Episode 65

The Role of Journaling in Self Discovery

Published on: 18th October, 2024

In episode 65, Beth and Melissa discuss the practice of journaling and its transformative benefits.

Beth shares her new approach to journaling, which includes reflecting on daily experiences, asking insightful questions, and tying this into her scripting and visualisation techniques.

They hosts explore how journaling can help recognise synchronicities and bring more mindfulness and gratitude into one’s life.

The discussion touches on themes of intention, alignment, and the universe working in favour of one's goals and they talk about the importance of paying attention to signs and how being intentional can profoundly impact personal growth and spiritual practices.

Melissa proposes a future session where they channel messages from star beings, adding a spiritual dimension to the journaling insights - stay tuned for that one!

Speaker:

Good morning, Beth. Good morning, Melissa. How are you

Speaker:

doing? I'm doing wonderfully.

Speaker:

How are you? I'm good. I've been up ages, which is unheard

Speaker:

of. I didn't sleep very well last night, but I'm full of energy for some

Speaker:

reason. So I'm 06:00 a.m. club. I did,

Speaker:

it wasn't quite, it was like 645, but,

Speaker:

yeah, my other half gets up, his alarm goes up at 630,

Speaker:

and normally I don't hear him get up. And I was like, I'm awake,

Speaker:

so I'm gonna get up. So I've been up here just, like, very

Speaker:

pleased with myself. Yeah, see, when you don't try to do the 06:00 a.m.

Speaker:

club, but you. Seeded that intention

Speaker:

and out it goes. I wondered

Speaker:

if we should talk about journaling today, because I don't think we've talked about journaling

Speaker:

before, and I have been trying out for about

Speaker:

the last ten days, trying out a new approach to journaling.

Speaker:

I've journaled for many years, but I've been

Speaker:

doing journaling and linking that to, like,

Speaker:

dovetailing that more with the scripting that I do and the visualization that I do

Speaker:

and, like, the things you have on your to do list. So I thought maybe

Speaker:

we could just talk about, it's just up front of mind. So I wondered if

Speaker:

we could talk about journaling today and the powers of journaling. Let's

Speaker:

do it. Let's do that. Journaling, for me,

Speaker:

it's one of those, it's one of those things that I resist doing,

Speaker:

and I don't know why I, and when I do

Speaker:

it, I get so much depth of

Speaker:

information. Yeah, I do as well.

Speaker:

I think it's about asking the right questions and being open and

Speaker:

allowing for that. But, yeah, I had that same resistance as well. Like scripting, I've

Speaker:

got pretty good, solid habit built

Speaker:

around that, but journaling, not so much. And I'm also

Speaker:

dovetailing it into my gratitude now as well. And it's, I'm blown away.

Speaker:

What is coming up and through one of the things and you

Speaker:

might do, you have specific journaling prompts that you sometimes ask yourself. But one

Speaker:

of the or two of the questions that I am asking

Speaker:

myself daily now, I've missed, like, one day out

Speaker:

of the last ten days is what do I need more of? And

Speaker:

what do I need less of right now in the

Speaker:

moment? And every day has been different. Like,

Speaker:

sometimes you might be in a really profound mood and you're like, oh,

Speaker:

I need balance and space and

Speaker:

all of this thing. Other times, it might be like, I need some water or

Speaker:

I need some chocolate, or, I need to shut the

Speaker:

door. I need to be grumpy. I need to be grumpy. Yeah.

Speaker:

And so it's a really simple or two really simple questions, but

Speaker:

the answers to them in themselves are quite profound, because I think

Speaker:

it's just speaking to you in the moment around where you're at. It's like

Speaker:

meeting you where you are. And the answer that comes up is, for

Speaker:

me, it has been almost like an instant, like I've not really had to ruminate

Speaker:

on it for too long. It's been boom. That's what I need right now in

Speaker:

this moment. Did you just see that? Yeah. What was that? Was that your side

Speaker:

of my side? No.

Speaker:

We'll have to watch some thing.

Speaker:

And I'm going to tell you what I was asking in my

Speaker:

head. I was thinking, who are you asking? So I was

Speaker:

thinking. I'm thinking, who are you asking when you do those journal prompts?

Speaker:

And what was it? It was, like, this white. Was it a light or was

Speaker:

it a feather? Well, I couldn't see anything. I think it was

Speaker:

an orb. There was this, like, white. It was,

Speaker:

like, feathery. It was like a fairy. Oh, my goodness. We did say. I didn't

Speaker:

we. Last time that we heard the voice. Oh, my God. I didn't listen

Speaker:

to the voice. I was in the car when you sent it to me, and

Speaker:

I was like, oh, listen to when I can get some headphones in,

Speaker:

I will listen to that. So now we've had voices and orbs.

Speaker:

Yeah. So I'll tell you something interesting about that. So before I sent you the

Speaker:

voice, I was. I tried to. I got all in my

Speaker:

head about it, and I started, like, changing the volume and the

Speaker:

intensity, like, messing around with the sound, and it disappeared. It

Speaker:

went. And I felt like, oh, yeah, I'm not supposed to mess

Speaker:

with that. I wasn't supposed to mess with it. Like, it was in its

Speaker:

truest form. Then I was like, undo all of that. Delete that. Forget I did

Speaker:

that. And then it came back in. It's, like, true story. And then I was

Speaker:

able to send it to you, but, yeah, I was like, shouldn't mess

Speaker:

with. We can be included. I know, I know. But I did think it was

Speaker:

almost like, nah, if you're not gonna receive it in. It's in the

Speaker:

form. If that's not loud enough. If that's not loud enough for you,

Speaker:

Beth, then, yeah. Okay. So. So

Speaker:

who are you asking Bethehem when you're asking those

Speaker:

questions and you're, you get your pen out and you're journaling,

Speaker:

who, what are you asking? I think that

Speaker:

message, who's, yeah,

Speaker:

it could be spirit. You could be asking, you could be asking your fairy guides

Speaker:

or your unicorns or your angel guides or whatever that means for you

Speaker:

could be your higher self. I suppose when I'm doing

Speaker:

it, I'm not thinking. I'm not actually thinking, who is it that I'm asking in

Speaker:

this moment? I'm just seeing what comes up and

Speaker:

through. And maybe sometimes it is the guide,

Speaker:

maybe sometimes it's your intuition, maybe sometimes it's.

Speaker:

I'm not really paying much attention to that, which I think

Speaker:

that's a really good question. Who am I speaking to

Speaker:

today? Or is it all one of the same?

Speaker:

It's a good question to be thinking on. I wonder what will

Speaker:

happen. This is a technique that I do

Speaker:

in my channeling course and in my intuition courses.

Speaker:

I wonder what would happen if you ask specific,

Speaker:

the same question to specifics if you asked your body, what do I

Speaker:

need today? You asked your intuition, what do I need

Speaker:

today? If you asked your soul, what do I need today?

Speaker:

You asked your fear, what do I need today? What different

Speaker:

answers you'll get from. Yeah, that's

Speaker:

a really good way to get additional

Speaker:

depth, something specific for the body, like if it's

Speaker:

your health or something. And that's a really good thing to do.

Speaker:

The other thing that's just come to mind, which is not part of the practice

Speaker:

that I do, but I do teach that in a journaling masterclass that I do,

Speaker:

is that sometimes when we get those answers of I need

Speaker:

more time or whatever the thing that comes in is then

Speaker:

to start to take what are called the rugby

Speaker:

girl technique in NLP, the who, what, where, when, and

Speaker:

why, and ask the questions around that

Speaker:

because sometimes we might come up with, oh, I need more time, but then it's

Speaker:

am I going to create more time? So you might want to create more journaling

Speaker:

prompts of what can I do to create more time? Why is creating

Speaker:

time more important to me? Yeah, what will I do with that time?

Speaker:

What will I do with that time? When can I create the time? And then

Speaker:

you can start to go down, because I think some journaling prompts are very

Speaker:

generic and I think if you can make them as tailored to

Speaker:

you as possible, the more powerful

Speaker:

that introspection and the answers are going to be that you get. So that's the

Speaker:

first thing that I've been doing. I've been starting with that. Just those two questions.

Speaker:

It literally took me like five minutes. Then I've

Speaker:

been diarizing, like, going through my day,

Speaker:

because I do this at the end of the day. So I've been going through

Speaker:

my day and just literally writing down, like you would in a

Speaker:

diary. Now, it's really interesting, because if I look back at my diaries from when

Speaker:

I was like, ten years old, it's almost like ten year old Beth knew

Speaker:

what 44 year old Beth was supposed to do.

Speaker:

Because I used to write my diary, like, the day I've been to my friend's

Speaker:

house and my friend's mum said this to me and I made some cakes,

Speaker:

whatever. And then at the bottom, I used to put lessons, and I put the

Speaker:

lessons that I've learned from the days, like I year old. I know. And it

Speaker:

were things like that. Beth, really. And I used to say it, like, in third

Speaker:

person, like, Beth really enjoys spending time with her friend, whoever,

Speaker:

or Beth likes baking cakes. I used to write stuff like that, like

Speaker:

three little bullet points. I thought, when I'm reading back my diary, it's like, oh,

Speaker:

my God, that was like, I was totally me, you know, I mean, if that

Speaker:

wasn't a clue for who I was supposed to be. So I've started doing that

Speaker:

again, but obviously from adult birth perspective and

Speaker:

going back through my day, and it's amazing to

Speaker:

me how much detail of the day we miss if we don't do

Speaker:

that. There's been so in the last,

Speaker:

just few days, I've met school friends, like in the

Speaker:

car park at supermarket and stuff like that, or I've noticed a snail that's walking

Speaker:

across somewhere, trying to get somewhere. And these things I would have

Speaker:

just forgotten about. I might not have

Speaker:

reached out back to my friend and said, do you want to go for a

Speaker:

coffee or something? If I hadn't gone back through that day, because we're just so

Speaker:

busy, right? And so just going through that process and

Speaker:

just highlighting and picking out what was going on there. There was even

Speaker:

things where I was like, I've been to the supermarket. I couldn't

Speaker:

remember the conversation I had with the cashier. And so in my head, I'm thinking,

Speaker:

was I actually present? Did I actually say please and thank you? I'm sure

Speaker:

I did, but I've got no recognition of that,

Speaker:

what was going on there. And it's things like this, we can start to have

Speaker:

that awareness or how your partner has interacted

Speaker:

with you or something. They said to you, that is actually really meaningful to them,

Speaker:

but you've just, it's just gone because you've just forgotten about it. And so

Speaker:

when we start to go back through that, we can go, actually, they said this

Speaker:

was really important to them, and so I'm going to make an effort tomorrow to

Speaker:

do something that supports them in that. It's been really eye

Speaker:

opening, that how much

Speaker:

detail I've probably been missing or we all miss if we don't do

Speaker:

something similar to this in the day. I love that because

Speaker:

you've given this, it's like you're noting the

Speaker:

synchronicities. It's like that even that

Speaker:

whatever it was just flying across the screen just now, in an

Speaker:

hour's time, will we even remember that we've done it yet? Writing

Speaker:

about it this evening is, oh, my God, there was this thing. What does that

Speaker:

mean? And where did that bring, and what did I learn from it? I think

Speaker:

extracts those synchronicities, which was going to

Speaker:

literally say to the universe, I'm paying attention here. Give

Speaker:

me more of. And then, like you said, it gives you that

Speaker:

opportunity to then act upon

Speaker:

those nice moments. What was it that I really enjoyed

Speaker:

today? Or I bumped into my friend that I haven't seen,

Speaker:

and, oh, I'm going to reach out and get in touch.

Speaker:

And again, it's this affirming of the things that you really

Speaker:

like. And I went to the supermarket and I probably wasn't present.

Speaker:

You know what, beth? Maybe you are manifesting a personal shopper

Speaker:

at some point, because it's clearly, that's not the thing that, you

Speaker:

know, that you enjoy because you weren't there.

Speaker:

Exactly. Now, this is just a side note. So there is a

Speaker:

synchronicity in this because when I

Speaker:

reconnected with my friend on Facebook and I looked like mutual friends in

Speaker:

common, your name was like, next to her. You were

Speaker:

there. There was no other, like, it was like, you, like, in our circle. There

Speaker:

was no other people that in our circle who were connected to her. So after

Speaker:

we'd had, I reconnected to her and had this conversation, I said, how do you

Speaker:

know Melissa? And she said, oh, I don't really know her. I

Speaker:

just was, like, doing some. I was getting into my spirituality.

Speaker:

And Melissa had come up as somebody, and I started following her on Facebook,

Speaker:

and she went, do you know her? I was like, yes, we do a

Speaker:

podcast together. We do a podcast. What? So it was like,

Speaker:

that's how that, how weird that was as well. But it was

Speaker:

really funny because, yeah, when I'd finished talking. We were talking

Speaker:

ages before I went into the supermarket. She was coming out away from the supermarket.

Speaker:

As soon as I left her, she walked a few

Speaker:

steps further down and somebody else came to meet her and was like, oh,

Speaker:

I've seen you in ages. And I went into the supermarket and it was like

Speaker:

the timing of that was like synchronous. We

Speaker:

stopped talking and then somebody else was there to meet her as well. It was

Speaker:

weird. It was like a weird kind of thing. So anyway, that's a side

Speaker:

thing on that. So that's what I've been doing, is literally going through my day

Speaker:

and picking out those elements of things that actually went well or didn't go well.

Speaker:

And how can I be a better person tomorrow by

Speaker:

noticing some of these things that I could. Yeah,

Speaker:

I could do better. So that's a good question to ask your journal.

Speaker:

Maybe not how do I be a better person, but like, how do I grow?

Speaker:

How do I evolve from this? How do I become more of. Yeah, that's a

Speaker:

great question. See, my

Speaker:

journaling is not my.

Speaker:

Why I do journaling is to essentially

Speaker:

receive answers and receive clarity on what it is that I need

Speaker:

to know. And my go to method for that really

Speaker:

is using my cards. If I can't get it, if it's not just there in

Speaker:

my present mind, I get a card out

Speaker:

and I pull it out. When I do

Speaker:

journaling around that card, which is what I teach, and that was how I

Speaker:

learned. I would pull the cards and then write a whole load. And

Speaker:

that really gave me more depth to

Speaker:

understanding the cards, understanding myself, all of this stuff. Now,

Speaker:

maybe it's a bit of laziness, maybe it's a life hack, maybe it is just

Speaker:

the experience that the information comes in.

Speaker:

So that is where and I ask those same questions. And you're absolutely

Speaker:

right. And this is part of my conscious channel

Speaker:

course. One of the fundamentals

Speaker:

of when we're channeling is ask good questions,

Speaker:

asking the right questions. It's the same in a coaching practice.

Speaker:

The quality of the answer comes with the quality of the question.

Speaker:

Yeah. So that seems to

Speaker:

be my go to way. But what's interesting is this came

Speaker:

up for me literally a couple of weeks ago, and I've been doing some

Speaker:

work around identity and

Speaker:

coming more into myself and knowing myself better. And this conversation came up

Speaker:

about journaling, and I was like, I don't know, because part of

Speaker:

this course I was doing, there was a lot of journaling prompts, and I was

Speaker:

feeling this real resistance. And when I actually went into

Speaker:

it. It was really this ego mind that's. Yeah, you don't need that. All the

Speaker:

answers, and it'll be fine. When I got my pen to

Speaker:

paper, it

Speaker:

surprised me. Some of the information that came out

Speaker:

and the action that I've taken on that

Speaker:

is four years ago.

Speaker:

2020. I know the irony. 2020.

Speaker:

I invested in this amazing diary. Banner

Speaker:

thing. Yeah, it didn't work very well, did

Speaker:

it? So I hope this isn't an omen, the Danielle

Speaker:

Laporte desire map. Yeah. And

Speaker:

it was a great diary, and

Speaker:

I've just ordered the same one for 2025.

Speaker:

Oh. And it was quite an investment, really,

Speaker:

for a diary. And so I'm hoping that making that investment

Speaker:

for the diary will really help bring that into practice, because I went

Speaker:

back and I looked at my prompts and I had the

Speaker:

daily dial. I went all in. This time I've gone for the weekly diary because

Speaker:

I know myself a bit better. I went for the daily one and I'm looking

Speaker:

at the prompts and I'm like, God, I got so much depth just from

Speaker:

two lines of asking that right question,

Speaker:

and similar to what you did, I would often backtrack

Speaker:

into, this is what I did do today. And

Speaker:

actually, it was invaluable. So I've.

Speaker:

Yeah, I've ordered that, and I've

Speaker:

just actually applied to become an

Speaker:

affiliate for it because I'm thinking if I get a little group together and

Speaker:

we've all got the desire map and we're all doing it together,

Speaker:

then there's an accountability thing there. So I'll

Speaker:

hit. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited about that little.

Speaker:

The thing about writing it down as well in the day and having

Speaker:

that is also because this is another thing that I found, and

Speaker:

I've realized over the last week, is that

Speaker:

when you start to then read back the days that came before, even if it's

Speaker:

just a week ago, there are things again that you've

Speaker:

forgotten, or you start to see more of the synchronicities,

Speaker:

or you're reminded about things that are important again.

Speaker:

And it's just the beauty of being able to look back, not just on

Speaker:

your day, the last few days and weeks. And that will go as deep as

Speaker:

you want to go with it once you've developed that practice.

Speaker:

But then the next thing that I do after going through the diary and

Speaker:

doing all of that is then finding

Speaker:

specific things to be grateful for in that day that I'm all

Speaker:

about the gratitude. And one of the things that a lot of people

Speaker:

find challenging in the beginning is finding what to be

Speaker:

grateful for. We've talked, I think, before, around, does it need to be monumental?

Speaker:

Or is it okay just to be grateful for the pen or the everyday

Speaker:

things? But when you actually start to look at your day

Speaker:

and then highlight the gratitude from the things that you've

Speaker:

experienced that you would otherwise have just forgotten, again,

Speaker:

that's very personal and very powerful. And the ability to give

Speaker:

gratitude. You've had a crappy day, then the ability to I'm grateful for

Speaker:

breathing, or I'm grateful that my mum was at the end of the phone, or

Speaker:

that I met a friend in the supermarket and we could, like, offer whatever,

Speaker:

identifying the gratitude after you've

Speaker:

diarised and you've asked yourself, what do I need more or

Speaker:

less of? I think is even more powerful

Speaker:

than just a what am I grateful for?

Speaker:

The sun? My cup of tea, whatever.

Speaker:

I think what that also does is gives you the

Speaker:

gratitude in the moment, because then you're like, this is one that. This is one

Speaker:

for the diary today. I remember that. I'll clock that.

Speaker:

Because we. We're taught so much, aren't we? Like, live in the present moment.

Speaker:

Yeah. And this seems to.

Speaker:

There's this dichotomy there, isn't it? That this seems to take you out and now

Speaker:

you're reflecting on the past. But actually what I'm hearing from you

Speaker:

is that it really brings you back into that present,

Speaker:

because then you are. You're just reviewing the last 24

Speaker:

hours. You're bringing that gratitude, the best of that, back into

Speaker:

the present moment. And then while you're going through it, like your

Speaker:

example with the supermarket, and you realize that you weren't present.

Speaker:

Next time you're in the supermarket, that memory will be there because you

Speaker:

wrote it down, and then you'll be like, oh, what did I

Speaker:

miss? What's the potential of me missing?

Speaker:

So I think it does make you more mindful and

Speaker:

more present moment. I'm more grateful. I think

Speaker:

it's amoeba. I think I feel like this whole process is unfolding, like it's going

Speaker:

to turn into something. The other thing that allowed me to do was to.

Speaker:

When I reached out to my back, I'm concentrating on this one particular day because

Speaker:

there was, like, lots of things that happened in that day, but I was able

Speaker:

to reach back out to my friend and actually say, tell her,

Speaker:

because I'd reflected on it, that having that conversation with

Speaker:

you was really helpful because we were both talking about

Speaker:

difficult things that we'd been through. Me with my dad. Her with. She lost her

Speaker:

dad this year. And so we were able, I was able to say I really

Speaker:

appreciated being able to speak to you. It was really

Speaker:

nice to chat with you. And she then said the same. I

Speaker:

felt immediately better after I've spoken to you. And so

Speaker:

that came from me giving

Speaker:

gratitude to meeting her and what she'd done for me and me being able to

Speaker:

articulate that back to her and saying thank you, because it's not just about

Speaker:

gratitude, it's about appreciation. Is it about helping other practice for her?

Speaker:

Yeah. And the knock on effect of that. I'm onto something, right? You are. You

Speaker:

are. I'm like, oh, I might journal on it. And then the final

Speaker:

part is then the lessons. Like the ten year old Beth

Speaker:

lessons. What are the lessons from today? Sometimes there might be big,

Speaker:

profound ones. Sometimes it might be like tomorrow,

Speaker:

I need to make sure I renew my car insurance, whatever it is, right.

Speaker:

Whatever that lesson is, and then just jotting those things down

Speaker:

and that's it. And it's literally been taking me maybe 30

Speaker:

minutes at the end of the day to do that. It's not a really long

Speaker:

process. I've got into the rhythm

Speaker:

of that now. The thing

Speaker:

that has allowed me to do and how that links to my

Speaker:

scripting on my to do list. If you think, and I think I've said

Speaker:

before, that the way that I work is that I have the

Speaker:

vision, whatever that is, in the moment. I've created an action

Speaker:

plan with the action steps. So I'm in alignment. I've got things to do, I've

Speaker:

got goals to do that can help me reach that vision. And then my to

Speaker:

do list, my everyday list of to Dos is in alignment with the

Speaker:

action plan and the vision. So there's never really anything on my to do list

Speaker:

that is in alignment with what I'm creating

Speaker:

right now, that I'm going through this

Speaker:

process. At least I've got a book that I do my journaling in

Speaker:

now. I've got a book that I've got my scripting in, and I've got my

Speaker:

to do list book. And I can very easily

Speaker:

then add and prepare, because I've always done this, I have

Speaker:

always prepared my day the

Speaker:

night before. So I know, I always know what I'm doing today when I go

Speaker:

to bed rather than trying to figure that out in the morning. So I've already

Speaker:

got the scripting book, which I tended to do

Speaker:

on a Sunday evening for the week ahead, and I've already got the to

Speaker:

do list. But now I can take what

Speaker:

I'm journaling and as the action, as the

Speaker:

lessons are coming up or the actions are coming up or the I need more

Speaker:

of this, or I need less of this, I can actually start to either script

Speaker:

around that. If it's something that warrants like a full script around how I

Speaker:

would like, if I need more balance, if that's what somebody

Speaker:

source me intuition is telling me, how can I script,

Speaker:

like what version, what vision of that,

Speaker:

how can I bring that out through words, through script, using all the senses in

Speaker:

my scripting book? And how if there's an action

Speaker:

that needs to be taken right away, like contact

Speaker:

somebody to say thank you for something, I can just add that to my to

Speaker:

do list for tomorrow and then everything that I'm

Speaker:

doing is in alignment. So that's what I've been doing.

Speaker:

Yeah. So that's the process I'm going to create.

Speaker:

I hate everyone's life.

Speaker:

It feels very much. I think the fact that I was doing this when I

Speaker:

was ten, a lot of the things that I was doing

Speaker:

when I was 1013 were things that I'm doing now

Speaker:

in a business sense, in a way. And I'm like, why didn't

Speaker:

not even noticed that one before? Like I was just literally looking through past

Speaker:

diaries and it was like, oh, I

Speaker:

love that. I know

Speaker:

that. Foresight and wisdom. Hello. I know. I don't know if I've got a diaries

Speaker:

of pee for Covid and stuff, but yeah, so that's what I've been doing.

Speaker:

You've also got me, oh, I can buy three books of really

Speaker:

nice stationery. Yeah, yeah, there is that. I think I

Speaker:

might have to bring out a stationary for all these different things. Oh,

Speaker:

I love that. I love that. And I think

Speaker:

for me, my journaling practice has

Speaker:

been when I've been in the depths of things and I'm like, I

Speaker:

need to, you know, I really need to get that out. Or if I've got

Speaker:

a particular thing that I'm working on

Speaker:

and let's say through a course, or if I'm doing some work on

Speaker:

myself or like when I was doing my shadow journey,

Speaker:

I was doing a lot of journaling, writing,

Speaker:

free writing, and early on in my

Speaker:

spiritual journey around my cards and doing all of

Speaker:

this. But I feel like this for me, is coming

Speaker:

for a reason. Because now I've heard this message again

Speaker:

about how important pen to paper, it's

Speaker:

even I'm creating something new at the moment.

Speaker:

I've just had an insight. I feel like what I'm creating now

Speaker:

is like my life's work. Like, I feel like my life's

Speaker:

over. Yeah. My life's work. And that's coming in and coming

Speaker:

into the material world. And

Speaker:

actually what I started to do, because I went all kind of logic with it,

Speaker:

I was like, okay, I need to get this stuff down and I need to

Speaker:

get the formula and I need to do all of this stuff. But what,

Speaker:

as I started to do that, I'm just looking at a blank piece of paper.

Speaker:

Yeah. And then what I naturally did was

Speaker:

I just started free writing. What is it that I want? What is the intention

Speaker:

around this? What is the outcome about this? What, like, all of the things.

Speaker:

And I just wrote this. Just nonsense, really. And then

Speaker:

suddenly the formula started to come in. It's like it

Speaker:

unblocked this stuff. But we were talking on the last episode about

Speaker:

timelines that this insight I just had was.

Speaker:

I saw on my Facebook memories yesterday, there was a post

Speaker:

I wrote this time,

Speaker:

two. Must have been two years ago, which was the start of my

Speaker:

book, mystic and training. It was. I wrote this post and I was

Speaker:

like, that is the start of a

Speaker:

book. And it was that day. So yesterday

Speaker:

I contacted my. The person who became my book

Speaker:

coach. Yeah. And literally started writing

Speaker:

it, like a few days later. Yeah.

Speaker:

And I'm in that same creative space. And that book came

Speaker:

out so quick with the editing and all this stuff, it took a bit longer,

Speaker:

but the actual whole book I wrote in just a few

Speaker:

weeks. Yeah. 60,000, 70,000 words in

Speaker:

a few weeks. And I'm in that same process. Yeah.

Speaker:

Exciting. The book was the ultimate journal.

Speaker:

Yeah, it was. But even I reckon if you read that again, you'd

Speaker:

get new insights. I would. And

Speaker:

I want to read it again because the next book is

Speaker:

starting to book. Call me.

Speaker:

Yeah. Yet this framework

Speaker:

needs to come through first. It's there. Wow, look,

Speaker:

my throat just went. What's going on there? Oh, so

Speaker:

much big changes, big shit. New levels,

Speaker:

new eras, new. I am, like, where I'm

Speaker:

feeling right now is this

Speaker:

disruption energy. I am as well disrupt

Speaker:

the industry. Where I've seen so much stuff where

Speaker:

the good people don't get the results and the real

Speaker:

wanting, and there's not the depth of knowledge and wisdom and

Speaker:

understanding. And I've realized one

Speaker:

of my strengths is to really be able to share that because I am a

Speaker:

geek and I want to know all the things and I have all of this

Speaker:

stuff available to me in my field. And

Speaker:

so that's what I'm working on. Is really creating

Speaker:

this. This structure for the new

Speaker:

wave of healers, readers, coaches and doing that.

Speaker:

And I think I. Journaling up. For me, this

Speaker:

conversation has come up so that I can actually

Speaker:

go down twelve layers and get that alignment and

Speaker:

give it. Yeah, yeah. That message came for me yesterday as well,

Speaker:

about alignment and bringing all of our areas into

Speaker:

oneness. So, yeah, like, this conversation for

Speaker:

me has brought up things, just talking about.

Speaker:

Alignment, the pigeonhood that was in my tree. So she disappeared for a

Speaker:

little while and I thought, oh, where's my pigeon gone?

Speaker:

And then I don't know why I was thinking of you. I can't remember why

Speaker:

I was thinking of you. We stood at the top of stairs and you popped

Speaker:

in my head and then there was a magpie. Is that where the pigeon was?

Speaker:

Where the pigeon once was? There was a magpie, but then the magpie disappeared and

Speaker:

then the pigeon did come back again. So, yeah,

Speaker:

there you go. Magpies have been there. Like. And.

Speaker:

Yes. Was it yesterday?

Speaker:

Yesterday? The day before, I was

Speaker:

walking the kids to school and my husband came with

Speaker:

me. And on the way back, we were talking about this new

Speaker:

framework and, like, the potential of it. And then I saw

Speaker:

a magpie. I was like, oh, there's good luck. And then I looked on the

Speaker:

field and there was six

Speaker:

magpies, six for gold, and I was like, oh,

Speaker:

hello. And these are

Speaker:

the things. These are the synchronicities and the sides. And that is the

Speaker:

sort of thing that would go in your journal. And I had this thing and

Speaker:

it's for me anyway, and I saw six magpies and that felt

Speaker:

like a real. A moment of

Speaker:

confirmation. A because also I was

Speaker:

thinking about how, for me, the outside world

Speaker:

has always been my confirmation. Like, I get a lot of

Speaker:

synchronicities, signs, messages

Speaker:

that as a psychic or as an intuitive, I think people get

Speaker:

the impression that everything always happens in your head or in your

Speaker:

body. For me, and it's been true for a lot of my

Speaker:

journey, it's happened outside. I see things outside. That's

Speaker:

true. Yeah, I know. It's normal. Yeah. Like, even this

Speaker:

morning, it was absolutely throwing it down with rain.

Speaker:

It was really stormy. Kids on the school trip at the

Speaker:

zoo today, so it was, oh, nice. Like, it was atrocious.

Speaker:

Like, even just getting into the car, we got soaking wet. And so I'm driving

Speaker:

into school and obviously everyone is driving. We usually walk, but, like,

Speaker:

everyone's driving in and there's this little

Speaker:

roadway to get into the school that just isn't big enough. And people park and

Speaker:

there was just cars. I could not. And I

Speaker:

was just sitting there, and then someone behind, like, honking is. Can't go

Speaker:

anywhere. There is no room. And then I

Speaker:

was. I had on one of my apps,

Speaker:

because I listen to audiobooks when I'm sleeping. It

Speaker:

had come on to my car thing,

Speaker:

a chapter. It was the final chapter of this book called

Speaker:

success and something by Doctor David Hawkins.

Speaker:

And he starts talking about traffic. He's literally.

Speaker:

So I'm sitting there. I'd got them on. The kids were like, oh, Murray,

Speaker:

like, people can't drive, can they? And I was like, oh, it is what it

Speaker:

is. Don't worry. You'll get there. And he starts talking about when

Speaker:

you're. He's talking about grace and, like, really embodying this

Speaker:

thing and not doing people favors, but just being

Speaker:

courteous and embodying that energy. And

Speaker:

he was saying that when you're in traffic, if you become

Speaker:

the person that always lets people go, and it might be really hard

Speaker:

to begin with, but always be that person that lets people go,

Speaker:

then you start to embody win attitude,

Speaker:

because otherwise, if bumper to bumper, it's I win, you lose. Whereas

Speaker:

when you let people go, like, when I was sitting there, I couldn't go

Speaker:

anywhere, but, like, almost every car that was. That was

Speaker:

essentially coming the other way was flashing and thanking me and

Speaker:

putting their hand up. So this morning, I received 25

Speaker:

pieces of that one, but 20, I don't think it was

Speaker:

me, but 25 pieces of gratitude, like,

Speaker:

to start my morning. And how much is that a different reframe

Speaker:

from. Oh, I was stuck in traffic, and it took ages. And then

Speaker:

I was happy listening to my book with my kids company

Speaker:

dry. And then when I came out the car, it almost stopped raining, and

Speaker:

now they should be at the zoo in five minutes. It

Speaker:

stopped. But. And it's the knock on effect of that. All those 20 people

Speaker:

who were let through, who might otherwise have got angry

Speaker:

or been late for something or got agitated or been frustrated,

Speaker:

now their days better as well. And so maybe next time they need to give

Speaker:

way or let somebody through, whether they need to.

Speaker:

They weren't late. I really is. If I would have somehow

Speaker:

managed to go any further forward, everyone would have got

Speaker:

stuck. Yeah, everyone would have got stuck. No one would. It would have been lose

Speaker:

lose. And this is what he was talking about. If you're aiming for win lose,

Speaker:

then actually what you're advocating for is the lose energy, because it's the

Speaker:

polarity and then everyone's losing. Whereas

Speaker:

if you're aiming for win, then everyone's winning. And this is the sort

Speaker:

of mindset shift and attitude

Speaker:

shift that we begin to cultivate, and that changes everything

Speaker:

we are and how we show up and the success that we have and the

Speaker:

abundance that we have and the gratitude that we feel and the funky

Speaker:

things flying across the screen. We're gonna have to go back

Speaker:

and watch the. Yeah, watch it and see if we can screenshot

Speaker:

it, because there's no. There's definitely no fairies

Speaker:

in my floor. Yeah, they definitely seem to come in. I don't know

Speaker:

who they are, but we're here for them. We are. We love

Speaker:

you. The other you just reminded me of something. So before I met my friend,

Speaker:

sorry to go back. Digress. Go back to that. I had, I'd

Speaker:

left my pass. I've got, like, a thing in my car where all my pound

Speaker:

coins are for the trolleys. And I'd got out my car, what past the

Speaker:

trolleys, got so far, I was like, oh, I forgot my pound coin. So I

Speaker:

had to go back to the car to get my pound coin. And in that

Speaker:

incident, I was like, oh, forgotten my pound coin. Like, a bit annoyed. But then

Speaker:

it wasn't until I did my reflections on the evening when I'm going back through

Speaker:

the day that I realized that had I not forgotten my pound

Speaker:

coin, I wouldn't have met my friend. We would have missed each

Speaker:

other. Exactly. And it's english. Yeah.

Speaker:

Goes, and this is such a thing, and this is so important

Speaker:

for me and my. My teachings. Like, for you, bethe, you're so

Speaker:

intentional, and you are so this is what's going to happen. This is how

Speaker:

I'm going to feel. This is what I'm open to. This is what I'm available

Speaker:

for. This is what I'm not available for. When we are that intentional

Speaker:

and everything's in alignment, then we can be really sure

Speaker:

that the universe is working for us, and it's always

Speaker:

conspiring for us for whatever that is. And so it comes

Speaker:

to that point, like this morning when I'm sitting there stuck,

Speaker:

and it added on, what, five minutes to my day or

Speaker:

to my journey, it becomes, okay,

Speaker:

like, how is this working in my favor? Like, what

Speaker:

is this? Maybe am I avoiding because of it, or what am

Speaker:

I gaining because of it? And it's such a mindset shift that you're

Speaker:

not. Then in this panic of, oh, my God, I'm going to

Speaker:

be late, which is just fear, scarcity, energy, which is time

Speaker:

is running out, for example. And it comes into note this is

Speaker:

cool. Everything is working out for me. Everything is working out for me. And

Speaker:

then is. The more you think that, then guess what? The more everything's working out

Speaker:

for you. So it really becomes this Abraham

Speaker:

Hicks speak about the vortex, and it's such a powerful

Speaker:

image of having this vortex and what is it that's spinning around in

Speaker:

it. And I think what you do with your practice is it

Speaker:

really brings that into clarity and

Speaker:

intentional practice and out of the

Speaker:

subconscious. And then as you write it and you

Speaker:

embody it, it goes back into the subconscious. It's like a real

Speaker:

reprogramming of that. Yeah. And to acknowledge that. We're

Speaker:

going to have difficult days sometimes, but if we have

Speaker:

practice like this, we can reframe that, like you say,

Speaker:

and acknowledge it for what it is in the moment, and

Speaker:

process that in a way that you want to process it and move forward. I'm

Speaker:

glad that we talked about journaling today. Maybe we should bring the book of

Speaker:

questions. We have the book of questions, didn't we? Should we thought about this morning.

Speaker:

I was like, oh, I'm going to ask Beth to bring the book of questions.

Speaker:

Maybe we do that next time. We'll do that next time. Yeah. And then I

Speaker:

just had a soul inspired thought. I didn't think of it

Speaker:

earlier. I've been doing some channeling with star beings.

Speaker:

How about you and I get together and you can ask my channel

Speaker:

some questions? We can record it, put it on

Speaker:

YouTube, maybe even have a thing and let us.

Speaker:

You up for that? Yeah, of course. Why would I not be up for

Speaker:

that? But I think now's the time.

Speaker:

Let's bring the channel in. I'm feeling the call to

Speaker:

do that. And we can ask some cool questions.

Speaker:

Let's do it. Lots of wise ones.
