Attention Home Inspectors: The IEB Summer Mastermind is coming up on August 2nd. Details here: https://events.iebcoaching.com/IEBSummerMastermind2024#/ In this episode, Reuben and Tessa discuss repairing ungrounded three-prong outlets. They explain the importance of testing three-prong outlets and the dangers of ungrounded outlets. They discuss the different options for updating two-prong outlets and ungrounded three-prong outlets in older homes. They cover the importance of grounding, the use of metal conduits, and the limitations of using two-prong outlets or adapters. Overall, they provide valuable insights for home inspectors and homeowners dealing with outdated electrical systems.Check out this link for the blog post related to three-prong outlets: https://structuretech.com/options-for-repairing-ungrounded-three-prong-outlets/TakeawaysTesting three-prong outlets is important to ensure they are properly grounded.Ungrounded three-prong outlets can be dangerous and should be repaired.There are different ways to fix ungrounded outlets, such as grounding the receptacle to a metal box or using GFCI protection.Home inspectors should check a representative number of outlets to identify ungrounded outlets.It is important to understand the basics of electrical grounding and the purpose of the third prong on a plug. Updating two-prong outlets or ungrounded three-prong outlets in older homes can be challenging.Metal conduit provides a continuous path for grounding and is an ideal solution.GFCI protection is an alternative option that does not require grounding.AFCI protection is required for certain areas and should be considered when doing electrical work.Bootleg grounds, where the neutral and ground are connected, can fool basic testers.Specialized testers can detect bootleg grounds and provide more accurate results.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Holiday Recap03:09 Partnership with IEB08:12 The Importance of Testing Three-Prong Outlets21:11 Common Questions and Misconceptions About Grounding Outlets

What is grounding and do you even need it?  Have you been losing your keys? Double-booking appointments? Feeling anxious?  These are all symptoms of being energetically ungrounded. Join me for this week's episode as I walk you through the process of grounding and how to remedy feeling scattered by sharing personal anecdotes and insights into how grounding has transformed my own life and guidance for integrating this practice into your daily routine. Grounding, or earthing, is the simple act of connecting with the Earth's energy to realign our minds, bodies, and spirits. I explain that grounding is the process of connecting with the earth's energy and neutralizing our energetic system. I explore both physical grounding, such as walking barefoot on the earth, and spiritual grounding, which involves bringing presence into the body through visualization and energy connection. I guide you though my daily meditation to teach you how to ground to reduce anxiety, increase presence, and maintain a balanced energetic state. Keywords: grounding, energy, well-being, physical grounding, spiritual grounding, presence, meditation, anxiety   Takeaways Grounding is the process of connecting with the earth's energy and neutralizing our energetic system. Physical grounding involves activities like walking barefoot on the earth, hugging trees, or spending time at the beach. Spiritual grounding is about bringing presence into the body through visualization and energy connection. Grounding can reduce anxiety, increase presence, and maintain a balanced energetic state. Practicing grounding regularly can have a positive impact on overall well-being and energy levels.   Chapters (approx time stamps) 00:00Introduction and Overview 02:02The Importance of Grounding 06:12Physical Grounding 10:14Spiritual Grounding 22:48The Power of Grounding Practices 26:58Personal Stories and Insights 34:09Incorporating Grounding into Daily Life 36:47Conclusion and Call to Action   Links: 4:00- US Electric Grounding Article 5:30- GRACE Technique- https://youtu.be/02p-lzCg4V8?si=_lcj1PiERAlf2QKd 8:30- The Earthing Movie- The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding (full documentary) (youtube.com) 9:30- Tibetan Buddhist Mandalas- https://youtu.be/WBrYUlOYK0U?si=YnNjwvg8gfa4lJvf 15:00- 1 to 1 Coaching with me!

Together we will learn how to love ourselves enough to heal and heal ourselves enough to thrive. I'm so happy you're here. Let's get started.   I am so happy you are here. Happy Monday. I if you were listening on Mondays when I originally dropped, I hope so. I hope you are here and starting your week off with me. If not, come and join us on Mondays. But today we are talking about one of the most important topics, I think. Although maybe I think every week is important, but today we are talking about the importance of grounding. And we're going to talk about what is grounding and if we even need it. And I think this, if we even need it, might become a series for me because I did the energy screen, what is an energy screen and do we even need it? And now it is what is grounding and do we even need it? So we'll see what follows with the do we even need it series, but I am liking that. Anyway, today though, we are diving into energetic grounding and what that means, what that looks like, what it looks like when we're not grounded and how to ground. So have you been losing your keys? Have you been double booking your appointments? Have you been forgetting what you're saying mid -sentence? Do you walk into a room scattered? Hot mess, hot mess, whirlwind.   This is what it looks like when our energy is ungrounded.   And I was thinking about that as I was thinking about putting together this episode. What does actual physical electricity look like when it's ungrounded? And I thought to myself, wow, electrical cords would look frazzled at the end, possibly one of many things that could happen, but it would look frazzled at the end of the cord.   And I would say that that's how we look when we are ungrounded as well. We look scattered, we look frazzled so we can have that image in our mind of what ungroundedness looks like. It looks like that end of the frayed electrical cord when your phone cord has been used too many times and it has now come apart. That frazzled look. However, when we are grounded,   We are connected, protected and safe, much like we are when we are energetically grounded within our home. So I decided to look up on US electric .com about ungrounded outlets. And I thought this was so fascinating because I think what we can say to the outlets, we can also say to ourselves when we are ungrounded. Ungrounded outlets. And I'll include this link down below if you want to get your electricity insight on. Ungrounded outlets will be unable to compensate for electricity overloads and cannot send current to the ground safely. What? Look at that in terms of when we have too much energy or emotion coming at us, we are not able to compensate for someone else's overload of energy or emotion and we don't know how to get rid of it safely.   So then we react or we blow up or we become depressed or exhausted. None of which help us attract the highest vibe life possible. Next. So the current will search for another way to find grounding by taking the shortest, easiest route possible, which could be through your hand at the plug, giving you an electric shock or through frazzled wiring or causing a fire.   But I thought that this was very interesting. It has to take the shortest and easiest route possible. So that looks like the energetic emotional explosion, or it looks like the distancing or the cutting off, all of which are low vibe. However, when we walk through life, energetically and spiritually grounded, we can remain connected. We can remain present with our own emotions as well as other people's emotions and know how to safely distribute that emotion and that energy by using the grace technique, which I'll include a link down below. But we have talked about grounding our energy, retracting our aura, attaching to the center of the earth covering with our energetic screen of choice and then emptying that bowl, allowing, not allowing someone else's content to affect us. We grace ourselves. But the first that G in grace is ground. We always begin by grounding. And when we walk through our life grounded and connected to the divine, we are present and we can safely manage emotional and energetic overloads by our surroundings. We are no longer triggered by the people around us.   We live in a world that ungrounds us every moment of every day. There is so much toxic news, toxic commercials, toxic people around us. And if you're finding that, think about your own toxic thoughts or emotions because like attracts like and what we pay attention to, we draw in. So do you need to take a moment and not pay as close of attention to all those things? But as a society, our children and ourselves, we are spending more time inside. Children are not playing in the dirt as much. They're not climbing trees as much. We're not playing in the dirt or climbing trees as much.   This is a physical way for our bodies to be grounded.   scientifically grounding is the exchange of electrons between the earth and our body. The sun releases electrons into the ionosphere, a layer of the atmosphere approximately 50 to 400 miles away. The sun's rays are so powerful that they split the molecules into a negative charge and a positive charge. The positive charge remains in the ionosphere while the negative charge   collects and then ultimately leaves the ionosphere and hits the earth and disperses that negative energy onto the earth's surface through lightning. Then the super magical thing happens. Those free electrons are absorbed into the body when we walk around on the earth and it neutralizes the free radicals in the body when we stand on the earth, when we...   play in the dirt, when we climb trees, when we sit up against a tree, when we hug a tree, when we walk along the beach, when we immerse ourselves in nature, this automatically happens and it can happen instantaneously.   the free radicals that have built up in the body pair with these negative electrons and allow your ultimate state to be neutralized and balanced.   This lowers the inflammation within the body. It improves your sleep and it shifts your autonomic nervous system from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance.   There is an incredible movie. I'll include a link down below. It's free. Bye.   called the Earthing Movie that details this process and shares perspectives from all of the industry's experts, including Clint Ober, who was the pioneer of this movement.   But how much time are you spending outside? How much time are your kids spending outside? Can you just sit out and enjoy your morning coffee with your feet on the ground? You know, when I was a little girl next to our house on the side of the house, there were these little cement rounds. Very 1970s. The little pebbles, right? That had like little.   circles with the little cemented pebbles inside of them. But I every day would make pizza pies with my little pizza pie station. So I would collect rocks and leaves and grass that was my cheese and appropriate rocks that were the perfect round size to be my pepperoni. And all of nature I would gather to be my ingredients to create these pizza pies every single day.   I made lots of different designs and then ultimately it would teach me non -attachment because each one of my ingredients would be either scooped up by birds throughout the night or the wind would blow it away. So by morning all of my pizza pies had disappeared.   Have you ever seen those beautiful sand mandalas? I'll include a link down below to one that they are created by the Tibetan Buddhist monks and they create these beautiful, intricate sand masterpieces that are so detailed, so beautiful on their own pizza pie, on their own cement, maybe they're wood or cement, but it is these incredible.   incredibly intricate sand masterpieces. And then when it is complete, they ceremoniously dismantle them to depict and symbolize our impermanence here and that we can practice non -attachment to, we can create beautiful things, but they don't need to stay that we ourselves grow and change because we have created.   that masterpiece, not because that masterpiece has to stick around or stay, but we ourselves have changed because of it. What in your life have you changed exponentially because you created, but maybe exists, maybe doesn't. But when we cling to it's non -existence that can lower our energetic vibration, when we recognize that we ourselves have grown and changed.   we can know it has served its purpose in the sole fact that you have shifted and changed non -attachment. And we'll probably come back to that on another podcast episode. But today we are diving into grounding as I took my pause on the beautiful Tibetan monk, Tibetan Buddhist monk sand masterpiece. Okay. So back to free radicals.   Back to neutralizing the body, back to the earthy movie. Have you ever noticed how relaxed you are after spending a day at the beach? You're calm and peaceful. This is because you are so grounded. You are energetically grounded physically. Your body physically does this without you even trying. That is how beautiful and amazing nature is. We, we actually had a hail storm this past week.   And I went out and caught some hail just to eat it. And I was so amazed. Every single one of those pieces of hail were these perfect spheres. It was incredible to me. And I just was in true awe of just how incredible nature is. And this is just one more way that nature is so incredible. When we work in conjunction with nature and mama earth.   She wants to neutralize your free radicals. She wants to reduce your inflammation. She wants to make you grounded, present, and healthy. You can do this through grounding.   So we can use this technique energetically and spiritually. So we can physically ground by walking through mud, putting our feet on the grass, leaning up against a tree, hugging a tree, spending time at the beach, allowing the physical earth to actually touch our body. But we can also do this spiritually. And it has a...   a very similar energetic effect. In fact,   I came to know this. I came to know that I didn't need ground to ground in the most frightening way. Actually. We were in Hawaii and my daughters were out snorkeling and they're like, Oh, there's a turtle. There's a turtle. So I grabbed my snorkel and I ran through the water, jumped out, swam out just so I could see the turtles are last day of vacation. And.   I hadn't seen the turtle yet and I really wanted to see him. But when I got out there...   I had realized that there was a hole in my snorkel and I couldn't breathe and I panicked and I was hundreds of feet away from.   shoreline and I panicked and my, my daughter said to me, mama, why you look like you have ants in your pants? And so I waved to my husband who grabbed the boogie board and headed his way out to me.   And I have trained my mindset so much so that here I was.   100 feet from the bottom of the ocean.   floating in the water and I grounded my energy. And in that moment, my panic stopped. My anxiety stopped. I certainly got out of the water as soon as my husband got to me with the boogie board, but I didn't.   but I didn't drown. I didn't even go underwater. I calmed myself immediately in that moment by grounding my energy, by not even touching the water, by not even touching the ground.   I mean, a case could be made possibly that there was sea water and there's sea and sand in the water. So that could ultimately be a little more grounding as well.   but my feet were not on the ground. So here is the message, but I do this in airplanes too. And certainly I am so far from the ground in that moment too. I want you to begin to incorporate this energetic grounding into your life every single day and watch how much your anxiety decreases. Watch how much more present you are in your life.   So we can probably agree that we need physical grounding based off of all of this. As we reflect on our question before we move on, what is grounding and do we even need it?   but we can understand grounding as a means to neutralize our energetic system and bring presence into the body.   And do we even need it? That is for you to determine and discern for yourself as we move through the episode.   We will dive more into spiritual grounding in just a moment, right after that turtle. Now that we've shared that turtle story, we will come back to spiritual grounding in just a moment, right after this message.   One -to -one coaching is a fantastic way to understand where your energetic patterns might be stagnant around health, relationships, or money. Once you clear the stagnant energy, life begins to become abundant, satisfying, and rich in every sense of the word. I would love to dive into your life patterns with you. If you'd like to learn more, click the link down below. Now, back to our show.   What is grounding and do we even need it? Part two, we have covered physical grounding. Now let's move on to spiritual grounding. Spiritual grounding is bringing presence into the body. It is energetically drawing mama earth's energy up through visualization and subtle body energy connection.   It is at the core of mindfulness and allows us to be present with ourselves first.   This is such a revealing grounding story on the importance of grounding and why we need to do this. So it was about 10 years ago and I had just started my speaking career and a friend of mine connected me to the head person at her company that I really wanted to speak at. So I was super excited and we had a great first conversation and he said, great, awesome. We have an author coming on Wednesday.   Why don't you come and watch the speaker and then we can meet for lunch afterwards. It'll be amazing. I said, great. That sounds awesome. Let me write down the title of the book so I can get it and read it. And I wrote it down on Thursday on my calendar. So I went through my days. I went through reading and cramming this book, which if you've been listening, you know, I'm an audible girl, but this was.   predated when audible was a really big thing and so I had to actually read with my eyeballs really fast I read through the whole entire book I was all prepared Thursday morning and sent an email to confirm Thursday morning And if you're listening closely to my story you will have heard When was that actual meeting? Yep So the meeting had been on Wednesday, but I had written it down on my calendar on Thursday and so   Thursday morning, I sent an email so excited. I've read the book. I can't wait to meet with you. And he wrote back and said, you were a no show. He wrote back and said, I wondered why you were a no show.   No show. If you know me, I am so full of integrity and being there for people and to be called a no show was just gutting to me. And I was, I was actually a no show, but it was more because at that point in time, my energy was completely ungrounded. I was so excited. I had so much energy. I could not handle the emotional and energetic outpouring from the outside because my insides were not grounded just like we discussed at the beginning.   My ungrounded system was unable to compensate for the emotional and electrical overload that I received by being invited into this dream meeting because I was ungrounded.   So he was so kind and so nice to still meet with me and we got to have a wonderful conversation and connect. But it was in that moment that I realized how important it was. And I was teaching this. I was teaching this at the time. However, we're going to cover off on a few things of what I do differently now that has.   upleveled my grounding practice compared to what it was before. So often you will hear teachers talk about grounding from the feet. You ground your energy and this does make a difference. This does shift your energy and it helps connect you to the earth, into the center of the earth. However, what I have found through   my love affair with the chakra system is that our root chakra located within our pelvic floor, their perineum. Here, this energy is the energy that grounds us. This is the energy that brings presence into our life. And in fact, as you will hear in a couple episodes, our organ of action of the   As you will find out, as you will learn in a few episodes, as we dive into our organs of action, the feet are actually connected to the solar plexus, to our ego, as opposed to our root chakra that grounds us and brings us into our physical body. So bringing attention first to the pelvic floor, the base of our spine, our perineum.   And then drawing energy from there down into the center of the earth allows your energetic body to become so powerfully grounded and connected. I once had a client who came in so frazzled. Her electrical cords were so frazzled and just all over the place. And I, I then asked, I said, well, are you...   following your grounding practice? Cause I saw her regularly. And so she knew to practice her grounding. And she said, yes, every single morning I'm grounding. And I had just the intuitive hit to ask, where are you grounding from? And she said, from my feet, of course. And so then I taught her about grounding from her pelvic floor instead, and drawing that route down into the center of the earth. And I am telling you, you cannot make this up.   She came back the next month and her energy was so grounded, so present, so calm, so unfrazzled. It was incredible. It was absolutely incredible. So if you have a moment, I invite you to join me in this quick visualization. If you're driving or doing something unsafe, please don't do this. Come back, hit pause and come back. But if you were able to take...   a few quick minutes with me, I invite you to close your eyes, bringing your attention down to your pelvic floor, the base of your spine, your perineum. And when I say that, I mean the inner, inner deepest, most inner part of the cavity of your body. Bringing your attention down to your pelvic floor, the base of your spine, your perineum.   Just allowing your focus to focus here in this space.   inviting any thoughts that might be lingering around to float down to your pelvic floor at the base of your spine, your perineum like glitter or snow in a snow globe down into this space.   You can remain here for as long as you like gathering and collecting those thoughts. When you're ready, you can see this beautiful tree root push down through the crust of the earth, the mantle of the earth, the outer core, the inner core, 90 % of the way to the center of the earth.   And then I invite mama earth to meet that cord. The other 10 % when she is ready, she will intertwine with that cord and draw your cord all the way down into the center of the earth, connecting in pulling taught. And we give mama earth so much gratitude. Thank you mama earth for the sun and the moon and the stars and for taking what no longer serves us and grounding us and bringing us.   presence into our life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So grateful.   And you can remain here for as long as you like. When you're ready, you can then draw that beautiful earth energy up that root filling in your pelvic floor, the base of your spine, your perineum.   inviting this beautiful earth energy to nourish and fill in this pelvic floor until you create a little soil of garden, a garden soil here in this space, creating this beautiful garden with soil three inches high here in this space, not too heavy and not too light. You decide for you what feels right, but enough earth energy here that it feels a little weighted, but not too much.   allowing that beautiful mineral rich, water rich soil to just nourish your pelvic floor, the base of your spine, your perineum. And then we thank Mama Earth for this grounding. Thank you, thank you, thank you.   And you'll be able to return to the space at any time. And when you're ready, you can begin to rub your fingers, coming back to the space, rubbing whatever might have fallen asleep, taking a great big deep breath and stretching, coming back awake alert and refreshed back to this moment now.   You can do this in one second. I know I talked to you through this in multiple minutes, but you can do this in one quick second. That allows you to become grounded, connected. If you are snorkeling in the ocean and you need a quick ground, you can do this anywhere. I do it in the airplane. I do it whenever I feel anxious, nervous. This is how I begin my day. This is how I end my day. I do this before every meditation. I cannot encourage you enough.   to incorporate this into your life as your grounding practice. This will change the world. This will change your world by offering this powerful, satisfying way to create presence in your life so that   you are able to compensate for the electrical and emotional overloads that surround you so that you can offload that energy safely and with presence, kindness, and love.   How can you incorporate grounding into your life? Can you find a moment to ground physically? Can you find a moment to ground spiritually?   And can you decide what grounding feels like and if you even need it? I can't wait to hear in the comments down below. Do you need this? I would love to hear what your thoughts were on this meditation and how you are going to ground this week. I want to hold you accountable. Are you going to go walk on the beach? Are you going to go walking apart? Are you just going to go?   sit in the grass out front or lean up against your favorite tree.

I challenge you just simply don't put your head down on the pillow.

on this ep benny is BACK and UNGROUNDED!! and reacts to the things that are sooo wrong but feels so right (like snatching 8 donuts and eating them in the bathroom)

London is experiencing the ‘summer that never happened', which is really throwing Sonia C.'s mood off. To contrast this, Sonia T. is sweating bullets down in New Orleans as they experience one of the hottest summers on record. Although the ladies are both in different parts of the world, they are experiencing some yucky weather and Sonia C. knows that it's just making everyone feel off!   This week's theme is about: Windy changes and embracing the unstable winds.   Highlights: Is it in the air? Both Sonia C. and T. are feeling really off. [1:15] You have to feed and move your spirit, even if you feel so flat and down. [3:15] Sonia C. is going through a lot of changes. There is a bright light at the end of the tunnel, but it needs to get a bit dark and messy first before she can get there. [6:50] Stuff holds energy. If you're feeling messy, then it's time for a deep clean. [8:25] Intuition follows organization. [9:10] When you follow your intuition, even if it doesn't make sense, there will always be an open door for you to go through. [16:35] There is no right way to live your life. Only your intuition knows what's right for you. [24:25] Sonia T. shares a story of a 78-year-old man she met at a burning man. [32:45] Tool of the week. [34:30] Question of the week. [37:05]   Sonia T. wanted to just lie in bed all day but decided to make the most out of it and go see a show with one of her friends. However, this yucky weather really does feel like it's spreading everywhere because both she and her friend were just flat as pancakes energetically. After the event, their energy levels did pick up, which is an indicator that sometimes you just gotta waddle through the mud before you get to the energetic gold.   Sonia C. was on vacation, but it was not the relaxing one she was expecting. Her exotic location was going through intense winds and it just made it very difficult to unplug, unwind, and relax! This restless energy really got her spirit in high drive and stressed out. Sonia C. is going through a lot of ungrounded energy and changes, but she knows intuitively that these changes are happening for the better.   Tool of the Week: Say YES to new adventures and new things that make you uncomfortable.   Question of the Week: My intuition wants me to take a leap of faith. I feel as though it's right, but I'm still hesitant. How can I get the courage to act on it?   Continue on Your Journey: More Sonia Choquette at www.soniachoquette.com More Sonia Tully at www.soniatully.com Connect with Sabrina at www.sabrinatully.com Join Sonia Choquette's Vibe Tribe Follow Sonia Choquette on Instagram Follow Sonia Tully on Instagram Buy Sonia and Sabrina's Book You Are Amazing Ask your intuitive questions at: itsallrelatedpodcastquestions@gmail.com Masterclass: You're Glorious Life by Sonia Tully Book a Discovery Call with Sonia Tully Sonia Tully Live Workshop for Fall 2023 Join the waitlist for Sonia Tully's Psychic YOUniversity this Fall Share with us your questions and vibe stories at itsallrelatedpodcastquestions@gmail.com and vibecheck@soniatully.com  

It's been said that change can feel like death in our human experience. But, what if you were able to notice the shift of change happening before a major change? And what if you could tap into the Universe and be guided through the change in order to avoid confusion and ungrounding? In this episode you will learn how to be divinely guided through a life change.Resources:Instagram  @gisellebaumetTik Tok @gisellebaumetSend me an email Join The UnfoldingSupport the show

Since I have been traveling more long term...it seems like every time I get to a new country I have the same feelings come up.. ungrounded, scattered, & overwhelmed. Even though I am choosing to travel for this period of time I can still feel this way! It also feels like most of us feel when a new year is coming around soooooo quickly!! I use these 4 simple techniques any time I feel ungrounded, scattered, & overwhelmed.. which can be often! You don't need to apply all of them right away to feel the effects but they do work best when you do all of them when you really need to ground yourself. hope this helps you my beautiful people :))) xx Erica Follow Erica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erica.eternalexpansion Follow Erica on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@erica.eternalexpansion Watch updates on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9FMq3B5Gkhe0QzPWnISmsw --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eternalexpansion/message

In this episode I speak about the likely reason to why you feel ungrounded, and how the crown chakra has come into compensate for the extra filtering that is done by the root chakra for those that came into this world as more sensitively wired humans. In this episode I mention "The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding" Here is the Link for it https://youtu.be/44ddtR0XDVU --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/natashakoshinka/message

Emotions. We all have them. Many of us try to manage them. But where do they come from and why do some of us feel them in ways that can feel almost uncontrollable? In this podcast, I get into the truth of what it can be like to feel and experience big emotions. Taking it from an energy informed perspective, I identify emotions as powerful messages from the soul. Sometimes warnings, others information sources about self and other, often keys to our own healing, our 'feelings' are an important part of the voice of our soul. You feel a lot? That is your soul talking. LISTEN! The big takeaway point here is that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Having big emotions can be an enriching and nourishing part of life.As we discuss, the problem many of us experience with emotions is that we are taught to ignore and repress them. To judge self and other for having them. Guess what? That kind of repression can lead to explosions and lash outs. This in turn winds us into situations where one winds up destroying the very relationship, activity, or experience they were feeling so passionately about. Key things we can all do? Learn to form healthy self-communication habits where we evaluate our state-of-being. Regular outlets of self-expression through writing or physical exercise can help with grounding. Learning to hear the message in your emotions is a key suggestion that I make in this podcast. (Come back for more installments where I will examine other facets of emotions as energy.) Additional Resources: As I say in the podcast, caring powerfully about something is a good sign. It only gets destructive when have not yet figured out how to discern the message in our emotions and to positively direct the energy they represent. Learning how to experience and appreciate them as that supports emotional intelligibility and personal energy management. This is something I care a lot about. Here are some resources to support your journey (stay tuned for more): Forming Positive Emotional Connections (spotify music journey personal ceremony): Music + Ceremony Journey: Calling in Positive Emotional Connections – Crow Medicine: (crow-medicine.com) Though I did not speak about it in this podcast, another reason that we experience major emotions is that we are not grounding our energy. This is a brand new article from my blog about getting grounded: Feeling Ungrounded: How to Identify if You are Ungrounded and Ways to Fix It – Crow Medicine: (crow-medicine.com) Breathe, Ground, Connect: Basics of Energy Management: Breathe, Ground, Connect: Foundations of Energy Management (learnworlds.com) Do you have any energy related questions you would like me to address in a podcast? Let me know! I would love your suggestions. *I know I asked you to place them in my spotify q and a spot. The host company seems to have taken that down probably to do with other controversial things happening on this platform. Please visit me at my instagram or websites to submit an idea for the show.

In spite of its suspicious beginning, Carlson has actually magnified this case by concentrating on the legislative statement by Victoria Nuland, that was asked by Legislator Marco Rubio, Republican Politician of Florida, whether Ukraine has chemical or organic tools. The insurance claim basically: The USA is taken part in secret bioweapons study as well as manufacturing of bioweapons within Ukraine's boundaries. As an example, the cases obtained considerable grip when, on March 9th, Tucker Carlson of Fox Information increased alarm systems that the current statement by Victoria Nuland, the Under Secretary of State, that recognized that the united state has actually moneyed organic research study in Ukraine, is evidence that the laboratories are generating or carrying out research study on organic tools.

Remember, we welcome comments, questions and suggested topics at thewonderpodcastQs@gmail.com   S3E11 TRANSCRIPT:----more---- Yucca: Welcome back to the Wonder Science-based Paganism. I'm your host Yucca. And this week we're talking about crystals, herbs. Other magical treasures. Mark: Right. Yeah. These are things that are very important in the practices of many pagans. We have a different take on what that means from maybe the mainstream pagan view. So it will be talking about. But also about what we can do to create aesthetic objects and materials that help us to get into the right mind space, to do effective ritual work and and how we can best equip ourselves with all those kinds of things.  Yucca: Right. And also not just in the ritual space, but in our everyday mundane life and environments that we create. Mark: Sure because they work as talismans. And we did do a, an episode on talismans a long, long time ago. The, they, they, you can carry an object with you or wear a piece of jewelry or anoint yourself with a particular scent, any of those things. And if it has a strong association for you, it will remind you of that characteristic or quality. And then you have that with you in your ordinary life. And that can be really great, really empowering and and supportive of success.  Yucca: Right. Mark: So for a minute, let's, let's just talk in the big picture about all of This What do we think about magic crystals? Yucca: This will probably not be a surprise to our long-term listeners, but my take and I'm guessing this is the as well Mark, is that they aren't inherently magical. They don't have super special powers. They're not supernatural. They're natural, just like everything else. Some of them are really. Some of them are beautiful. Their stories are amazing in terms of how they were made and the interaction between the biosphere and the geosphere and all of that is just incredible. But there's a lot of big claims about crystals that I don't buy. Mark: Yeah. me neither. There, although we might aesthetically appreciate a quartz crystal more than we aesthetically appreciate A lump of granite, there's no special quality that makes the crystal any more special than the lump of granite. The lump of granite has an amazing story behind it, too. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: But that being said, and we're going to talk about the provenance of these things in a while, presuming that you have something that was, was brought to you in an ethical manner, there's nothing wrong with having beautiful stones on your, on your focus, your altar, or, you know, carrying it with you.  Yucca: of jewelry  Mark: jewelry One thing that I will tell you though, not to do, which is something that I saw a photo of on the internet that really terrified me. Someone had taken a whole, whole bunch of sacred stones and crystals and had hot glued them to the center of their steering wheel,  Yucca: oh, yes, don't do that.  Mark: where their airbag is,  Yucca: Yes. I've seen. People do that with their dashboards too, but the airbag is even a Mark: Yeah. I mean, that turns the thing into a Claymore mine. It's just, it's terrifying to think about the damage that that airbag would do if it deployed. So don't do that.  Yucca: Yeah to a lesser degree. That's why I, when I did have long hair, I haven't in years, but I never liked using like the chopsticks or the clippies or anything like that because I always thought, oh, what if I fall backwards? But an airbag that's a lot more intense. Mark: Yes. I have been on the receiving end of a face full of airbag. And I was really glad it was there, but it happens very, very fast and it hits you hard. So please don't put anything hard between you and it  Yucca: yeah. Yeah. So that's,  Mark: kind of a special case,  Yucca: let's say you have in common.  Mark: Yes.  Yucca: that the stones that you have are on the gyms that you have are not the mind in a way that is with slave labor and all of that. And that they're not, it did, it came to you in an ethical way that great, right. Mark: Which is a steeper standard than you might expect. Mineral specimens and particularly crystal specimens are mined in extremely environmentally destructive and unsustainable ways often by people living in slave like, or in, in truly enslaved conditions, including children. In many places in the world. Many places in south America, for example, Brazil places in Asia as well and there and South Africa. There are there beautiful stones and it's lovely to have them, but to be honest, my take is if I didn't find it myself, I'm not going to buy it. I, at this point I will buy fossils. If they have good provenance, but when it comes to just mineral specimens, I just don't do it anymore. I have a few that I acquired over the years and that's enough.  Yucca: Yeah. So this is something that, that if you really enjoy crystals, that we would encourage you to look into and do some research on. Because there certainly are ways to, to acquire them that aren't based on those things that we just talked about, but it's really, but it's, if you're just getting a random one, it's really hard to know what that history is. And there's a good chance that, that it really does come, is supporting the system that is so exploitative on just every level. Mark: And you just don't want to be part of increasing the suffering in the world. Right? I mean, that's, that's a pretty simple standard. It's like,  Yucca: There's enough of that  Mark: Yeah. don't, don't make things worse. It's it's it's not too much to ask. That said getting a good Providence. Mineral specimen from an ethical source also lets you know that the mineral itself hasn't been monkeyed with because one thing that happens in mineral specimens a lot is that they get cooked. They're heated to high temperatures to change their color. And so you may not even be sure exactly what you're getting. This happens with quartz a lot. There are lots of different colors of quartz because of trace elements that are included in the quartz as the crystals form. But if you bake  Yucca: that's what a Ruby is, right? It's just a little bit of chromium in it isn't it? Mark: No Ruby is corundum which is the second hardest naturally occurring mineral. After diamond corundum is a, a mineral of its own. It's the same mineral as Sapphire rubies and sapphires. And then there's also, what's called common corundum, which is used in making specialty sand papers and things like that. This is, this is one where I learned this at my daddy, the geophysicists ne so, yeah, corundum is number nine on the most hardness scale. And then diamond is 10. But there are pink quartz is in and even red quartz is that I, pink quartz is their natural. I've never seen a natural red quartz. It may exist, but I've never seen one.  Yucca: Mm. Okay. Yeah, just looking up just a real quick, it looks like that chromium is in a.  Mark: Is it.  Yucca: yes.  Mark: I, Yeah, I'm I'm sure because corundum corundum is a particular molecular structure, but then the color comes from whatever associated trace minerals. I would imagine that it's probably cobalt or copper. That's the trace for sapphires.  Yucca: yeah, yeah. We'd have to look into that. Yeah, just little bits of just a few little bits of different elements. Completely changes the whole look of it.  Mark: That's the wonder of chemistry, right? You take oxygen, which is a colorless, tasteless, transparent gas and hydrogen, which is a colorless odorless, tasteless gas. You bond them together and you get water, which is none of those things.  Yucca: Yeah. Okay, I'm going to go down a rabbit hole. I've got to stop looking at  Mark: Yeah. yeah. I invite You to do it cause it's really cool, but maybe not during the recording. Yucca: yeah. Mark: So  Yucca: were talking about cooking, right? That sometimes they will be  Mark: they they will be heated and modified in the lab. And it's also very common for example, to take mineral specimens and to grind a point onto them so that they look like a crew of quartz. The natural cleavage pattern of a court's crystal actually does lead to those beautiful faceted points that we're familiar with, but people will take like a piece of Topaz or a piece of Aqua Marine and they will grind a point onto it so that it looks more like what people think of as a crystal.  Yucca: Right. Mark: So. you want something that reflects the, the amazing nature of the natural world as it assembles these cool crystal instructures. You want something that hasn't been too? What's the word I'm looking for? Compromised by those artificial processes to try to make it look a particular way so that you'll buy it.  Yucca: Yeah. Well, I mean, it depends on what your, what your goal is though, right? If you're buying it, just because you like the way it looks, but it might not really matter to you what the history of that is. But if it's something that's, it looks, if it's important to you, that it be a specific. Mineral that it'd be the specific history. Then you might not be getting that unless, you know, unless you trust who you're buying it from and the process that it was produced under. Mark: Right. And speaking of rabbit holes, if you really get into crystallography and you start looking at All. the different geometric forms that different chemicals will take when they form crystals, that is. That is this unbelievable, cool world. I mean, when you think about it, water creates crystals in six sided, highly intricate crystal forms that we call snowflakes. Right. He light, which is salt forms in cubes. Sometimes the cubes are kind of skewed like a parallelogram, but they're still basically just, you know, six sided figures. So one of the things that can be really very wonderful about exploring the world of rocks and minerals is actually. You know, digging into the geology itself, you know, the stories of how these rocks came to us, you know, the ones that formed in in pockets of, of air that were filled with hot liquid. Supercharged with minerals and then crystallized, and then the water drained away leaving these geocodes inside filled with crystals cracks that had hot fluid injected into them and then grew crystals out so that they created veins. Which is the way that many metals and metal ores are laid down. Geology is very fascinating. Set of topics. And if, if you really get into the rock world, you can have a really good time there.  Yucca: Yeah. And there's a new field, which is geo biology, which looks at the overlap between mineralogy and biology and how those two things we like to separate them into these two different, totally different categories, but they're not, there's this wonderful overlap and, and On earth when we compare it to what we know about the other terrestrial planets, we have far more in terms of order of magnitude more mineral species than our sister planets too, even though we're made from the same starting material, because we've got life, that's mucking around with the chemistry here. And so there's just so there's so much that happens in both directions. So that's a, that's a whole new field. It's only started in the last, you know, 10, 20 max years. Mark: Yeah. Well, when you think about it limestone, for example, or chalk, that is entirely deposition of the skeletons of living creatures compressed down into sedimentary layers. It's nothing but that that's all that it is. So you're talking about rock that has been constructed by the biosphere.  Yucca: Yeah. And all of those types of minerals that can only form in high oxygen environments or things that can only form and specifically acidic environments, all sorts of things. Mark: Yeah, so I'm kind of a tangent, but geology. Cool.  Yucca: Yes.  Mark: it out.  Yucca: Yes. Very much. So. Mark: So that's crystals and what we have to say about it. And I guess I'd like to click out a couple of layers now, before we move on to other things like herbs and tools and bones and feathers and all the wonderful things that we like to use in our ritual practices, because they create a particular. Ambiance a particular aesthetic feeling. And that's to talk about consumerism,  Yucca: Right. Mark: which is an issue in the broader pagan community.  Yucca: Well, not just the bacon community, but that's one of the, the, the struggle, the challenges of our modern society today.  Mark: Right. The commodification of everything, including spirituality, where it's like in order to be really a, a good pagan, you have to dress a particular way or one of a small set of particular ways. And you have to have particular kinds of ritual tools and. Not all of that is rooted in the, I must have ethos of capitalism, Yucca: Great. Mark: you know, and not, not only I must have, but if I can afford it, I deserve to have,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: I mean, we never even asked ourselves the question, you know, should, should this product even exist?  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Not talking specifically about like your here's. Here's a good example in my mind, Botox, should this product even exist? It is used as a treatment. For a non-problem that culture tells mostly women that they have, which is they are aging, which is natural and normal. And then it is sold at considerable expense. It's derived from a poison and then sold at considerable expense. it wears off. So you have to use it again and all this kind of stuff, but nobody ever really asked the question, should this product exist? It was just assumed that if people would pay money for it, then the product should exist. And. I go back to a very wise thing that morning glory Zelle once said to me, she was a friend of mine, a lover of mine and just a dear, dear, dear person in my life. And I'm so sorry she's gone. But she once said to me, if you can't do it with a stick, you picked up on the way to the circle. You can't do it at all. And to me that just speaks volumes about how you don't need expensive trappings. You don't need 4,000 tarot decks. You don't need exotic feathers from south America. And You know, crystals from all over the world and all the many, many, many things that we tend to accumulate around ourselves as pagans, because we want to be able to create that, that feeling and then to carry it out with us into our ordinary lives. So I just encourage you think about it. Think about. You know, it's one thing. If you're buying something from an artist whose, you know, whose individual living is being made better by they're assembling something that looks very beautiful and they're doing it from materials that are not unethically sourced, that's one thing fine, you know, support that person. That's Great. But it's another, if you're just kind of. You know, ordering stuff from Amazon because you feel like you're supposed to have it.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: You're you're not supposed to have it. You don't have to have it. I have four ones, none of them was made by a person. One of them came from a Redwood tree. One of them came from an Oak tree, you know, and these are fallen branches, Right. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: From dead. One of them is an extruded piece of kelp that's dried into a rod shape. And the final one here, I'm going to peer over and look at it. Now is a bone is a deer bone. And all of those have very powerful associations for me. And I use them in different ways when I do rituals, but I didn't have to buy any of them. And no nothing was harmed.  Yucca: Right. Mark: You know, no carbon was made transporting stuff from one part of the world to another part of the world in order to bring me this thing. And more and more as I get older, I think that doing no harm is the very, the very least we can do. I mean, doing, you know, making things better, obviously. Before us on the table. That's that's the work, but at the very least we can reduce the harm that we do.  Yucca: Yeah, I think that's, that's very well said. And, and to, to build on that, I want to say that none of this is to try to make somebody feel guilty about what they have or about, you know, wanting to have the beautiful thing or something like that. But to encourage you that, to think about, you know, whether you need it. And, and if you don't being okay with that, right. It's okay to not have the incredible velvet robes and the, this and the, that, and the like, like you were saying, Mark. Yeah. You've got a branch from a tree that meant something to you or a bone from an animal that meant something to you. And that, that works. Right. And that can be, that can be just as if not far more meaningful than the thing that was purchased and the thing that was just part of the commodity chain. Mark: Right. Because when something is delivered to you as a part of the commodity chain, you have no story associated with it. Right? The story is I gave them money. They gave me.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: when you make something for yourself or you find something or you buy something from a person, or it was a gift. you buy something from an individual person whose work you appreciate and you know something about them. Then it brings the story. And the association of a story with an object is core to what we think of as charging a magical idea. Right.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Cause that's what it is. It tells you a story when you see it or when you hold it in your hand, it says, I come from, I come from this Seychelles islands and I am a piece of volcanic rock that has sharp edges on it. And Lay on a beach for many years, you know, having those sharp edges rounded down so that now all these little pores make this wonderful sort of sponge like a piece of stone. I just made that up. I don't have a piece of rock from the Seychelles, but anyway, Yucca: but it's unbelievable. Right? It sounded like you were describing, you were looking at a particular rock and describing it. Mark: Sure. And if I did have a rock from the Seychelles and I had been to the Seychelles, then it. would tell me stories about all of my experiences in that place and why it was magic to be there. And, you know, remind me of of people that I knew that were there and,  Yucca: Or the relationship with the person who went there and brought it back to you and keep it to you over the coffee that you had or whatever.  Mark: Right. Right. so long story short, we just really encourage our listeners as we do ourselves to interrogate our capitalist assumptions because they're there they're soaked into us. We can't have. You know, we were, we were raised in this particular over culture, which we've talked about before and asking questions and challenging assumptions is the way that we start to become more free. And it's not just about undermining a system, which is destroying the earth and causing a tremendous amount of suffering. It's also about becoming more liberated ourselves becoming more free and that we want that for you and for ourselves. It's something we want for the world is for people to be more liberated and feel like they have more choices about what they do  Yucca: Right. And to be, have that. Richer more colorful life. That isn't because of what you have, but because of what you do and experience,  Mark: and the relationships, you know,  Yucca: right. Mark: Yes. Yeah. Including with the world itself, with the biosphere and the, all the various creatures that, that are a part of it. So that, that it's w it wasn't really a tangent, but it was sort of a long sojourn. Yucca: Yeah. Well, that's the framework that we're going into talking about the rest of these items with,  Mark: Yes. That's true. Yeah. So let's talk about herbs, which are somewhat different because many herbs do actually have medicinal qualities. Also many herbs are claimed to have medicinal qualities that don't really.  Yucca: Well, so many herbs are sprayed with a lot of stuff that you probably don't want to actually be eating and a may have been grown in a monoculture, you know, there's, there's a lot of levels to it. So just like, just like we were talking about with the crystals, you want to be really mindful and aware of the story of what it is that your. Mark: Right. Yucca: using Mark: The good news about herbs is that you can grow your. own. And then you know, what condition they were grown in. And you have a personal relationship with the plant because you fostered it, you helped for it to grow. I don't find that I use a lot of different herbs in my work. I've got, you know, the reliable ones, the Rosemary and the time and the Sage and the sweet grass, which doesn't actually grow locally where I am, but it smells so beautiful when it burns. And I mostly use them in the manner of an incense because I but the other thing that you can do rather than burning them is just a heat. And then we'll still make this beautiful scent as the, the essential oils in the earth evaporate and go into the, into the air column.  Yucca: Right. And some of them, you can, you can simmer and water and do like the like put it on the stove top and you'll get that beautiful smell. Some of them that does not work out for. So you got to kind of experiment with that. Mark: Don't do that with pepper. I have bad experience in system cooking things with a lot of chili flakes or a lot of black pepper.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: you, you basically create tear gas. It's not very good.  Yucca: So once again, common sense, right?  Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: A little bit of common sense in there, but.  Mark: but. there is something very wonderful about having bundles of dried herbs hanging around your kitchen. There's something about it. That's evocative of that. Archetypal hovel of the wise woman in the woods you know, who has a plant for everything, Right. Who, who knows the lore of the plants and. Not thoroughly versed lore of the plants kind of person, but I know people who are in our community and I think that's a wonderful path to pursue. Now I stop at the point where we start talking about the energies of plants that are magically going to influence something or other that are going to bring luck or money or relationships or those kinds of things, because I don't believe that stuff, but. Certainly, you know, elderberry, cough syrup works pretty well when you've got a cough and Rosemary or mint or a combination of the two, if you steam them and breathe the steam, when you're all congested, your nose will clear up. These are compounds that really work  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: and you know, they smell beautiful. The plants have. Fascinating histories of how they've been used or transported or transplanted around the world. So. That's that's kinda my take on, on the herbal thing. I can't speak to whether a particular plant has a medicinal power or not, because I'm not an expert in that way. But we're, we're talking about things now from the standpoint of their, their ritual qualities or their so-called magical qualities rather than their, their literal qualities. And just, just the aesthetic presence of those bundles of herbs, you know, it, it really can make a big difference. I mean, in the Southwest, you see people with chili peppers  Yucca: Okay. Yeah,  Mark: around the kitchen,  Yucca: there's some outside our door. Yup. We're almost out though, because you're actually supposed to be eating. Most of those people hang it for decoration, but there's drive so that you can break it off and you can put it in with your food. But yeah,  Mark: So, are you going to make it to the next harvest?  Yucca: No, we will not. Nope, we're out almost. But maybe we're in the new house now, so, and this'll be our full year, so we'll be growing a lot more of around stuff this year. But but we do, you know, with, we have a lot of herbs in the house and it's a lot of them are more just based on smell and associates. Right. I know that there's, that there are medicinal properties of certain things, but a lot of them, I think, you know, there's probably something in Campbellsville and lavender, which chemically interacts with our bodies in a certain way. But I just associate that with calm down. Relax just, oh, this is wonderful. Have the warm cup of tea or the smell or the, and because we use them that way intentionally, then it immediately brings us back to that since I. Mark: Yeah. And, and. I, I agree with you about cam and particularly because I have a very strong association of camomile as being very calming as well. And I don't know how much of that is just sort of the reputation and how much of it is an actual chemical interaction with my body. And how much of it is it just the flavor of camomile is so subtle. It's like, it's, it's not like. Beer or wine or, you know, something that really just makes a huge explosion in your mouth, right? It's this very, very subtle flavors. So you kind of have to slow down and pay attention, or it'll just seem like hot water  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: in order to taste it. It forces you to slow down, which is part of what's lovely about the Arab. So, yes, I'm sorry. I saw you stutter there? for a second as well. So I think we lost connection for a second. So by all means, you know, explore the world of plants. It's, it's a fascinating world. And  Yucca: Especially if you can grow some, even if it's just. And sometimes this is wonderful, but it, if there's just as a south facing or north, if you're in the Southern hemisphere, a sun facing window and just a few little pots. Mark: Yeah, just, just a couple little pots And you can grow, you know, you can grow your, your time. You know, there's nothing like fresh time. It really, it, it doesn't dry. Well, honestly, I mean, however, freshly you get your dry time, fresh time is just so much more powerful. And it there's  Yucca: Bazell  Mark: in Bazell  Yucca: we can. Yeah. There's just something about, about fresh Bazell and it's so expensive if you buy it, it's  Mark: if you buy it by the bundle. Oh,  Yucca: Well, if you want, if you buy fresh Bazell I mean, I know you can get like the, the dried stuff, but if you go to the grocery store and you buy like a few little sprigs, I mean, you're paying at least where I am like five bucks for something that's like the length of your hand and that's it. Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: So, Mark: yeah. We definitely have our basal plant in the kitchen and. One of the things that's really lovely about that is that the minute that you start picking leaves off of a plant and throwing them into a cooking pot, you're doing Witchery you absolutely are. There's just, there's something about it. You know, about drawing from the wild and, and putting. Drawing from, from the biosphere, from life and mixing something into your, your pot of food. There's just something that's very magical about it. And you can do it with intention and then you're adding that layer into your cooking. So.  Yucca: And then as you take the bite, let's say you're doing basal right? When you take that bite, you can, if you can remember that intention each time you take that bite, right? So you did it as you were cooking and then as it was going into your body, Mark: Right. And over time that will build an association between that taste and a particular feeling, a feeling of being well-nourished and taken care of at home. For example and those are powerful things because if you really need that, if you're far from home in a sterile hotel room going to a conference and you suddenly feel like you're. Ungrounded and wondering why the hell you went to this thing and how you're going to manage to do your presentation tomorrow. If you brought a little bottle of Bazell leaves with you and you can take a nice sniff of that, maybe that brings you back home, maybe that maybe that reestablishes, that sense of solidity inside yourself.  Yucca: Right. Or if you needed to be at the hospital for some reason, right? That's the time that you really want to be just present and grounded and in your, because you're probably why ever you're at the hospital, unless maybe it's for a birth. Right. But in most other cases it's a tricky time. Like you're usually not very happy to be there. Mark: right,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Yeah. So. I mean, we're, we're talking about these things in the context of how you can use them in your so-called spicy psychology. You know, the what said no, we'll called a little red adding a little razzle-dazzle to the. The things that you do in life so that you can be more effective, you can be happy Or you can be more focused. You can be more calm push away, anxiety rise up from depression, all of those things. And those are real effects. You know, we've been talking a lot this episode about how crystals don't really have magical properties and so forth, but the effects that we're talking about when we talk about ritual work are real effects. They, they affect your consciousness and that means that they affect your life. So we were. Finish by talking about some ways that you can go about charging magical stuff. So let's say you got yourself a beautiful rock specimen. Doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be a crystal. It could be I don't know, one of those lumps of native copper, beautiful things, there, all these strange sort of configurations of, of copper that you find them in the desert sometimes. Whatever it is, what  Yucca: your business.  Mark: oh,  Yucca: seen those. Those are yet.  Mark: really cool. Yeah. I have a couple of them.  Yucca: Yeah. So first of all, Again, our take is that you're not actually taking some sort of magical power and storing it inside of that object. But what you're working on is your relationship with that object, your S you are immediate association that association, that relationship that's underneath that thinking part. The thing that you're going to experience instantly, right. Mark: Right. Which when you think about it is kind of like charging something it's like, it's like storing it's like storing a particular quality, like a battery so that when you take that object out or you hold it or you put it in your pocket or whatever it is, you can feel some of that quality leaking out metaphorically speaking, and instilling you with that. Right. I won't say who this is, but I have a friend who has a stone sex toy that she has lots and lots of very pleasurable associations with. Yucca: Sure.  Mark: Yeah. Because that's what it's for. And so she brings that with her to conferences. Not because she's going to use it, but because it just kind of brings happiness.  Yucca: Hmm. Mark: just, you know, I'm putting happiness in my suitcase, so I'm going to tote it along and it's going to keep me happy. So I think that's very cool Yucca: So that would've been something. It was just kind of built naturally, right. That  Mark: over time. Yeah.  Yucca: But, you can also do that very intentionally in ritual. You can, you can plan a ritual, you can sit down or go into your sacred space or whatever. However, you're going to structure that and. And try to bring whatever that is with you, right? If this is going to be something that say you're working on the feeling of comfort and relaxation, right? So do a bunch of things. That's going to get you into that state.  Mark: Right.  Yucca: Do you know, are there songs that get you there really quickly or certain smells or, you know, did she want to put on your, your fluffy slippers in your bathrobe or whatever it is, right. And have that object with you. Right. And start to, you know, if you're a word, see person, then, you know, maybe talk to it or, you know, what are the things, can you think of Mark? Mark: Well, in terms of talking to it to start with, I mean, you can literally say to it, I am now putting comfort into you. I am pouring that cuddly feeling of being on a winter's morning, under enough blankets, where everything feels warm right down to the tip of your toes. And that is going into this stone. It's going into it and it stays. And that's, what's going to be there every time I pick up this stone, I'm going to feel cozy and safe and taken care of. Say you have an issue with consistency that you, and you know, this is a thing for folks like me who have ADHD. It can be very, very difficult to be consistent. And it's taken me a long time to develop The kinds of systems that I need for constantly reminding myself of things so that I can do what I've said. I'm going to do. One way you can do that is if you have a daily practice, incorporate the charging of this object into your daily practice so that you are being consistent, inputting this consistency into your object. Right. So if it's, Yucca: The stubble helpful then. Right? Cause you've practiced the consistency. And then you have the thing that associate you associate with consistency. Mark: And what you've done is you've proved to yourself that you can be consistent and it doesn't have to be a hundred percent, you know, that's, that's, that's not how things work. You know, it's  Yucca: Yeah, Mark: the, I, the idea of perfection is like the idea of virginity. They don't exist. they're made up they're made up ideas. Yucca: they're made up to shame people into, into behaving or obeying. Mark: into obedience. Exactly. That that's not a real thing. A real thing is. Being more consistent, Right. Being more consistent than you were otherwise. If you miss a day of your daily practice, go back to it the next day. That's fine. But you do that for two weeks and now you have an object which has a, a story before. I did this ritual for two weeks, you know, where I was putting consistency of, of action into this object, into you know, whatever it is, a feather wand or a, a stone or a bundle of herbs that you might want to burn. So that at a time when you really need to be consistent and. demonstrated that you can be consistent in the course of doing that. So think creatively about how these rituals can go, you know, the best way to develop an association between an object and an experience is to have that object with you while you're doing the experience.  Yucca: Right  Mark: So, whatever it is you're looking for, if you're looking to goose up your love life, well, you know, have that on your bedside table. If you're looking to increase your capacity for focus maybe on your work desk or someplace where you really have to pay close attention. Yucca: Right for gratitude on the table or, you know  Mark: Great one. yeah. Great one. Yeah. So I, I guess sort of to summarize what I would say is, we're not saying that there aren't magical things. But what we mean by a magical thing is different than what a lot of people in the broader pagan community, me, we don't, we don't mean that there is some inferior quality radiating out from a particular kind of crystal that causes your liver to work better or something like that. What we mean is you can come to associate an object and pick the object that you think is a fitting. One Right. when it comes to being focused and precise, a really sharp edged. Perfect. Court's crystal might be the Right. object for you to use for that because it has its own kind of precision and perfection.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So we can come to ritually imbue. These objects with a kind of a power to speak to us, a narrative to speak to us and in doing so we can enhance our lives. We can enhance our ritual practices and we can be happier, more effective people, which of course is, as we say so often, That's the goal happier, more effective, make a better world. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So, do we have anything else? Yucca.  Yucca: No, I think that this is a good place to wrap up.  Mark: Okay. Good. All right.  Yucca: I think that we covered quite a bit here and really, you know, covered the points that we wanted to about starting with talking a little bit about the consumerism part of it. You know, what's really the function of these and what is it mean for it to actually be magical in those relationships? And so we've, we've gone through quite a bit, actually with a few tangents here and there, little branches growing  Mark: Rocks. Check them out.  Yucca: Yes, Go down, go down that, that a Wikipedia rabbit hole. So,  well,  Mark: great. Yeah. thank you, so much, Yucca. It's been a pleasure as always. And boy, we are sure. Getting close to century retreat it's  Yucca: yes. Mark: six weeks away, seven weeks away, something like That  Yucca: That is yep. It's just around the corner. It really is. I mean, I don't know how it is for you, but the last couple of days has been pretending to be spring here. It, we will get a few more freezes, but it's just making it seem like, oh, well this retreats happening in the spring, right. It's spring. So is it now, can we go yet? Can we go? Mark: We just had all the wisteria growing on our back fence bloom and it's so it's beautiful and it smells so good.  Yucca: I love that  Mark: spring is really happening here. The trees are leafing out and it's just really, really going on. Yeah. So happy spring to all of our listeners, except the ones south of the equator.  Yucca: yes then happy. Mark: in which case, happy fall. Happy autumn.  Yucca: Oh, one more thing. My daughter came up with a holiday and it's Snake Celebration day, and so we need to draw pictures of snakes or make little models of them. And when we see the first snake out, that gets to be snake celebration day,  Mark: Okay.  Yucca: but we have to, we have to prepare ahead of time, have everything ready to put up so that, you know, because we don't know which day it's going to  Mark: so you draw the pictures and make the models in advance.  Yucca: And then we can put them up the day. That is snakes celebration day.  Mark: That sounds like a great holiday.  Yucca: Yes. So, all right. I'll let you know when it happens  Mark: All right. Cool. Please do well. A pleasure as always  Yucca: thanks Mark.  Mark: have a great week, everybody.

Boys, especially, need clear boundaries and rules to feel secure.More than ever, boys are struggling … They are ungrounded and searching for the Truth to guide them. But the Truth presented in scripture is being undermined at every turn—in our schools and in the media. The generational norms that boys could always count on are eroding, and now, the majority in America no longer believes that God is the center of Truth.  Boys need an established and unmoving foundation to thrive—where good behavior is encouraged, and bad behavior discouraged. Boys flourish when they have a clear mission and when they know who's on their team.Boys have lost their way, but there is a path ahead—a Proven Process that you can learn more about at TrailLifeUSA.com/savingboys.

From beekeeper to boxing champion, it's all about fighting differently and fighting smarter, but most importantly, staying in the fight.Playing with lemurs, spearfishing the coral reefs, beekeeping and many other magical adventures in Madagascar were how Zach spent his early years. This boyhood dreamland kept his mind and body busy with new things to learn and unseen places to explore. But, the dream ended at the age of 12 when his family came back “home” to the United States. As an American, Zach found himself a foreigner in his own country, displaced from everything familiar. Ungrounded and desperate to survive, his life quickly spiraled out of control. Poor choices made during this quest for survival left Zach facing many legal problems, and prison was imminent. How could he have fallen this far from his childhood wonderland? Stark and painful realizations came crashing down, and he made a pact with himself, to redefine what his fight looked like. Instead of giving up, Zach took dramatic steps to regain control of his life and chose a clear and healthy self-disciplined path, using his boxing career and church community as the foundation.

Our guest on todays show is Elizabeth "Liz" Coy.  She is a full time Business Development Executive, and now also a caregiver for her dad who has developed Parkinson's.   People with Parkinson's disease rely on caregivers for a wide range of support — from driving them to doctors' appointments to helping them get dressed. As the disease progresses, dependence on caregivers increases substantially. Caregivers can help people with Parkinson's adjust to the disease's effects on the body. And knowing that a loved one is cared for can help the entire family adjust to the diagnosis. But the person with Parkinson's disease isn't the only one who should be cared for. Caregivers must take care of themselves too. Being a caregiver can be a complicated — as well as a physically and emotionally draining — experience. Here are 12 ways to handle your role as a caregiver without neglecting your own well-being.   1. Educate yourself As caregiver, it's important for you to become familiar with all aspects of the disease. This will ensure better care for the patient and easier transitions for you as the disease progresses. It will take time and continual effort for you to learn about the many varied Parkinson's symptoms and how to manage them. As time goes on, you will also need to learn about medication regimens, which can be complex. Several organizations, including The National Alliance for Caregiving and the Family Caregiver Alliance, provide assistance and care specifically to caregivers. These caregiver support groups offer: education seminars enrichment resources connections to other individuals in similar situations 2. Prepare Parkinson's disease begins very slowly. It typically starts with a small tremor in one hand or difficulty walking or moving. Because of this, the role of caregiving is often thrust on a person with very little warning or a chance for preparation. But once the diagnosis is made, you will lessen future stress by preparing now for the road ahead. Much of the work can wait, but you will want to start thinking now about the basics, such as: Who will do food shopping and prepare meals? How will medications be stored and administered? What will have to change in the home setup to keep things safe and easy? Of course, everything doesn't have to change at once. And your loved one can probably share in a lot of it in the beginning. Talk with your doctors and other medical professionals about when and how much to restructure your lives. As your loved one's Parkinson's progresses, their mental abilities will likely diminish. They will be less able to make decisions and plan. At that point, prioritizing planning ahead will help both of you. Using an app may be helpful to make daily schedules as well as reminders for appointments, visitors, and special occasions. 3. Be involved When a loved one is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, treatment for the disease should begin almost immediately. This is a time of major change not only for the person with Parkinson's but also for you, the caregiver. Doctors strongly encourage caregivers to attend doctors' appointments. Your input may help your doctor understand: how the disease is progressing how the treatments are working what side effects are occurring As Parkinson's disease progresses, dementia may make the patient's memory worse. By going to the appointment, you can help remind your loved one of what the doctor said or instructed. Your role during this time is especially important to the treatment plan. ​4. Establish a team Many family members, friends, and neighbors will be happy to help if you need to run errands or just take a break. Keep a handy list of people you can call on occasionally when you need help. Next, designate which people are the best to call on for specific situations. Some people may be more helpful with certain tasks, like grocery shopping, mailing packages, or picking up children from school. ​ 5. Develop a support group Caring for a loved one can be deeply satisfying. It's a chance for your family to draw together as you face the challenges of Parkinson's disease head-on. However, providing emotional and physical care for someone with an illness can become stressful and, at times, overwhelming. Balancing your personal life with caregiving can be difficult. Many caregivers will face periods of feeling guilty, angry, and abandoned. Of course, you don't have to experience this alone. Support from other family members or professionals can help: relieve stress reevaluate approaches to treatment offer new perspective on the caregiving relationship Ask your doctor or your local hospital's health outreach office for contact information for a Parkinson's disease caregiving group. The person you're caring for will likely also benefit from being part of a support group. Support groups allow for open communication with other people facing the same struggles. These groups also provide an opportunity to share suggestions, ideas, and tips among the group members. HEALTHLINE RESOURCE TRANSFORM: Health Equity 71% of people agree that underrepresented communities in the US face greater hardships in accessing healthcare. Learn how they've been affected, and how you can help, today. LEARN MORE   6. Seek professional assistance Especially in the latter stages of Parkinson's disease, caring for your loved one may become more difficult. When this happens, you may need to seek professional care from a care facility or organization. Certain symptoms and side effects of Parkinson's disease may be best treated with professional assistance or home health nurses, or in a nursing home environment. These symptoms and side effects may include: difficulty walking or balancing dementia hallucinations severe depression   7. Hire outside help if you need it At some point, you may feel that both you and your support network are stretched thin. You're tired, and you don't feel comfortable asking friends and family to pick up the slack. But the yard really needs upkeep. And the house isn't as clean as it should be. And suddenly, it seems, you're totally out of food, as well as the energy to go grocery shopping. Hiring a gardener, a house cleaner, or a grocery delivery service can help if this is an option for you. Your physical well-being will thank you for it.   8. Build a good relationship Caring for a loved one with Parkinson's can place a great deal of stress on your relationship. A person you love is changing both physically and mentally, and both of you are needing to adapt. The Michael J. Fox Foundation recommends keeping communication as open as possible and being flexible with your changing roles. Be aware that some changes, such as new apathy or irritability, is not directed personally at you. If both you and your loved one are willing, consider consulting a therapist together. You can work through any of the anger, denial, or upset you are feeling, and find ways to keep your relationship healthy and loving.   9. Manage your stress As caregiver, you are going to feel stress. You may feel fear, anger, helplessness, and more as you meet new challenges every day. It's important for you to know what triggers your stress and develop practices to manage your emotions and release them effectively. Journal writing, going for a walk, or calling a friend can all help. Other coping skills might include: Do something you enjoy. Tend the garden, talk to a neighbor, or read a book. Take at least a few minutes every day to enjoy yourself. Try deep breathing. Even spending 1 minute taking 10 or so deep breaths can give your mind a rest and your energy a boost. Get a massage. Getting a massage can release stress and give you the much-needed sense of being cared for. Try a TV show. It's OK. Be a couch potato for a half-hour or so. Watch your favorite TV show. It may help distract you from difficulties. Exercise. This is one of the best stress-busters there is. Make time for it and find one you enjoy.   10. Be realistic As a Parkinson's caregiver, it is sometimes hard to remain rooted in the here and now. In one moment, you might harbor hope that your loved one will somehow miraculously return to normal and be themselves again. In the next moment, you might think differently. These are the times to take a few deep breaths and focus on how things truly are in this moment. Ungrounded fears and hopes can distract you from carrying on with life as it is. If you need it, professional help can teach you tools and tips for how to do this. Mindfulness training, talk therapy, and meditation are all avenues you might explore.   11. Pay attention The Parkinson's Foundation points out that part of caring for your own mental and emotional well-being comes from noticing and understanding the changes both you and your loved one are experiencing. The physical abilities of your loved one will change over time — and sometimes very suddenly. It is up to you to notice the change since they may not. By paying attention to these changes and managing them, you can make the road ahead easier for both of you. You also have to keep a close eye on your own changes. ResearchTrusted Source shows that Parkinson's caregivers frequently experience depression and anxiety, and their quality of sleep often diminishes.   12. Care for the caregiver Whether you're a spouse, parent, child, or friend, your role as a caregiver is to be on call 24/7. You'll likely feel as if your entire world revolves around your loved one, while your personal life takes a backseat. ResearchTrusted Source shows that caregiver burden is high among Parkinson's caregivers, who likely face emotional, social, physical, and financial challenges as a result. As the demands of caring for a loved one increase, many caregivers neglect their own health. It's important to be proactive and take care of yourself. Keep current with your own medical appointments and healthcare needs. Other things you can do to stay in shape include: eat a balanced diet exercise regularly get proper sleep schedule social activities for yourself get temporary respite care when you need it   Takeaway Caregiving for someone you love who has Parkinson's is a major undertaking that can bring changes and challenges to every aspect of your life. You will likely face emotional and physical hurdles, but also joy and the pleasure of helping someone you love. A brief prescription for succeeding as a caregiver includes: educating yourself asking for help when you need it taking care of yourself Don't be shy about asking your medical providers, caregiving organizations, friends, and family for help. You need to do everything you can not only to help your loved one, but to also keep yourself healthy and positive as well. (credits to Healthline)

In this second instalment of our 3 part mini series 'Reclaiming the Dreamer', I share another pivotal moment from my life where I came crashing back to Earth after going too far into the energy of the ungrounded feminine.This is the part of the archetypal journey where I went completely into my feminine energy - the artist, the dreamer, the mystic - with no solid foundation. I found myself about to go on the dole and live in my car because I was stubbornly trying to not subscribe to societies rules.Vision and belief are so powerful, but without solid foundations and the masculine energy of inspired action, they can become an enticing escape from reality.

It's been awhile since we've collectively experienced grounded energy which means there has been a lot of fear, a lot of noise, and a lot of chaos. Now is the time to ground into your own energy so that you can clear it all out to get to the core of YOUR truth, YOUR intuition, YOUR identity, and YOUR knowing. That's the magic. Let's talk about it.Instagram:Stephanie Dawn Elizabeth: https://www.instagram.com/stephaniedawnelizabeth/Made of Magic: https://www.instagram.com/madeofmagicpod/

In this episode of The Unraveled Life, I'm sharing some tools and tricks for grounding. We're living in a time that is so ungrounded, contending with unknowns and uncertainty about so much of the future. More than ever, we need to learn to ground ourselves. Today, I'm offering some specific tools and suggestions for how to ground yourself when emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or angry. But I'm also inviting you into trusting your own body and intuition when it comes to identifying what will and won't work for you. We'll explore: - How to use the breath to ground yourself; - How to orient to the space around you to physically return to presence; - How to use the five sense to self-soothe and comfort yourself; - What pendulation is and how to do it; - And how to trust your own body and what works for you. In this episode, I mentioned work by one of my mentors, Varvara Erochina, who you can find on Instagram at @ bewithvarvara.

LIsten as Paul Abernathy talks about when to count the Neutral Conductor in a circuit as a Current Carrying Conductor for Ampacity Adjustments purposes. Also while he did not mention it here is a fact....a normal branch circuit with a ungrounded (hot) and a grounded (neutral) are both considered Current Carrying Conductors.

How many of us feel off and ungrounded after ending relationships? It can take time to get our sea legs back. Side note- the roots through the feet stuff has never worked too good for me as my soul feels no need for linear direction, but the need to call myself back to myself, always knowing my heart is the truth North.

A solo episode with Bailey. She talks about their experience selling everything they owned, taking a 3 month trip to South Africa, trying psychedelics for the first time and how being ungrounded taught her true grounding. True freedom came from being ungrounded. From learning to ride through life without fear. To view myself as a character and creator. To enjoy life instead of living in the past or future. To jump into the river of my journey, letting it carry me. When desperately try to protect our “character” and uphold our identity we create discord and anxiety in our life. I am re-grounded because I have chosen to be grounded by life itself, not by the constantly changing experiences, thoughts, dreams, identities or possessions. I needed to become ungrounded, losing hold of everything that gave me false security, to become grounded. www.johnnyandbailey.com

In this meditation our focus is really the breath. Making conscious connection to the breath and feeling your feet firmly on the ground. I bring the visuals in slowly so you really connect to the place you see and connect down through the feet. Ungrounded feelings often have us unfocused, can create anxiety, and allow our emotions to be unbalanced. This meditation will help to reconnect and ground your energy.

I’m going to share a BIG mindset tip that will help you feel more grounded in your business, and a really awesome way to authentically differentiate yourself online. Let’s get started!**If you’re a new entrepreneur, chances are you are SUPER excited for the prospect of having your own full time coaching practice… and SUPER frazzled and confused about all of the things you have to do. Last time, I shared the ONE simple funnel that you can focus on as a new coach to book your coaching practice, and today, I’m going to share a big mindset tip that will help you feel even more grounded.So let’s get right into it!I wanna start by asking you something - what do you think needs to happen before you start getting consistent clients, and make enough money to leave your job and have all of the freedom you desires?If you’re anything like how I was, you may believe you have to be mega internet famous with a huge following in order to make real money online.That notion - that I had to be the Internet’s NEXT BIG THING - kept me paralyzed. I constantly compared myself to other coaches, and went back and forth between feeling like I had something to share with the world, and feeling like I couldn’t even compete because everyone else was offering something much more interesting than I was.I asked myself, who was I to hang my shingle as a transformational coach when there were a million other coaches out there? Who would even care?I thought I had to build a big newsletter list, a huge social media following, maybe write a book, do a ton of guest blogging, establish myself as a speaker, have a GORGEOUS website… and THEN I’d start getting clients.If I hadn’t tossed that notion out of the window, I wouldn’t be a coach today. That doesn’t mean I don’t have those things, or want those things even now, but it wasn’t a requirement for me to achieve freedom from my 9-5 and make it as a full-time 6 figure coach.So ask yourself - what contingencies are you putting on your dreams? What are you telling yourself NEEDS to happen before you make it online?And is that really true?Because if your dreams stay vague and hazy - or too many steps ahead of where you are today - you won’t have the power to manifest because you’ll be giving off unclear vibes to the Universe. One day you might want a killer website, the next day you might want to partner with people, the next day you’re trying to learn how to guest blog or learn SEO. It’s too frantic and all over the place.Does that make sense?OK, next I’d love to help ground you into what ACTUALLY needs to happen for the majority of you.Most of you are still in a 9-5, and you’re DREAMING of handing in your 2 weeks notice to your boss and NEVER looking back.For most of you, what you desire most and what’s NEXT for you is FREEDOM. Not fame, not a book, not a retreat in Bali.Are you with me? Cool. So then the question becomes, how do you achieve FREEDOM from your job?Well, that depends on how much you need to make in order to feel comfortable leaving your job, or supporting yourself full-time in your coaching business.So come up with a number (Click here to grab your copy of my free show notes for this episode to complete this exercise) that feels good - that includes it all. Break it down - what does that look like per year, per month? For many of you starting out, that number will be between $5-10K for FREEDOM and then $10K-$20K for feeling like you’re living abundantly.Once you have that number, the question becomes, how much is your signature program, and how many clients do you need to book every month in your signature program to sustain that number? If it’s $5K, you might need 2 2500 clients or 5 1000 clients or 10 500 clients.2-10 clients a month isn’t THAT MUCH. IT doesn’t require a MEGA following. A world tour. A book. It does require you to have your systems set up and in place, but it doesn’t require you to be famous first. Make sense?COOL. So maybe right now, you’re like OK Mona Lisa, I got it - so I need 5 clients a month. Who is going to wanna work with me if there are a million other transformational/health/career/relationship (pick your niche) coaches out there?Well, you’ve GOT TO SHOW up as YOU online - not as this idea of who you think you should be.YOUR VIBE attracts your tribe. Cause while there are a lot of other coaches doing what you wanna do, no one is going to share your message in the way you’re sharing it. Think about it - Beyonce didn’t say, oh, you know what, there are so many good singers in the world, nevermind. And her songs aren’t about anything wildly original - she’s talking about love, relationships, women running the world… and she’s put HER unique flavor into it.Like Beyonce, I didn't re-invent the wheel here. I didn't invent online marketing and funnels. I learned it from experience, yes, and also from teachers who learned from their teachers, who learned from their teachers. Your content isn't original - you are original, and the way you show up is unique to you.You’ve got to learn how to infuse YOUR personality into your marketing, write the way you talk, and share your stories. Share what you’ve been through. Be a human. What got you to where you are today? What makes you passionate about what you’re doing?In the show notes, I’m going to have you write something called your origin story.The story that explains what GOT YOU HERE, what drives you, how you came to be a coach and do what you’re doing today.If you feel squeamish at all about writing about yourself, and you think - OMG who actually cares about all of this, I don’t wanna talk about myself - I want to tell you… you’re right. Your story is going to sound boring and irrelevant and unrelatable to MOST PEOPLE in the world. But to your tribe, those who will wanna work with you and learn from you, your story is going to sound like music to their ears.Alright so that is ALL for today’s episode, I’ll see you on the next episode of the Love, Light And Business Podcast.Download Episode 55's Show Notes
