Welcome to the Art of Life Podcast.

I'm Kanika.

My purpose with this podcast is to share tips on how you can start

creating a better life simply by playing with your imagination.

You can heal past pain and traumas, and you can create the high vibration life

that you wanted simply by being in a kid's space and just playing a little bit.

So let's dive straight in.

We will talk about healing your past , the steps to letting go and moving forward.

This comes on the back of my meditation and art therapy class, healing

your past that I just finished.

While I was teaching my students, I of course do the work for myself as well.

And my own past life pattern has been that I give way too much, and I keep

on giving, especially if I feel a relationship is just not working out.

It could be with anybody, could be with a friend, could be a significant

relationship with a partner as well.

So I was working on this and I was working why I have this pattern.

And turns out that I actually do this because there's just a deep

fear of loneliness that I have.

As I was doing this class, healing Your Past, this was my opportunity

to work through this whole trauma around just feeling scared, being

alone, and because of that fear, just trying to keep giving and giving.

So as I did the class, I healed some pictures.

I looked at these patterns for myself, and I definitely came

out feeling a lot lighter.

Just before the class, I was feeling a lot heavier about some of the

stuff that had been coming up.

That's sort of a natural thing with all of these classes as well, I would

say the pictures, the emotions, they start coming to surface because your

body just is ready and it knows, okay, we are releasing and letting go.

And then we had the class, and then after the class I felt perfectly okay

and even the emotions that were happening and where I was feeling charged and

a little bit on the edge, a little emotional, all of that went away and

suddenly it was like, mm-hmm, I've got it.

It's all good.

So great.

Now one of the questions that I got from the student was around how

can meditation heal past trauma?

This was just before we started the class.

To answer that, well, basically everything is energy, right?

So whether it's about healing your past, that's energy.

Whether it is maybe just healing a relationship, looking at a relationship,

creating a relationship, creating a job, creating a business or even letting go

of a business that's not working for you.

Anything, any, any space, anything is energy.

What you essentially do in a meditation space is you just

separate yourself from that energy.

When you separate, that allows you to see the energy for what it

is, and then you can clean it out.

I give an example of like a balcony and a dance floor.

Imagine there's a dance floor at the ground level, and when you are right in

it, then you've got people around you.

You've got all of this noise, so much is happening, you don't really know what

is happening in the whole room, right?

When you are in a meditative state, you can actually be up on top at the balcony.

And from the balcony you can see everybody.

You can see the guy who's not really dancing well.

You can see somebody who's making like really cool moves.

You can see somewhere how maybe some people are having too much to drink.

You can see, you can see the DJ playing his music.

You can really see the whole scene.

But because you can see the whole scene and you are detached from it, you can make

your mind around what's not serving you.

You can just decide because it is your body, it is your space.

You can decide, well, maybe I wanna change the music here.

You could change the music if you felt that those people who were

on the dance floor and they were causing a little bit of a ruckus.

With alcohol, if you decide you can let them go, cause you are

on the balcony, it is your space.

And maybe let's say you make up your mind and you go, oh,

I don't want the dance floor.

Like it's way too noisy.

It's so many people, I don't want them.

You can decide to let it all go and suddenly you can have a very

nice quiet place for yourself.

That's probably a simpler way of explaining what meditation

does and how it separates you.

Healing your past is working in the same way as well in a meditation class.

In the meditation class, you are looking at why you have past trauma and then

again you are seeing all the dance that plays out, why the dance plays

out, how the people are there, what is the other energy that's coming.

Maybe there are some negative beliefs or there's some social conditioning, some

past programming, you just see all of that from a distance and then you decide

that, oh, this doesn't work for me.

When I talk about my own self , I was trying to work on this, pattern for

myself where I keep giving and keep giving because I'm so scared at letting go.

That's exactly what I looked at.

I looked at why was I scared at letting go and what was the scene

going on in the dance floor?

And it's relatively simple.

Like in the meditation class, it doesn't have to be technical.

It's not technical.

We are not solving anything.

It's just pretty simple tools.

The first tool I use is called the grounding tool.

And if you wanted to have access to it, there is a free grounding

ebook that I have written, so I will put link in the show notes.

Otherwise just go to artoflifecenter.com/grounding

and you can get your free copy that explains you how to ground.

What grounding does, in the dance floor, all that chaos, all the noise, all

the extra people that are making you feel maybe a little bit claustrophobic

and you're not liking being around them, it takes all of that away.

It takes away all the beliefs.

There'll be stuff that you will know.

There will be stuff that you don't even know.

Grounding is just so amazing.

It just takes everything that is not serving you and just works brilliantly.

So that's the first step.

That's what I did with my own pictures around the fear of

letting go of fear of being alone.

And then the next thing that we do is we fill in, because once you

have cleaned the space, then it is the time to create your space.

In the dance floor that looked really busy, looked very jam-packed,

and looked as if everybody was on top of each other, very noisy.

We let all of that go.

Then we created a nice zen space, peaceful place, and

decorated it the way you want it.

In my space, I brought in a lot more laughter.

It's just playing with energy.

It's sort of playing with imagination, it's visualization meditation.

You visualize that this is what's happening.

I put in some good sparkles of laughter giggles, peace amusement.

That's always my favorite, and I put in freedom and I put in a lot

of self-love and unconditional love.

It's such a simple exercise.

Essentially that's what happened in the art therapy meditation class.

And then as I came out of the class, I was like, oh boy, I've released and I just

feel so much better and I can feel the energy shifted for me as well and where.

There's a situation going on, and suddenly I was just absolutely neutral

and I didn't need to react around that.

So it's super amazing that all of this can just happen with a one hour

of an art therapy meditation session.

So, well, whether it's my class or whether it's another meditation class that you

were doing, I strongly encourage you to have an intention for your session.

Anything that you wanna work towards, just do that in your meditation

practice and then just see the results and notice them for yourself.

Cool.

All right, the next question is, why does the pain go away with the meditation?

How does it work?

I understand this question because logically we sort of know

that, oh, the fear is not right.

This is not what you have to do.

It's okay, but it's sort of hard to come out of it and again and again, at

least in my life, I was operating from the same fear again and again and again.

What's really happening in the energetic space or in the spiritual

space is that we have pictures in our body and in our aura layers.

Pictures is how we store our memories.

Pictures is how we store our experiences and also attract more.

Sometimes a picture will have a negative charge.

Sometimes it will have a positive charge, like when you had a really fun time.

Sometimes maybe there were lifetimes that I had where I had been orphaned,

where I was completely alone and I just had those pictures, and then

they're really, really charged.

They've got that negative charge.

They've got that pull where, you know, more experiences like

that keep coming because it is a very strong negative charge.

It just attracts more negative things to it, and then that's why

for me, the fear was very real.

But when I ground, when I release, the Earth, gives it positive energy.

It neutralizes that charge and suddenly the charge and that picture is gone.

Whatever negative things it was gonna attract, that's gone because the

picture has now been neutralized.

, In a sense it was just that your awareness was required.

You just needed to step on the balcony, watch the dance floor,

and then just ground the noise out.

Ground out the stuff that was not serving you, that was not working for you.

It's just as simple as that.

The meditation class, it's really simple and fun and playful as well.

It sounds kind of serious, right?

Healing your past or other topics as well that I do every month.

Sometimes they have a very serious tone to them, and then that's the fun bit

because although it's very serious and very icky stuff that you deal with,

the whole meditation space is playful.

It's fun, it's filled with laughter because you are bringing in the vibration

of a little child, and you are acting from that playful and curious place.

You're stepping in on the balcony.

You're not really feeling the emotions, so you're having fun.

You're playing with colors.

You are letting art and colors and textures guide you and help you heal.

You don't have to see everything.

You don't have to feel everything.

You step from the dance floor to the balcony and look down at it and then

go, okay, this is all that I need to clean, and it starts getting cleaned.

It's very beautiful and amazing that this is all that you need to do in your

visualization meditation to be able to take such a huge step in your life.

Like for me if I'd done it a few years ago, whoa my life

would have been so different.

The tools are absolutely amazing, what you can get with them, the personal growth

that you can have and how you can really heal your life and create experiences

that you like, all of that is amazing.

And all you need to do for that is step into a meditation class.

Even with one meditation class, you notice things.

You notice a shift.

Cool.

All right.

Next question I was asked by another student as well, like I always shared a

lot of my stories and she wanted to know, well, can you share other examples of

other student stories as well, because it's really inspirational and she

wanted to see what happens with others.

I'll keep the privacy in there and I won't give any student names.

One of my students, as she was working through this, she recently got fired and

then right after that, on the weekend was this class around healing your past.

So she came in with that energy and carrying a lot of

baggage and feeling frustrated.

We did the class.

Then afterwards, I touched base with her.

She wrote to me and she said that what she realized in the class was that she

was feeling unworthy and she kept pushing.

That's what she saw in the class too, that that's what her pictures

told her when she was coloring that.

She just tried to keep pushing through.

There were pictures that she'd drawn of just hands, hands actually

pushing and that's what that picture or the sketching meant for her,

that she kept pushing through.

The class gave her awareness that she didn't need to push this hard.

She didn't need to push to belong.

She didn't need to push to feel worthy.

People who see her worth will realize that.

She was saying that the class helped her realize how even getting fired was a gift

that she could see that she wasn't really having a great time at her job anyway.

But she would keep going and then she would keep complaining about it to her

friends and partner, but she kept in it because that sort of seemed to be the way.

The firing was a gift because she did not need that abusive environment for herself.

And she definitely needed a place where she would be more loved.

So she came out with understanding about herself, understanding also why that

experience was there, and really with a lot of gratitude, which is such a gift.

On that there, there's lots of times where we think about an

experience, especially a traumatic experience, and we think, oh my God.

How can God do this to me?

Or how can the universe do this to me?

But I'd encourage you to ask a different question.

I encourage you to ask why is this happening with you?

And it's not in a negative way, but it's more like what is the lesson

that you need to learn from your past to be able to move forward?

Definitely in my own learning, in my own journey, I had to see why I

was having this pattern where I just kept giving, why I was doing it.

I had to see that pattern and then I could let it go.

And for the student as well, she had to realize that her pattern

was around unworthiness and pushing beyond that to feel worthy.

In that sense it is a gift because what your spirit is trying to show you, to

tell you is that, Hey, you know, you see this activity on the dance floor.

This is the pattern that you are doing.

Once you see it, it's almost your awareness and just your

looking that is asked for.

After that, it's just magical.

It goes away because that was all that your spirit needed to communicate.

You've done more than half the work at that stage, and then as you're

grounding, you can just let go.

That's such a great thing to be able to heal, to be able to move on

with your life, to be able to move forward, to be able to create a

life that you want, that you desire.

Cool.

So now for my dear listeners the question that I imagine you would be

asking as well, how can I heal my life?

There are a couple of ways for you to heal your own life.

First of all, I have this class healing your past.

It is available online to be downloaded right away.

You can access it, and that's an amazing way to understand patterns

in your own life and to see what you can do with that, clear that energy

out and take a massive step forward.

Your spirit definitely wants you to move forward.

That's why it's showing you those patterns and showing you that past conditioning.

So take that call and step in.

Play for a little while with some art therapy and meditation.

Play just an hour and then you can heal that pattern.

You can heal your life.

So that's one.

The other thing, I have this ebook called grounding.

Grounding is amazing.

I've talked so many times about it.

It is how you balance out the negative charge in your body with

the positive charge in the earth.

You balance out that negative and positive and you just really give a whole lot

of release and healing to your body.

You neutralize a lot of the pictures where you're carrying charges, where

you bring in those negative experiences.

Just by grounding, you achieve tremendous things.

I have a free ebook that you can download at Art of life center.com/grounding.

Then I have another meditation as well, and I'm offering this for free.

This meditation is art therapy meditation on forgiving yourself, and it is by far

one of the major meditations that I have experienced personally forgiving yourself.

For me, forgiving myself was really, really big.

I used to hold myself guilty for my daughter's passing because she

passed away as I was sleeping.

I was pregnant with her at the time, so I had massive guilt pictures

around how can you sleep like that and what sort of a mother am I,

you know, all the charged pictures.

But as I forgave myself, a lot of healing happened.

I could understand as well why that happened, why she decided to come into my

life and not decide to come into my life.

So meditation gave a lot of those answers as well.

So it is tremendously powerful.

If there's anything that you feel that you are holding yourself prisoner to, if

there is some past action, if there's a judgment, if there's any sort of guilt

or shame, I highly encourage you to download this class, this meditation

class on forgiving yourself because that could be your doorway to freedom.

It really freed up and healed me massively.

So I wanted to give that gift out to you.

You can find that class at artoflife center.com/meditation classes.

If you go there, you will find all of my meditation classes, all of my

art therapy and meditation classes.

I've kept the forgiving yourself for free because I know it'll be just such

a huge benefit to the whole world.

I really hope you enjoy it.

If you do download it, let me know how it works for you.

I hope you have some fun while healing yourself, forgiving yourself and

bringing a lot of freedom in your life.

So that's it for today.
