The Self Love Yogi Podcast

Thank you so much for being here! It took me a couple years but I made it to episode 50 :) I wanted to celebrate with a guided meditation. The podcast is going to be changing a bit! So stay tuned for high vibes and intuitive changes. So much love for you all. Namaste.

Going with the flow and getting out of the hustle, and why self love is a CRUCIAL part of reaching your goals and getting the things you desire.  (Scroll to the bottom for show notes) Last Monday, I decided to take a couple of weeks off from social media and the constant posting. I listened to an Abraham Hicks podcast about putting time between the asking of the question and the answer, and it really shifted how I see things. The episode talked about that as humans we go around all day and ask questions and expect an immediate answer. But things need to line up for us to understand the answer and items need to be put in place so the answer we receive makes sense. I've been working on this online business for a long time and I've learned SO much and come so far, but because I tend to look forward (and let's be honest, constantly compare myself to people who are “more successful” than me), my vibration isn't lined up with what I want and I stay stuck. I also had a psychic reading with my friend Tana, and she told me my guides are basically asking me to pause and settle for a bit. They said that if I can rest in where I can be of service RIGHT NOW, the answers that are eluding me will come. And also that I need to calm my vibration and get into the receiving mode. After listening to this podcast and the reading I had with Tana, I decided to go with the flow and chill for a little while. And already answers have been showing themselves to me. I don't know what to do with them just yet, but I know if I relax into them it will start to make sense. I also decided to sit tight and revel in all of the amazing things I have RIGHT now, and the ways I am able to serve. So while it's not my dream business yet… it is on its way and I have a lot of amazing blessings in my current physical reality. I am also already serving and helping a lot of people. I have been so focused on creating content consistently (as in, daily… sometimes even multiple times a day) the magic of my particular message gets lost and sacrificed for content output. And while it may feel like that's how we hack the algorithm, I think it's actually super counter productive for soul aligned businesses. Because your soul clients can feel what's missing, even if they can't quite name it.  And now a life changing book that brought me to do this episode... "It's Not Your Money" by Tosha Silver on here, but I AM OBSESSED. I am also really becoming “anti manifestation” culture (although maybe I don't need to be anti anything). I know vision boards and writing down exactly what you want works for a lot of people, and maybe there's a place and energy type for it. But for me, it feels exhausting, and like I'm constantly telling the universe exactly what I want (but let's be real, I'm not entirely sure exactly what I want), not receiving it, stressing about it... and the universe is over here like" DUDE maybe that's not what you're meant to have." INYM is all about surrendering to the divine flow so God can use you however he sees fit, and how to become a conduit for source. Let go of the tunnel vision and open yourself up to the divine flow. This was a huge "aha" moment that's helped me recognize the need to go with the flow. I really want to let go of societies idea of “success”. We've been taught for decades to work as hard as you possibly can and what you want will come. But so often, that completely goes against the law of attraction. When you're focused so much on what you don't have and beating your head against the wall to try and make it happen, you actually push it further away from you. This is true for the old adage of “work hard and things will come to you” as well as “ask for every fucking specific thing, or the universe will be confused”. And in the words of Tosha Silver… as if the all knowing Goddess herself doesn't know what you need. NOW... Here's my tips for you, wonderful reader!

How to handle your spiritual development when people around you don't understand. (Scroll to the bottom for the show notes) Growing and other's around you are triggered? Keep reading. Hello, loves! A lot of my client's come to me and say “I'm growing, and it feels really good. But then I have someone in my life who kinda pulls me down, or they struggle with the newer version of myself, and it drags me back down into previous habits.” So the question is… How do I grow when people I love and care about around me aren't growing? (Or at least, aren't growing at a similar pace) You've probably heard that everyone is a mirror. Everyone you encounter in your life is an opportunity to see something inside yourself that you still need to heal. And while I believe this to be absolutely true… I also believe that people (especially stagnant people… and there's no shame in that it's just their journey) hold us up to the version of us they know best. So if you have a lot of people in your life that met you a while back before you began to grow, (I believe) they have that version of you burned subconsciously in their heads. When you start to do things differently, it triggers them. And sometimes, their response triggers YOU. This may make you want to fall back into that old version of you to keep them happy or keep the peace. I'm here to tell you… DON'T. I'm working through a really powerful book right now, called It's Not Your Money by Tosha Silver. And while it's about letting go of money hangups, I think this part is very relevant here. There's a prayer I say every day, and part of it is “let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come.” And this applies to growth alongside people as well. People are in our lives, almost as a contract. When you meet someone, they might stay for 5 minutes or 50 years, but I believe there was a predetermined contract of how long and what lessons would be exchanged. But as humans, we tend to cling to people for numerous reasons… self identification, ego, fear, worthiness… and sometimes we hold on far longer than we need to. What I'm saying is… grow anyway. The people that are meant for you will stick around. Those who aren't will fall away. It is all for your highest good, so don't you dare censor your growth one bit.  Now you might be thinking, ”That's great Jen. But what about my mom? What about my husband?” This can be far more challenging. This often requires tools (and probably more contracted lessons) rather than letting these people fall away. (Although I will say, no one DESERVES access to you just because they're blood.) Let's talk growing around family and partners. So let's say you've cleaned house… let go of old friends who no longer serve you, invited new ones in who are more aligned… and you're left with a husband who thinks your nuts and a mom who wishes you could “just be the way you used to be.” Da da da DAAAA! Enter: TOOLS. Here's 5 things to stop drop and do in the face of your growth challenging someone you love: Practice compassion. Remember that they love you, from where they are and in the capacity they know. The more compassionate you are, the more it will rub off onto them and help THEIR healing process, as well as yours.Let go of responsibility. No matter how much you love someone, you are not responsible for them. Not their lives, not their feelings… none of it. So let it go. You can either remind yourself or directly tell them “I'm doing me, so I can be better for everyone around me. I'm sorry if that triggers you, but this is my journey. I love you and I support your journey.”Release attachment. Another powerful lesson from the book I'm reading… aparigraha (non attachment, non clinging, non grasping). Release attachment to the outcome, to how you “THINK” things should be. All of it. Love them but don't attach to them. I think this is one of the hardest lessons as humans.

The trauma that may be hardest to talk about... money trauma. Healing around money often requires us to look at our distress that caused our money issues. Our damaged relationship with money often comes from things that seem totally unrelated. Want more self love content?
