Welcome to another episode of Dear Krachel, our monthly advice segment where we answer listener questions about life, career, relationships, existential angst, and anything that helps you become a more whole, fulfilled version of yourself. This month we answered questions from: Ready to Move Forward, a highly sensitive person who’s been deeply affected by the meanness and negativity of people around her. She’s just now getting to the point where she’s ready to share some of her creative work with the world, but she knows it will open her up to hurtful feedback. How can she stop absorbing negative energy so she can live her life in peace? Emily, a college senior whose parents have consistently told her she’s “average” and “won’t succeed.” A lifetime of being torn down by the people meant to love and uplift her the most has left her fearful and lacking in confidence. How can she believe something different about herself, and stop allowing the toxic messages from her family into her life? Leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how our advice for these listeners resonated with you! Want to submit a question for our March episode of Dear Krachel?

We heard an anecdote recently about Navy SEALs that hit us so hard, we had to do a special episode about it: Apparently, of all the extreme things they subject SEALs to during training, the part they find the most unbearable is not knowing when it ends. It’s not the torturous conditions themselves, but not knowing how long they’ll have to endure them, that makes it so difficult. Of course, we immediately thought: This is the pandemic. Or a job you hate and have no idea when you’ll ever be able to quit. Or a bad marriage. Or being single when you don’t want to be. Or a health crisis. There are so many things in life that feel impossible to quit, and are made that much more difficult because we have no light at the end of the tunnel. But who’s to say you can’t create a light at the end of the tunnel? We believe it’s possible, even in circumstances you think you have zero control over. So, in a special bonus Side Chat, we got into… Why it feels so heavy to have no light at the end of the tunnel, and what it does to us psychologically when we’re in that state. A strategy you can implement that takes you from feeling like a victim to circumstance to empowered and energetic and hopeful. How we, and some of our clients, have taken this strategy and quit things that seemed impossible to quit, and created light where there used to be none! Leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how this resonated with you, and how you might apply this to your situation! 1:1 COACHING ENROLLMENT IS OPEN!

Calling all fellow bookworms, library nerds, and general lovers of literature — it’s time for another book club episode of the podcast! Whenever there are five Fridays in a month, we devote the extra Friday to a book that we can’t get enough of. In this episode, we’re diving into an age-old classic, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. To be VERY honest, when we say “can’t get enough,” in this case we did get enough. Too much, even. Like, “throw this book across the room” levels of enough-ness. And not because this book is awful. Quite the opposite! It’s more like, too hot to handle. If you’ve got ~stuff~ … this book is going to bring it up. And you best be ready when it does! Listen in as we talk about: Why we were triggered by this book, and why Rachel in particular had a detox-level reaction to it! The two weekly activities you can do to unblock yourself, creatively or otherwise. Why this book is excellent for people stuck for any reason, not just in an artistic sense. Some next-level ideas that were new, even to us! After you listen, come leave a comment to share how this conversation landed with you! 1:1 COACHING ENROLLMENT IS OPEN!

Malcolm Kinsey, a legend in South African motoring circles, and the man behind the Kinsey Report which exposed car parts prices for the past 30 years and kept the manufacturers in check, died last week. Wendy took a long hard look at his last Report - his 30th! - released exactly three months ago - to find the most ridiculously expensive parts (compared with their competitors) and ask one of the manufacturers if they’ve adjusted their out-of-whack prices since the release of the report. He and his wife Jill usually collect prices - directly from dealerships in the greater Durban area, to simulate the consumer experience - in May/June but last year that was the height of restricted travel and social distancing with many dealerships on light duty. So they delayed the massive job until September. His approach was slightly different, too - along with personal visits to dealerships, he approached a few manufacturers to supply their retail prices, including VAT – which he then randomly checked at dealerships.

In times like these it can be especially hard to tune into your intuition and receive guidance. Fear and uncertainty create a LOT of noise, both internally and externally! And, ironically, it’s exactly when we’re most afraid and unsure that we most need to be able to receive wisdom and inspiration. Last year we started doing “Message from the Universe” episodes to help get us through the pandemic. Though we stopped doing them regularly, we promised they’d be back at random, probably when you most needed a little encouragement—and it feels like we could all use that right about now! So, if you’re having a hard time getting calm, quieting your mind, and tuning in lately (understandable, if so!), we hope this message will give you an extra boost of guidance today. We pulled 3 cards from The Enchanted Map deck by Colette Baron-Reid. One or all has a message for you — come find out what it is! Click here to see the cards, as well as read the description of each! After you listen, come leave a comment to share how the message landed with you. 1:1 COACHING ENROLLMENT IS OPEN NOW!

In response to growing concerns about PTSD and suicide among firefighters, the University of Illinois Fire Service Institute created the First Responder Resiliency Program in 2016. The goal is to prepare firefighters for the mental health challenges they face on the job, and to educate them on healthy ways to recover and grow, including asking for help when needed. At least 10,000 first responders have gone through the training, which has expanded over the years to include a four-hour course offered for free across the state.   In this episode, Robby talks to the program leaders to learn how it works, the impact it’s had, and tips for firefighters and agencies looking to break the stigma attached to mental health issues in the fire service.

The statistics are clear. Excess deaths have remained unchanged since May/June this year. The PCR test applied on an industrial scale is unreliable with an unspecified high false positive rate so the more testing of even a healthy population the more false positives masquerading as cases will be found. The apparent rise in covid mortality has exactly mirrored the reduction in mortality from other causes. Hospital bed occupancy is lower than this time last year. SAGE have had to back pedal and say that their only remit is to advise about Corona yet they stand in front of the National media advising drastic measures without any due consideration for the side effects of those measures. It is potentially medicolegally an assault. One the main effects of lockdown is stress for a number of reasons all centred on loss of individual control over one's life. This will lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as innumerable other illnesses. Stress is already the biggest killer in the Western World above poor diet. Bullying also can lead to PTSD and we look at allegations which have found to be true against the Home Secretary yet she has not been sacked. This is in contrast to a junior politician who's promotion was blocked by Boris Johnson because BJ's girl friend gave evidence against him in a harassment case where he was exonerated. It looks like you either have to be guilty to thrive or its just who you know in this life. That said we now all know. The days of the government are numbered although Labour have made an even less cogent argument for deserving any power or influence at all. The only sense (and integrity) has come from a wind-sailing ex civil servant who resigned after he concluded the Home Secretary had broken ministerial code but Boris Johnson said it was ok because she did not realise and a group of conservative MPs who have formed an anti lockdown group.

* Episode title adapted from “Landmarks” by Robert Macfarlane. See ref. 19 below for quote.In episode 9, on ‘language’, we touch on:How language in humans is ever-evolving, with the power to generate new meaning, identities, and relationships, or, to undermine these, and to divide. How nature words are being lost in childhood and adopted by technology and finance.Whether language is a human-only phenomenon and how this may influence how we interact with the natural world.Examples of language and/or communication within and between species, including prairie dogs, trees, octopi, and swans.How language, poetry and stories can help us reimagine ourselves, the natural world, and our connection to it; and how this may help us tackle climate change and promote conservationIf you'd like to explore this and other topics further, please join our private Facebook group, 'Unfurling Podcast'.----References: ~3: “Language”, Cambridge Dictionary: “a system of communication consisting of sounds, words, and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work”, “a system of communication by speaking, writing, or making signs in a way that can be understood, or any of the different systems of communication used in particular regions”, “in computer programming, a language is a system of writing instructions for computers.” ~5: “Language”, Online Etymology Dictionary: “speech, words, oratory; a tribe, people, nation" from Vulgar Latin linguaticum; "tongue," from Latin lingua, see here. ~6: History of the word ‘poet’ ~6: The ’pepeha’ is a Maori way to introduce yourself.

The department of basic education is on track with its preparations for the largest ever matric exams, which start on November 5. For the first time in the country’s history, more than 1 million candidates will sit for the exams. This is because they are combined exams that will also cater for candidates who were meant to sit for the May/June exams, which were cancelled after the country went into lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I recorded that section about the riots of ’92 one week before the May-June protests in 2020. Pandemic, economic collapse, police brutality… Three horsemen of the apocalypse are quite enough, thank you.” *** That’s a quote from the novel I’m podcasting, you can listen at the end of post. Lena…

Tennis champion Rafa Nadal recently beat Novak Djokovic at the French Open to win his world record equalling 20th Grand Slam. He is a sportsman that I really admire. Not just because of his success (which is phenomenal!) but because of the way that he prepares to play. This year was, of course, different. With the event unable to take place in its usual slot in the Grand Slam calendar, the French Open took place in autumn. The weather conditions were very different to those usually prevalent in Paris in May/June. In addition, some of Nadal’s matches happened in the early hours of the morning. It was cold and windy and the bounce on the ball was not what he was used to during this tournament. In the face of those trying conditions, Nadal adapted so well that he didn’t lose a single set on the way to the final and went on to win, again, in three sets against his big rival, Novak Djokovic - one set fewer than any previous French Open final between the pair. One of the things that also sets Nadal apart is his extensive use of rituals, which must have had a part to play in his French Open success. Everything needs to be in place for him before a match. From the cold shower he always has to ground himself to the way he gets prepared in the dressing room, wraps the tape around his racket to which sock he will put on first. These very precise rituals give him an anchor and stability from the outset. He is primed to win. How does this apply to us? Developing these anchoring rituals is particularly valuable during these difficult times. I know from my own experience that good mornings tend to lead to better days, because I have morning anchoring rituals of my own. What morning rituals could help you? Each morning pre shower, I ask myself the following questions (which I call ‘GRELPC’) : a. What am I GRATEFUL for? (e.g. gratitude for still being alive.) b. When was I last RESILIENT? (e.g. responding to the challenges brought by Covid-19.) c. What am I most EXCITED about? (e.g. the launch of Enterprise Sales Club and working with Rob, the Partners and the Ambassadors.) d. Whom do I LOVE? (e.g. my family, my children and I remember my Mum and the unconditional love that she gave me.) e. What am I most PROUD of? (e.g. continuing to get better every day and trying to serve my clients even better than I ever have before.) f. What am I most COMMITTED to? (e.g. positively impacting 20,000 careers and building a community. More than that; to show my children how to build a community that is profitable and successful and human centric. This will mean that they won’t have to rely on working in a corporate environment and will be able to do that whenever they want to, and have the life they want whilst giving back and looking after people.) What could you incorporate into your morning routine that would benefit you throughout the day: If this kind of morning routine does not sound like something that would work for you, here are some other ideas that may resonate: ● Getting out for an early morning walk before you start the day; ● Writing morning pages - three pages of unconscious writing that help you structure your thoughts for the day; ● High intensity exercise; or ● Connecting with a human being (and that could very well be yourself) before connecting to the digital world. Do you have a morning routine? If so, I would be curious to hear what works for you. Enterprise Sales Club is now LIVE at https://www.enterprisesalesclub.com.

Bryan loves his viral rants. There is a class action lawsuit against the LAPD after someone was hit in the family jewels by a non-lethal round during the riots in May & June. The poison ricin was sent in an envelope to the White House. The Emmy's were tonight and well they weren't funny at all. How prepared is California for an economic crisis? There's been a whole bunch of EDD fraud if that tells you anything. And of course, the winner of "Have you seen a free couch?"

In 1911 an exhausted man emerged from the wilderness north of Oroville, California. He was discovered to be the last of the Yahi, a people who had once flourished in the area but had been decimated by white settlers. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Ishi's sad history and his new life in San Francisco. We'll also consider the surprising dangers of baseball and puzzle over a forceful blackout. Intro: Director Chuck Jones laid out nine rules to govern Road Runner cartoons. James Cook's third expedition to the Pacific discovered a surprising amusement in Hawaii.

In this September energy update and energy forecast we look at the collective and ascension energy for September. For those who are on the awakening and ascension journey in September we are entering the Void of Creation and Confronting Codependency, it is a month to have faith and be a Sacred Fool.I have been sensing September will be a big month for the collective since the end of May. In our June energy forecast we said it looked like we were going to be in for a “September surprise.” That possibility/probability grows more likely with each day.September is going to be the most transformative month of the year thus far, which is saying a lot. In some ways it feels reminiscent of March of this year, in that it feels like the collective is stepping into a creative void where people will have an opportunity to create many different realities. The reality you create will be a reflection of your state of consciousness. Will your creation be born of fear or faith?Though I’m not an astrologer I felt called to look at what is going on astrologically for September.Currently Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in a stationary position.Mars goes direct September 1st and will be in retrograde from September 9th-October 1st. Jupiter is currently direct and will be retrograde from September 1st-September 13th.Saturn will be in retrograde from September 1st-September 29th, and direct from September 29th through October 1st.As some of you will know when a planet is in retrograde its power is concentrated and it activates the planet’s corresponding qualities in our consciousness. Mars is quick, decisive, and restless. It loves freedom and acting independently. It can also be argumentative, aggressive, and violent.Jupiter embodies mental and spiritual fire and activates attraction to spiritual thought, spiritual interests, and love of freedom tempered by compassion and justice. This planet is often associated with the guru or spiritual teacher.Saturn is associated with restriction, sorrow, and limitation. One with a dominant Saturn in their chart will be more inclined to trust material realities than luck or god.Additionally, Rahu (Northern Node of the Moon) is moving from Gemini to Taurus. The last time Rahu was in Taurus was in 2002, after the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center. While in Gemini Rahu has created mental confusion. There has been a desire to know the truth of what is going on in our collective, but an inability to do so. As Rahu goes into Taurus thinking will become much more practical and grounded, and less lost in abstract speculation.Additionally, Ketu (Southern Node of Moon) is moving into Scorpio, which causes the collective to rally around structure, comfort and stability. The last time this happened was also in 2002, when the United States created the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to make people feel safe. This was a trend that was seen around the world, as populations rallied around restrictive measures to increase their sense of safety and stability. So astrologically we are entering a period in September reminiscent of 2001-2002, which aligns with what I have been feeling intuitively since May/June of this year.On the collective level it looks like there will be a movement toward action and abuse of power by those with established strength. There is a high probability that those aligned with established strength will be using their power to re-assert dominance by tricking the collective into giving them more power.Out of fear and a desire for security the collective as a whole is likely to fall for whatever those with established power have planned. However, there will be even fewer than there were in 2001-2002 who buy into the offered narrative.For most of us choice has meant deciding whether we prefer milk or cream in your coffee. In September and in the coming months and years choice will be about what you choose to do when the table holding the coffee, milk and cream is turned upside down.Those who will be listening to this energy forecast are to some degree no longer identified with consensus reality and are on the cutting edge of consciousness. So the guidance for you is different. The fool energy is strong in the month of September. Many who are identified with consensus reality will be hoodwinked due to their naivete. But there is also the opportunity to embody the energy of the sacred fool and magician. There is an opportunity to be foolishly optimistic even when things look like they are at their worst. There is an opportunity to transmute apparent hardship into blessing.When your world gets turned upside down look for the hidden gift. Maybe it is just outside of your sight. What do you truly long for? In the void of creation live with spontaneity, innocence, and trust.In the midst of chaos move your awareness to the perspective of witnessing awareness and watch it all unfold with curiosity and expect miracles. With a sense of curiosity and wonder know that it is all unfolding for your highest good. Be optimistic and in a state of wonder and gratitude, even in the midst of apparent hardship.I’ll give you an example of how this energy is playing out in my life. A few weeks ago I felt called to go to Sedona, Arizona. I’ve never been but felt a strong calling to go. So I started looking at airplane tickets and accommodations. Eventually I talked myself out of it because I didn’t want to go alone, and it felt irresponsible given the pandemic.A week later I got an email from a friend inviting me to join him and a few others for a trip to Sedona in mid-September, during the same period I had been looking at. I immediately recognized this for the positive synchronicity it was and said yes. So I will be in Sedona in mid-September in the midst of what will likely be a chaotic month.This is me playing the role of the sacred fool, living in a place of curiosity and expecting miracles. Why is god calling me to Sedona? I don’t know…but I’m looking forward to finding out. I’m in complete trust that come what may it will be for my highest good.The seed of a new beginning and prosperous venture is being planted in September. It is a decision point. Will you choose light or dark? Will you choose hope or despair? Will you choose trust or suspicious? Have faith in the benevolence of the universe and trust that god is conspiring in favor of your highest good.Concentrate on your own mental and spiritual clarity. Allow yourself to be innocent and pure. Allow the sword of truth to sever all that is false and binding.A final note is for those who are in codependent relationships. The sword of truth is coming down hard in those relationships in September. Set clear boundaries. Do not allow your emotional and spiritual state to be dominated by another’s fears, injury and limitation. The spiritual path is between you and god. We are all on separate elevators. We can try holding hands with others who are nearby. But when the time comes for your elevator to rise more quickly than those around you, you have to decide whether to slow down, whether they can speed up, or whether you need to let go.

And thanks so much for joining with us today. Anna Champagne 0:41 Thanks, Brandon. It's great to be here. Just so you know, sauna. I like that. Brandon Handley 0:49 Got it. Got it. Thanks. So now I'm gonna have to fix that throughout the entire way. I'm on a one of the things that I feel pretty strongly about is that When we communicate on these podcasts and when we have these conversations, there's somebody out there that needs to hear something through us and we're simply here as a you know, divine vessels call it what you will right? Call what you want but I think that somebody is tuned in today that needs to hear what from you like they need to hear this somebody needs to hear this what is it Unknown Speaker 1:31 basically Anna Champagne 1:34 that they're loved and that they can live a path of beauty You know, that's what I'm kind of live myself and share and and it just becomes a rich life and it really isn't spiritual or regular mundane or any of it. It's all one life. So the more we kind of, you know, just bring that all together and then it's really rich and colorful and beautiful. Brandon Handley 1:58 I love it. I love it. So it's not that they're not segmented life pieces for you. It's all one holistic life. Anna Champagne 2:06 Yeah. And I'm still like everyone, you know, feels deeply you know that. And I do agree with you what you're saying, because that was my prayer even before coming on. I said, you know, it's not about me, it's about you know, how I can touch someone or, you know, and I pray, can I say the words that someone is needing to hear tonight, so you know, so that was perfect. Brandon Handley 2:29 I love it. I love it. Perfect. So, you know, it looks like we've got the right person on here. One thing I do want to touch on that I know we had a little precursor conversation, you know, I caught that you studied with like Gregg Braden, Byron, and some of these other people, you know, can be a little bit about that. Right? I love these are some people that are new, newer to my life, right, but I love them. What was like one of the favorite courses or someplace that you studied with that? That was exciting for you? Um, Anna Champagne 2:58 oh, they're all wonderful. The path. Byron Katie was great. You know, I was a transformational breath facilitator and trainer, and this was the early days, but even before she became more famous, you know, she had written her first book. And we used to bring her, you know, to our trainings or to our city or even we had our first breath cruise, and we were doing breath work. And then we brought Katie along and she was teaching some things and then every night after dinner, you know, she would just show up and work with us. And, and to this day, whenever I see her, you know, and I haven't seen her in a while, but every time she says hello, Angel, and I just feel like she sees me. Fantastic. Brandon Handley 3:39 Yeah. When you say we in that, what are you who's that inclusive of? Anna Champagne 3:44 Um, that's when I was doing transformation breathing years ago, Brandon Handley 3:50 okay, that's not something you're doing right now. So much of Anna Champagne 3:52 it's it's part of me, but now I've kind of, you know, well, we'll get into it all what I'm doing, but I'm Kind of branding my own color healing system and silks and also right Brandon Handley 4:05 right so I mean yeah that I mean that that is your that is your that is what I see you doing right now that's what you presented to me you're doing textile you're doing color healing. Oh you were introduced to me by our mutual friend Mark Youngblood as a color healer. I was super intrigued about that. While I read a little bit about what you have to say in there. You know, tell us a little bit about what color healing is. Anna Champagne 4:30 Well, it's it's actually a vibrational energy healing modality. And, you know, I'm blessed to be able to as a fiber artist, I campaign on cilex campaign hand dye, and through decades of, you know, working with people and seeing what the silks do in their energy field and the specific colors like you know, like the ones I have on, I just come to see how the frequencies of light color work in our own hands. energy field and affect us and I especially work more in the emotional realm. Because, you know, of course, color affects us emotionally and as a sensitive an empath, and you know, as many people are there, you know, even people that don't think there was sensitive are, you know, so that's why color is just so important and impactful. And now when we consciously use it, we can really heal like old emotional patterns, we can raise our vibration, we can direct it for specific uses. So I'm really blessed that I get to, you know, paint and die and be immersed in color and then you know, share it with others and then and then teach it. Brandon Handley 5:47 I love that. So the colors that you're wearing today, what are they? What do they bring to me vibrationally Anna Champagne 5:53 Well, most people have heard of like Archangel Michael. And with my color healing system. It's based on like the rays of God. Consciousness so it's kind of a very spiritual at the core. And there's these divine qualities as embodied by the archangels and angels so most people have heard of Archangel Michael and we think protection but it's also focus and will and faith. And each Archangel has their divine feminine counterpart called an RPI. So with Archangel Michael it's archiv faith. So faith is a real tangible energy to so. So for me and also, you know, blues are healing you know, they're like water, they're calming. So for me doing something like this, you know, it keeps me a little focused and it's very calming to Brandon Handley 6:44 fantastic. I'm glad I'm wearing blue then to stay focused a little bit. Right. Now, I love that you mentioned to like, you know, that you've got kind of this Archangel as part of your story. Right. Let's talk a little bit about that. Right. So how does how does how did you leave archangels and angels into your path. Anna Champagne 7:03 I'm just on my spiritual path. I think I knew of Archangel Michael and things because I've been on my spiritual path most of my life and knew of Archangel Michael and especially when I was actually a young mother and this is before I got on my spiritual path about 20 years ago where I learned more in depth about the archangels and all and if anyone knows about that, you know, young mother new mother just worried and you know, and, and for me being an empath and sensitive you know, I would get like open to any thought of like any fearful thought I would feel it like so much through my body, it was just hard to deal with. So luckily, I knew of Archangel Michael and then when I started calling to them, I can actually help kind of smooth down and that anxiety and fear and then I came to help others, you know, help other, you know, mothers and just other people, you know, with that as well. And now over decades, you know, he's just, I can't I don't think any of us could really be here without Archangel Michael, whether you call him by name or now or anything here to help us on the path, Brandon Handley 8:12 you know, if somebody is not that's a terrible way to say Archangel Li, you know, aligned, what are some other kind of spiritual resonance that they might have? If so, like you said, if they don't know them is Archangel Michael, what else might they call him or that presence? Unknown Speaker 8:34 Um, Anna Champagne 8:36 I think a lot of people are aware of or interested in angels. And even when I was, you know, writing my first color healing article, and actually one of my other great mentors is Jacob Lieberman. He wrote light medicine of the future and take off your glasses and see and I studied with him, you know, years ago a lot and he's just one of my greatest mentors. was I going with that? Oh, so when I was writing the article, I wanted to create kind of an overview of things. And you know, didn't talk about the archangels too much because really color on its own and the frequencies of color can support us whether we, we connect with the angels or you know, call to them or use them consciously, but they are here to co create with us and help support us, right in a big way. And actually, my daughter who grew up with all this and you know, is just knows me the best, you know, at one point she says, Oh, Mom, you can't you can't take the angels out. That's your brand. That's who you are. You can't separate you from the angels. Nice. But I can you know, talk about color to just as we know, I Brandon Handley 9:49 think I think that you know, my question was definitely more aligned to other spiritual modalities right of Archangel Michael right. So if if I'm coming Going from a shamanistic background or just some other type of esoteric background, right? What would you would you align it to something else in those spaces? Anna Champagne 10:13 I wouldn't but people that don't have the wording might, you know, call them spirit guides or something like that? I don't really I'd like to be more specific with the as I know the different things but even you know, I have friends in shamanism and they also teach angels because it's just a different aspect of you know, frequencies and energies and you know, beings and all that so Unknown Speaker 10:41 I appreciate that. Yeah, Brandon Handley 10:42 like I said, I'm, I'm not well versed in angels, right. And so, but I do understand spirit guide, right. So you know, if if I'm running around and I'm trying to feel something and it's hard for me to again, mentally pull On an angel vibe, right right, then I might be able to pull on some others your spiritual guide God type of thing, right? So Anna Champagne 11:07 the way that I could talk about it, you know, I did shows, you know, body mind spirit, Whole Health, new life and boutique shows all kinds of things for many decades. And I would have like, you know, just all these soaks, you know, in my booth, and people would come in and I always want to empower people. So even if I knew like one that would be advantageous for them, I would always say, well, which color are you most drawn to? And then they would go and usually they would really go right to one that they would feel good in and they try it on and they feel something even if they thought you know, I don't I'm not sensitive or anything they they always are, they really can feel it and then I would put on another one that maybe was even a similar color. And they would go oh my goodness, I can tell the difference. Wow. Are they put on one that's really a contrast and what go wow, that feels even different. Sure, and then people can see that. So, really, for me, the key part is, you know, healing our trapped emotions and those emotional energies that are, you know, the sadness, grief. I mean, we're human. So we have all those things. But I know we feel better usually when it's joy and love and those kind of things. So when we take those things that are actually blocking our energy, they're not good or bad, but they can become trapped in blocker energy. So when we're healing that and then they have that flow of energy from God goddess, all that is whatever you call it, your higher self, you know, I call it my presence or that presence, so So when you're healing that and raising your vibration, my goal is really to help people connect with their highest wisdom and their highest self. Unknown Speaker 12:51 So Anna Champagne 12:53 and that's, that's really cool. I think most of you want to be most connected with Brandon Handley 12:58 Sure, sure. I thought, you know, it's Because, you know, I was actually having this thought earlier that you said, you know, it's not necessarily about you, when you enter into the show, it's like kind of what can you do in service of but yeah, on it, it is about you, right? It is about you connecting with your highest self and just being in that space for a moment and just accepting that nobody needs anything from you, but you've got someone that you're willing to give. Right. You know, let's talk a little bit more about the angel part though, because they're, you know, like I said, I was able to listen to one podcast that you were interviewed on earlier and you've got this amazing, kind, amazing Angel story. Once you just kind of shares sure that part. Anna Champagne 13:43 I do and I actually have my good old Angel book that I was actually visiting a friend I live in Florida now and I was in New England visiting friend and went to my car to get NINJA book and so Someone actually tried to kill me she was mentally unstable. I didn't know her, but she was known to people and, you know, without going into this story, but still someone tried to find me over with a car. Wow. And because of it, I was hit by the car. But as I was walking, I just was like looking down. And it's like, what's going on with my ankle or my leg, you know, and then before I knew, and I just was like, kind of falling or whatever, but really ended up hitting the ankle and shattered my ankle and foot and left leg and all that. And afterwards, I you know, and I've had, you know, surgeries, and I mean, it was, it was quite a karmic thing. Quite a big deal in my life and in a real healing journey that came from it. But when I asked friends like on my spiritual path, I said, How could this have happened, you know, I'm so devout are just so connected and spiritual. And they said, it's because of that, that the angel saved your life. Hmm. And I'm getting chills even telling you that because I just feel it's so true. And I vowed to all my healing journey to help people in whatever way I can what I learned through all the healing that I did through it, but they really did save my life. Brandon Handley 15:18 I get it. So um, you know, you mentioned that you've been on the spiritual path pretty much your entire life. And so you already had this vibrational awareness right? You already had this holistic awareness and once you got involved with fabrics and colors, it wasn't a simple transition for you into the vibrational colors. Anna Champagne 15:46 Well, yes and no, I mean, it was one of those being sensitive and you know, sometimes feeling really lonely even if a family are feeling different, as many people describe often and just Just getting into, you know, loving being in nature or writing poetry or doing things, you know, different things like that. And just just feeling like the search. So even when I was little, I would, you know, go to the library and search even when I was little for certain things, you know, along the way. So, so it's kind of just been a journey, like many people, you know, you know, pursue this pursue that, you know, learn about this, see how it feels, you know, and, and then just keep growing that way. So it wasn't, you know, and it's not like my parents were all conscious. And, you know, we grew up the main girl, and then that kind of thing. So they weren't holistic in the least, and they still aren't. But even through that, I realized through the years, especially as I'm learning things, and you're all excited to share with your family and help them and, you know, they're like, thank you, but you know, believe what you believe or not interested. Yeah, the greatest thing I learned, especially with my dad was The greatest thing we could do for healing for someone was to love them unconditionally. Sure. And it didn't matter. All those differences. Brandon Handley 17:10 Right. Right. Now listen, I mean, when I first had, you know, what I would classify as an awakening experience, not wanting to run around, and I guess I guess that's, I guess that's kind of the whole the gospel part of the gospel thing. You've got to hear this good news. Why don't I tell them all about this? wait a year round? This Unknown Speaker 17:28 is awesome. Um, and, Brandon Handley 17:31 yeah, it's not everybody's path. Right? It's not everybody's path. But it's still it's, you know, I guess when you're vibing. So hard, right. It's like, What do you mean, you don't see it this way? And how can you not feel this way? And why wouldn't you go down this path? And like you said, it's when we just step back and love them, unconditionally? who they are the way they are right now. Yeah. can't do much more than that, right? Anna Champagne 18:01 What's tills? True? And you know, to answer more of your question. I went to school for English and weaving because I started weaving when I was about 16. And I was always doing kind of crafts and things and knitting and crochet and all that because my mother grandmother, so even when I was in textile school, for my BFA in textiles and fiber, I, you know, I started then I actually painted on really fine silk threads and wove them into scarves and shawls and will wall pieces, please. And yet, I was still gathering, you know, all the spiritual books and I was starting to get some books on color and chakras and different things like that. But I didn't read most of them years later. And the reason I realized was because I had to kind of develop my own sense of it, of the color and kind of learn it from within a little bit more of the code. So one time I remember when I was you know, I I think I was starting to, you know, maybe it was after I was at a school. And I was just questioning, you know, that format of the scarves and shawls. And then I opened one of those books and it said, Yeah, you want to wear the silks over your throat and heart chakras and I'm like, okay, that's the answer. And you know, so I still kind of use that that form of the silks and the shawls I mean, the scarves in the shells Brandon Handley 19:26 when you say that form the you mean by put it over your chakras? Anna Champagne 19:31 Yeah, I was just in one of those color healing books. It kind of answered that that it's really advantageous a lot of times to where over your throat or your heart Brandon Handley 19:40 Alright, so when you're when you're when you were starting your spiritual journey picking up all these books, what kind of books were you picking up? Like? What was what was the opening of the doors for you? I guess as it were, Anna Champagne 19:53 um, there's been so many through the years I do collect wisdom Brandon Handley 19:58 right right there in the beginning, right. So I mean, you're you're picking up all these books, you hadn't quite read them, but they were of interest to you Anna Champagne 20:04 somewhere the color healing somewhere. Well, even earlier, you know, when I was 16 I was meditating at a friend's house because her parents were into Edgar Casey, airy, and all that. So, you know, I had my first and then and then when we were in Boston, I actually, you know, my then husband and I, we went to his son or I think grandson, we went to a workshop and thing, were part of that for a while, and then it always comes full circle that I wasn't into it for years. And then I was, you know, going to some conferences a few years ago and even speaking at a conference and Kevin Tedeschi who's the, you know, the head guy at the Aerie now and wrote all the books on so he's kind of a friend now too. So it's so interesting and yeah, it was it was all kinds of things. Or they you know, I mean, sometimes it was healing some obscure things like fear of, like fears and aliens and you know like I remember with Gregg Braden, I've healed a big piece of that, you know? Unknown Speaker 21:18 Tell me about that. Yeah. Yeah, that Anna Champagne 21:21 was interesting. Um, it was funny because I was one of the last people at his you know, the workshop for that day and we were at this conference center or somewhere and I was like in a dorm and I remember we were talking it was years ago you know, decades ago when you know, he's gone through different things that he's taught Sure. And some of it was bringing up like so much fear about you know, the some of the alien you know energies and and they're all frequency now they're all different vibrations so and then my my roommate didn't show up so like all night I'm like, you know, all afraid this, you know, sheets up and I had to go deeper within and then and then through it. I just I really did heal it. And now I say, you know, the same aliens that are more than negative ones that, you know, maybe want to, you know harm or they're just a lower vibration. Sure they can't touch me anymore because it's so that was just part of like the healing on the journey that I went through. So now you know and then there's other ones like I heart, you know connect with the Pleiadians and then I do paintings that were pleading and writing so, so it was pretty diverse. Brandon Handley 22:35 Interesting. I love that I love it. I love what you did there too with um, you know, translating harm into just recognizing that the third a lower vibration, right? It is not like I like that too. Right? So that that's interesting for sure. So you've been living this life fairly steeped in spirituality. All right. Yeah, and I can't remember now already, if we talked about the beginning or not, but like, integrating Yeah, we started at the beginning, but like integrating all the whole has certainly been a challenge for me. You know, trying to say, Oh, this is this is my spiritual self. This is what I do when I'm being spiritual. And this is what I do and, you know, all these other spaces. Can you talk a little bit about, you know, practical spiritual integration? Well, so, you know, what's that mean to you? If I say something I asked you that. Anna Champagne 23:31 Yeah. Well, that's what I really love teaching and helping people with, you know, and I'm still going through it myself. I'm constantly hitting things that come up for me and then having, you know, using different tools to heal like some of the emotional patterns and things like that. But, um, I think it's just, I think one of the biggest thing is really healing being present to what comes up and not judging it. So You know, and that's what I learned especially from Katie you know, Byron Katie, you know, you take those judgments you take that anger you take that fear, you know, whatever it is and and then you investigate and then you can you know, go deeper and especially, you know when you you see it's just kind of a projection to like wearing me like I'm angry at that person but really, where's that pattern in me and then when you so so if you keep bringing it back to yourself in a gentle way because you never want to be hard on yourselves because like I know that pattern and right so it's, it's it's just and I have seen you you know, I watched your you know, your dad podcast thing or you know, whatever that was. And even if you I mean, and I don't know you so well, you know, but just the love that and just the the way you were showing up with your son I mean, I'm getting emotional because I was sent to and I was daughter but It touched me because you're just present. And you're asking him his experience. And then you're sweeping in a little, you know, teaching to be a good person or to just just weaving in those nuggets of goodness, Brandon Handley 25:16 you try, right? Well, you know, listen in here, you know, for what it's worth. You know, my mom was a, you know, so I was born in San Francisco in the late 70s. So, that's an indicator of where I came from. I always taught like, the awareness always taught, like these kind of life lessons. And they were definitely seeds, right, because they were, they were falling on fallow ground or whatever, whatever. And it wasn't until later, when they all just kind of sprouted and honestly, when I talked about going through that experience, kind of the awakening experience, it was like all at the same time, like everything she was talking about, just like, there it is. And so that's all you know, I feel like I can try and do with the kids right on my boys and just have those conversations. Not force it on them, but give them those seeds. Right. And, you know, if it's some I feel like at some point in their lives, though, they'll turn around and dust off will sprout up Anna Champagne 26:12 exactly like with my son, he would, you know, like roll his eyes like I just want to be normal know, he's at times you know cutting out these little swords and you know things of and you know connecting with you know, he'll deny a lot of it now but you know, but he's such a good person you know, this really is so Brandon Handley 26:33 well i think what we were saying earlier it's everyone's on their own path, right? I don't I mean, I don't think I have a Bible or have ever read more than the six pages in a Bible. But we can really try and do is be good shepherds, right of these souls or whatever. Um, but this is about you. So we're back to you now. And so what would be like a couple tools I love you gave kind of the one example is like look for that within yourself, right that's causing that or is a part of you? Right? What what, where's that irritation that's party? You know, I saw I saw a little line today that I really like to as it relates to emotions. I'd love to hear your feedback on this is there's emotional control. Right, which is I think a very Western actually I think every culture has emotional control, right? versus emotional expression. Mm hmm. How would you differentiate those two things because I feel like you would have a good, good way to do that. Anna Champagne 27:33 I call it really a path of emotional mastery. Hmm. Because it's not just trying to control how you're feeling because the pattern will come up, you know, it'll just keep coming up until we deal with things. And now you know, globally where we've had an experience of something big happening globally, where we're going you know, sheltering in place home, you know, a lot of fear a lot of uncertainty on These kind of things, and I still just see it as, like the greatest gift because we can't bring in what I call a golden age without bringing to light those patterns. So it's not just about expression, you know, I think, you know, because we're always creating and we're always expressing whether it's expressing love or expressing anger, you know, or sadness, you know, it's expression but it's when it when we feel like that underlying like, we call it kind of miss qualified pattern. So like, say we haven't, oh, like, like, you know, say we have an experience and it's, you know, really overwhelming or traumatic or anything. And things get and we might not even know how to process it at the moment or deal with it. And then and but then it starts coloring everything we do in life. And then, but usually we can tell by how we're feeling, you know, if we're having Are were not so happy, that's usually an indicator how we're feeling and work with thing. Brandon Handley 29:07 And that kind of addresses the, again expression versus control, like, because we were talking earlier too about, you know, locating that feeling, right? The anger or the frustration if we go to suppress that or redirect it, is that really healing it or addressing it? Right and and i think that that's, personally that's what I've done to try to emotionally master or control right redirect. But I feel like there's would be a another way to express that because I don't want to hold on to that energy like that. Right. So Unknown Speaker 29:47 what would you say there? Anna Champagne 29:50 You can tell by when you say go back to a memory that was really painful. And you know, so you did And this is where I say the violet ray you know of trance transformation transmutation, you know, taking that same God energy as I talked about, and then transmuting it like freeing up the, you know, whatever traumatic emotions are there, and then it's kind of at the core, and then we can recollect it or we can use it for what we want. And it really comes back to our intention to what we really want to create in our life. Yeah, so the stronger our positive intentions, those things will just naturally come up. And if it just ends, they'll just keep coming up until we like pay attention or we might get sick or, you know, just just so unhappy or whatever it is. So, but, but there's also a way to do it. It's good to just start being aware of what you're feeling or how you're feeling in your body. But another way to do it, too, is to keep focusing on the higher vibrational states or what you do want to create because that'll just automatically start in training up. It's just entrainment, you know, physics of training that lower vibrational state into that higher vibrational state. And that's kind of what I call a lot of the path of beauty or even, you know, working with those divine qualities. You can just and actually, that's another tool to you know, you can have a state and then do affirmations and crease, things like that you can actually raise the vibration of that pattern. Brandon Handley 31:32 I like that. I like that. Unknown Speaker 31:34 I feel like Unknown Speaker 31:38 you know, Brandon Handley 31:40 raising your vibrational state through affirmations, and gratitude. I think a lot of people look at that as purely mental exercise. What do you say to that? Anna Champagne 31:56 It's not like we're using our mind because we're choosing to and it's what we're giving power to. So if we're saying you know, like I am the presence or I am you know, whatever we want to put after saying I am affirmation You know, there's you know, with the law of attraction, all that kind of stuff if you're if you're saying something that you don't believe then that'll even cause more resistance. You know, I'm a millionaire and you're you know, you got three cents in your bank account Well, that's gonna it's not gonna resonate, but if you can get in touch with the energy of it, you know, like it's it's feeling into it really. I think more so but but you do use your mind and your thoughts Brandon Handley 32:43 talking to more about feeling into it, though. Anna Champagne 32:51 I think it comes down to getting more harmonious no matter you know what color you're using, or what Whatever tool you're using, if you're still agitated, then it's not really working. So if you can feel more harmonious, calm, you know, the breath is a really important thing to kind of stop that fight or flight, you know, just using the breath, and then just start feeling more calm. Then, then when you say, when you say an affirmation or things something or, um, or want to access, you know, just want to just x more peacefulness or happiness or, you know, whatever it is it you'll just, it'll, you'll feel it. But you're not going to feel it if you're all agitated, you know. And so, you know, it's like, it's like the analogy of, you know, the parent who's got the baby, and they're just like, just come down Baby, you know, like they're, you know, I never can understand that. You know, But But I learned that you know, years ago so that's where we always taught the parents first, you know, read to become, you know, if you're lying with your child at night, you know, rubbing their backs as you're breathing. Because if you're all you know, stressful, they're going to feel it. Yeah. Brandon Handley 34:19 One of the coolest feelings to write when you're going to sleep but I missed I missed the miss my kids you know when they're just growing up you can just kind of fall asleep with them on your chest right? Yeah, yeah, love that. Love that miss it. Like where they are now though. It's okay. So, you know, are you still traveling with your art shows? Are you still doing that? Like? Anna Champagne 34:42 Nobody shows anymore? Sometimes by invitation, you know, a few things, but mostly I'm switching over online. Okay. And teaching courses online and things like that. Brandon Handley 34:54 Right? When you were out of curiosity, right. So just for anybody that's kind of interested in The type of work that you're doing and would be thinking about doing it themselves. How would they kind of get involved in the community that you were involved with? With the art shows and textiles? Anna Champagne 35:14 Well, it's really an art. I mean, it's decades of lifetimes Actually, I've done this in many lifetimes. It's, you know, um, it's going with what interests you, too, you know, I mean, mostly, I'm selling the silks that they're using, you know, in their meditations or just everyday wear or even you know, you know, that's why I sell a lot to men as well as women you know, to wear because they carry that tangible vibration. So it makes it easier to access those states and things. But, you know, sometimes I have taught some of the, you know, I used to teach weaving I used to teach shabari and which is a dyeing technique. You know, I do love, you know, doing a lot of that stuff. But, you know, an easy way is just watercolor paints or you know, even even coloring on dollars, you know, that can just get you in a, you know, working with color and with pencils or markers or things like that, or, or just even watercolor, you know, it doesn't even have to be a form. It could just be working with the paint like that if you're talking about doing something that's more artistic or if that's what you're kind of asking. Brandon Handley 36:33 That's definitely one part right kind of getting into the art itself, but the shows right? I'm sure you invited to him because you were great at what you were doing. But like also, if somebody else was like, what types of shows were you featured in so that somebody if they saw them, they'd be able to go and kind of find out more of themselves? Anna Champagne 36:52 The shows, I mean, I was in the high end crashes when I first got out of college and was, you know, doing those handpainted handball Then Yeah. And then I had galleries around the country. And then when I got into still just painting on silks and doing like transformational breath work and being a trainer, then I was in like New York and Boston. I'm from New England. So I would do like Whole Health, new life, body mind spirit, you know, a lot of those kind of shows. Brandon Handley 37:20 Okay. I've never heard of those shows before. So I mean, that's interesting. Yeah. And Anna Champagne 37:24 it's still go on, um, you know, some of them anyway. Brandon Handley 37:28 Yeah. That's interesting, too. I mean, I guess a New England part of, you know, what was the new age? Unknown Speaker 37:35 birthing spot, right. I mean, am I wrong? Anna Champagne 37:39 I don't know. I think California's where you grew up is pretty cool. I mean, Brandon Handley 37:45 I think I think that, you know, I think of I'm trying to think of who was the press, you know, the press company that came out with the kind of the New Age movement, right, um, Anna Champagne 37:57 dress or no, Brandon Handley 37:59 I can't really remember off the top of my head, but it's just interesting to see that there's still a vibrant spiritual community from there, right in that space. So I think that that's pretty interesting. You did. So you mentioned you mentioned your course and your shops. I wanted to bring that up too. So talk to us a little bit about the the course offering that you have right now online. Anna Champagne 38:20 Yeah, it's an eight week online course it's called color healing for a vibrant abundant life seven steps to heal what's holding you back and increase your flow of abundance and that's those kind of seven spiritual colors, you know, those rays and you actually get a set of seven, you know, solid color sticks with it, it needs you know, once a week for eight weeks, you know, an online student class and then you have a portal with the meditations, affirmations, you know, the class content you know, more you know, all of it, but it's really meant to be for busy people. You know, everyone's really busy in life and you don't i don't want to make this Like this heavy like something they just not do or else feel so overwhelmed. So that's what's cool about you know, with with the silks because you just wear them you know through the week like each week we're learning about one color. So like for example like the solid color you know we've got the golden yellow or you know pink or you know the blues violets you know these solid colors, and you wear them during class and wear them during your meditations and the meditations tend to be seven to nine minutes maybe and just get you in touch with the divine qualities even archangels but more of the divine qualities of the color and just get you and then wearing them. It helps you know to tangibly feel so it's because there's silk has the highest vibration of fiber. The very pure colors are frequencies and you know, if you think White is like all colors, you know, of light You know, ones additive and subtractive whether it's you know, crayons, or paints versus light, and then, you know, it's easy to think, you know, the prism and the rainbow, you know, it's broken up in those frequencies. Sure. So, um, yeah, so it's, it's really, it's, it's fun and it's, it's just a easy so going back to that, so the soaks have that highest vibration, and then the pure colors, those frequencies and then the energies that I'm kind of praying in or attending in. So that's what makes them where you can actually feel the energy. So it's an added tool to be able to wear them and start feeling the energies as you're as you're learning them Brandon Handley 40:50 about them. I mean, I love that right? Because I can I can feel the application right? You know, I can I can I can sense I get a good sense of have kind of how you would direct that. And I feel like that would be, that would be like it's beneficial, right? Anytime he's been, I think consciously tending to your vibrations. that's beneficial. So it sounds to me like that's kind of what you're doing is teaching people how to pay attention to their vibrations, right at what levels and then being able to associate them with specific colors, right, so that they can really just kind of hone in and have an anchor point. Anna Champagne 41:29 Right. So like, even with the emotion code, say we identify a trapped emotion, say it's grief. And it happened when you were 13. You know, and then, you know, we get shifted, but then you know, we'll put like a soft pink silk over and that'll like raise the vibration. So it's still really key for me to be healing those emotional patterns that are kind of blocking that flow of energy. Brandon Handley 41:52 So would you classify this more of a healing class? Yeah. Okay. I mean, I mean, look, that's great. Yeah. I mean I love it because it might just be a guy thing right? Or you know could just be a me thing I've never really kind of addressed this one but like you know we were taught to like you know, you fall down you dust off and you keep on going forward you know you don't really address the specific pains you just move forward you don't address the specific moments that cause you to no question 90% of your life you just keep moving forward right but if you do take a little bit of time and and heal those moments Anna Champagne 42:33 and you know, a lot of men do this, you know, as a spiritual path to I mean, a lot of men do have my silks too because they wear them for meditation. Tell me what are some favorite main colors? I mean, Brandon Handley 42:41 other than blue, what are some what are some what are some main colors? Anna Champagne 42:45 Some are the those turquoise is in blues and violets some sometimes, you know more the emerald green, but actually one of my first soaps that I made like decades ago when I'm My first shows ever did with them. There was this just big guy you know and he he got the most feminine so good made to that point with yell, you know pinks and yellows and actually I have a great story about that I was at a show one time, and a guy came and usually like I do have like these, um, you know, you might be able to see they have a pattern woven in there to card. And whereas like the this is just a sharp use, it's like smooth. So, you know, mostly guys tend to like the sharp use a smoother one, you know, because these can be a little more feminine. But there was a guy that he bought one that was in like a rose pain to fuchsia to a little violet, maybe maybe a little blue, and it was in a de card. And it was a very kind of, you know, society. Unknown Speaker 43:55 You weren't expecting him to pick it up. Anna Champagne 43:58 Yeah, but once you put it out And he had lost like, the love of his life. He lost his wife not too long before that, and he started to feel the energy. Right. And it started to heal with that pink. So he hung around the booth a lot and you know, just shared about his wife and you know, started the healing. But others, you know, like, I have a friend that commissioned some of the biggest like, meditation blankets, you know, they're huge. Um, and I do a half version that's like a meditation shawl. And this friend has a spiritual path and master and he meditates you know, many hours a day and he calls it like an energetic cocoon because that's another thing I didn't mention. It actually silk energetically insulates you too. And when you meditate in you know, certain colors. So, you know, it's, um, I was interviewed the other day and the guy was all wearing his pink shirt and stuff. So you know, it's time for the guys to be able to flame boy Right. Brandon Handley 45:00 Yeah, look, look, look, I mean, everybody can wear some colors and enjoy for sure. So, in your class, I'm just gonna you talk about like intentions, positive qualities and emotions. You've got some guided journaling, meditations, affirmations, you know, what types of answers, I'm just gonna kind of what types of meditations Could I look at in that class. Anna Champagne 45:23 They're, like I was saying there, they tend to be seven to nine minutes, I keep them fairly short, you know, growing into more of the meditations, but they're just meant to, um, interest introduce you to the colors, the qualities just kind of get in, and then they bring in some of the affirmations that you can use so it's, it's kind of like a guided one to educate you. And so that you can use it as a tool. So you know, something happens and you need to just use a certain color call us or an angel or whatever it is. You kind of have those tools and another and another, like, practical way to it doesn't have to be all about the silks although that is, you know, a big part of what I do Sure, like the Emerald Ray, it's all like think nature, you know, think the Verdun greens and, you know, it's getting big now doing earthing and you know, just Brandon Handley 46:19 tell me about everything. I have no idea. Anna Champagne 46:21 Oh, that's a great thing for people to know about, you know, I mean, think back on wood, barefoot as kids and running around in the summer, I mean, sure, you know, but beyond that, they've they've actually found that by connecting with the resonance of the earth, hmm, that it calms our nervous system and it decreases inflammation and does a lot of things like that. So I mean, they even have earthing mats and blankets and things you can have with, you know, your Brandon Handley 46:50 did see an earthing mat, right. So I was kind of curious about that, but I hadn't hadn't really linked it to I wasn't sure what the whole thing was. I hadn't gone too far into it. So the meditation They are, you know, to, to kind of impress upon the mind and give you, you know, pause the color modalities, right, tie that in with some affirmations. And I'm assuming the intentions kind of pull that all together as well. Anna Champagne 47:19 Yeah, and and, you know, like, white white rays associated with like intentions, like, you know, white is like all the colors so it's all possibilities and all potential. So think of like when we have an intention where we're impressing into that purity of just all possibilities. I love it also clarity, you know, because a lot of times we need clarity to be able to have an intention. We have to Brandon Handley 47:48 know clarity you listen, I mean, and that I think that's one of the challenges, right? You can't see two pictures at the same time, right? You can't You can't you know, you can't so you can't hold two pictures in your in your mind. Expect to clear outcome. Fair. Right. Guided journaling. I've never heard of doing guided journaling before. So, you know, what we get what we get in that? Anna Champagne 48:11 Oh, I think it's, it's just a process of getting, you know, things might start coming up and you want to just write about it just as you would journaling when I asked some questions, you know, or how do you feel about certain colors? Or how do you feel about the certain emotions, you know, because that's the other thing. Say you have fascination, then an antidote to get motivation is like glue, say, okay, so you can, you know, just so like one one way of through that healing journey, because you know, it's it's good to be able to, you know, write down things if people choose to and process how they're feeling and what's coming up or, or what they're experiencing, you know, and also to remember, not just what's coming up, like maybe some past things But also what they're experiencing because as we know, when we write it down, you know, a lot of times, especially those spiritual highs or things like that, it's like a dream, we kind of can forget about it, you know, so, so it's just guiding people with questions and things to you know, use how they want really, but like one student, she, when she got her set of silks there was Ruby was one of the colors and it actually made her angry, it agitated her, you know, because it was a kind of a red but it has more violet in it. And then in her journey of, you know, healing and growing and all that and by the end, she was wanting to find a color for her new office. And she ended up painting it this Ruby like luckily it was just one wall because that could be a lot, you know, sure in all the walls but but you know, there again, you know, when she was putting out there They're to our group and things. You know, in our Facebook group, it's like, What color? What color? Do you think I should you know, and always, I never want to tell someone, I want them to find it themselves. And it surprised me. And by the end, Ruby was so empowering for her. And she had come through so much to be able to speak our truth and heal some things and be empowered. And that's part of the Ruby quality to have this, like this laser beam of God. You know, that just those patterns that we can get stuck in, but then when we heal it, it's really empowering. So Brandon Handley 50:34 I love that. I love that. Absolutely. And then and then, like you said, two archangels are a big part of of everything that you do, but they're also part of the class that you teach. Right? Anna Champagne 50:48 Yeah. And I've been surprised because people, a lot of people don't know too much about the angels, angels, and they've really been loving hearing about them and learning and using them. So So that's been the feedback so far. Brandon Handley 51:02 I mean, I love I love that you're doing that. And just curious why you're surprised by Unknown Speaker 51:11 that there. Anna Champagne 51:14 I don't know, I guess because I just have lived with them so long that I just, you know, sometimes we take it for granted what we do know and things like that and, and a lot of the people I know, know of them, but, uh, yeah, I guess I've just been happy that they've really because I never want to push any like anything on anybody I want to, you know, it's part of the course. It's, it's, at first I wasn't sure how much it was going to be part of it. But then it's like, it's just so tied in, you know, with those divine qualities and, and the way that archangels work is you know, so you call to them for more compassion or more empowerment or motivation or killing truth. You know, abundance. They literally that's what their job is that they resonate at that specific frequency of that divine quality. And then they literally when they're asked to come because they have to be asked, they'll come and really stand right in your energy field and reinforce that pattern until you can kind of hold it for yourself. So they're really helpful. Unknown Speaker 52:30 I love it. No. Unknown Speaker 52:33 And I think that you hit on one of the things there. I know for me, Brandon Handley 52:39 I'm so used to my own language, right? I'm so used to what I speak, and I'm surrounded by people that, you know, it's not an echo chamber, but they understand me, right? It's like, Oh, well, you know, there's like, 20 of us here and all 20 of us know the same thing. So pretty sure everybody knows that. We tend to forget just how long it took us to get to this place right away. And then you know, like today, right? You're telling me about these. I'm taking notes. I'm like angels and you know, Archangel books, what would be what would be, you know? And since I'm saying that will be a book where somebody could kind of understand a little bit more about archangels and what you're talking about, they're calling them and seeing that vibration or feeling that vibration, Anna Champagne 53:22 do you have anything I'm working on the color healing book. Not withstanding, actually, this this book of the angels of love and light. My friend, Mario's Michael George wrote, or painted all the paintings and I actually got permission from him to use the images in my course and in my lectures and things nice. So on his website, which is my reuse, fine art calm, you can actually download for free you know, if you sign up for his email list, but he's very generous. You can actually download the book And I, you know, offered to my students, I tell them about it. And I think one of them said that it didn't come with the color photograph. So then you know, he has those that you can buy of these amazing artworks that he does. So that that's, that's a great book. Because there's, you know, there's different ones out there and they might have you know, different energies that they're, they're different, you know, there's different systems, there's different energy, so it's good to just kind of feel it out. Because if something doesn't feel right, with any book that you go to, there's just something that doesn't feel right. No, that that's just there's something in it that maybe isn't right for you. So Brandon Handley 54:43 that's fair. So you know, but there are books out there then that if somebody were to be interested in what you're talking about, I could definitely talk to it and you know, if they continue to be interested in the archangels and the colors and you know, they should head on over to your course. While we go ahead and mentioned your wedding go, they go to the course and where's they gonna find you to connect with you and other places? Anna Champagne 55:10 Yep. Well, one of my websites is a path of beauty.com. And that has my blog. And so we talked about color and, and you know, nature and flowers are a big part of it too, you know, because there is such an energy and there's actually in shamanism you know, the Devas and all of the plants and the flowers are really a four kind of an angel, you know? So, um, so I spent a lot of time there. And so yeah, so I take photographs, and that's just another one of my joys of what I do. And that has a lot of the Healing Sessions different things and then on a champagne soaks calm is where you can find a lot more of my soaks. And then right now, to find out about the core It's on a champagne soaks.com slash color dash healing dash course Brandon Handley 56:10 awesome thank you and they can find you on Facebook and oh yeah so you're on all the social media and a champion Anna Champagne 56:18 some more than others but you know what we all have to find our way Brandon Handley 56:22 Sure. Sure. And your site I think is pat the beauty or the is that your garden I see a lot of flower pictures of that Anna Champagne 56:31 my travels because I travel all over everywhere I go I you know, visit beautiful gardens if they're not my own, Brandon Handley 56:39 know that they're, they're beautiful. They are beautiful, beautiful flowers and beautiful pictures on there. So thanks for sharing those with us as well. Is there anything else that you think that we should hit on that maybe we didn't today um Anna Champagne 56:53 just to just to be gentle with yourself, you know, with ourselves with all you know me too, because I can Be hard of myself to, and, and just keep healing so that you can find the love and respect for others because, you know, a lot of things are coming up in the world that are very divided. And, you know, this and that and, and, you know, it's just time that we heal what's causing the discord in the separation. And you know, and the beauty of it too is we're all individual presences. So it's not ever going to be like boring or we're all going to be the same because that's impossible. You know, it's like a flowers in a garden. So, so, um, and that's what I call a path of beauty just just living from that, you know, beautiful place. Brandon Handley 57:47 Sure. You mentioned you know, before we go here, you mentioned a hand plants is kind of crazy right now. If you could take one silk color and wrap it all up which color would we what color How would we heal the planet with today? Anna Champagne 58:01 Oh boy, I could go through Well, it needs a lot of violet for that transforming, you know, transmuting those patterns but Emerald is very soothing and very healing So, and then always the pink Ray, you know is is that unconditional love? Do you want to have some yellow in there too for that wisdom? I love and of course blue. You can't do it without Archangel Michael protecting us all in our path. So for Sorry, Brandon Handley 58:36 I couldn't say one. can't just pick one. I get it. It's okay. It's okay. The world needs them. All right. So, Anna, thank you, Ana. Ana, thank you so much for hanging out with me today and sharing your story and sharing some really great insights and practical applications. I really appreciate it. Anna Champagne 58:54 Well, thank you so much. I really enjoyed spending time with you and I really appreciate it and Yeah Transcribed by https://otter.ai

For those of us in need of an uplifting, comforting, and escapist read about pulling together in troubled times and finding solace in community, the highly anticipated 2020 debut The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner is the perfect pick and I’d love to suggest Jenner as a guest on your show for May/June. Plus, the audiobook is narrated by Richard Armitage (British actor from North & South, The Hobbit, and more) – what could be more soothing than that? Plot: World War II has just ended and Austen’s Chawton estate is at risk of being broken up and sold off to the highest bidder. Despite battling demons of their own, an unlikely group of locals and Austen fans (a schoolteacher, a local doctor, a Hollywood actress, a Sotheby’s auctioneer, a farmer, and a young house servant) fight to ensure that her legacy lives on, finding hope and healing in the process. A powerful and moving novel that explores the tragedies and triumphs of life, both small and large, and the universal humanity in us.

In episode 5 of the Black Lives Matter series, I speak with Isabella (Twitter@ isabellaaaa21), a prominent figure in the Denver protests. Isabella shares a bit of her background and life leading into the May/June protests in Denver. She talks about racism in college, learning about leadership and advocacy while in college, and feeling connected with DC due to its diverse and vibrant Black population. We also discuss our realization of the segregation of Aurora, watching the Denver protests narrative shift, the entitlement people feel as self-proclaimed leaders, co-opters weaponizing Blackness to control the narrative, PSL's (Party for Socialism and Liberation)work in Denver these past few years, and how Generation Z views the millennial generation.

War Yankee - Overland.00: Trailer   It's May 1864 and the Union has entered its fourth year of war against the Confederacy. President Abraham Lincoln has fired yet another general and is looking for an officer who will take the fight to the rebels. Enter Major General Ulysses S. Grant, the Hero of Vicksburg, and the type of general Lincoln knows will change the direction of the war in favor of the Union.   Promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General -- a rank only held in wartime by George Washington -- Lincoln tasks Grant the job of leading all Union troops against the Confederate Army.   Grant wastes no time in forming a new aggressive strategy that will attack the Confederacy from five different directions and take him, the new commander of the Army of the Potomac, into the field to face General Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.   Howdy, I am Kyle Bondo, US Navy veteran, resident of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and amateur civil war history buff, inviting you to join me for my new podcast - War Yankee.   Follow me as I explore the history of the American Civil War beginning with Grant's Overland Campaign of May/June 1864. Why am I starting in the middle of the war? Because I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia, were the 40+ days of fighting started only a few miles away from my house at the Battle of the Wilderness, and then tore through my backyard into Spotsylvania Courthouse before concluding 80-miles to the south at Petersburg, Virginia.      To make this podcast, I actually walked the path of destruction from Culpeper to Petersburg, Virginia, and stood where General Grant and the brave soldiers of the Army of the Potomac stood, 156 years ago. I now truly understand what it took the Union Army, in both courage and sacrifice, to end slavery once and for all, and ultimately reunite the United States of America.      War Yankee - Overland is my American Civil War history podcast created by me, Kyle Bondo, and produced by Gagglepod. I hope you can join me as I follow the history hiding in my own backyard.   Find out more at waryankee.com.

Summary Being a great leader isn’t about having all the answers - it’s often about asking the right questions. This week we look at ten great questions leaders ask.   Transcript Hello and welcome to episode 84 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we tackle one of today’s biggest leadership challenges. This week we look at ten great questions leaders ask. One of the most significant societal and workplace shifts over the past two decades has been from answers to questions. Like many of you, I grew up before the internet. If I had a question about something, there was only a few options of where I could turn for answers. There was the school library which had, amongst other books, a complete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica. At home we had the more budget version - the World Book Encyclopaedia. In order to keep the encyclopaedias up to date, the publishers would send out a 'Year Book' update each year. That included little tabs that you could put in the relevant spots in the original encyclopaedia to point out that the information was now out of date, and which year book to refer to instead.  Answers were difficult to find and expensive to access. Even simple things like finding out movie session times involved buying the newspaper or a phone call to the cinema. The relative cost of answers meant that you were very careful in the questions you asked, and relatively trusting in the material presented. The internet changed everything. Firing up Netscape Navigator allowed information and answers from all over the world to suddenly be at our finger tips...if only we could find them.  Services like Google helped to categorise content and make it searchable. Over the next few years answers suddenly became cheap. Now you don’t need to go to the library or buy the book, because chances are someone else has written the same content up online.  If you want to know the history of France, how birds fly or how to fix your washing machine, the internet is your one stop shop for information. Answers have become prevalent and cheap. It’s now the trustworthiness and quality of answers that varies. Questions are the valuable commodity now. Perhaps they always have been, but even more so in this landslide of opinion and content. As leaders our role is less about providing answers, and more about helping people to ask the right questions. Great questions help people to discern between competing opinions in order to craft a way forward. As research has highlighted, questions build both liking and learning - they help to build connections and trust. Yet many of our educational institutions and workplaces still focus on rote learning and parroting back facts.  So what are some great questions to ask? A quick search on Google revealed “350 Good Questions to Ask - The only list you'll need” followed by the next entry “253 Good Questions to Ask - The only list you'll need.” As tempting as it is to just copy and paste those posts in, instead here are 10 questions I have fond helpful that provoke, challenge and extend our thinking: What are our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats? There’s a reason why a SWOT analysis is still beneficial. It forces us to look outside at the upside and downside possibilities, while also considering our own capabilities.  What does success look like? People work together more effectively when they’re clear about the end state they’re working towards. What’s the problem we’re trying to solve? Sometimes we can be busy trying to solve something when we’re actually not clear about the problem. As a result we can end up working towards solving the wrong problem. Work with people to define a problem statement - episode 33 has more information on how to structure that. Who else is involved or impacted? It’s easy for us to overlook the human element of situations, so always make an effort to consider who else should be involved. What else could we try? We often stop at the first proposed solution but that’s rarely the best way forward. Instead, make sure you bring out as many options as possible. How do you feel about this? We can underestimate the emotional element. Feelings matter and they impact our ability to make decisions.  What’s getting in our way? Or What is likely to get in the way? It’s important to anticipate obstacles so we can plan options to push through or avoid them. What progress have we made? Often we don’t spend enough time reflecting on the progress we have made. Taking time to reflect can help encourage us to keep going. What support is available? We often underestimate the amount of support available to us. It’s important to consider the people and resources around that can be of assistance. What will we do next? Help your people to move beyond conversation to action. I often encourage people to think about what they can do in the next 24 to 48 hours. There will always be places on leadership teams for those who can ask the right questions. It turns out that a great question is as much about innovation as it is about information - it takes the conversation forward in a new direction. As leaders we need to focus less energy trying to have all the answers, and spend more time getting the questions right. Well I hope that was helpful. I’ve brought together a range of our on demand resources into one place. This includes recordings of webinars on a range of leadership topics, and our Boost Your Assertiveness course. Each month I’ll add another webinar, and there will be an additional video course added each quarter. Just go to the leadership.today website and click on the on demand link to take a free 7 day trial.
