Transcripts

Speaker:

Hello and welcome to the Art of Life Podcast Season 2.

Speaker:

You guys, thank you so much for all the love that you've shared with me, all the

Speaker:

acknowledgement that I've received so far.

Speaker:

I know I did take a nice break after Season 1.

Speaker:

. My first season was a lot around just figuring myself out, really

Speaker:

being able to share with you honest stories so that you were able to have

Speaker:

practical tools to improve your life.

Speaker:

Then I wanted to take a little bit of time, work on myself and come back

Speaker:

to you with a far more evolved idea, evolved understanding, to really empower

Speaker:

and take your lives to the next level.

Speaker:

So I'm calling this theme of season two as stepping into your own power.

Speaker:

This is what I'm doing for myself.

Speaker:

And this is what I'd like you to do as you listen to this podcast as well.

Speaker:

At least that's where it should inspire you.

Speaker:

So what does stepping into your own power mean?

Speaker:

So stepping into your power, to me, it's really about cheering yourself on.

Speaker:

So there are lots of things that society just expects all of us to do.

Speaker:

It will expect that we grow up, we marry for example, we find some jobs

Speaker:

that are more paying for us and so on.

Speaker:

All of those things are ways to evolve and grow but there's a lot more

Speaker:

acknowledgement and acceptance of those ideas because they fit in the template,

Speaker:

they fit in the norm and whenever you want to do that a lot of people

Speaker:

are going to be accepting around you.

Speaker:

But then there are lots of times when you want to do something, when

Speaker:

there's some desire that's coming from your heart, and that time you

Speaker:

want to do something but it's not as accepted because it's not the norm.

Speaker:

It's not the template of the society.

Speaker:

So when you want to do something off script, that time if you can really bat

Speaker:

yourself and cheer for yourself, that I would say is stepping into your own power.

Speaker:

Whenever you are following something that is your heart or that is different

Speaker:

from the template, that's the time when you face a lot of external resistance.

Speaker:

Coupled with that, there is also doubts and fears that come from

Speaker:

you, probably stemming from your past lives and soul imprints.

Speaker:

So batting yourself then, that is truly stepping into your power.

Speaker:

The giving yourself the permission to dream, giving yourself your

Speaker:

permission to try that dream, that is stepping into your power.

Speaker:

Now why do I call it stepping into your power?

Speaker:

Let me explore the power bit first.

Speaker:

So first and foremost, you came on this earth as a spirit.

Speaker:

You had an agenda.

Speaker:

You have an agenda all throughout your lifetime.

Speaker:

Your agenda has multiple points of evolution for you.

Speaker:

There are relationship points for you that you're supposed to explore with

Speaker:

your friends, with your partner, with your mom and dad, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker:

Then there are maybe money goals that you are supposed to evolve on.

Speaker:

Like, how can you create?

Speaker:

How do you make more in this world that could be around money that

Speaker:

could be around having impact.

Speaker:

How do you do it within a corporation?

Speaker:

How do you do it within a business?

Speaker:

How do you do it on your own?

Speaker:

All of that can be your areas of evolution as well.

Speaker:

And then there would be, for example, other areas where you were supposed

Speaker:

to learn For some people that would be nutrition, for others that would

Speaker:

be health, for others that would be engineering, geology, archaeology,

Speaker:

there are so many avenues and so on.

Speaker:

And then along these lines, there are lots and lots of other bits and pieces as well.

Speaker:

It's your particular, soul, it's your particular evolution that the

Speaker:

soul's decided for you that forms your agenda, so to say, for this lifetime.

Speaker:

Now whenever you decide that, oh, I can't do this, for whatever reason, whether

Speaker:

you're backing out of your fear, whether somebody else is making you do that, and

Speaker:

you don't really do what you're supposed to do on earth in this incarnation because

Speaker:

your soul really needs to do that, so soul will just have another incarnation.

Speaker:

So you will basically repeat you will fulfill whatever you were

Speaker:

supposed to do in this lifetime.

Speaker:

You will just come back again and again to do that.

Speaker:

So if something is really calling you, something's really

Speaker:

pulling your heartstrings, that is what you are meant to do.

Speaker:

Whatever your heart wants, wherever your heart really aches, that stuff

Speaker:

that excites you, that ignites you from inside, that is your calling.

Speaker:

You are meant to do that.

Speaker:

That is your music.

Speaker:

That is what you're supposed to bring into this world.

Speaker:

There's so many elements that come together to help you for

Speaker:

your life purpose that is why it is stepping into your power.

Speaker:

If I talk around the elements, it is, of course, your soul.

Speaker:

Before your soul gets born, it also already has agreements with

Speaker:

other souls on earth, other entities even who will help you.

Speaker:

My journey on stepping into my own power has really been this whole

Speaker:

process of accepting and understanding what is it that I truly wanted.

Speaker:

You guys, the more and more that I did meditations and I taught them,

Speaker:

I realized that the tools were not just empowering me, they were also

Speaker:

empowering other students around me.

Speaker:

Everybody would come back.

Speaker:

They would have a very tangible change.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

they would really shift fundamental things in their life.

Speaker:

And I felt called to do it more and more.

Speaker:

So for me, the stepping into my own power has been letting go of my

Speaker:

stable job and putting all my energy into the Art of Life Center and

Speaker:

really focusing, believing in myself.

Speaker:

not just as a teacher, but also as a business person, also knowing

Speaker:

that I will be able to make my little impact in this world.

Speaker:

So as scary as that is also my place of power.

Speaker:

I think scared feelings or the fear a lot of you would be able to understand.

Speaker:

The fear is around, for example, not having, the stable income,

Speaker:

not knowing, hey, will things work, will things not work?

Speaker:

And so on.

Speaker:

And how I worked around that for myself is I started asking the

Speaker:

universe to show me little signs.

Speaker:

You know what I was telling you just a few minutes ago that we already

Speaker:

come with a whole complete system.

Speaker:

So I started asking.

Speaker:

the universe to show me signs of where things were working

Speaker:

to show me signs of support.

Speaker:

So one of the things as I was setting up my business, I had said that I really

Speaker:

want it to be a place of empowerment for me and for people around me.

Speaker:

So people that I teach, I really want to empower them fully with

Speaker:

the tools so that they are able to massively step up their life.

Speaker:

And I also wanted to have that for myself that, hey, I don't

Speaker:

want to get stuck in a business.

Speaker:

I don't want to feel like I don't know what the next step is.

Speaker:

So I want to feel guided and so on.

Speaker:

And truly, it has been such a gift.

Speaker:

The minute I could let go of my own control, I see more and more

Speaker:

that the business and life is shaping out for me more and more.

Speaker:

. So in the beginning, as I was trying to define what my business

Speaker:

is now going to offer, I started taking a lot of pressure on me.

Speaker:

But when I could ease off and I could just ask the universe to show, Hey,

Speaker:

what is it you want me to do now?

Speaker:

I got the answer as two separate offerings.

Speaker:

One of the offering is a conscious parenting course, and the second

Speaker:

offering is my moon meditation circle, and they're just absolutely perfect.

Speaker:

It is not how I would have dreamt of them, how I would have written them

Speaker:

with my analytical mind, but the universe or source, however you call

Speaker:

it, is just such an amazing place.

Speaker:

So we all have two power sources.

Speaker:

The first power source is our own internal life force.

Speaker:

It is our own energy that we are born with and this is where we can

Speaker:

sometimes feel tired or fatigued if we don't have enough of it because

Speaker:

we've just drained a lot of it out.

Speaker:

The answer that I got for this one was to offer a conscious parenting

Speaker:

course where we look at our kids and we use them as a mirror to gauge how

Speaker:

we are, clean up our energy and heal ourselves to raise our kids better.

Speaker:

That's, that's a whole lot of words in one sentence, but.

Speaker:

If I could say it very plainly, it's a course around just healing yourself,

Speaker:

really letting your own energy flow a lot better, balancing yourself.

Speaker:

That course, it just came to me and it's really coming along beautifully.

Speaker:

The more I teach the course, I'm actually realizing as a teacher

Speaker:

as well, that there were wounds that I had not healed in me fully.

Speaker:

So for example, there was an abandonment wound that I've talked about in some of

Speaker:

my earlier podcasts, but I had healed it for myself at this lifetime level.

Speaker:

When I do the course, I see more and more of it in my past lives, and I've

Speaker:

been working on that and healing that.

Speaker:

So I'm getting back exactly what I wanted.

Speaker:

from the universe already.

Speaker:

I created a course because I wanted to do something which was heart centered.

Speaker:

I wanted to nourish people around me, so I created a heart centered,

Speaker:

conscious parenting course.

Speaker:

That's what people would relate to.

Speaker:

But I also started getting back a lot of growth for myself.

Speaker:

And I've got feedback from parents who told me that their relationship

Speaker:

with their kids has become a lot easier because of the course.

Speaker:

The other offering that I have is based around our second power source and that is

Speaker:

the celestial forces, the cosmic forces.

Speaker:

So I have a moon meditation circle and we will regularly run new moon

Speaker:

meditations and full moon meditations.

Speaker:

They're absolute fun.

Speaker:

And again, this is a whole process of rejuvenation for me as well.

Speaker:

As much as I teach my students what to do, there's a whole lot of growth that I

Speaker:

get from them as well, just watching them.

Speaker:

And I heal a lot more deeper layers as well.

Speaker:

So in this, for example, my students have talked about how they've

Speaker:

been able to speak a lot more, own up about their place a lot more.

Speaker:

And you see how that mirrors, like they're doing that.

Speaker:

And then I'm also doing it maybe in a different level and or in

Speaker:

a , wider capacity, let's say, but we're all doing it together.

Speaker:

We're all supporting it.

Speaker:

What I'm coming to is that when I was able to step into myself, when I was

Speaker:

able to step into my power, when I was able to back myself, the universe

Speaker:

had my back, the universe has my back.

Speaker:

In fact, a lot of visions, when I look at myself on this journey, and I don't know

Speaker:

what shape it will evolve to tomorrow, day after, because soul has its agenda.

Speaker:

There will be one lesson that will be ticked, and then I'll have the

Speaker:

next lesson, the next lessons, and who knows it will happen.

Speaker:

But I know this, that it I will continue evolving as long as

Speaker:

I continue on my life path.

Speaker:

It will all be okay because it is all already decided for me.

Speaker:

It's all already planned out the same way it is planned out for you.

Speaker:

So whatever you are scared of, whatever you feel like, Hey, I can't do this.

Speaker:

Please go ahead and do it even if it's a little bit at a time, even if it's

Speaker:

just baby steps, take the smallest step, give yourself permission.

Speaker:

And here's my little hack.

Speaker:

Before I could step into all of this, like the full go, what I started doing was I.

Speaker:

gave myself small periods of time.

Speaker:

So you don't have to go full gung ho on whatever you want to do.

Speaker:

But let's say you want to have more healthy boundaries.

Speaker:

You could just give yourself a month of having more healthy boundaries.

Speaker:

Go like, okay, for this month, I'm not going to say yes to

Speaker:

something that I don't want to.

Speaker:

Just try it out for a month.

Speaker:

It doesn't have to be a long time and then see what's the impact.

Speaker:

What you're doing is you are tricking your body.

Speaker:

to start feeling comfortable with a new change.

Speaker:

Your soul already has everything that you need for this life journey.

Speaker:

You are just integrating that in the body and allowing your body to have that.

Speaker:

This is also actually the really, really perfect time to start making a shift with

Speaker:

the New Moon in Leo, with the 8/8 portal.

Speaker:

This is just a very potent time for you to start stepping into your power.

Speaker:

So my good luck, my good wishes.

Speaker:

If you need any help, I do have the Moon Meditation Circle.

Speaker:

We have this new Moon Meditation on really stepping into your power, really

Speaker:

honing yourself, embracing yourself so that you can step up and you can do

Speaker:

that with a lot of grace, with a lot of authenticity and with a lot of ease.

Speaker:

Just DM me or reach out at Art of Life Centre.
