S2 Ep1-The Gaia Thing by Mind, Body, Spirit, Home

The Motherhood Thing: As Mother’s Day has passed, we hope everyone had a great day celebrating. We talk a lot on subjects that can really apply to your life whether you are a mother or not, parenting or not, or in life in general. Today we wanted to touch on some things we as mothers have experienced and learned/learning from. Motherhood is such a personal and unique experience, yet we allow outside influences to dictate our own parenting experience. In a world of so many different perspectives, you must learn what works for you and what doesn’t. Take pieces from everywhere and create your own environment for what works, but do not let those pieces work against you. Its up to you to not let expectations, judgements, and shaming run your experience. No body in this world is you, no body in this world are your kids. There is no rule book, or step by step guide on what to do. Also, you are not alone, we are all out here doing the best we can, finding what works for us. Be open to help and advice without taking it as something to tear you down. Honor yourself, honor your struggle, honor your experience, honor your wins, and honor the other moms in your life trying to figure out their paths. As always Stay Safe, physically, energetically, and spiritually If you are struggling during this time, please reach out. We are offering mini no-contract sessions. Or if you just need someone to talk to for a pick me up. Reach out, we are here. It is ok to not be ok, it is not ok to do nothing about it. Wake up. Open your eyes, its Beautiful.

The Crutch Thing: What would you consider a crutch? Did you know you can not only physical crutches in your life, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual crutches too? We are going into the strength and self-awareness it takes to take ownership of your own patterns that have become your crutches. Sometimes you need those crutches to help you to heal yourself, but eventually you must stand up and thrive. Let us know what you think of todays episode, or a topic you would like to hear more on. As always Stay Safe, physically, energetically, and spiritually. If you are struggling during this time, please reach out. We are offering mini no-contract sessions. Or if you just need someone to talk to for a pick me up. Reach out, we are here. It is ok to not be ok, it is not ok to do nothing about it. Wake up. Open your eyes, its Beautiful.

The Judgement Thing: Judgement vs Observation, do you know the difference? Are you thinking your observing instead of judging or maybe you think your judging yourself or others and really your making observations? Today were going deep into this topic. Removing judgement from your life can be a huge tool for growth, and a huge tool for self-awareness. It is an ever-evolving aspect to work on in your life. We all are constantly working on judgement in our lives. You also can not judge yourself based on your judgements. You are not your thoughts; you are an observer of your thoughts. We are always growing and bettering yourself. As always Stay Safe, physically, energetically, and spiritually If you are struggling during this time, please reach out. We are offering mini no-contract sessions. Or if you just need someone to talk to for a pick me up. Reach out, we are here. It is ok to not be ok, it is not ok to do nothing about it. Wake up.

The Forgiveness Thing: UC Berkeley defines forgiveness as “generally a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. Experts say when you forgive you do not gloss over or deny the seriousness of an offense against you. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting nor does it mean condoning or excusing offenses.” - https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/topic/forgiveness/definition Today we are going to talk about how and why that perspective is NOT working for you. The act of giving forgiveness or needing forgiveness is rooted in your EGO. In order to need to forgive someone or yourself you first must be offering judgement. We are also going to be talking about how “letting go” or not holding on to past wounds or negative energy is NOT the same as healing or transmuting the energy that is still there. Displaced emotions or energy will always come back up for you even in ways that are not directly where you think they should be coming from. You are always in control of your perspective. That is something no one can take away from you. So come take a listen on our perspective on Forgiveness, Grace, Understanding, and Healing. As always Stay Safe, physically, energetically, and spiritually If you are struggling during this time, please reach out. We are offering mini no-contract sessions. Or if you just need someone to talk to for a pick me up. Reach out, we are here. It is ok to not be ok, it is not ok to do nothing about it. Wake up. Open your eyes, its Beautiful.

The Quarantine Thing: Today we are talking about where we all are in this time of quarantine. We are in this alone, together. Before rushing back to normal, lets look at what part of normal wasn’t working. What do we do with all of this time? Where are we emotionally during this time? What mentally is coming up for you? No matter what you’re going through, its ok. The good news if you don’t like where you are mentally, you get to change it. This is the perfect time to practice changing your mindset. If you are in a place that you like your new normal, celebrate that, explore it. There are amazing self-reflections and social interactions going on during these hard times. We are not saying, not to look at reality, but instead look at this reality in a different perspective. Use this time to get back to you, to get back to the connections that bring you joy. Bring joy back into your environment. You get to decide this narrative, choose wisely. As always Stay Safe, physically, energetically, and spiritually If you are struggling during this time, please please reach out. We are offering mini no-contract sessions. Or if you just need someone to talk to for a pick me up. Reach out, we are here. Again, we are in this alone, TOGETHER. It is ok to not be ok, it is not ok to do nothing about it.

The Event Thing This is an impromptu podcast that we wanted to put out, with the current events going on globally. So today we are talking about the Event. What is the Event? You may or may not have heard about it. We’re going to go into what it is, what it means going forward, what this means for you, and what this means for our lives. This is a lot of information; you can take from it what you can or want to. We are simply here to spread the awareness and help anyone that wants the help to better understand what is going on. This was our first time recording through Zoom, so we apologize for any technical or overlapping through the recording. Let us know what you think about todays episode.

The MF Energy Thing: On today’s episode, we are talking about Masculine and Feminine Energy. Society has set up this construct of what “feels” masculine or feminine. Society conditions us to see “things”, attributes, and personality traits to be one or the other. We as the collective must change this narrative. No one has to be one or the other or need to be labeled. Be yourself and embody what feels good to YOU. Are you comparing yourself or someone around you, to what you feel something is or what society says or conditions you to believe it should be? Personality traits should not be assigned a gender. Lets start by breaking these manmade constructs and start a new Revolution! Let us know what you think about todays episode.

The Destination Happiness Thing: This is what happens when you are constantly searching for your happiness, rather than finding your happiness in the journey regardless of your situation or circumstances. "When things fall into place I will finally be at peace. When I am at peace, things will fall into place." Join us today to see where the destination happiness path will lead you or where finding happiness in the journey will lead you. Let us know what you think about todays episode.

The Alchemy Thing: What does the word “Alchemy” mean to you? Today we are talking about what is Alchemy, how does it fit into our life, and how much alchemy pertains to you. We are also diving into magic, intentions, and metaphysical practices in general. If you have noticed lately there is an abundance of metaphysical practices becoming mainstream lately. Whether you think it is a trend or a global awakening, keep watching because its only going to be becoming more noticeable. We want to bring to you some clarity of these practices. It can be a confusing time with all the information available. We want you to be able to work smarter not harder.

The Perseverance Thing Today we are talking about what do you do when you cant stop to take a break. When life piles stuff on, are you letting go of what you have accomplished or are you holding on to it, letting it overwhelm you? You can not be in a place where you are in the mindset of when everything falls into place I will be at peace. You will be chasing that peace forever. Your peace can not be reliant on decompression, you have to be able to teach your self to decompress in the highest stress situations. There is a "healthy decompression" vs. a "crash and burn".

The Awakening Thing: On today’s episode, we are talking about the Spiritual Awakening. What is it? How can it affect you? How do you know if it’s happening to you? It’s what happens when you really let go of the ego, and allow that pure universal truth to set in to your conscious thoughts and your awareness and just exist there, and understand it and accept it.

The Purpose Thing: Today we are talking about “what is your purpose” One of the biggest causes of depression is a feeling of lack of purpose! Feeling a lack of purpose can be linked back to perspective. Perception of what purpose actually means and what it actually is. It's not what you're doing, how much money your making, it’s not a title. It’s who you are. Your Purpose is who you are in making this world a better place. You will never be able to measure the impact of your purpose. Your purpose will make you feel so alive you won’t be able to do anything else and get that feeling. If you are struggling with discovering your purpose, todays episode is going to go into where to start, what it is, and how stepping into that space will change your life.

The Inside a Session Thing: Today we are taking a peek into what a Metaphysical session "Year in Review" looks like. We are right at Karen's 2 year mark of being in Metaphysical Therapy. So join us as we take a look back at the past two years. The biggest struggles, the biggest changes, and the biggest successes. At being the most vulnerable to herself and around her we are taking a look at what these times have looked like.

The Manifest Thing: Today we are talking manifestations!! Going into the New Year, we are ditching the resolutions, and giving you the tools to manifest your new year and your life. You can manifest anything in YOUR life. Its all in your control. Anything from material things, parking spaces, experiences. We are also talking about what you cannot manifest and things that are not in your control. Also, the things you can’t manifest. The universe does not understand semantics. It will only match your vibrations and what you are putting out. So, if you are putting out worry, or unworthiness, or negativity that’s the low vibration the universe will match. You can manifest negative experiences also. Can you manifest your health? Absolutely!! Your thoughts are put into action and physically affect your body. You can heal yourself with manifestation. That is literally what the placebo effect is, healing your-self with thoughts. We all still have timelines and lessons and those things you cannot change, but you can take control of your life and how you experience it. Match the vibration in which you deserve.

The Expectations Thing EXPECTATIONS ARE LIMITATIONS!!!! Whatever you expect to happen, could never be everything that could possibly happen. Today we are talking on expectations. What does that mean? What expectations are you putting on yourself, or on your life, or on the people around you? Are you living your life based on other people’s expectations of you? Expectations are very different than standards. Expectations are external limits, standards are based on an internal compass. When you are holding onto expectations of other people or living based on other people’s expectations you are holding up space at your table for others to sit down. You are limiting the experience you could have with others by letting expectations rule your table. When you continue to let someone treat you a certain way because you think its expected of you to continue the relationship you are dropping your standards to uphold their expectations, instead of upholding your standards, and dropping their expectations.

The Opinion Thing: Today we are talking about Opinions! And no, we’re not just talking about “everyone has one”. Today we are going into what to do with other people’s opinion or you projecting your opinion out. No matter what someone’s opinion is of you, that is a direct reflection of an insecurity they have of how they think something or someone should be. That doesn’t make their opinion right and doesn’t make your opinion right. Just like we talked about before thoughts are not right or wrong, it is what ever you think it is. If you are allowing other peoples opinion to change how you live your life, then you are willingly handing over your power to an outside source. Other peoples opinion of you can only effect you if it is hitting a weak spot, when you heal that weak spot there is nothing they can hurt. If you are living your life for other people’s validation you are putting your happiness into other peoples hands. When you get quiet, and only paying attention to YOUR internal voice you can not hear the positive or negative coming in. When you start to heal yourself and the spots that hurt when people poke them, there is nothing for them to poke. Bruises heal, but its up to heal yourself.

The Boundary Thing: Today we are talking about your boundaries. When you set a boundary, you are the one responsible for honoring that boundary, not for other people to figure them out. How do you know what your boundaries are? It’s a lot of self-awareness and exploring what your boundaries are. The feelings that come up when you start setting them, can be feelings your not used to and maybe you need to feel them to heal. If someone breaks into your house, you’re not going to say, “oh sorry I didn’t leave the door unlocked for you”. You’re not going to pursue a toxic relationship with them. You are going to protect your space at all cost. This is what you need to do with your peace, your personal space, and mental health. If you would cut a stranger off for disrespecting you, but if a family member or spouse or any person close to you does this and we keep allowing this in our lives. This is not easy, by any means. This is a reprogramming of your subconscious. You cannot change your behavior externally without changing internally. As above so below. You cannot expect other people to respect your boundaries if you can not respect your own boundaries, or honoring them, or standing up for them. Becoming aware of your boundaries are also about communicating. As you get to know these new limits, you are allowed and should communicate them to people around you as things happen. How they respond is on them, and you may get a reaction you don’t expect. Sometimes the reaction wont be good, but more often than not the people that care about you will respect and enjoy the fact that your growing! Also, we are touching on the metaphysical side of boundaries. If you do not have healthy boundaries with your self and those around you, You will not have healthy boundaries with the spirit side. **Disclaimer** We do not claim to stand as a medical professional, or as a medical professional team, and no advice given or insinuated by our team should ever be taken and/or acted upon against the direct instruction of a medical professional.

Ep. 14 - The Gratitude Thing by Mind, Body, Spirit, Home

The GBR Thing: What is GBR?? Well today we’re going to talk about it. What it is and how it can change everything in a matter of moments. GBR is a personal experience that is tailored specific to each person, but today we are giving a base guideline that will start you off. GBR, is connecting your self back to your physical and metaphysical energy, and protecting your energy, and raising to a higher vibration. Adding GBR to your everyday practice, will ensure that you are reclaiming your energy and that you are in control of your emotions instead of the energy controlling you. 21:30-26:30 A walk through of the GBR, so you can come back anytime you want to have a guide whenever you need it. *Disclaimer* We do not claim to stand as a medical professional, or as a medical professional team, and no advice given or insinuated by our team should ever be taken and/or acted upon against the direct instruction of a medical professional.

The Empath Thing Empathy vs being an Empath. What does that really mean? How can you use being an Empath to work as a strength instead of a weakness? We are covering all that in today’s episode. We would love to know what you think. Please leave us a review here or on our Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/mindbodyspirithome Physical Empath, Emotional Empath, and Intuitive Empath. We are breaking down what each of those are. Some of the downfalls for being and untrained Empath, and how it can wreak havoc on your life and your emotions. Many empaths often get diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and/or bi-polar. Untrained empaths are also often labeled as highly sensitive or get over stimulated very easily. Why does this happen? This episode provides great information, and advice for those who may not yet know they are empathic, or for those who have known for a long time they are empaths and are looking to use this gift/ability to align and work with their life’s bigger purpose. The scientific evidence that was talked about in this episode was from: Psychiatrist, Judith Orloff wrote the Empath’s Survival Guide; a book aimed at helping highly attuned people to not absorb the stress of the world. Interestingly, the evidence she uses to characterize empaths. 1. The Mirror Neuron System A specialized group of brain cells have been discovered, which are responsible for compassion. They essentially enable people to mirror emotions and reflect another person’s joy, pain, or fear. Some people are more sensitive to these neurons than others. Mirror Neurons are a source of connection with another person, where you feel what they feel. If someone is sad you feel sad, if someone is happy, you feel happy, if someone is afraid, you feel afraid, etc. 2. Emotional Contagion Research has shown the contagious effect of emotion. People pick up on a dominant mood, or amplify a behavior which represents an underlying emotion. For example, a crying baby can set off the same reaction in a whole ward of babies. One person expressing anxiety in a busy queue can spread it to other people very quickly. Humans are great at spreading and catching emotional viruses in groups. It is a key part of synchronizing and building connections through relationships. It’s likely a key survival mechanism in the story of our development as a species. 3. Electromagnetic Signals The HeartMath Institute have done research demonstrating, “different patterns of heart activity (which accompany different emotional states) have distinct effects on cognitive and emotional function. During stress and negative emotions, when the heart rhythm pattern is erratic and disordered, the corresponding pattern of neural signals traveling from the heart to the brain inhibits higher cognitive functions. This limits our ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions.” The origin: From its Latin roots empathy means to be within the suffering of another person. Em (in/to put yourself into) Pati (to feel/suffer) Sited from: https://www.andymort.com/empath/ Empath Survival Guide: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=empath+survival+guide&hvadid=78477695289210&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&tag=mh0b-20&ref=pd_sl_57j1crbalk_e *Disclaimer* We do not claim to stand as a medical professional, or as a medical professional team, and no advice given or insinuated by our team should ever be taken and/or acted upon against the direct instruction of a medical professional.

The Stress, Anxiety, Depression Thing: *Trigger Warning* If you are in a depression or suicidal ideation state, please reach out for help, you are not alone, you don't have to do this alone. There is help. Today we are talking about how stress, anxiety and depression can effect your life when it is not dealt with. You do not have to live a life where you just "deal" with stress. Stress is very simple and can be brought down to one simple thought, "what are you trying to control?" Anxiety is the physical manifestation of stress. What does anxiety really do to the body. What happens when untreated stress and anxiety turns into depression. Debilitating depression is when your body and mind are depleted and exhausted. Metaphysically what is going on when your anxiety and depression is being healed, yet your still experiencing it. When your metaphysical mind and your physical mind are not connected. Let us know in a review or private message us, if you implement some of these practices and how you feel after a week of it.

The Metaphysical Therapy Thing Today we are talking on what Metaphysical counseling really is! We have touched on it before on other episodes so were going a little more in depth on what it entails and if it could be a right fit for you! Megan shares her stories and side from being a Metaphysical Practitioner and Karen shares her side from doing almost 2 years of a Metaphysical Therapy patient. Metaphysics by definition, is the study of that which science cannot tangibly examine. Energies, sub-conscious things like that. This approach is about more than managing your life struggles its about overcoming them. It takes a strong person to be able to identify that shadow side and start overcoming and healing each of those parts one by one. It’s not about giving excuses to your trauma or accepting that your broken. YOUR NOT. You have a responsibility to heal yourself and live your best life. What you think are your biggest weaknesses, can become your biggest strengths. Stop letting society tell you who and what you should be. Step into who you are and who you were meant to be fully. Happiness is tangible for you. You must find the right fit for you, and what works for you. You deserve to not just survive your life, but actually THRIVE in your life.

The Spirit Thing Today in the “spirit” of Spooky Season, we are talking about Spirits and Ghosts and all the things that go with it. Have you had experiences where you thought you saw something that wasn’t there or heard something that wasn’t there? Odds are you weren’t wrong. Maybe you had an experience that you knew exactly what it was but it left you questioning what it really was, or why are these things happening. Some people are more sensitive to these happenings, some know this and some do not. Are you a light to the other side? Spooky Season, October, Samhain, All Hallows Eve, and Halloween tends to lead into more of these experiences happening, but why? Well the veil is thinning……. Among other reasons, but we are covering that today. What is a Spirit vs Ghost? What is crossed over vs. not crossed over? Poltergeist energy? What does all this mean and how does it effect you? When spirits communicate with you, they will come with a purpose and a message. Whether it’s a song, or numbers, phrases, they will do whatever is needed to get your attention. A sprit that is crossed over will never use your personal energy to communicate with you and will never do something to deliberately invoke fear from you. Also talking on the “good” and “bad” with spirits, demons, ghosts. Low vibrations, high vibrations, low frequencies, high frequencies. You never mess with the other side when you don’t know what your doing and how to protect your self or help them. What is Universal Law? How can you use it to protect yourself? You have your 5 physical senses, see, hear, sight, touch, taste, smell. There is also 5 senses for the other side. Everyone has them, its just which ones are stronger or more dominate for you. Everyone has the ability to connect to the other side, and there are some that are more naturally able to and are like a light to the other side that these beings will gravitate to, like moths to a flame. Claim your space, protect your home. As above so below. Yes, they are real. No, your not crazy. And tell us about your experiences you have had!! Check out our Facebook page and let us know what you think and what experiences you have had: https://www.facebook.com/MindBodySpiritHome

*These are our experiences, our opinions, coming from a Metaphysical side, and to show there are more than one way of looking at this topic.* We are continuing our conversation on Mental Health, covering some topics we ran out of time on from last week. Society fears what it does not know. Those who control the views of the society will label what it doesn’t know as broken, crazy, wrong, or damaged. People arnt crazy, they are gifted. But that is not what we are taught to view these gifts as. When you are not meeting societies expectations of what you should be, or how you should feel, you will feel disconnected from your self and what you want to feel. We are talking on the stigma with men and mental health. Societies expectaions and what they put on men and how they should feel and how they should be. Human beings need to feel emotions. We need to be focusing on allowing men and women to feel and express emotions, instead of surpressing them and trying to conform to what we “think” we should be. Mental health is not gender specfic or status specfic. You have to find what feed yours soul, you have to find your passion. Your not crazy, there is nothing “wrong” with you. If you are truly intrested in being naturally happy and fulfilled. It is possible. Mental health is not a box and neither is overcoming the struggles within it. There are options. We are breaking the stigma that there is only one way to do things. You find what works for you, what feeds your soul. Find your Happy.

The Mental Health Thing Part 1. **Trigger Warning** These are our opinions and views from a Metaphysical point of science. There are so many more options than what is given by society in the mental health community. You must find what works for you. Your mental health is yours and should be tailored to you. Not just what society says you are and how to treat your mental wellness. What you think are your weaknesses, what you think makes you broken, could be your strengths and gifts that you have. Learning to work with them, instead of suppressing them could be what unlocks the rest of your life. Society says something is wrong with you, we are saying you lean into your gifts. Your mental illness, or any illness is not your identity. You struggling doesn’t mean that your broken. Your struggle doesn’t define you. We need to feel our emotions, we need to process those emotions. We need to break the stigma of numbing out our emotions. We need to break the stigma of not talking about those emotions. It is not about living with an illness, its not about a cure, its not about managing your life. Its about OVERCOMING, its about THRIVING. The work that gets you to that place takes amazingly hard work. You can have the life you want. Its okay to not be ok, it is not ok to do nothing about it. You are not alone. You are enough. You are brave. There is help, there is more help than what is deemed “normal”. Never give up.

The Superhero Thing: Public Service Announcement: YOU ARE NOT A SUPERHERO AND NEITHER IS SHE/HE. It is not ok to run your self into the ground, in the name of “being able to”. We can not change societies expectations without changing our own. The mentality of “if you’re not doing everything than why are you even trying” is unrealistic. Be unapologetically you, find your strengths, and be proud of them. Be proud of the people around you that are being unapologetically them. If it cost you your joy, it is to expensive. Self-care is not a job it is a life experience, stop giving what’s left of you and give the best of you. Self-awareness, self-assessment, then self-care. Start having that internal conversation with yourself, give yourself what you need. If you don’t like your life experience, change HOW your experience your life.

The Breakthrough Thing – Breakdowns lead to breakthroughs! You have heard the metaphor of the caterpillar cocooning itself and then turns into the butterfly, but what does that metaphor really mean? What are Energy upgrades, conserving your energy for the breakthrough? “Seasonal Depression” and what really is it? Energetically going into that cocoon and working on yourself will lead to your breakthrough. Knowing when to go inward and really sit with your feelings and when to know you can’t do it in on your own and you need to reach out for help. Shadow work is very uncomfortable, and vulnerable and raw. That is where the healing is! Listen to your inner voice for what your body and soul needs. Dive in and get personal with yourself. The seclusion is not the remedy, the seclusion sets the atmosphere to invoke the remedy. **Disclaimer: We do not claim to stand as a medical professional, or as a medical professional team, and no advice given or insinuated by our team should ever be taken and/or acted upon against the direct instruction of a medical professional.

What is FAILURE to you. The only way to fail at anything is if you quit trying before you can even succeed!! Take away the fear of failure, YOUR GOING TO FAIL. Failing says you have a goal, it says you want better. Keep going. Dave Ramsey - "I am not standing on a mountain of success, I am standing on a mountain of my failures." Stop trying to life 1000lbs at one time. Lift 1lb a 1000x. Failing is just a matter of perspective. Your not scared of failing, your scared of other people seeing you fail. Enjoy the journey, do what feels good to you, and learn along the way. Its not about the success, or the end goal, its learning all the ways not to do something. Expectations are limitations. You cant fail at something you were created to do. Let go of what you think the path should look like.

The Personal Journey! Your personal journey is just that YOURS. Were taking a look and talking about all the things around the journey. Stop comparing your starting point to someone else’s middle point. Every path is unique to what is set out for YOU. “To let go of anger and competition and to do it honestly, you have to understand that perseverance is a personal journey.”-Megan. You are not here to determine (or hand out Karma) for others life’s path. The only Karma you have control over is your own. Your path is not set out for you to have an audience in your journey, it is to learn the lessons. Learning the Spiral of lessons on your way, and healing in those lessons. You can’t fail at something unless you quit before you succeed, sometimes when you fail the test you could be passing the lesson. Your rock bottom doesn’t have to fit societies rock bottom. Stay in your lane, have gratitude for the lessons and learning, enjoy the view around you, keep growing, be proud of yourself, help others authentically.
