00:04:17 --> 00:04:21 how intentional choices shape energy flow. Would
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24 you like to go on from there? Thank you very
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26 much, Ida. First of all, for that beautiful introduction,
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 and you really embraced our whole program at
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32 Power and Aging. So really grateful to be here.
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34 And I know today we're talking about energy exchange.
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 I am personally extremely passionate about this
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40 topic. I've been talking on it and doing workshops
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43 on it for years now. It's one of our monthly
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 themes, actually, the month of July at Power
00:04:46 --> 00:04:52 and Aging. And it's all about energy. And everybody
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 knows the word energy, especially in a physical
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57 sense, especially people who are a little bit
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00 more scientific and want to look at energy, something
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03 tangible, something they know it works, a current
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06 through a cord to bring us a television screen
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 or a light. I like to think of it as something
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12 a little bit more on the spiritual side, because
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 although... can't see it we don't see the current
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16 going through the cord either but we know it's
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19 happening and we know it's very real that's the
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 same goes with energy in terms of directing your
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25 energy for for example healing i know that you're
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29 an energy healer as well ida i have my angelic
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32 reiki master practitioner which i love to do
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35 as well right now what i'm talking about is the
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40 everyday use of energy to direct it intentional
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43 manner to make our lives the way we want them
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47 to get what we want to achieve higher vibrational
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51 relationships to succeed better in our workplace
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54 and to really look at everything if we break
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57 it down through our daily lives as an energetic
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00 exchange and i know we're going to break it down
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 a little bit more into how that looks i'd like
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06 to To just say our tagline at Power and Aging
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10 is transforming the currency of youth. And we
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13 really like that because the currency is what
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 we're talking about. Now, if we think of energy
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19 as a currency, you can think of actual physical
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 current going through, giving energy to a physical
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25 thing. If you think of it, though, as a currency
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29 in terms of... monetary. We're thinking of money
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 and we exchange money all the time. So it's a
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 give and it's a take what we receive, what we
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37 trade with a currency. If we think of our own
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41 energy in the same sense, we can really help
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45 to utilize that energy to make better exchanges,
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48 better trades for the energy that you're giving
00:06:48 --> 00:06:53 and the energy that you're receiving. So I really
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56 I love that analogy when I think of not just
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59 buying something. I've worked hard to earn this
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01 money. Right. So I'm giving it to you. So if
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03 you think of that, take all the money away. If
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 that wasn't a thing in this world, how would
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 I get from you what I want? What would I have
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11 to give you in terms of energetically to give
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15 you to receive what I need or what I want? We
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19 love to think of. Aging is not just about youth.
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 I don't know why there seems to be this big thing
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 where youth is where it's at and everybody wants
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26 to be young again. Everything is anti -aging.
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31 Whereas aging is just a natural process and it's
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34 something that we should be proud of. Not everybody
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38 is fortunate enough to age. Yeah, not everybody
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40 gets to wake up the next morning. Not everybody
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43 does it gracefully. Rebreath is a gift. Every
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45 day you wake up is a new gift, a new opportunity,
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49 right? So we love to look at aging in terms of
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52 it being a blessing. Let's count all of the blessings
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55 that we have. I mean, the alternative to aging,
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59 as we all know, is death. Nobody wants, we're
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 not ready for that, right? So I'm okay with aging
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05 as long as I do it. the best possible way so
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 that I feel good, so that I want to get up every
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11 day and live. So that's where it comes into place
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14 and how we use our energy to make these exchanges,
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17 to make our lives better, to improve lives of
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21 other people as well. And I can go on. So let's
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23 break it down a little bit. So if we think of
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28 everyday energy exchanges, right? I mean, There
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 are so many things, but there's a couple of big
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32 categories and some smaller ones. So let's talk
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 about relationships because that's a big one,
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37 right? Every day, whether it's the relationship
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39 with your loved ones and partners, your children,
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43 your family, your co -worker, just a quick interaction
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46 between you and the cashier at the store or the
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49 guy next to you in the car honking, right? Everything
00:08:49 --> 00:08:54 that we... Connect with that person. Every interaction
00:08:54 --> 00:08:59 is an energy exchange. So how do I make that
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04 interaction quality? How do I get what I want
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 going into that? And a lot of it is, well, I
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09 kind of break it down into three things where
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13 it's awareness. I'm aware of the energy in the
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14 room. I'm aware of what I'm putting out just
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17 as much as what I'm receiving. And then it's
00:09:17 --> 00:09:22 intention, intentionally choosing to... put my
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25 energy out in a certain way or to put up a boundary
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 so I'm receiving energy in a certain way. And
00:09:27 --> 00:09:32 then also taking action and putting it into place
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36 and giving or exchanging that energy. With relationships,
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40 if everybody stops and thinks, think of a strong
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43 relationship you have, whether, again, it's a
00:09:43 --> 00:09:48 partner or a co -worker. And what is that relationship?
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 Is it a give and take? Is it equal? Is it something
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55 where you're the giver and the other person's
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 always taking from you? There's so many different
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00 personality types, like when you think about
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04 narcissists. Oh, yeah, the person you want to
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07 deal with, right? Totally. And but right away,
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09 I mean, some people are more, I think, you know,
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12 you being an energy worker, Ida, are more aware
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15 of the energy when you walk in the room with
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 somebody. I am as well. I'm very sensitive with
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19 energy. So you can get that first impression
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21 from somebody right away and you'll get your
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24 backup or you're okay, it's going to be a relaxed
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27 situation. It's funny, you don't realize how
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30 much people put off. an energy signal whether
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33 it's body language or crossing you know crossing
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37 their arms or coming in carrying something else
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40 from the day into the room and just putting it
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43 out there because energy is infectious we are
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46 infecting each other with our energy so and now
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49 we'll take time for a commercial break welcome
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53 back so like you said there are these narcissistic
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57 people for me When I come across one of those,
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00 in a perfect world, we would try not to have
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03 any time with that person. Same with energy vampires.
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 They're not necessarily narcissistic, but they're
00:11:05 --> 00:11:10 very demanding of your time or your energy. They're
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13 not refilling your cup at the same time. So those
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16 people, I always say in a short -term situation,
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20 I try to step out. catch my breath, get away.
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23 If it's somebody you're working with, maybe ask
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 if you can move locations, maybe time your lunch
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29 break so they're not coinciding, come in staggered,
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32 work shift from home. Do whatever little thing
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36 you can do to try to avoid that energy on a short
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38 -term basis. If it's a long -term, let's say
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41 if it's your in -law and they're going to be
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43 in your life, you really have to set your boundaries
00:11:43 --> 00:11:48 and you have to figure out a way that... their
00:11:48 --> 00:11:52 energy doesn't zap your energy. And meeting them
00:11:52 --> 00:11:57 on a vibrational frequency too. So if you're
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00 coming in the room and, hey, so bubbly and energetic,
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02 and they're just hitting you with this low vibe,
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04 you have to be able to balance that out because
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07 it can be quite aggressive, especially to those
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09 of us who are sensitive with energy. Saying that,
00:12:09 --> 00:12:14 I personally believe that you never dim your
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17 own light. to make others feel comfortable. I
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19 know there's a big Nelson Mandela speech about
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23 that. I believe that because if you drop your
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26 vibration to a lower level to make someone else
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30 feel comfortable, it's very hard to work your
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33 way back up. Saying that as a coach, for example,
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37 if I come into a session and I am feeling nice
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40 and high vibe and my client is very low vibe,
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44 that would not be a good vibrational match. for
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46 me to come at them like this and they're down
00:12:46 --> 00:12:51 here, right? So I do need intentionally to lower
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54 my energy knowing that my intention is to help
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56 bring it up at least to a little bit of a comfortable
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00 level, right? And also as an energy worker, I'm
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03 sure you do this as well, I do the whole placing
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06 a bubble of protection around myself or I...
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09 Or you hang your mantra or your affirmation.
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12 Exactly. I do a little something for myself,
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14 first of all, just to make sure that I'm protected
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17 because, especially being a sensitive energy,
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20 it is easy to take on somebody else's bad mood,
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24 somebody else's trauma. It happens all the time,
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27 all around us. Yeah, I clear the house every
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31 night to try to clear the bad energy out. I have
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35 people working from home, so you get more energy
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37 collection the more people you have coming to
00:13:37 --> 00:13:42 your place. Absolutely. And you're exactly that.
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45 You're collecting energies, right? And so clearing
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49 is a beautiful practice. Do you smudge or what
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52 is your practice? I have a dowsing rod I do it
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55 with. Okay. So there are like, yeah, dowsing
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57 rods, dodge sticks, crystals. I know people,
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00 they strategically place crystals around, even
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04 bury them outside the house. For me, a quick
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08 tool, which I like to talk about is just... either
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11 shaking or clapping because actually the vibration
00:14:11 --> 00:14:15 of clapping and getting everything around the
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19 room, moving that energy. And if it's still attaching
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21 to me, I shake my body. It's actually a tool
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24 I teach in Ageless Grace, ironically. It's a
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28 great way to release old, stale energy or other
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31 energy that's kind of... attached itself to you
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34 yeah i know when i do our twin hearts meditation
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37 we do exercises before and after to get the bad
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41 energy out and open the chakras yeah absolutely
00:14:41 --> 00:14:46 it makes it for a deeper meditation and and another
00:14:46 --> 00:14:51 thing is i mean so relationships workplace those
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54 are big topics and there are some smaller ones
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56 but another thing to keep in mind is knowing
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59 your own value? What do you bring to the table?
00:14:59 --> 00:15:03 Because I think sometimes we have these expectations
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06 where we think we're coming in with a certain
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09 energy and we expect to receive that, but we
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12 don't receive it. So then it's... okay, I have
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13 to figure out how to bring it up. But if you
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16 actually stop and analyze, maybe you're actually
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19 walking in with a chip on your shoulder or you're
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21 carrying something in from the day that you don't
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24 realize what you're outputting. So I do think
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26 being aware of what we're outputting is just
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29 as important as what we're inputting. You don't
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31 always realize that, but we need to take responsibility
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35 for our energy. And when we're not receiving
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39 what we need or what we want or not a vibrational
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42 match, we need to... it out so that we do feel
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45 comfortable and there are ways to fill our own
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48 cup if I'm constantly getting this and I'm giving
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51 this I need to find a way to fill my cup back
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54 up it would be a perfect world everybody was
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57 on this wonderful exchange of 50 50 all the time
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00 but it doesn't work out that way I had a relationship
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02 once a long long long time ago high school and
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05 I remember I was giving so much all the time
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08 and I never felt that he was and I remember saying
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10 to him you know I don't know if I can do this
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12 anymore I feel like I'm giving a hundred percent
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15 and you're giving half that he said to me he
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18 had no idea that I felt that way he felt in his
00:16:18 --> 00:16:22 heart, he was giving 100%. So it just shows you
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26 that his 100 % was not a vibrational match to
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29 what I needed for my 100%. And we both were doing
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32 the best we can. There was no judgment there.
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35 In the end, he wasn't my person. He wasn't somebody
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38 that could give me back. On a daily basis, what
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42 I needed or vice versa, I felt wasn't a good
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45 match. So really analyzing relationships, everything
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48 is a give and a take. But what are you willing
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50 to give and what are you willing to take? It
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52 has to be in alignment with your values, your
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55 boundaries, if it works for you. And everything
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58 breaks down to an exchange of energy. I know
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00 there's different philosophies out there. Some
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04 people, in order to truly benefit, you have to
00:17:04 --> 00:17:08 be willing to receive a gift. And you also have
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11 to be willing to give a gift. And then there
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13 are some people that if you give them something,
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16 they make you feel like you shouldn't have done
00:17:16 --> 00:17:21 it, which is very hard. Yeah, I mean, that's
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23 a little bit almost like the love languages,
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25 right? What your love language is and what mine
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28 is, they might not match. And it's true. I mean,
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30 not everybody is going to be a match. It would
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33 actually probably be a very boring world if we
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35 were all perfectly in alignment and match, right?
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37 So it's quite an interesting thing trying to
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40 find the people that you align with that you're
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44 going to match up with. it's unlikely that it's
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47 all the time. So like you said, I'm not comfortable
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50 with receiving. Maybe I'm not comfortable from
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53 receiving from this person, but this person,
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56 oh my goodness, I am super excited too. It could
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59 be an energy connection thing that we're not
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02 in perfect connection or alignment. So it's finding
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05 the balance to that. And setting your boundaries.
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07 If somebody's going to kind of keep pushing that
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10 on you and that's not for you, you need to be
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12 able to set boundaries to protect yourself. Now,
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14 different cultures have different ways of doing
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17 things. So what one culture does is not seem
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20 the same as other cultures. Absolutely. That's
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23 a really great example. Yeah. Culturally. And
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26 here in Canada, we're a melting pot, right? We
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29 have lots of different cultures. So I think you
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31 have to be a little bit perhaps more resilient
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34 than you would in other countries in terms of
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37 allowing other people to be who they are and
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39 embrace that, but knowing that you don't have
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42 to take that on. Just because you live this way
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44 or this lifestyle or that's how you feel best
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47 doesn't mean that I can accept you doing that
00:18:47 --> 00:18:52 as long as I can live in my alignment. And there
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54 are some little ways, too. I mentioned some of
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56 the bigger things. A lot of these little exchanges,
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59 we don't realize that we're putting out there.
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03 Emails are a great example. A lot of us spend
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06 a lot of time on an email. And there's an intention
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09 behind that email. I'm not emailing for just
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12 no reason. I want something or I need to get
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15 a message across to somebody. It's hard because
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19 there's no tone of voice behind or a text. I
00:19:19 --> 00:19:23 know that if I want to achieve, I put an intention.
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26 I intentionally think, okay, I'm sending this
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29 email with the intention for them to receive
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31 it in the right way, that they're going to give
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34 me what I'm looking for. So even the way we communicate
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37 with technology is a little energy exchange.
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40 It's something kind of like an everyday thing.
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43 We communicate verbally, we communicate non -verbally.
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46 There's so many different ways we have these
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50 little exchanges. Yeah. And now we'll take time
00:19:50 --> 00:19:55 for a commercial break. Welcome back. Definitely.
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58 Another way that we exchange daily we don't think
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01 about is with our food. Exchanging an energy
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04 with this food that's going in us. People eat
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07 mindlessly. They sit in front of the TV, scarf
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10 their food down. They wonder why their digestion's
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12 off. Their gut health isn't good. They're not
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15 feeling well. People who practice mindful eating
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18 where they're taking time to chew each bite a
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21 certain amount of times, to put their fork down
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24 in between, not have the technology on around
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28 them, to get in gratitude for the food that they
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32 eat. Blessings, gratitude, where did this food
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35 come from? Thanks to the animal for sacrificing
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38 the life. Thanks to the farmer for growing the
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42 foods, the crops, all of these things. That is
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44 energy we're literally choosing to put into our
00:20:44 --> 00:20:48 bodies. And making good choices, obviously, is
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50 the best way. But even if you can't always eat
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53 everything, chopping and taking note of what
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56 that food is doing for your body and that exchange
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00 of energy that is being had with bright colors.
00:21:00 --> 00:21:04 Therapy is a huge thing. The energy, I love yellow,
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07 I love orange. Bright colors for me, that's a
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10 way of an expression. Even the material of...
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13 The clothing that we wear, they carry vibrations.
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18 So certain frequencies are immaterial. They say
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20 a lot of the more natural fibers, the wools,
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24 the linen, organic cotton, those items have a
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27 higher vibration, a higher frequency on our skin.
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31 And then you have the polyesters and the spandexes
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33 and those kind of things that are synthetic.
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35 They are going to give off a lower vibration.
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38 Have you heard that you're not supposed to wear
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41 linen and cotton together because they go deeper
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44 directions? Yes, I have heard that. There are
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47 certain materials that don't go together. Which
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50 is hard to you. Because nobody said they actually
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52 mix cotton and linen together in some fabrics.
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55 Well, that's the thing. Well, that's the other
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58 thing is the more processed. Like silk is a natural
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01 raw fiber. Apparently, it's very high vibrational.
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04 But as soon as it's been processed over and over,
00:22:04 --> 00:22:08 it drops down. considered quite low. So, you
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09 know, those things, we don't think about those
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11 things. We don't think about every day, do, do,
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14 do, throw something on. All of that affects us.
00:22:14 --> 00:22:18 Is it psychometry where you can feel the energy
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20 of the person that touched it? If they were in
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23 a bad mood, it would be passed on to you? Yes,
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26 I've done a lot of psychometry. Yes, you're taking
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29 on the energy of the object and you feel, you
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31 know, a handrail that somebody's been going up
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33 and down at a public play and the heat coming
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36 off of that. All of the energy that's been absorbed
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38 in that. I'm a practitioner myself, personal
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40 practitioner. I don't teach or do anything of
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43 Ho 'oponopono, which is the Hawaiian art form
00:22:43 --> 00:22:47 of clearing, cleaning the air and forgiveness.
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49 And I remember in one of the teachings, they
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52 were talking about energy coming from and needing
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55 to be cleared from things, inanimate objects
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57 that we don't think about, such as highways and
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59 roads and things like that. I find that very
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02 interesting because we all have in these cities
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04 where certain roads are just... always congested
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07 traffic accidents happen all this stuff we dread
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10 going that route because of that road and and
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13 if you think about it with the energy that road
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16 has felt all the trauma all the anger everything
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19 even though it's an inanimate object still putting
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21 out a vibe right there's still that frequency
00:23:21 --> 00:23:25 coming from it so we absorb it we naturally do
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28 and we have to learn how to get rid of that as
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32 well but i know with with some um seminars that
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34 i've been to they say it was it when there's
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37 an accident in that place once you know there's
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39 going to be an accident getting there just because
00:23:39 --> 00:23:44 of uh the energy of it energy and if you intentionally
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48 clear the negative energy from that area there'll
00:23:48 --> 00:23:53 be a less chance yeah and you know people are
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55 the same right do you notice that there's those
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57 types of people who constantly have bad things
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00 happen to them over and over because it's almost
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03 like you know the law of attraction you're attracting
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06 that energy you're putting that out and fear
00:24:06 --> 00:24:10 is a very low vibration and i unfortunately media
00:24:10 --> 00:24:14 tvs politics everything spews fear at us right
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16 people absorb that fear and they sit in this
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19 very low vibration and they're afraid for something
00:24:19 --> 00:24:23 to happen and by sitting in that fear and that
00:24:23 --> 00:24:27 worry of that happening they're actually creating
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30 it and drawing it in and attracting it and having
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33 more of it so it's i don't know in that sense
00:24:33 --> 00:24:37 energy can be quite secular and and it's circling
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39 around and you're bringing back in what you're
00:24:39 --> 00:24:43 putting out so I personally try not to live in
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45 any type of fear. I mean, we all for sure, we're
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48 having a human experience. Things are going to
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50 stir in us or something, but you have to be very
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53 rational about it and let it go and clear that
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56 out because you are just sitting in it and attracting
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00 more of it to happen. Calm is king. Calm is king.
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02 It's not always easy, but there are techniques
00:25:02 --> 00:25:06 to do it, right? and you know sometimes it's
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08 a little thing i'm having a day you're in a flurry
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11 you're on your way let's say and you hit every
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13 red light right and then the guy in front of
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15 you is driving super slow and learn your plate
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18 and you're just like everything seems to be not
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21 going your way how do you change that little
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24 bit of flow what's that with that little energy
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27 exchange well i say there's tons of ways really
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31 if you want so Go a different route, okay? You
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33 were intent to go this route. You have to go
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36 this way. You know what? Turn off early. Navigate
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38 your way. Go on a different route. Get off of
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41 the same pattern that you're on because you've
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43 already changed the energy once. There's one
00:25:43 --> 00:25:49 way of doing it. Change your speed. Two kilometers,
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51 two miles, whatever. Go a little faster, a little
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54 slower. That means you might hit or not hit the
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58 next red light. Just doing that thing. Also,
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01 play a little game where I'm like, oh, that person,
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04 they've sped by me and done something to annoy
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06 me. I'm like, I make up a little story and say,
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09 you know what? They're on the way to the hospital
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11 to see their dying relative. I wish them love
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13 and light. Instead of getting angry at them,
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17 I create a story for them and I send them some
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20 love and light. And that helps me to diffuse
00:26:20 --> 00:26:24 my frustration with them because I've now put
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25 them in a different light. I don't know their
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29 story. But I can choose to make angry and selfish
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32 and all about them and it's going to frustrate
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35 me or I can create a story for them that gives
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38 them a reason and then I feel better. So why
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40 wouldn't I do that? Why wouldn't I choose? You
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42 can roll down the window, get some fresh air
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46 in, right? Get a breeze going. Turn up the radio,
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49 change the radio, pick a different song, a different
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52 type of music. Music is a huge motivator or it
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55 can also really affect us. I love saying to have
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57 a power song that really gets you up or gets
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00 you in the right mood, whether it's the beat
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02 or the lyrics, but little things like you're
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04 in your car, roll down the window, change the
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06 music, change your direction, change your speed.
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09 All these little things are going to completely
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14 change the flow of how it's going. So we have
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17 that power to do those little changes every day,
00:27:17 --> 00:27:22 and that's just one example. Yeah. Exercise is
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24 supposed to be really good for clearing off energy
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27 as well because it's like a way of cleansing
00:27:27 --> 00:27:30 the aura. Yeah, absolutely. Whether it's very
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32 aggressive or not, depending on what a person
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36 can do. I totally agree. Yeah, physical movement,
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39 just by physically moving, you're changing your
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42 physical energy, but it is a huge mood enhancer,
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46 as you said, right? And finding what is good
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48 for you, what you can do. Like you said, not
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50 everyone's going to go and do a big workout at
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53 the gym. That's not everybody's jam to do that.
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57 Or even bathing, like having a bath or a shower.
00:27:57 --> 00:28:01 That is like cleansing that. Free cleansing,
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05 sunbathing, right? Get out there and just bask
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07 a little bit. Forest bathing, go out in nature.
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10 Earthing, I love. Kick off my shoes, put my feet
00:28:10 --> 00:28:14 on the grass. Just get the frequency of the earth,
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18 right? Get your circadian rhythm just reset and
00:28:18 --> 00:28:21 feeling really good. There are so many little
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24 tricks like that. Hug a tree? I hug a tree all
00:28:24 --> 00:28:28 the time. There you go. and i talk to trees too
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30 because i believe that they can hear and they
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32 they are their own live frequency they need to
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35 be loved i say hey give him a hug give him a
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38 pat how does that and having plants in the house
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41 with is uh i can have plants once again because
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43 i don't have a dog anymore he was always the
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46 heart on my plants he wanted to eat all of them
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49 so now that he's out around i can have plants
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53 again And I admit I am not the best gardener
00:28:53 --> 00:28:58 or plant keeper. Like I have kids that ask for
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00 food. I have cats that meow for food. Plants
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04 are very quiet and I sometimes forget. So yes,
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07 I'm not the best example. It's true that living
00:29:07 --> 00:29:11 energy and just having that in the room. Absolutely.
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13 Having more life in the house, basically, whatever
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16 it is, whether it's an animal or a plant, whatever
00:29:16 --> 00:29:21 you want is one way to do it. Absolutely. And
00:29:21 --> 00:29:25 now we'll take time for a commercial break. Welcome
00:29:25 --> 00:29:28 back. There's so many ways. And when you think
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31 about everything, again, as an energy exchange,
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33 what you're putting out, what you're receiving,
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36 what that plant's bringing you, right? Oxygen,
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40 it's cheering you up, the life force in your
00:29:40 --> 00:29:44 home. Definitely. And I think a lot of it's common
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46 sense. But we just don't think about it. We're
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48 busy. We're running around. We don't think. The
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50 big energy exchange between you and me right
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53 now. But let's just say we were at the grocery
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55 store and ran into each other. Or I don't know
00:29:55 --> 00:30:00 you. And little exchanges, they build your character.
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04 They build who you are. But they also put the
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07 energy in motion, right? So if you intentionally...
00:30:08 --> 00:30:11 do something you are setting off a ripple effect
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15 a little example I love to randomly compliment
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18 people that I don't know I'll just see somebody
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20 standing in line and I'll say oh my gosh I love
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22 your hat and I'm sincere like I don't say it
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25 if I don't mean it but if I you know a lot of
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27 times we're like oh that's a really pretty handbag
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29 we we just keep it to ourselves we don't say
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32 anything whereas I will actually go and say I
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34 love your handbag that's amazing you look great
00:30:34 --> 00:30:38 today and it just makes them feel noticed. It
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41 makes them feel good. And whether or not they
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43 say it, a lot of people can't receive a compliment,
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46 as you mentioned earlier. They still take that
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48 away, right? And maybe a little smile. Then their
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50 next interaction, now they're walking out to
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52 the parking lot. They're, I'll help somebody
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54 carry a shopping bag or open the door or something.
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57 Like, it's just this energy that ripples on.
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00 It's like paying it forward. I think if everybody
00:31:00 --> 00:31:04 did a little bit more of that every day, we'd
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06 be in a different world i don't know what kind
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08 of day they have because some days it's a little
00:31:08 --> 00:31:11 harder to be nicer than others absolutely and
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14 that's why for me it's i challenge myself if
00:31:14 --> 00:31:17 i'm not feeling it i have to be aware because
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20 i know if i'm bringing home this mood i'm going
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22 to put on my kids now they were like laughing
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24 and i walk in the room and i bring in this mood
00:31:24 --> 00:31:28 it instantly affects them that they're in a bad
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31 mood and then i i feel guilty because it's such
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34 a ripple effect There is the saying, fake it
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35 till you make it. And a lot of people can't do
00:31:35 --> 00:31:39 that. I practice that in one of my tools with
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42 Ageless Grace where we laugh. And people are
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45 like, it feels really weird and awkward and uncomfortable
00:31:45 --> 00:31:49 to just laugh for no reason. But honestly, once
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51 you see someone else laugh and you kind of start
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53 laughing because you think it's just so silly
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55 to do this, and then you just let your inhibitions
00:31:55 --> 00:31:59 go. And it's such an amazing relief. And I think
00:31:59 --> 00:32:03 this shows us We can motivate ourselves to do
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06 anything. If you're in a bad mood, you can change
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09 your energy and flip that frown upside down.
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11 And if someone else is in a bad mood, and no,
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14 you don't want to come at them, but a little
00:32:14 --> 00:32:17 compliment, a little kindness goes a long way.
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20 And I think even if they're in a bad mood and
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22 they're not wanting to receive that, when they
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25 walk away, it is somehow still going to affect
00:32:25 --> 00:32:29 their energy in a positive way. Yeah. Well, they
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31 say if you have more than so many people in a
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33 meditation group, you're putting out a lot of
00:32:33 --> 00:32:37 positive energy into the environment, which actually
00:32:37 --> 00:32:41 does make changes. There's less fighting or crying
00:32:41 --> 00:32:48 in areas where more people do meditate. I agree
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51 with you. Anything where a group of people puts
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53 their energy. So whether it's meditation or prayer,
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56 you know, depending on your belief or a healing
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58 energy, like a healing circle, everyone's trying
00:32:58 --> 00:33:01 to send healing to somebody. The more people
00:33:01 --> 00:33:05 that focus on that same intention, the more powerful
00:33:05 --> 00:33:10 it is, right? Definitely. Yeah. Yeah. And again,
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14 I think it really comes down to, as I mentioned,
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17 you know, awareness, intention and choices. We
00:33:17 --> 00:33:21 have the choice to be happy every day or to be
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23 miserable. We have the choice to be kind or to
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26 be mean. Is it easier for some people because
00:33:26 --> 00:33:30 of their situation? Sure. Absolutely. Is it challenging
00:33:30 --> 00:33:35 certain days? Absolutely. But that is what. sets
00:33:35 --> 00:33:38 us apart as human beings right in our integrity
00:33:38 --> 00:33:42 and based on our intention making choices to
00:33:42 --> 00:33:45 support those where am I going to put my energy
00:33:45 --> 00:33:48 I want the day to go here so I need to do this
00:33:48 --> 00:33:52 this this to get that result I often before I
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55 even get out of bed will visualize my day and
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57 that's a little technique as well like meditation
00:33:57 --> 00:34:01 is visualization and I just go through my day
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03 my appointments my classes whatever I have to
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06 do and I can just whip through them but I always
00:34:06 --> 00:34:10 see them in a positive, successful. If I'm going
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14 into a meeting, I'm not going to visualize any
00:34:14 --> 00:34:17 kind of tension or rating or anything like that.
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19 I'm going to see everything in this very high
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21 vibe, the way I want it to go. I'm already setting
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24 that intention for it to happen, right? And that's
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27 my choice. And then as the day goes, if something
00:34:27 --> 00:34:31 comes in to change that energy that I've already
00:34:31 --> 00:34:34 set up, I'm better equipped to set it back on
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36 track because I've already seen it happen. I
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39 already know it's possible. I feel visualization,
00:34:39 --> 00:34:43 imagination, those are powerful gifts that we've
00:34:43 --> 00:34:46 been given. Yeah, definitely. And we can choose
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48 to use them or we can choose to not use them.
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51 And I do feel that people who are happier, more
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54 successful, have more abundance in their life
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57 and appreciate that abundance are people who
00:34:57 --> 00:35:01 use those tools. yeah well it's all about knowledge
00:35:01 --> 00:35:05 right if you're not guided to learn these things
00:35:05 --> 00:35:09 by your parents or friends or just intuition
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12 some people are just guided by their intuition
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15 to learn these things oh intuition is another
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18 powerful tool but again like like you said if
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20 you're in a surrounding that nobody's nurturing
00:35:20 --> 00:35:26 you to explore that intuition or for silencing
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28 you or telling Children should be seen and not
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30 heard. And we don't want to hear that unfortunate
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33 if people are in that situation, especially children.
00:35:33 --> 00:35:37 But you see people all the time rising above
00:35:37 --> 00:35:41 it or changing their environment and their circumstance.
00:35:41 --> 00:35:45 We can be born into a lot of unfortunate things,
00:35:45 --> 00:35:48 but we can, within our surroundings, make choices
00:35:48 --> 00:35:52 to move that life. Or we can go down that same
00:35:52 --> 00:35:55 route. Do you think that a person would be helped?
00:35:55 --> 00:35:59 by journaling things in their day, recording
00:35:59 --> 00:36:03 the energy? Absolutely. I feel like tools are
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05 a wonderful way of doing that. That's a fantastic
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08 tool. Is it everybody's tool? I'm a writer. I
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11 love writing. For me, I know people who do not
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14 love writing. So with technology, you could even
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16 journal it into your phone. You could make a
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19 voice memo. It doesn't have to be handwritten.
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22 But I think that that's a wonderful tool because...
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24 especially if you're going to go back to it because
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27 it's a way to keep track of things you want to
00:36:27 --> 00:36:30 if you try to quantify the the work that you're
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32 doing and the progress that you're making and
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35 you have a record of it written down then yeah
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38 it's a journaling can be a great tool for that
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41 and it's also a great way to just empty your
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43 bucket right that gets too full and you need
00:36:43 --> 00:36:46 to get something out you just kind of empty it
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49 and have to lead anywhere it's just a way of
00:36:49 --> 00:36:53 of clearing and flushing so yeah that's a great
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56 tool ida do you think um decluttering is a good
00:36:56 --> 00:37:00 way to get the energy going as well Oh, yeah,
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03 you've just touched on something for me because
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05 we're actually going to do a garage sale tomorrow
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08 because we need to declutter. It's true. All
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10 of these items hold energy. You have to find
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13 the balance that's right for you. I do like personal
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15 items because they have meaning to me from my
00:37:15 --> 00:37:19 travels or from my family. But I do think you
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22 can have way too much and it can clutter and
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25 it feels really good to clear it. It's a really,
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28 really freeing. You know, someone said that if
00:37:28 --> 00:37:31 it's like a ticket or something that you got
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34 from a police officer, don't keep it any longer
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36 than you have to. Yeah, I never even thought
00:37:36 --> 00:37:39 of that. Yeah. Yeah, all that negative stuff,
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41 a ticket, a bad report card, you know, things
00:37:41 --> 00:37:44 like that. Ceremoniously burn it if you want
00:37:44 --> 00:37:46 or just get rid of it, get it out of the house.
00:37:46 --> 00:37:49 Yeah. We actually, one of our guest speakers
00:37:49 --> 00:37:52 that talked about Feng Shui and all of the...
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54 Things need to be in alignment in your home.
00:37:54 --> 00:38:00 It is. We're human, but these are little things
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02 we can chip away at. I don't think anything is
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05 a big upheaval, change your whole life and you're
00:38:05 --> 00:38:08 going to be happy. I feel like these are practices
00:38:08 --> 00:38:11 that we do. We get better at as we do it and
00:38:11 --> 00:38:15 we just chip away at our list. Yeah. It's all
00:38:15 --> 00:38:18 baby steps. That's how I manage things. Some
00:38:18 --> 00:38:21 people are full out, okay, I'm going to eat healthy,
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24 empty out all of the cupboards, replace with
00:38:24 --> 00:38:28 everything, boom, new chapter. I think that's
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30 very difficult for most people, and I don't know
00:38:30 --> 00:38:33 how sustainable that is. Yeah, actually, someone
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35 also mentioned if you're trying to get rid of
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37 things, but they have some kind of sentimental
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40 value to take a photograph of it and keep the
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42 photo or keep it, you know, the digital photo
00:38:42 --> 00:38:45 on your phone so that you always can. Oh, I remember
00:38:45 --> 00:38:48 that. And someone so gave it to me. But then
00:38:48 --> 00:38:50 get rid of the object because you don't need
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52 it cluttering up your house and you don't. Certain
00:38:52 --> 00:38:55 things don't need to have that memory attached
00:38:55 --> 00:38:59 all the time. Yeah. Good tip I learned as well.
00:39:00 --> 00:39:04 Yeah. Well, we've just covered a quick run -through
00:39:04 --> 00:39:08 of this topic. Christine has a 90 -minute slideshow
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11 available for her platform for all members on
00:39:11 --> 00:39:14 this topic itself. Thank you, Christine, for
00:39:14 --> 00:39:17 this lovely presentation. Power and Aging is
00:39:17 --> 00:39:20 a celebration of wisdom, wellness, and community,
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22 whether you're ready to reset your health, reclaim
00:39:22 --> 00:39:26 your energy, or reconnect. to yourself. Christine
00:39:26 --> 00:39:28 and Melanie are here to support your journey

00:39:30 --> 00:39:35 in the description section with her website and
00:39:35 --> 00:39:39 whatever else I think I should put there. Okay,
00:39:39 --> 00:39:43 thank you, Christine. And it was very enlightening
00:39:43 --> 00:39:46 to talk to you today and reminding me of all
00:39:46 --> 00:39:49 these things. And I'm sure everybody else appreciated
00:39:49 --> 00:39:52 that never do any of this. Yeah, it's always
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54 nice to learn new things and to remember things
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57 that we forgot that can really lend a helping
00:39:57 --> 00:40:00 hand to make our lives more intentional and have
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03 the results we're looking for. So I really appreciate
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06 you inviting me to your platform, Ida. Thank
00:40:06 --> 00:40:09 you so much. And thank you for coming. I appreciated
