Transcript
Good morning, Mel. Good morning, Beth. How are you today? I'm good,
Beth Hewitt:thank you. What does it say on your cup? It says, the future is in
Melissa Amos:your hands. Oh, the future is tea.
Beth Hewitt:I love that. I don't. What's my mug? My mug just says, world's best
Beth Hewitt:nephew. So there's nothing profound going on in that. In that cup. Well, maybe you're
Melissa Amos:tapping into a past life thing
Melissa Amos:somewhere. So what's been going on with you? You've been busy with your
Beth Hewitt:challenge last week. Yes, I've been busy. It was
Melissa Amos:incredible just being with all of these people
Melissa Amos:who are on various stages of their spiritual
Melissa Amos:journey and helping them really understand
Melissa Amos:how and why. And what about tapping into the intuition
Melissa Amos:and keeping the energy clear and understanding that we
Melissa Amos:do have this higher force or higher power or
Melissa Amos:higher knowing and it is available to all of us and we don't need, like,
Melissa Amos:special. We all have the special gifts and special talents. And it was one of
Melissa Amos:those weeks that every single day the same card came
Melissa Amos:up. Oh, I love it when that happens. What was the card? It's
Melissa Amos:such a good card and it's still here. I kept it out. It
Melissa Amos:is safe for you to shine. Oh, that's a nice card. And
Beth Hewitt:that's a message I think everybody needs to hear. Yeah. More
Beth Hewitt:than once. So I'm glad that it came out every single day. Yeah. Interesting.
Melissa Amos:Maybe we can dive into that today because I think it's an important topic. But
Melissa Amos:before we do, how have you been safely shining
Melissa Amos:just going through the. Throes of being on top of
Beth Hewitt:business. Really? Yeah. Nothing to
Beth Hewitt:massively report back on. Shining my light, doing my thing.
Melissa Amos:And, you know, this is what happens when we find that level of
Melissa Amos:safety that we can just go and be and don't feel that we
Melissa Amos:have to control everything and have
Melissa Amos:everything, all of our ducks in a row and make sure that everything is good.
Melissa Amos:Because I know for me, when I so say
Melissa Amos:this, this five day practice, it's the 6th time I've run it
Melissa Amos:now. And I remember the first two, three
Melissa Amos:times just being like, oh, my God, I've got so
Melissa Amos:much I need to do. And, like, just being really in my head.
Melissa Amos:And every morning I made myself go to yoga. Like, every time I'm like,
Melissa Amos:every day I'm going to go and I would go in there and I'd just
Melissa Amos:be there with my hands on my head just going, just calm down. Just get
Melissa Amos:in your body. Just get in your body. Just get in your body. Because those
Melissa Amos:first few times, I suppose there was an unknown.
Beth Hewitt:Yeah. This has been over the last three years or so. And this time it
Melissa Amos:was very different. This time it was like, yep, it's
Melissa Amos:all okay. It's all going to be all right. If some weird tech
Melissa Amos:thing, like the wrong task went up one day, it's fine,
Melissa Amos:doesn't matter. Right? Yeah, right. It's perfect.
Melissa Amos:Trusting that things are as they are and being organized, you've got to be. I
Melissa Amos:didn't just wake up in the morning, like, what, today, you've still got to be
Melissa Amos:organized. But this message of feeling
Melissa Amos:safe in order to come out and do your thing is so important. I
Melissa Amos:think it's something that we don't cover all the time
Melissa Amos:in, whether that's psychic work, intuitive work,
Melissa Amos:mediumship work, or even setting up your own
Melissa Amos:business work. Yeah, I absolutely agree
Beth Hewitt:that we don't really talk about not just
Beth Hewitt:being safe, but just that it's okay to be ourselves and
Beth Hewitt:that in us just shining our light, we are paving the way for other
Beth Hewitt:people to do the same. So I definitely think it's something
Beth Hewitt:that we need to talk more and more about, and I wonder
Beth Hewitt:why that is. I think we're brought up as stay humble, don't brag,
Beth Hewitt:that's big headed, that kind of thing. And so we forget to pat ourselves on
Beth Hewitt:the back, but we do these amazing things and we might do them
Beth Hewitt:just a one time thing. It could be like, graduate from university or whatever that
Beth Hewitt:thing is, and then we never celebrate that again. You know, we have a picture
Beth Hewitt:taken with a scroll and as family, and then it's on the mantelpiece, but then
Beth Hewitt:we never really, unless you're in a job interview or something or somebody's reading it
Beth Hewitt:on your cv, we're not really reliving that achievement. And I
Beth Hewitt:think we should remember how amazing we
Beth Hewitt:are often, and we should continue to shine our light and share our
Beth Hewitt:message and repeat our message for new people to hear and new people to
Beth Hewitt:be inspired by. So I love that card. Came out lots of times last
Beth Hewitt:week. It was a theme. So for me,
Melissa Amos:when I'm talking about intuition and connecting with these higher
Melissa Amos:powers, one of the days, one of the subjects we talk about
Melissa Amos:is energy, hygiene and energy management and having this, knowing that
Melissa Amos:we are grounded, we are connected and we're protected.
Melissa Amos:And as long as we're those things, we can start to feel open. And
Melissa Amos:one of the, one of the members of the group, she'd been in the practice
Melissa Amos:a few times, got various information,
Melissa Amos:but she said, I'm coming again. And it's not necessarily worked for me. In the
Melissa Amos:past and I don't know. And she joined the vip group, so we had some
Melissa Amos:conversations and when I dug into it with
Melissa Amos:her, it's because she didn't feel safe. Something happened and
Melissa Amos:I can't go back there. And so we just went into that and found another
Melissa Amos:way that we can safely find
Melissa Amos:that connection. And how we did it was
Melissa Amos:rather than sitting and waiting for an intuitive. So we work
Melissa Amos:on the spirit guides rather than sitting and waiting for this.
Melissa Amos:I don't know what voice in our. Head, come in, do
Beth Hewitt:this. Rather than that. We spoke about. What about,
Melissa Amos:if you tell your guide, don't expect to listen. Don't
Melissa Amos:bring them into your space straight away. Just call on them.
Melissa Amos:Say, thank you for being here. I know that you're here to help me.
Melissa Amos:What I would love for you to do is, or what I'd really like from
Melissa Amos:you is. And so that we can start to set the parameters. Cause our
Melissa Amos:guidance team isn't here, tell us what to do, but if we
Melissa Amos:say to the guidance team, tell us what to do, we're giving it an
Melissa Amos:instruction that it may, you know, they
Melissa Amos:want to reply and they want to help us, but I think we've been asking
Melissa Amos:them the wrong questions. So by really pouring our energy
Melissa Amos:into, well, actually, what is it? Why do I want this relationship with you?
Melissa Amos:How is it that you're going to help me? And in what way
Melissa Amos:do I want you to help me? I don't want an
Melissa Amos:apparition to come and appear in my room
Melissa Amos:or something to fly off the wall. That's not what I want. Although
Melissa Amos:that would be quite.
Melissa Amos:Oh, okay, you're here. Thank you. And so we began to set
Melissa Amos:that energy, I said, and then just get your pen and paper out and start
Melissa Amos:writing. And she received the most beautiful message from her higher
Melissa Amos:self because that's who she felt safe with, her higher self, rather than a spirit
Melissa Amos:guide. My higher self is part of our guidance team.
Melissa Amos:And it was, it was incredible because I know for me, in
Melissa Amos:therapy work, that's number one. You could have the
Melissa Amos:best techniques in the whole wide world, but if your client doesn't feel safe, nothing's
Melissa Amos:going to happen. It's the same with this work.
Beth Hewitt:Yeah. And do you think we often put
Beth Hewitt:intuition or spirit guides or higher
Beth Hewitt:power almost like above us, like it's a.
Beth Hewitt:Almost like it's a. Better than us, it knows more than us, it's more than
Beth Hewitt:we are without realizing that it's just part
Beth Hewitt:of us. It's part of the whole. And I
Beth Hewitt:think maybe that's sometimes why it feels a little bit
Beth Hewitt:out of reach. Like I'm almost like, not good enough to receive that.
Beth Hewitt:Or instead of, I love that you approached
Beth Hewitt:it from setting that intention of, I want you to come in and I want
Beth Hewitt:to work with you. And this is what we can be working on, rather than
Beth Hewitt:expecting that higher power to be the thing
Beth Hewitt:that gives you the answer to everything because
Beth Hewitt:it's external to us or because we view it as external or separate or
Beth Hewitt:whatever, when actually it's us. If we set the intention, if
Beth Hewitt:we decide how we want the day to go or the life to
Beth Hewitt:go or the message that we receive, then
Beth Hewitt:we're loosely taking back the reins. We're picking up those reins and
Beth Hewitt:saying, I'm in control. Not in a control freak way, but
Beth Hewitt:in a, I'm here for it. I'm ready to create my life, my
Beth Hewitt:reality, my, my version of joy, bliss, whatever
Beth Hewitt:that is that you're trying to bring in exactly. For
Melissa Amos:me, I don't think the universe has a plan for us. I think that the
Melissa Amos:universe supports our plans, and many of us walk around
Melissa Amos:without really a clear plan. And even the whole manifestation
Melissa Amos:conversation is often about, well, what can you manifest? Go and get
Melissa Amos:the things. And it's not for me. And it was about that in the beginning.
Melissa Amos:I was like, oh, this is cool, and this is brilliant. And then actually what
Melissa Amos:happened with me is I didn't feel safe. I started on the manifestation route, and
Melissa Amos:then I didn't feel safe from my own thoughts. I thought my own thoughts
Melissa Amos:are tripping me up. And because, you know, we all have those
Melissa Amos:things going on. We all have the, what if this
Melissa Amos:happens? Or the Brenda, I don't know. I call it Brenda. The
Melissa Amos:Brenda voice sitting in my head telling me,
Melissa Amos:like, what are you doing? You don't want to do this? And what if this
Melissa Amos:happens? And, oh, blah. And I started to become afraid of
Melissa Amos:that because as I begin to realize my own power,
Melissa Amos:that I could manifest actual, real things, physical
Melissa Amos:things, which didn't have an explanation to that. Then
Melissa Amos:when intrusive thought came in,
Melissa Amos:like being underground in San Francisco and
Melissa Amos:wondering, oh, what if there was an earthquake now? And I genuinely thought
Melissa Amos:I was about to, like, everyone around me was all going to
Melissa Amos:drown in a thing because I had that thought. That's not feeling
Melissa Amos:safe. And so it led me on this journey
Melissa Amos:of discovery of, okay, what does it mean? And how does vibration work
Melissa Amos:and how does energetics work? And then later on, how does
Melissa Amos:this spirit connection work? So I started then getting into
Melissa Amos:mediumship and I was like, this is amazing. I can contact the dead.
Melissa Amos:I am having information, this is amazing. And it was great.
Melissa Amos:And then one day I had that thought of, oh, but what if the
Melissa Amos:man comes in and he's not very nice? And somebody said to me, oh, aren't
Melissa Amos:you protecting yourself? And aren't you doing this? And I was like, and then the
Melissa Amos:experience began to change. And so
Melissa Amos:I think that this new wave of healers, readers,
Melissa Amos:spiritually conscious, opening up, we are all
Melissa Amos:energetic, whether we're aware of it or not, as we come into our
Melissa Amos:awareness of it, I think our job is, okay, how can I create the
Melissa Amos:best parameters? Again, not in a controlly way,
Melissa Amos:but in an empowering way, how do I create those best parameters so
Melissa Amos:that I know that what I am attracting into me, I
Melissa Amos:know what I'm receiving into me, I know what guidance that's coming into me is
Melissa Amos:actually leading me into my highest and greatest good.
Melissa Amos:And I can't give you a simple answer,
Melissa Amos:but that's what my work is about. So I think it's important
Beth Hewitt:to have that idea of what you do want,
Beth Hewitt:rather than just receiving or wanting
Beth Hewitt:messages to land to support you on your path.
Beth Hewitt:What is it that you actually want? Are you clear on that? And then this
Melissa Amos:comes back into the know thyself. And this is why your
Melissa Amos:work's so powerful, because you're not just saying, oh, what do you want? Oh, I
Melissa Amos:want the job, or the car, or the bananas or whatever. You're
Melissa Amos:really getting them to feel into it. And sometimes when we're in that.
Melissa Amos:I was speaking about this at an event I was at the other day. We
Melissa Amos:might think we want the Ferrari and we think that I'm going to manifest the
Melissa Amos:Ferrari. And I believe that you could manifest the Ferrari and the universe will
Melissa Amos:start to bring it to you. However, if you like, if I
Melissa Amos:went into, okay, do I want a Ferrari? How would I
Melissa Amos:feel having a Ferrari? Yeah, I might feel like I'm in my lovely
Melissa Amos:car, but also I wouldn't feel safe. I'd be like, everyone's looking
Melissa Amos:at me, people are making comments when I park the car. I'm going to
Melissa Amos:want to get the biggest space in the world, and that's really stressful. I can't
Melissa Amos:just nip it in every time there's a, I don't know,
Melissa Amos:a lorry in front of me, I might think that something's going to drop in
Melissa Amos:it or someone's going to ding my car or someone might come and key it.
Melissa Amos:And that isn't the life I want to live. For me, it's about ease and
Melissa Amos:flow and safety and being. Feeling this
Melissa Amos:grounded, connected, protected. And the Ferrari, however much I
Melissa Amos:would want it, which I don't really, but if I did,
Melissa Amos:if it doesn't fit in with that. Yeah. If it doesn't fit in with that
Melissa Amos:lifestyle, the universe now has two things going
Melissa Amos:on. Yeah. Now could I do the work on myself? So I do feel safe
Melissa Amos:having the Ferrari, probably. But right now, where I am, those two
Melissa Amos:things are so disjointed
Melissa Amos:that I'm glad that one never appeared on my driveway.
Beth Hewitt:Yeah. And I think this happens all the time, isn't it? This is
Beth Hewitt:misalignment. There's something going on in the subconscious that is
Beth Hewitt:counter to the thing that we think we want. I want to be a
Beth Hewitt:successful businesswoman. My family might not like me anymore, whatever that is.
Beth Hewitt:There's all of these things. I want to be in a loving relationship. I always
Beth Hewitt:get hurt. There's always these mixed messages going on all the time.
Beth Hewitt:And I think sitting down and thinking about what it is that
Beth Hewitt:you want. And then also knowing
Beth Hewitt:these beliefs that we hold is a really powerful thing to
Beth Hewitt:go through. But we have to set that time. We have to do that. We
Beth Hewitt:have to identify what that is. And sometimes we might
Beth Hewitt:realize during that process that the Ferrari isn't the thing
Beth Hewitt:that we actually do want. I've been thinking more and more. I've always seen myself
Beth Hewitt:as somebody who's been quite ambitious, but lately I've been like, I just think I'll
Beth Hewitt:enjoy being a mum. And I just think I want to be a grandma
Beth Hewitt:and just knit. And these are the things now I'm thinking. I'm
Beth Hewitt:thinking, like, I'm really happy with my life now. And
Beth Hewitt:that's. I feel like that's enough right now. And these
Beth Hewitt:ambitious feelings and thoughts that I had in my twenties, I'm now
Beth Hewitt:thinking I can still have all of these nice things, but I'm more
Beth Hewitt:comfortable and happy. I just love being family is more
Beth Hewitt:important to me than a mansion. And I think we. I
Beth Hewitt:don't know, sometimes I think I feel like people are striving for things and is
Beth Hewitt:it actually what they want? If you thought about. I heard
Melissa Amos:this once, I can't remember what I was listening to. Some podcast or another,
Melissa Amos:probably, and they said something like, if there was no people left in the world,
Melissa Amos:would you still want the car that you drive
Melissa Amos:and the house that you think no people, if there was no one
Melissa Amos:judging, you wouldn't want the big mansion, would you? Or would
Melissa Amos:you like, just go and pick the nice, perfectly
Melissa Amos:sized. This is just a manageable garden and
Beth Hewitt:the nice neighbors and a clean that. You don't have to pay
Melissa Amos:500 pounds a week for because she's got so many things.
Melissa Amos:And it is really interesting. And I was thinking, still drive the car
Melissa Amos:I want. Because the car I love is I'm a car
Melissa Amos:person. I've grown up with it. It's comfy and it's safe and it's. And it's
Melissa Amos:a little bit sexy too. But there's a lot of things. It put things in
Melissa Amos:perspective. Would I. Do I need all of these things? Why are we making this
Melissa Amos:choice? And this doesn't mean you can't have nice
Melissa Amos:things. It doesn't. And sometimes we want nice things
Melissa Amos:and I think that we deserve to have nice things. And
Melissa Amos:I think part of the human experience is so that we can
Melissa Amos:feel luxury and the sensuality and all of
Melissa Amos:these emotions and sensations. But
Melissa Amos:if we really get honest with ourselves about maybe I
Melissa Amos:don't want more. And in the business world, it's a real trap.
Melissa Amos:In the business world we can be like, oh, okay, I'm here. I was
Melissa Amos:talking to my coach about this the other day. I said I am where
Melissa Amos:I wanted to be. I'm actually further along where I wanted to be. And then
Melissa Amos:the year before, I was further along than where I wanted to be. Does that
Melissa Amos:mean that I need to want more now? Yeah. No,
Melissa Amos:it doesn't. Especially in the business world. It's all
Beth Hewitt:scaling and six k years, seven k years, how to
Beth Hewitt:do this, how to do that and. Yeah, is it actually what you want? Because
Beth Hewitt:with that comes lots of other things. Responsibilities and builds and
Beth Hewitt:teams and automations and all of that. I actually think that when we
Beth Hewitt:stop striving, I'm not saying don't have a vision because
Beth Hewitt:obviously that's the world that I'm in. Don't have something that you want to go
Beth Hewitt:for. But I think when you take the pressure off, the need to
Beth Hewitt:strive, you actually make it easier to have more nice things because you're
Beth Hewitt:no longer in that energy of, I need to reach
Beth Hewitt:this next milestone. I need to do all of the things, oh, it's not happening.
Beth Hewitt:So now I need to work even harder to get this. When we take the
Beth Hewitt:pressure off and go, actually, I'm really happy right now with where I'm at, with
Beth Hewitt:my life, with the balance, with the income, with my family,
Beth Hewitt:with the things that bring me joy. I'm really happy. I can just experience
Beth Hewitt:and experience more of this and being in that space
Beth Hewitt:of just having full gratitude and appreciation for all of that.
Beth Hewitt:Where you are right now in the present, you attract more of that nice stuff,
Beth Hewitt:and sometimes that's an upgrade, just naturally the new car
Beth Hewitt:or the new house, but it's not. I need
Beth Hewitt:to reach a million pounds before I can have the mansion. It's a
Beth Hewitt:different energy, it's a different space, and
Beth Hewitt:I don't know where it is. I think we're just raised on this
Beth Hewitt:energy of, you have to do your best, you have to get good
Beth Hewitt:grades, you have to go to university, you have to have the nice house. You
Beth Hewitt:need to keep up with the Joneses that we forget to
Beth Hewitt:check in with us. What do we want? Yes,
Beth Hewitt:what do we want? It's an
Melissa Amos:interesting concept. If we start to think about, am I
Melissa Amos:manifesting from the space of fear? I want to have this
Melissa Amos:because that's what they do. I need to have this so that I am
Melissa Amos:comfortable in my retirement, because I don't want to run out of money. I need
Melissa Amos:to have this so that I can pay my bills if something happens,
Melissa Amos:or blah, blah, blah, I need to make more, because what if this
Melissa Amos:stops? What if there's tomorrow? What if nobody wants to
Melissa Amos:buy my things or my employer tells me I'm not employed anymore or whatever?
Melissa Amos:I need to have this car because then people
Melissa Amos:will respect me. All of that is really coming from this
Melissa Amos:fear based. It's coming from lack,
Melissa Amos:right? Which is fine, and it
Melissa Amos:works. But if we're feeling that sense of lack and
Melissa Amos:even lack of connection to my spirit team, I'm feeling that sense of lack in
Melissa Amos:any way. It's important to notice that and go, okay, that's interesting, that this
Melissa Amos:fearsome happening. Because if I believe in the law of attraction,
Melissa Amos:then I do believe that we live in an abundant world and that there's everything
Melissa Amos:available to us. And now we've identified this discord.
Melissa Amos:Okay, I believe that, but I don't really believe that because I'm manifesting
Melissa Amos:from this. And so then our job is to begin to bring the
Melissa Amos:healing and the understanding, and where did that programming come from and where
Melissa Amos:did I find that belief? What makes me think that I can't have this and
Melissa Amos:this, or it has to be this or this, and we can start
Melissa Amos:this self inquiry. This is that. Know thyself again. Because
Melissa Amos:when we manifest from a sense of
Melissa Amos:abundance, of joy, of what's possible,
Melissa Amos:of sense of safety, from a sense of
Melissa Amos:inspired thought, then nothing's going to stop us.
Melissa Amos:I think what happens for many of us now I want to say this, the
Melissa Amos:fear is a good thing because I think what happens for many of us, we
Melissa Amos:get this inspired thought and we're like, oh,
Melissa Amos:look at what is possible. I can go and do that. And we start
Melissa Amos:to take the steps forward and then suddenly all the things that are stopping you
Melissa Amos:moving there, the law of attraction is working with you going, you do not feel
Melissa Amos:safe to do that. You can't do that. If you get here without
Melissa Amos:sorting this out, then you're just not bad things going to happen.
Melissa Amos:But you're going to have to deal with this at some point. And now you're
Melissa Amos:moving forward. If you're in your comfort zone, the fear thing will
Melissa Amos:never have come up. I move two, three steps forward, bang.
Melissa Amos:Oh, my God. What if everyone comes and takes your money away from you? Or
Melissa Amos:what if. Or, well, I need to make sure that, blah, blah, blah. I
Melissa Amos:need to now scale from six k months to ten k months to
Melissa Amos:20k months to 6 million months. I need to do that. When that
Melissa Amos:comes up, then it's our job, okay? How do I regulate? How do I understand
Melissa Amos:myself? What's really going on here? What are my intentions? What is it that
Melissa Amos:I want to really receive? And then you're in
Melissa Amos:this path of least resistance. Then you don't have the bungee rope
Melissa Amos:all knotted up behind you going, you can
Melissa Amos:go this far, but not too far because your family will
Melissa Amos:reject you or you'll be too big for your boots or everyone
Melissa Amos:will come and expect things from you or your partner will
Melissa Amos:leave you or whatever it is. Don't ignore it.
Melissa Amos:By ignoring it, you're not high vibing your way out of it, you're just
Melissa Amos:keeping the bungee rope tight. Yeah,
Beth Hewitt:I think as well, consistency with that. I think
Beth Hewitt:sometimes we're onto a good thing, especially in business. You
Beth Hewitt:might achieve something, you might have a, you know, massive success,
Beth Hewitt:and then all of a sudden you think, right now I need the next thing,
Beth Hewitt:a new thing. I need to evolve into something else,
Beth Hewitt:3.0 version of what I've just done, when
Beth Hewitt:it's actually just enjoy what has just
Beth Hewitt:happened and create some level of consistency around it.
Beth Hewitt:If it worked and you enjoyed it and it was easy and there wasn't any
Beth Hewitt:resistance, then why would you not want to do
Beth Hewitt:more of that? And you can still tweak it. We naturally evolve
Beth Hewitt:anyway, like you were saying right at the beginning, the first time you did your
Beth Hewitt:challenge, it was a very, even though it was the same challenge, I'm
Beth Hewitt:sure you've changed it as you've been going along, but even though the premise of
Beth Hewitt:it is the same, we have naturally
Beth Hewitt:evolved. You have naturally evolved just by going
Beth Hewitt:through the motions a number of times and having that level of consistency. You're better
Beth Hewitt:at what you do today because you've gone through those different
Beth Hewitt:iterations, but you've stuck to the same message. And I think sometimes we're
Beth Hewitt:so keen to just throw the baby out with the bathwater
Beth Hewitt:and start something completely new
Beth Hewitt:when actually we don't always need to
Beth Hewitt:be striving for something so
Beth Hewitt:different we can use and take
Beth Hewitt:the same messages again. It's good to change, it's good
Beth Hewitt:to shake things up. But there's also something that comes with a level of
Beth Hewitt:consistency. When you look at anything that we do consistently,
Beth Hewitt:we have that snowball compound
Beth Hewitt:effect and it is by its very nature
Beth Hewitt:different because we're different. We've evolved, the practice has evolved. We've got
Beth Hewitt:better at what we're doing. This works. So now I'm just going to keep on
Melissa Amos:doing this and I can't change anything. And that is coming from this.
Melissa Amos:Control energy. Control energy
Melissa Amos:isn't. It comes from lack. I need to do everything because
Melissa Amos:I don't trust that the universe is going to help me grow and help me
Melissa Amos:expand. And if something comes and throws
Melissa Amos:itself in my way, it means
Melissa Amos:I shouldn't be doing this or I'm not good enough or there we go. It
Melissa Amos:proved my point. My feeling is the universe doesn't work this
Melissa Amos:way. And this comes back to how safe do I feel in my
Melissa Amos:connection and my growth and my evolution. I'm never going to evolve if you don't
Melissa Amos:feel safe in who you are or who you're
Melissa Amos:becoming. And so there's a huge conversation around that.
Melissa Amos:But if we start with this, this is what I was saying in the practice
Melissa Amos:group, we've done a lot of work this week and they're like, they're very intense
Melissa Amos:because we're there every day and we're doing these tasks and we're growing and we're
Melissa Amos:growing and it's. You didn't get to the end here and now I'm going to
Melissa Amos:give you a certificate of life going, there we go. Hit your
Melissa Amos:connection. Your higher self is now your bestie buddy.
Melissa Amos:And this is. You don't need to. That's it. Like the graduation. Yeah.
Melissa Amos:No, it's this consistency and this persistency. How
Melissa Amos:do I keep on going even when it's tough, or how do I keep
Melissa Amos:on going even when it's easy? Because then we're like, oh, life is great, I'm
Melissa Amos:stopped. No, we need. It's a practice. All of this manifestation is
Melissa Amos:a practice. You're cultivating. Peace is a practice.
Melissa Amos:Feeling safe in your body is a practice. And why is it called a
Melissa Amos:practice? Because you've got to practice it. You can't just do it while you
Melissa Amos:can't go on the retreat. I'm buzzing. And
Melissa Amos:then never do any work again. Yeah,
Beth Hewitt:unfortunately. Yeah, unfortunately. That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Melissa Amos:Right Uniruv. I've done the work. I went on the course. Look at how much
Melissa Amos:money I paid. I've got this, like, image of like a british
Beth Hewitt:gas when they come out and service the boilers. You don't need to do any
Beth Hewitt:work anymore because, like, the spiritual serviceman's going to come out and just check that
Beth Hewitt:you're at the right levels. Like, your intuition and your connection is just. You're all
Beth Hewitt:dialed in. I have this, I work with a
Melissa Amos:Shaolin master, and he really does push me.
Melissa Amos:And we've had a bit of a break for a while because he needs to
Melissa Amos:go off and do it on his own. And I saw him yesterday and we
Melissa Amos:were talking about this exact thing, and I was like,
Melissa Amos:because he gave me some practices to do and I was doing the practices, but
Melissa Amos:these aren't like immediate result things. These are the tasks that you do
Melissa Amos:something. Oh, wow. I've got these energetic kind of
Melissa Amos:these things and I was doing them very well and then wasn't seeing
Melissa Amos:massive changes. And I was like, I don't know what I was expecting, like some
Melissa Amos:certificate to come down from heaven
Melissa Amos:being fireworks and celebrations. He said
Melissa Amos:to me, I can write you a certificate if you want.
Melissa Amos:I just need, I just. For me, I just needed that.
Melissa Amos:I think it was August last time I saw him. I was like, I just
Melissa Amos:needed that revisit so that I know
Melissa Amos:where I am. And then I could see, see when I let that practice
Melissa Amos:fall, how I started to slip back and I could see
Melissa Amos:it very clearly, whereas where I was seeing him consistently,
Melissa Amos:I could see the upward and sometimes downward, but mainly
Melissa Amos:the upward growth. And that was a big realization for me
Melissa Amos:yesterday, that I do the work,
Melissa Amos:but it's the work I'm resisting and I do.
Beth Hewitt:Yeah. The work I'm resisting that needs the
Melissa Amos:persistence. I love that. And I love that you had that
Beth Hewitt:conversation yesterday as well. So everyone who's listening, this
Melissa Amos:is your job. We find a practice. Start with one that you love
Melissa Amos:or that you enjoy or that, you know works or that, you know, your
Melissa Amos:mentor or whatever. There's plenty of practices that Beth
Melissa Amos:and I can share with you and start
Melissa Amos:it. And when it gets too hard or difficult or something comes up, that's
Melissa Amos:not the universe telling you to stop, that the universe is saying to
Melissa Amos:you, here we go. Well done. You've got this far. Now
Melissa Amos:you're strong enough to work with this thing that's come up and work with it
Melissa Amos:and just keep coming back to do I
Melissa Amos:feel safe? And your body will tell you straight away whether you feel
Melissa Amos:safe in that or not. Love that. Good advice. Okay,
Beth Hewitt:Mel, until next time. Until next time. Have a super
Melissa Amos:day.
