service and starting to heal our wounds as if it is just part of ourselves. Like you, you want the yin and the yang must exist, right? It's like they coexist. You cannot just have the happiness and never experience sadness. By the way, if you never experience sadness, there is no happiness. You wouldn't know what is happiness to begin with, right? So you just need to accept both part of the puzzle and just deal with it. And that's, that's a beautiful thing because then you don't need to because every soul has their own assignment. Don't think that this happens to you and then it will happen to another person. Maybe he or she is suffering from something else. And that's their unique blueprint, you see. So it's like we we're all here, otherwise we're not human anymore.
00:17:19 Nazish: Absolutely. So, so beautifully said. And, you know, it is something that is so true. Just just the way you put it. It is it feels true. I want to ask you one more thing. Like, you know, I love to bring this into everyday life for a moment. For someone who goes through the process of exploring their soul or a color, what tends to shift in them, like on a day to day basis?
00:17:44 Helen Ye Plehn: Oh yeah. So huge things. Um, so I have, you know, I have students coming for, you know, um, buster imposter syndrome because they don't know their soul gift archetype and they're afraid to claiming it. So I would say that both from healing and manifestation, both, both ways, right? One is, um, you know, um, like I use one, that example that I literally just use this system to heal my mom's first stage liver cancer. Um, it happens literally last year in December, so it's still fresh in my mind. So if you, um, think of, think of every symptom that you experience in this energy form, you know that liver resides in the solar plexus chakra. So it's a yellow aura layer wound, right? Energetically. So when that happens, you know, I go back to, um, you know, her soul aura color, basically she has a soul wound in the yellow aura layer. And that's the extreme form in a physical symptom. So if you use the toolbox to heal your yellow aura layer, right? Uh, in terms of diet, you know what you eat, you know, the frequency music, what you put, what you hear as well as, you know, the crystals, you know, inside room feng shui and everything, like use different, um, holistic healing energies. Right. And I connect with their guides and understand that that particular, um, wound is because, uh, she has a lot of anger and resentment towards her parents. Like she hasn't released that yet. So forgiveness is the requirement, right? Whether she can, you know, forgive or not. So I just had, I just relayed that particular message to her. It's for her. Like, I cannot interfere with her free will to choose to heal it or not. She, she decided to, um, you know, forgive her parents the day before, a surgical procedure called the Y-90 procedure is basically to zap the cancer cell at the early stage. And before she goes into the room, she she had bowed down on her knees and pray. And I already see, like Clairvoyantly, that the light, you know, it's coming back to her. And that's a huge thing. Like it's a huge ancestral trauma, basically. That's like inside of her that gets lifted. Now, that's from a healing standpoint, not from a manifestation standpoint. People who have stuck, as I mentioned, the bastard imposter syndrome students come to my course, you know, stuck in a government job, but she was born with an artist. So gift archetype, it's like, you know, in, in a government job, she will never be happy. She's not happy, not fulfilled. She come to me and saying that, Helen, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I don't know, I'm not any good at anything. But she discovered that she's an artist, so gift archetype. She really loved to dance and sing and paint. And I'm like, you're not doing what you're supposed to do. But what I was told, she keeps saying that, you know, if artist is going to starve, you know, I'm not going to make any money out of, you know, whatever because a government job is a stable paycheck. But then I'm like, okay, so you did the quiz. You understand? What is your energy now? She also has a yellow or a layer one. The manifestation. Instead of being physical manifestation, like my mom is being mental and emotional because she lacks of self confidence self esteem, right? She doesn't want to take that leap of faith. So it's the same. It's the same aura layer, one different form of manifestation. So then I guide her through, you know, a lot, as I mentioned, you know, the Enneagram human design, Western Vedic astrology, everything points to how she makes money is through her creativity, everything in fifth house. I'm like, if you're not doing this, you know, part of fortune is also there. If you're not doing this, you're not going to do yourself many good. And of course, right now she's a very successful dancer and, and artist. So it's like, okay, so now I have a thumb up. So I guess my spirit team is saying that, yeah, this this system is just this system is very dynamic. So it's like, because you have different manifestation of the energy form. Once you identify it and you use the toolbox, it's a set of toolbox. You know, everybody can try it out and you are going to find out, you know, how you can use that to either manifest your dreams or to heal anything that's in the way, the roadblocks to become the better version of yourself. I hope that helps.
00:22:39 Nazish: That that did help a lot. And that did clear a lot of misconceptions that people can have, have. And, you know, this conversation was really mind opening. So before we wrap up, I want to ask you, anyone who wants to explore your work, the aura color wheel, your book, your podcast, where is the best place they can find you and begin?
00:22:59 Helen Ye Plehn: Yeah. So everything I offer is on my website. Helen creates beauty dot com so you can find it there. And to begin your this work, the easiest thing is to take the Free Soul Oracle course on my website. Twenty question course five to seven minutes. You can get a reading. Then you can immediately know that whether you resonate with the reading or not, because I explain, you know which aura layer is your wound and what are the potential symptoms. So if you resonate with it, you know that this work is going to help you. So the next thing to do is to buy a copy of the book. It's like fifteen dollars USD. It's like nothing. Uh, so, so once you get the copy of the book, I give you three gifts. You get to join a private Facebook group, the Oracle will circle where I host monthly Q and A and live spirit message readings. So basically you're never going to do this alone in the group. Everyone is working on the system, you know, in different ways. So we share questions. We share progress. So that way you can experience it live. It's not like just like a theory. You read about it. Oh. That's great. No, it's a practice. Right? So that's why, you know, I offer this to my readers, as well as a free, personalized feng shui birth element and gua number reading. So that particular reading, you will receive your lucky feng shui directions for love, health, abundance, as well as spiritual growth. That way, you can have the energy around your home to support your soul's growth. And lastly, you get fifty dollars off the Rainbow Aura Meditation bundle. Now I, I become, you know, awakened through meditation. That's why I want to give the gift of meditation. So it's forty nine, originally composed of visual frequency music designed to raise the vibrational level of each aura layer. So seven chakras and seven guided meditations. So you just like put it as a background music. It's going to do something for you, right? So, um, those are the gifts for, for anybody who have purchased the book. And then if you want to do it deeper, I have a free masterclass online as well. You can just join anytime you pick a time and then you can watch the, you know, how to use this system on your daily life.
00:25:26 Nazish: Wonderful. That is like a wonderful package deal for my listeners. And I am so glad that you're providing them with such beautiful gifts and everything. And I believe it is going to help them a lot. So I will include all these details into the show notes so that a lot of people can join and learn more from you. Thank you so much for joining us. This was a genuinely beautiful conversation, and I think it is going to reach to people who need it the most. And if there is one thing, what I am carrying today from this conversation is that you don't have to understand yourself all at once. Sometimes it starts with a color, an image, a feeling you can't quite name. And that quiet beginning is already enough. So thank you so much for today.
00:26:09 Helen Ye Plehn: Thank you so much for having me.
00:26:11 Nazish: You're wonderful. And to everyone listening, if something stirred in you today, trust that you don't have to label it or explain it. Just let it be the beginning of something. This is inner peace, better health, part of healthy mind by our network. And if this episode touched you, share it with someone who also quietly looking. Until next time, be gentle with yourself.
