Synchronicities: How the Universe Guides and Confirms Our Path

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:00

Good morning, Mel. Good morning, Beth. We're just sat here

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:03

going through the motions, just having a whole

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:07

giggle about what we're going to do today.

Melissa Amos: 00:00:10

Life is full of synchronicities, and when we take that

Melissa Amos: 00:00:14

inspired action, the universe just

Melissa Amos: 00:00:17

delivers again and again. Yeah,

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:20

absolutely. We're going to continue from the theme of last

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:24

week's episode, and we're going to talk more about synchronicities

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:28

today. If you remember, last week, we were talking about.

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:32

We talked a lot about flying last week. And

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:35

following that podcast episode, both myself and

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:39

Mel had synchronicities linked to flying.

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:42

So we're going to talk about more of that today or not. All of these

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:45

things that are kind of in our life path, whether it's people or experiences

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:49

or situations that happened, that maybe take us down a different path

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:52

or start to align, and it's. We don't realize until after an event. That's

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:56

why that thing happened the way it did, or people stepped in

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:00

and helped us at times of need and things like that. So let's

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:04

continue with the theme of synchronicities. I've

Melissa Amos: 00:01:07

got so much to say. Let's start with the synchronicities. So,

Melissa Amos: 00:01:12

on last week's

Melissa Amos: 00:01:15

call that we actually recorded yesterday. And

Melissa Amos: 00:01:19

why is this significant? Because yesterday I pulled a card

Melissa Amos: 00:01:23

while we were on the podcast, but it was just

Melissa Amos: 00:01:27

sitting here. And then yesterday I had one of my coaching

Melissa Amos: 00:01:30

calls, and I pulled the same

Melissa Amos: 00:01:34

card. And then this morning, I had the cards in my

Melissa Amos: 00:01:38

hand, and I'm giving them a good shuffle. Pull the same

Melissa Amos: 00:01:41

card, and this card is this beautiful

Melissa Amos: 00:01:44

angel with six wings. And you think that yesterday,

Melissa Amos: 00:01:48

in last week's episode, we were talking about flying and

Melissa Amos: 00:01:52

wings and the winged ones and birds and the rainbow colours, and this

Melissa Amos: 00:01:56

card is all of that. So it's Seraphim's

Melissa Amos: 00:01:59

gateway from the gateway of light activation,

Melissa Amos: 00:02:03

oracle by Kyle gray. And it's like,

Melissa Amos: 00:02:07

literally rainbow wings. So then I go to

Melissa Amos: 00:02:10

yoga, and my teacher, who

Melissa Amos: 00:02:13

has never once in the three or

Melissa Amos: 00:02:17

more years that I've been going, starts, gets us to do

Melissa Amos: 00:02:21

this thing. And she's, it's, imagine that you're flying. And I

Melissa Amos: 00:02:24

giggled and then messaged Beth as soon as I

Melissa Amos: 00:02:28

finished, I'm like, my teacher's talking about flying. What's going on?

Melissa Amos: 00:02:32

And then Beth messaged me and has

Melissa Amos: 00:02:35

a. So I do readings every Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:39

inside my membership group. And yesterday morning,

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:44

the card that came out was the bat card, which is the bat of, it's

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:47

about consciousness, or rebirth of consciousness and flying and freedom and

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:51

realigning to that consciousness to be who you want to be, to feel

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:55

free. And so we'd got the beautiful bat card

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:59

had arrived. So I messaged that back to

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:02

Mel. And then not only has Mel

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:06

pulled her card this morning, I pulled a card which, if you

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:10

look. So this is from the unicorn, the oracle of the unicorns. So

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:14

there's different kinds of unicorns, got big wings and some have got small wings,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:17

but this is quite magnificent unicorn with similar

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:21

colours to your card, actually, it's got the rainbow back. Yeah.

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:25

And then these giant big wings, and it says, leap into the

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:29

unknown. Have faith and move forward. Believe that you will

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:32

fly. So when we joined today's call, we were like, this

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:36

is definitely what we're supposed to be talking, talking about

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:40

today. So I'm here for it. But I would say

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:43

that whenever we connect, like, this whole

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:47

podcast is called soul inspired you, because it is about

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:51

us fully having faith and belief in whatever comes up and through. And

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:54

that we talk about is exactly what we're supposed to be talking about. It's completely

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:58

unscripted, and I think sometimes we forget that that's the premise of the

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:01

show. But there's been so many synchronicities that just me and you have had

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:05

just even, like, what we were wearing yesterday with the black, today we're

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:09

wearing our hair up. I never wear my hair up. I've got my hair up

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:13

and I've got. You've got your shawl, and I've got, like, a nice Shirley type

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:16

cardigan on. And there's always synchronicities. There's always things that

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:20

seem to align. And I think this is

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:23

true for everybody, and I think it's just having that awareness of that and

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:27

noticing some of those things. So

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:31

let's talk about that. It's more than that, because I think

Melissa Amos: 00:04:34

the synchronicities happen, and should you be open to

Melissa Amos: 00:04:38

them? I think the difference between. I don't believe in coincidence, but

Melissa Amos: 00:04:42

I think the difference between a coincidence and a

Melissa Amos: 00:04:46

is that the synchronicity, for me, is like a

Melissa Amos: 00:04:49

confirmation that you've done something, that you've taken the

Melissa Amos: 00:04:53

right step, that you're on the right path. Because

Melissa Amos: 00:04:57

if you think about what a synchronicity is and what is

Melissa Amos: 00:05:01

involved in a synchronicity, so let's say it is that you and

Melissa Amos: 00:05:05

I both turn up wearing the same

Melissa Amos: 00:05:08

outfit, right? If you think about what that would take

Melissa Amos: 00:05:12

from a divine orchestration point of view, like, it's

Melissa Amos: 00:05:16

mad, because I would have to think about.

Melissa Amos: 00:05:20

I don't know, I'd have to feel a certain way in order to pick a

Melissa Amos: 00:05:23

certain outfit out of my wardrobe and think that it's a

Melissa Amos: 00:05:27

certain color. And we don't live in the same part of the country as well.

Melissa Amos: 00:05:30

So the weather's going to have an implication on that,

Melissa Amos: 00:05:33

too. And it would have had to have

Melissa Amos: 00:05:37

been washed, and it would have had to. Whatever it is. There's all of these

Melissa Amos: 00:05:40

steps that need to happen in order for

Melissa Amos: 00:05:44

me to make a decision and you to make a decision, and

Melissa Amos: 00:05:48

for that to be. Just to be the decision. On the day

Melissa Amos: 00:05:52

that we are meeting up, like so much the

Melissa Amos: 00:05:55

birds in the. In last week's episode that just

Melissa Amos: 00:05:59

landed on that, I have never seen it, like, for the bird to take

Melissa Amos: 00:06:02

that step for whatever reason, and maybe it was because

Melissa Amos: 00:06:05

somebody or something put something in their garden or

Melissa Amos: 00:06:09

I. Whatever, but I had to be there at the right time, looking at that

Melissa Amos: 00:06:13

point out my window. Like, when we think about that and the

Melissa Amos: 00:06:17

steps that need to happen in order for a synchronicity

Melissa Amos: 00:06:20

to come about, it blows your mind.

Melissa Amos: 00:06:25

But what that tells me is if that is the case, if it is

Melissa Amos: 00:06:29

some divine orchestration that our job

Melissa Amos: 00:06:32

is to listen to that intuition, to

Melissa Amos: 00:06:36

listen to that even instinct, to take

Melissa Amos: 00:06:40

the action, to show up, to make a move.

Melissa Amos: 00:06:44

Because without the move, you'd just be sitting in your room and we wouldn't know

Melissa Amos: 00:06:47

that we're wearing the same outfit, for example. And

Melissa Amos: 00:06:51

it, for me, it's this confirmation that, yes, you've done it. You've done the

Melissa Amos: 00:06:54

right thing. You've listened to your intuition. Because otherwise I would have gone that way

Melissa Amos: 00:06:58

and not that way, and I would have completely missed the whole thing. Yeah,

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:02

I think it's that easy. It comes back that easy and hard feeling that we've

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:05

talked about, we've spoken about before. It's that. It's that

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:08

alignment. It is a confirmation that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:12

right now, on my path. And hurry, you're here. You're doing exactly what you're

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:16

supposed to be doing. Because I think there's so much talk around, I haven't done

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:19

this. I'm so far behind, or it's not meant for me, or I should have

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:23

done this ages ago, or we're never going to make it,

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:26

whatever. There is no cosmic alarm clock that's about to

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:30

go off. We are exactly where we're supposed to be.

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:34

So have you got examples? I've got a few examples from, like, my life and

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:38

when things have aligned, that

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:42

we can maybe talk about. But I would say. I would say, like everything, if

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:45

you pan out all the way out on your life, like everything's

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:49

aligned, right? Everything's happened exactly when it was supposed to happen. But when you're in

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:52

the moment, when you're there, or when the outcome to something isn't how

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:56

you would have wanted it to be, then when you don't necessarily

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:00

give yourself that grace to go, oh, hang on a minute, something better is coming

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:04

for me. This all. Which

Melissa Amos: 00:08:08

isn't always easy in the moment. It isn't. It is this

Melissa Amos: 00:08:11

or better. So if it's the case that synchronicities show up when you're

Melissa Amos: 00:08:15

on your path, does that mean that you can have a wrong

Melissa Amos: 00:08:19

path? No, I think we're all heading to the

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:22

theme destination or the version of our

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:26

destination. It's about how. It's about when

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:30

you choose to bring yourself back to in alignment with the

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:33

true essence of you. I think that's where we're being who we want to

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:37

be. I did that post last week because I've been having

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:41

a difficult year, but I've been goofing around in the last couple of weeks and

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:44

it's felt more aligned to who I am. And I think sometimes we forget to

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:48

be who we are, or we try to prescribe

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:51

to professional, professional male

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:55

or to strategic beth or strategic mel. And I think in doing

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:58

that, we forget who we are. And then it just

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:02

gets easier. When I had so much fun last week,

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:06

and that really benefited my business more

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:10

than any sales post or some kind

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:13

of launch strategy, just being me, just being fun.

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:17

Like, it doesn't detract away

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:20

from what you're trying to achieve, as long as you be new and you're doing

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:24

you and you feel comfortable being you. And that's sometimes

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:27

the hard part, isn't it? The feeling

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:31

comfortable being ourselves. Because a lot of the time we're

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:34

thinking about what other people are thinking about us and all of these things. But

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:37

we're going off on a tangent there. I'm literally going off the path.

Melissa Amos: 00:09:41

For me, that's the journey, is the knowing yourself.

Melissa Amos: 00:09:45

And those synchronicities that we see and feel

Melissa Amos: 00:09:49

are confirmation that we're doing it. When we're not getting a

Melissa Amos: 00:09:52

lot of synchronicity is coming up. Does that mean that we've

Melissa Amos: 00:09:56

gone off path? It doesn't mean we've gone off path. It just means

Melissa Amos: 00:10:00

that we've taken the detour. It means that we've gone the longer

Melissa Amos: 00:10:04

way rounds. And for some, that is the scenic route and that's beautiful and that's

Melissa Amos: 00:10:07

fine. And we're taking a break from, from this

Melissa Amos: 00:10:11

journey, taking a little vacation. And for some,

Melissa Amos: 00:10:14

that path is the arduous walk

Melissa Amos: 00:10:18

up the hike up the mountain, and

Melissa Amos: 00:10:21

both will have benefit. Sometimes you need to rest and

Melissa Amos: 00:10:25

recharge. Sometimes you need to really push yourself. What I'm

Melissa Amos: 00:10:28

learning more and more is the more that I

Melissa Amos: 00:10:33

take action before the universe starts squeezing

Melissa Amos: 00:10:36

me. Yeah. The

Melissa Amos: 00:10:40

more, like, now, the thing with that is it does take.

Melissa Amos: 00:10:44

Courageous and it does take, oh, God, am I going to be rocking

Melissa Amos: 00:10:48

the boat? And do I really want to do this? And

Melissa Amos: 00:10:51

what are the consequences of this? Because things are nice and

Melissa Amos: 00:10:55

comfy over here and I've worked so hard to get here. Something comes

Melissa Amos: 00:10:59

and you're like, I'm going to stretch it before I

Melissa Amos: 00:11:03

get the real push and shove, like before. It

Melissa Amos: 00:11:07

necessarily has to become not so much from a free will

Melissa Amos: 00:11:11

option just. As you're talking about that,

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:14

because I've experienced that where the universe squeezes

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:17

you. And that's not always

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:21

the. If you've left that for a long period of time, that's not always a

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:24

good place to be. But it's like that door is always

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:28

going to. On that path, that door that you're wanting to step through is always

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:31

going to be available for you to step through. It's always going to open

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:34

regardless of whether you're taking

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:37

action or whether the universe is going to have to kick you to the backside

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:40

to get you through that door. So taking action in any form,

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:44

however small, we've talked about the baby steps before, is going to

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:48

build that momentum so that the passage through that door is a

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:52

lot, is. Feels a lot flowier and easier

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:55

than if you were like two steps away from the door. But the

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:59

door keeps you pulling it, and then you're not pulling it or whatever. You're putting

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:02

your foot in, your foot out, you're doing the hooky cookie, whatever. So you're going

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:06

to step through the door regardless. So why not give yourself the best chance of

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:09

flowing through the door rather. Than

Melissa Amos: 00:12:12

if you find that the door is just there and you want to come

Melissa Amos: 00:12:16

and move through it, but it's like you've got this bungee rope pulling you back,

Melissa Amos: 00:12:20

then those are the challenges and the opportunities

Melissa Amos: 00:12:24

that we have to really know ourselves more. Because I think that's what

Melissa Amos: 00:12:27

it always comes down to. Like these, if you want to call them lessons from

Melissa Amos: 00:12:31

the universe or tests or challenges or whatever they are, which

Melissa Amos: 00:12:35

I don't think they're imposed on us I think they become part of our

Melissa Amos: 00:12:38

growth and part of how we stretch ourselves,

Melissa Amos: 00:12:42

how we resource ourselves so that when we move through the door that we

Melissa Amos: 00:12:46

have the resources that we need. Like we were talking

Melissa Amos: 00:12:50

about the computer game, so

Melissa Amos: 00:12:53

now I know how to jump and collect a mushroom, or now

Melissa Amos: 00:12:57

I know how to whatever it is, or I've collected

Melissa Amos: 00:13:00

that item that's now going to go in my inventory, which

Melissa Amos: 00:13:04

I needed before I went in. And when we start

Melissa Amos: 00:13:08

to, just like in a computer game, if you know you're going the right

Melissa Amos: 00:13:12

way, especially on the. On these platform games where you can actually

Melissa Amos: 00:13:16

go anywhere, you know you're on the right path when the little golden

Melissa Amos: 00:13:19

rings come up or the. Whatever it is. And I think that the universe is

Melissa Amos: 00:13:23

the same like that. It gives you these little rewards, it gives you these time

Melissa Amos: 00:13:27

stamps, it gives you these fancy golden

Melissa Amos: 00:13:30

mushrooms or not, or fungi of choice

Melissa Amos: 00:13:33

to. To reassure you, to fuel

Melissa Amos: 00:13:37

you to go, yep, this is good. You're not going down some

Melissa Amos: 00:13:41

deep, dark thing, but sometimes we go down the deep, dark thing in the game

Melissa Amos: 00:13:44

and we find ourselves in a. One of those green pipes

Melissa Amos: 00:13:49

in Mario, and then you're. And then you're in this whole other world, which you

Melissa Amos: 00:13:53

never would have experienced had you have just stuck on the

Melissa Amos: 00:13:56

path. Is there a wrong or right way? No.

Melissa Amos: 00:14:00

I think our job is what brings me joy. What do I

Melissa Amos: 00:14:03

love? What is my passion? That's one

Melissa Amos: 00:14:07

thing following that. The other thing is, where am I

Melissa Amos: 00:14:11

restricted? Where do I doubt myself? Where have I created

Melissa Amos: 00:14:15

patterns, programs, beliefs that aren't in

Melissa Amos: 00:14:18

alignment to who I know

Melissa Amos: 00:14:22

myself to be and going and facing that,

Melissa Amos: 00:14:26

too. That's not the wrong path. This is not necessarily an easy path,

Melissa Amos: 00:14:30

but it's so rewarding and so

Melissa Amos: 00:14:33

healing and so that then we can move into these new versions of us

Melissa Amos: 00:14:37

that we all seem to be craving. I really love the,

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:41

the game analogy because there's different kinds of

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:44

games. Like with the Mario one or the Sonic the Hedgehog

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:48

one, for example. You know, that there's. It's very linear. There's a

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:52

direct path, there's a. You can go down or you can go up, or you

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:55

can go around the loops, whatever, but there's a. There's an end. Or especially the

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:59

games that we used to play, the original Marion. It's very different now,

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:03

like the Sims or Call of Duty, where you've got more control

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:07

over who you be and the conversations that you have

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:10

and the battles that you choose, that kind of thing. And I

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:14

think that's why sometimes we forget, because

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:18

we live in this world where we get to make choices and we get to

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:21

choose and we get to go down different paths and we get to go backwards

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:24

or forwards or left or right or whatever and wear whatever we want to wear,

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:28

we forget that there is an end, there's a

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:31

flag, there's a Mario jump at the end kind of thing for

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:35

us to experience, and I think we get caught up in that

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:38

sometimes. But like you say, like the games,

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:42

like, where you get to have conversations and meet people and jam and

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:46

make decisions that are different and can take you down different

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:49

routes, there's. For me, and this is an interesting thought as

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:53

well, is like, there's far more reward in that, right?

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:57

Especially if. And even though it's incredibly frustrating if you feel

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:01

like you've been banging on the same door, like, for ten years

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:05

because you haven't fully integrated that

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:09

shadow side or learned that lesson, and the lesson gets harder and

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:12

harder, but when you finally do receive all of

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:16

the goodness from that lesson, that is even more powerful. That

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:20

had you walk through that door the very first time,

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:23

it's nice to go through the door. Easy peasy.

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:27

It's nice to, like, oh, I've experienced this situation a couple of times, so I'm

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:30

going to do it differently now and walk through that door. But then the

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:34

tricky one, the harder one or the one where we go around the house, there's

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:36

so many times and we feel the pain and we feel all the. Feels like

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:40

multiple times and it feels difficult, or we might get into the victim

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:43

mentality or, like, why is this happening to me? Whatever. All of those different things.

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:47

And then when we finally go through that door, that reward is

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:51

not only massive for us, but the ability

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:55

to share that with other people who are also going through

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:58

that is so much more powerful. Like, you could have

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:02

gone through the door the first time or the second time. It was like an

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:05

easy ish lesson, and you might be able to share that story with

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:08

somebody. When we've been through really tricky, difficult times,

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:12

then we get to shine our light on a whole other level.

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:16

So it's an odd dichotomy, isn't it? Like, we would. We would

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:20

like life to be easy all the time and to always be flowy, but

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:24

there is real magic that comes from the

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:28

difficulties and the challenges and the obstacles. And I'm not saying that to be some

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:31

kind of seder, whatever the word is, like, enjoying the

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:35

pain, but there is great rewards that come from that.

Melissa Amos: 00:17:38

It's the same with the game. Like, you, if

Melissa Amos: 00:17:42

you got a new game, and you did

Melissa Amos: 00:17:46

the first level and you alert. That was easy. And then the

Melissa Amos: 00:17:50

second level was exactly the same as the first level, and you were like, that

Melissa Amos: 00:17:53

was easy. Like, how long would you continue on that game before you're like, oh,

Melissa Amos: 00:17:57

my God, this is so boring. But what happens in the

Melissa Amos: 00:18:00

game is we do a level and there's a level of

Melissa Amos: 00:18:03

challenge, and then we get through it, like, amazing, and then we

Melissa Amos: 00:18:07

do another, and then we do another when we get to a point and

Melissa Amos: 00:18:11

we have to master it. And that's what makes the game good

Melissa Amos: 00:18:14

fun. That's what if I think back to when

Melissa Amos: 00:18:18

I. When I was a teen or and used to do that, it was those

Melissa Amos: 00:18:21

games like Tomb Raider, where you really had to collect the

Melissa Amos: 00:18:25

things and get that jump and defeat that

Melissa Amos: 00:18:29

whatever that really engaged

Melissa Amos: 00:18:33

you and you enjoyed, like, the ones

Melissa Amos: 00:18:37

that were just. Even someone like Tetris, who

Melissa Amos: 00:18:41

doesn't love Tetris, it was always just that really

Melissa Amos: 00:18:44

slow dunk, dunk. You

Melissa Amos: 00:18:48

just stop playing it. But as it gets harder, as it gets more

Melissa Amos: 00:18:52

challenging, and that makes it so interesting,

Melissa Amos: 00:18:55

and I think that's the same

Melissa Amos: 00:18:59

as life. And if we can look at it like, okay, this is a

Melissa Amos: 00:19:03

challenge that I'm moving through, and this is. Look at

Melissa Amos: 00:19:06

that feeling that I've got coming up. Look at that emotion that I've got coming

Melissa Amos: 00:19:10

up. Look at this difficulty, look at this support, look at this trigger, look at

Melissa Amos: 00:19:14

this discomfort, and, like,

Melissa Amos: 00:19:17

we do need to feel it. And, of course, nobody wants to do it. And

Melissa Amos: 00:19:21

I hope for everyone that they have a really nice, easy life.

Melissa Amos: 00:19:25

But a lot of the challenges, this is what I want to say. A lot

Melissa Amos: 00:19:28

of the challenges that we go through are

Melissa Amos: 00:19:33

there to help us move and grow. Yeah.

Melissa Amos: 00:19:36

And if we can zoom out on the everyday

Melissa Amos: 00:19:40

challenges, if we can zoom out from them and go, okay, what is this

Melissa Amos: 00:19:44

lesson that I'm. If there is a lesson here, what am I learning and

Melissa Amos: 00:19:47

what can I grow from this, and how can this help me in the future?

Melissa Amos: 00:19:50

If we just ask those questions? It just makes

Melissa Amos: 00:19:54

things less

Melissa Amos: 00:19:57

daunting. You could almost say, this is another thought. We'll see

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:01

where this goes. You could almost say, so, like, when we're talking about synchronicities and

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:05

coincidences, which, again, I agree that there's no such thing as a coincidence. It's

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:09

like just two things coexisted at the same time, you know, as

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:13

they are supposed to do. You can almost say that challenges are obstacles, and

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:16

life lessons that repeat themselves are synchronicities

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:21

or coincidences. But they are. They're further apart, so you can't

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:25

actually see them if you. Because I think we think about time as

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:29

linear and going in one direction, but actually, when

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:33

we zoom out and we think, take that time, construct away the

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:36

lessons, you could. I don't know if this is true. It's just what's coming

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:40

through at the minute is. Could be a synchronicity, but yet there's

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:44

bigger space between them, so we don't necessarily see the

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:47

synchronicity. Does that make sense? So it's a

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:51

repeating instance that we haven't yet

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:55

mastered. Right. But it's. I

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:59

don't know, are they one of the same or are they completely different? I think

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:02

it's. I don't know. It just dropped in. I don't know the answer to that.

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:04

But I think it's an interesting concept because they are things that repeat themselves.

Melissa Amos: 00:21:08

Yeah. And do they need to

Melissa Amos: 00:21:12

repeat themselves? Maybe they need to keep on going until you.

Melissa Amos: 00:21:16

Until you've mastered it. Maybe they do keep getting harder

Melissa Amos: 00:21:20

or they get more challenging and then you've got more, and so therefore they get

Melissa Amos: 00:21:23

easier in some way, but they're still just as

Melissa Amos: 00:21:27

frustrating, or they're just as whatever. But our goal, if we

Melissa Amos: 00:21:31

stick with this video game thing, our goal is to get through the door at

Melissa Amos: 00:21:34

the end of the thing. And you know what? I think, just like in a

Melissa Amos: 00:21:38

game, sometimes the door isn't the door leads us to the world that we don't

Melissa Amos: 00:21:42

even need to go and master it. It's just here's

Melissa Amos: 00:21:46

a fun little underground world that you can go and explore if you

Melissa Amos: 00:21:50

want to, but it's not part of the main game. You know

Melissa Amos: 00:21:53

what? I don't think life was ever meant to be easy. I think

Melissa Amos: 00:21:57

that life is meant to be filled with joy and filled

Melissa Amos: 00:22:01

with emotion and filled with this, with

Melissa Amos: 00:22:04

connection. But I think it always comes back down

Melissa Amos: 00:22:08

to know thyself. Like, I will have any conversation in the

Melissa Amos: 00:22:11

whole world, and it will always come back to know thyself.

Melissa Amos: 00:22:15

What brings you joy? What's fueling you? What are you

Melissa Amos: 00:22:19

overcoming? What is it that you want to achieve? What is it that you want

Melissa Amos: 00:22:22

to receive? What is it that you want to give? What is it that's fueled,

Melissa Amos: 00:22:26

fueling you and inspiring you? And the more we

Melissa Amos: 00:22:30

follow that, the more fuel we have, because then our soul is

Melissa Amos: 00:22:33

guiding, like, our purpose is guiding us. Our

Melissa Amos: 00:22:37

reason for being here is guiding us. And then as we're being

Melissa Amos: 00:22:41

pulled along that path, then those challenges, which is

Melissa Amos: 00:22:45

also part of our path, that we need to overcome the

Melissa Amos: 00:22:48

okay. Do you know what? I've realized that I hold a lot of judgment

Melissa Amos: 00:22:52

around something. I hold a lot of shame around something. I hold

Melissa Amos: 00:22:56

a lot of separation around something. As you're being pulled

Melissa Amos: 00:22:59

forward into your purpose, those things come up like little knots in your

Melissa Amos: 00:23:03

bungee rope. And then our job and our

Melissa Amos: 00:23:07

path, that's the obstacle. That is the okay. Now,

Melissa Amos: 00:23:10

how do I go into that and learn the moves that I need

Melissa Amos: 00:23:14

to make and what resources that I need to have and what

Melissa Amos: 00:23:18

allies I need to have to come and help me to help to

Melissa Amos: 00:23:21

untangle those? Not necessarily snip them off, but

Melissa Amos: 00:23:25

untangle those. So then you've got more slack, and then you're moving along, and then

Melissa Amos: 00:23:29

bang, it comes up again in. And those

Melissa Amos: 00:23:32

synchronicities that happen along the way hold

Melissa Amos: 00:23:36

messages and they hold information. Like that magpie

Melissa Amos: 00:23:39

that showed up in. In the first episode of

Melissa Amos: 00:23:43

season two. He showed up

Melissa Amos: 00:23:47

for so many reasons. And it wasn't just,

Melissa Amos: 00:23:51

oh, there's a confirmation. It was like, okay, there's something there

Melissa Amos: 00:23:54

about the beauty and the blackness. There's something there about

Melissa Amos: 00:23:58

what our eyes see and what's really there is something different. There's

Melissa Amos: 00:24:02

something there about going for the shiny object

Melissa Amos: 00:24:06

syndrome. And all of those themes came up for me yesterday

Melissa Amos: 00:24:10

in other different ways. And so that magpie was representing

Melissa Amos: 00:24:13

it. So as those synchronicities come up, it's okay. How

Melissa Amos: 00:24:17

is this resourcing me where it's like a signpost? Where is it

Melissa Amos: 00:24:21

guiding me to what thoughts,

Melissa Amos: 00:24:24

musings, actions are coming

Melissa Amos: 00:24:27

in that now I need to take in order

Melissa Amos: 00:24:31

to enjoy that

Melissa Amos: 00:24:34

path for another 24 hours.

Melissa Amos: 00:24:38

Till next time. Have you seen him today, mister

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:41

Magpie? I've not seen Mister Magpie today,

Melissa Amos: 00:24:45

no. He's probably in some warm nest

Melissa Amos: 00:24:49

somewhere going, oh, it's all wet and dampendeze. Probably somewhere

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:52

else with somebody else who's doing a podcast, and they're going to get infused with

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:56

his wisdom tomorrow. Be funny if he showed

Melissa Amos: 00:25:00

up now. Yeah. So just talking about synchronicities, then. So, as you were talking.

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:03

So I muted myself because I needed to cough. And as I muted myself, I'd

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:07

forgotten to take the WhatsApp off my desktop, and I got a message that went

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:11

ding dong, which would have obviously have been on the podcast had I not

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:14

muted myself at that exact moment. So

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:18

there you go. Sync. It's saying that it's probably going to get another one in

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:21

a minute, and. You could have repressed, suppressed

Melissa Amos: 00:25:25

that call, because that's

Melissa Amos: 00:25:29

the thing we do we're like, no, that's not pretty. I'm going

Melissa Amos: 00:25:32

to hold that in and then it becomes even more a

Melissa Amos: 00:25:35

problem. And that's the thing. That is the thing with life. I don't think

Melissa Amos: 00:25:39

we always have to take every action. Come on. It'd be exhausting. If every

Melissa Amos: 00:25:43

time we have something then, well, I would, I better do this. But the more

Melissa Amos: 00:25:46

we can act and have that courage, so this courage for me comes

Melissa Amos: 00:25:50

from, I know the soul is guiding me. I know that everything is

Melissa Amos: 00:25:54

happening as it needs to happen in the moment. And so if

Melissa Amos: 00:25:57

that's true, then that means that

Melissa Amos: 00:26:01

my body, my thoughts, my inspiration are

Melissa Amos: 00:26:05

all assisting me and how can

Melissa Amos: 00:26:09

I use it? That golden ring is there for a reason.

Melissa Amos: 00:26:13

And actually as I jump to go and get it, I'm like, oh, look, there's

Melissa Amos: 00:26:17

a shortcut or a long cut or a extra

Melissa Amos: 00:26:20

whatever that I can reach. Or you can go swing on

Melissa Amos: 00:26:24

past it and then you'll be like, why do I not have enough rings to

Melissa Amos: 00:26:27

beat this? I've got to go back and go and get it.

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:31

I've got a strange urge to play Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't think

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:35

I've got Sonic the Hedgehog or maybe they're in the loft or something, but I've

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:37

got this urge to play it. But old times coming

Melissa Amos: 00:26:40

out. I've not seen any of the movies. They're quite good. They

Melissa Amos: 00:26:44

are there. And there's a new movie coming out because I went to go and

Melissa Amos: 00:26:47

see Beetlejuice, which was ridiculously hilarious.

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:51

I've seen such mixed reviews about it, but I think I will enjoy

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:55

it. It is ridiculous. Like it's Tim

Melissa Amos: 00:26:59

Burton. I like that though. Yeah, ridiculous. Don't go there expecting

Melissa Amos: 00:27:02

some deep philosophical and the storyline is

Melissa Amos: 00:27:06

obvious and but for me, like seeing

Melissa Amos: 00:27:10

Winona Ryder when I was a teen, she was like my hero.

Melissa Amos: 00:27:13

I'm like, yeah, I love Emojd and

Melissa Amos: 00:27:17

what's Jenna Ortega and Catherine O'Hara is just like one of my

Melissa Amos: 00:27:21

favorite actresses. She is just so extra and she was

Melissa Amos: 00:27:24

so extra in the movie. If you've seen Schitt's Creek,

Melissa Amos: 00:27:28

have you ever watched that? I love that. And she's

Melissa Amos: 00:27:32

extra like that. So yeah, I enjoyed it. My

Melissa Amos: 00:27:35

twelve year old was like what is this? What was that? What

Melissa Amos: 00:27:39

is going on, mummy? And we saw the sonic

Melissa Amos: 00:27:43

advertising. He's like, can we go and see that next time? I'm like, yes,

Melissa Amos: 00:27:47

we can. I love that, though. Had you not been to see Beetlejuice, I'm sure

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:51

he would have come across the Sonic the hedgehog movie, maybe he wouldn't have realized

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:54

that it was. We may not have known. And we might go there and we

Melissa Amos: 00:27:57

might see something, or they might be like, do you always take these, like, deep

Melissa Amos: 00:28:01

philosophy, whatever? Even in Beetlejuice, I can find some deep

Melissa Amos: 00:28:04

philosophical discussions to start to have, let alone how much I

Melissa Amos: 00:28:08

connected with Lydia, who's a psychic medium in the

Melissa Amos: 00:28:11

movie. And the kids are like, oh, God, mum.

Melissa Amos: 00:28:15

And I, like, is that what my kids think of me? Don't tell them what

Melissa Amos: 00:28:18

mummy does at school. They all know. So, yeah, it's a fun

Melissa Amos: 00:28:22

game. And those synchronicities are. If we can

Melissa Amos: 00:28:26

think of those synchronicities as the rings or the

Melissa Amos: 00:28:29

mushrooms or the resources that we need to move forward,

Melissa Amos: 00:28:33

and there's these little signposts and we're like, okay, why might I need

Melissa Amos: 00:28:37

that? What might. How might that come in useful at some

Melissa Amos: 00:28:41

point? Is this something for me, then, that will

Melissa Amos: 00:28:44

help us live this more inspired life?
