909. Woo-woo practices that actually work + have radically changed my life

24:20Cause when I do retreats, I'm like in my dharma. And there was a part of me that was like so heartbroken because my husband couldn't see me host a retreat. And so after every retreat, I would just bawl my eyes out. I would just be like so emotional and just be like, Oh my God, like this, he's missing out on this opportunity of seeing me. And she picked up on that right away. She's like, you're crying because of this thing. She's like, God, you're so hard on yourself. You have this part of you that's kind of bringing your vibration back down and not allowing you to really bask in the glory of what you're doing and honoring what you've done and how far you've come and just honoring yourself as you.

24:54And that slight reframe of just acknowledging that moment of what I was doing and seeing that I was really not loving myself and honoring myself as me, that I was looking for someone else to do that, really shifted something for me that supported me in that next step. It wasn't groundbreaking, it wasn't crazy, but it was what I needed in that moment. And that was all I needed to learn for that next couple months. I wasn't going to do that again. I got that nugget. So healers and teachers often have nuggets that you need to hear in that moment. And then they often have things that won't be supportive for you.

25:25So being discernment and understanding who you are are essential when working with them. You can DM me too, if you want any recommendations for some amazing people, because I have amazing people that I've worked with over the years, like incredible, like incredible, amazing, kind, loving, whole, pure people that I deeply, deeply love. And the real point of working with someone is sometimes guides and teachers, coaches as well, can see things outside your field that you can't. So we're so in our own experience and in our lives that it can be helpful to have someone else's sight and someone else's guidance in the process of you becoming whole.

26:00The third thing is having energetic hygiene for my space and the spaces that I'm in. so I'll never forget when I was young I had first of all like something in my room when I was little growing up it was so scary kept me up all night and I used to stuff all my clothes down the vent because this thing would come up through the vent and like get me at night I'm so crazy but it did so I've been scared of spaces in the dark for so long like going into the darkness retreat the five-day cave experience that I did was really what cured my fear of the dark. I had always been afraid of the dark. I'd always been impacted by spaces and places.

26:41And I kind of just felt like that's what my life was. Like I would feel energy in a room. I would feel sad or upset or scared or weirded out by spaces that I would go to. We went on a lot of trips when I was younger. My family traveled quite a bit and we would go to Europe all the time. And whenever we were in Europe, I'd be so scared because we were in these weird castles in these places where it's dingy and cold. And on these trips, I kid you not, I would sleep maximum 10 hours for a week because I'd be so terrified of what was going on in that room. And the way that I got out of that fear of the space was working with energetic hygiene and then working with my guides to cleanse and clear the space.

27:22So there's physical things that you can do to energetically cleanse and clear your space. and then there's, you know, more of the spiritual things that you can do. So whenever I'm going to a hotel, because I travel a lot to a new space, I will always, you know, introduce myself to the space. I'll say like, I'm Krista. I'm here for a week. I'm excited to be in the space, like sending love and light to all beings and entities or the land of this space. So I'll just kind of introduce myself. And this again, sounds crazy, but it's true. And then I will, um, I will send my angels and guides to kind of stand in the four corners.

27:55They'll put like, you know, surrounding the room with golden crater lights. They'll put up like golden, they'll like just kind of put like a golden sphere around the space. They'll remove any entities, thought forms or beings or energies that have been left resonant in the space. What I'll do is basically come in, introduce myself, call on my guides to cleanse and clear the space. And then I'll set my energetic intention of clarity and clearness in the space or abundance or whatever it is to remove anything from the space that I don't want. it's really important that you do this in hotels because there's so much transient energy going in and out of hotels.

28:31So you really stepping in and declaring ownership of the energy experience of the space in a hotel is really powerful and essential. And I'll also do this in, you know, my house as well. So, you know, there was a situation recently where there was like kind of like a funky energy move in at my space after something that had happened. And, um, You know, working with my team of guides and angels can help remove that from the space. I'll sometimes ask for outside help because sometimes it's like it's hard for me to get everything myself when it's so close to me. And so I had to work with someone to help me cleanse and clear the space.

29:08But a lot of prayer work and a lot of asking for support work can really help that process. Otherwise, for physical things that you can do in the space, you can put salt in the four corners of the room. That's like an old witch practice. Salt, because it's negatively ionized, can help pull negativity from the air. And so you can put salt for like a few days and just allow it to absorb anything that's negative in that room. Throw it out after a few days for sure. Kind of make a prayer over it to kind of release and clear that energy. You can use Palo Santo. You can use sage. You can open up the windows.

29:44I think one of my favorite ways is to open up every single window at my house, all the sliding doors and just allow all the air to recirculate in my home. Allow the sun to come in. There's nothing really better for cleansing and clearing besides intention, sunlight, and fresh air. Like that is so far beyond amazing for cleansing and clearing your space, allowing the natural four elements of the space to cleanse and clear the space. You can also use holy water in spaces. I have really beautiful holy water that I love to use for rituals and just even cleansing and clearing my space. I bring it with me when I travel.

30:21I love that very much. And I think when you just are attuned and emotional and empathetic and aware of energy, it can be something that you need to first give yourself the freedom and confidence to believe what you feel. So before doing all of that, it's important that you allow yourself to believe what you feel. Because if you walk into a space and you're like, ooh, I feel something's fun. We got the apartment and I I remember being like very straight faced. I was like, we got it. And I was like, okay. And we were moving in. I was like, we're moving in. I was like, okay. And it was just sus. There was a sus energy about this space.

30:55And there was a sus energy about the bedroom. First night, just super weird energy, super sus. Like, and I started crying. I was just so emotional. It was like, I was transmuting all of this energy. I'm like, ugh. Had to talk to someone. And I was like, it just feels funky. Basically, they confirmed there was something in the space. Had to do this whole ritual. had to clear it and that night I had this entity this like the being that was in the space come to me and I was just like get the fuck out it left and we were all good but I had to trust that I was feeling off and that it was the space and that there was something off so this was the second time that I was pregnant and I just love pregnancy because I get so attuned to like everything that I put in my body.

31:39And one of those things is my prenatal. A prenatal I recommend highly is from Ritual. The Ritual Essential Prenatal is a part of my routine and I really love it because it has just these essential nutrients that we need during pregnancy, especially like choline, like folate, and omega-3. I also love it because when I'm taking it, the sensory experience, it doesn't smell weird it has like this little tab in there that keeps it really fresh like a citrusy taste and smells and i just found it to be gentler on my stomach first trimester i was so nauseous but over the course of my entire pregnancy and i still take prenatals postpartum it's really gentle on my stomach ritual selects bioavailable key nutrients designed for optimal absorption so that's really important your body actually absorbs these and all the products are evidence-based so don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

I'd like to say he eats a little bit more than other kids, but he is still picky. So if you have a kid who basically survives on the beige foods, you know the struggle. And with Mav, I just don't want every meal to turn into that negotiation. that's why I have been giving him Ella Ola. It's basically a completely tasteless, colorless vitamin powder. It's not a gummy, it's not a chewable. So into his water, I have electrolytes in there too, but I put it in his water or his milk.

And then we kind of went through the process of clearing it from the energy that was previously in it. But if I hadn't trusted myself and I was just like, I'm weird. Something's wrong with me. We would have been in a space that had a funky energy for a year. And that ends up impacting your health, your wellness, and a lot of times your relationships.

34:32So it's really powerful for you as a woman, especially to trust yourself when you go into spaces. Your environment that you're in is either regulating you and giving you peace or dysregulating you and making you feel chaos. so you need to make sure that the environment that your energy your energy is in is surrounded by beauty love joy abundance and clearing that space really regularly is going to be super helpful so the fourth one is aura cleansing and protection so I cleanse and clear my aura at least twice a day at morning and night and honestly you guys this is a crazy thing that I'm going to say but we're all friends here I think since I've been cleansing and clearing my aura I've become more beautiful and that people have been able to see me more clearly and that more light has been able to get in and people have been able to like love me more deeply because I don't have so much static and like gunk and stuff on my auric field.

35:28Oftentimes when people go through a lot of things, when people are stressed or anxious, like all of that energy sort of is kept around them. It's almost like pig pen from Charlie Brown in their auric field. And the more that I've been cleansing and clearing my aura, repairing any of the rips, tears, or holes, and just restoring it back to its vital force essence. The more beautiful I've felt, the more clear I've felt, and the more like me I've felt. From a spiritual and energy body perspective, most traditions say that you don't have just one aura, that you have multiple layers, but I usually just work with my aura.

36:03Sometimes I'll ask for specific layers of my auric field to be worked on if I feel something in particular. But I think for the sake of this podcast right now, just talking about our aura really is supportive. So our aura is essentially, you know, the seven auras are different. But if we were to think about our aura, it's the energy around us. Oftentimes, if we are in toxic environments, toxic relationships, we have toxic thoughts, we are around like pollution, smoke, all of that, it kind of gets stuck in our energy field. And there's a lot of data around this that you could have this kind of charge in your energy field.

36:36So what I'll do is I'll ask my angels and guides in the morning and sometimes in the evening to cleanse and clear my aura. To just cleanse and clear my energy fields, I'll ask them to repair any rips, any tears, any holes in my auric field. Oftentimes, people, places, or things can create rips, tears, or holes in your aura. you know, negative thoughts, negative people, toxic people can create rips, tears, and holes in your aura. So I'll ask for a restoration of my aura. And then I'll ask to be restored to my vital force essence. So my vital force essence is just like my essence, like the essence of Krista, like who I truly am at my core, like the unique soul aspect of me, the divinity in me.

37:21And I'll ask to be restored to that vital force essence. And I think that's also been an aspect of me becoming more embodied, more confident, more me is like every single night, I'm just like, restore me back to me, restore me back to Krista, restore me back to the essence of who I know myself to be and who I came into this world as. And so I think doing that can be super supportive. So aura cleaning is really, really beautiful. And with aura cleansing, I don't go to sleep carrying what's not mine anymore, which is essential. The next one is prayer as conversation. So I have so many people DM me about this around prayer because I share my prayers very openly and vulnerably on my Instagram.

37:58It's Krista. And prayer has been a huge part of my life, allowing God into my life in a way that feels supportive and loving and conversational and juicy and supportive has been essential to my growth and my peace in my life. And I've made prayer my daily conversation with God. And I've realized that the more I can make it not performative or not scriptive, or I can talk out loud, I can ask for help. I can express gratitude. I can surrender what I can't control. The better my mental health has been, the better my spiritual health has been, the better my relationships have been. And I've just felt such a sense of peace and knowance that I'm taking care of and that all is well.

38:42And it's been really beautiful to see too how I've been able to impact people with the prayers that I've been sharing, people that normally didn't pray or were afraid to pray, people that are afraid of God or afraid to have a relationship with the creator. It's been beautiful because God's been really bringing me to pray in more spaces. And I think in the past month, I've been called to pray at two birthdays, a dinner, three events. And so I'm doing it more and more publicly just because I love it. And I want people to know that they're loved and that all is well and that they can release control.

39:17So having my prayer feel like conversation is a really essential part of my woo-woo process. The next one is having a radical trust in my intuition. It is like my friend, my friend Danielle, Danielle Laporte was here the other day and my girl is sharp. And she was like, you are so discerning. And I'm like, I don't even know how to be any other way, but I will go into a space and I'm like, I'll meet another person. I'm like, that person is for, you know, like the way that I'm able to clearly know and know what is for me and not for me and not make it bad or good is a practice and a ritual and a privilege.

39:56And I'm so grateful. And I think all women need to trust their intuitions much more deeply, much more firmly and much more quickly. So I don't any more question what my intuition says. The other day I had a call with a client and I was like, oh, you know, I was getting the fairies. I was getting that she has, she works with fairies and she has fairies around her. My intuition just said that, you know, it's not like I'm like working with fairies quite often, but I was like, yeah, can I tell you like, there's a lot of fairies in your field. And that's a weird thing to say, you guys, but I'm like, whatever.

40:29I just trust it. And she just pulls out this like poster. She's like, I love fairies. I work with them. I've felt like I've had them my whole life. I definitely feel that and it just like affirmed what I had thought but it's not a normal thing to tell someone they have fairies with them so just saying that to say that there's going to be things that you think or do that are weird you're not going to want to go to the party you're not going to want to stay out late you're not going to want to talk to that person you're not going to want to go on a date with that guy like listen to your intuition to what it is saying and do not doubt it do not trust it do not explain it to anyone I do not explain if they want to know what I'm feeling, what I'm seeing, they can know.

41:04But it's, you know, it's sometimes people don't want to know. And I will say the more and more you listen to your intuition, the more discerning you get, the more beautiful life gets, and the more loving you feel. And I think I love more people now that I trust my intuition because I'm no longer afraid. And on the flip side, it is, I have to constantly affirm myself that I'm not a bad person because my intuition is telling me something. Like as an example, when I meet people, you know, I can meet someone that like everyone loves and is amazing. And I can just have a thought or a feeling or something that I see or feel.

41:41And it doesn't mean they're bad or good, or I don't like them, but it's like, oh, I just noticed this about them. You know, money is their God. You know, they idolize attention. You know, I can kind of just pick on that. And it just shows me how to move with people. It doesn't make me not love people or respect them, but it shows me how to move. And that's the real goal is our intuition is our guide and our compass and it should always show you how to move. So having radical trust in your intuition is really, really essential. I think there's also, the next thing that I want to talk about is having a lot of devotion and discipline.

42:17You may look weird and you may look odd and I've looked weird and odd in my life doing the things that I do, but it works for me. So there was this 21 day prayer that I've done. It was a 21 day prayer and I've ended up doing it for five years now, um, that I share with my clients. And it is one of the most transformative prayers I've ever done in my life for new timelines and for up levels. And it has become a ritual for me and has become devotional for me. And it is something that like just has resonated and works for myself and my clients, that subconscious reprogramming reminder of, you know, a restoration of our vessel, of our timeline, of our divine soul blueprint, like it's a whole thing.

43:02But that type of woo-woo prayer, like years ago, I might not have trusted or done or given up on, but it's been something that I've really brought into my practice. So showing up to my practices daily spiritually, even if it's annoying and I have to do a prayer, even if it's like me praying on a subway, on a train, on a bus, you know, whatever, like it's going to be a committed part of my practice to do the thing. I read my prayer on planes all the time. Like my prayer is like a crinkled up paper from one of my teachers. And I will be on the plane reading this prayer like out loud to myself. And it's like, it is what it is.

43:38It's worked for me and it's really, really changed my life. So doing things that are devotional and discipline and building trust with the unseen. I think that's the important part of this process is by doing these things that are weird and, you know, odd, I bring my rosary places. I travel with my rosary. I travel with my holy water. Like I travel with my spiritual books, my crystals sometimes. Doing these things has built my faith in the unseen and built my trust with myself and my intuition and really just been like, I am the guide here. Like I have the power here and I am able to really trust myself in this process.

44:13And it's okay if I look weird. And I think for a lot of women, they have such embarrassment of their spirituality and their woo-woo, and they have that witch wound where you were afraid because in a past lifetime you were maybe burned at the stake for being woo-woo. Own it in this lifetime. Own your expression of spirituality, your gifts, your magic. Like, own it. Who cares? Like, what, it's cooler for someone to be eating fast food, watching, like, shit TV on their YouTube than, like, you to be, like, praying with a rosary? like what kind of what's the what's the normal that we're comparing ourselves to making ourselves crazy this has been going on forever like the bible is a deeply mystical book of rituals and prophecies and visions and almost all spiritual books of meaning have deep prophecy rituals like all of it so making it okay for yourself and letting yourself be outed to being super spiritual into being someone that is doing something weird and out there.

45:10Another interesting thing that I do is I protect my subconscious. And the way that I do that is I don't have any music or sounds on at my house that I'm not consciously aware of. There's not YouTube running, TV running, music running, nothing is running in the background without me being consciously aware of it. There's something about my mind that can never have a sound or a noise out without me being very aware of it. I don't allow anything to seep into my subconscious without my awareness. So oftentimes, if you were just working at your house and you understand how the subconscious works, and you understand that if your conscious awareness is maybe on your work, and then you have the TV playing and it's Maury Povich and people are fighting and yelling and screaming, your subconscious is taking all of that in.

47:25It was very cute. He did a great job. but I was very nervous that he would just have a total meltdown and not let them look at his teeth, but did a great job. But I was thinking about my own dental health, postpartum, got to get back to the dentist. I was really excited to find this brand for us all. Okay. So it's called Lorene and this is a chewing gum. Okay. This is a chewing gum that is better for you, better for your teeth. It uses nano hydroxy appetite, and this is the mineral your teeth are actually made of. So this is going to support your enamel health. So if you're eating and drinking things that aren't necessarily good for your teeth, like let's replace it or at least follow it with some Laureen.

48:06They sent me some to try and I was like, wait, this is actually very good. The mint flavor is phenomenal. So that's my favorite. I'll usually chew it after meals or after I have my coffee in the morning and my mouth just feels very fresh, which is always a nice feeling. My husband loves it. So right now, Laureen Co. is offering our listeners up to 50 % off at by Laureen.com slash almost 30. That's B-U-Y-L-A-R-I-N-E.com slash almost 30 for up to 50 % off. From a information level, a message level, and a vibratory level. So you are allowing yourself to be prone to messages and input and information that is not supportive of your highest timeline, that is affirming men and women fight, relationships suck, people are horrible, you know, da, da, da, da, da, da.

48:55You need to be diligent with your mind. A Course in Miracles says an untrained mind can accomplish nothing. So your untrained mind can accomplish nothing. You need to be really hyper vigilant about what is going into your brain. Your brain is a computer. It's really just like taking and sussing out the information. So I don't allow anything into my mind without having awareness of it. I don't really listen to, you know, music with bad lyrics or bad imagery, or that cuts down women or cuts down our bodies or only talks about money and all these things. Like that is not what I'm going to do. Because if you believe affirmations work, if you understand how the subconscious works, if you understand how words work, then you should know that words match with vibrations is going to impact you.

49:40You are a vibratory being. So the vibration of whatever that is, is going to impact your vibration and put you in a mood. You've heard music make you so happy. You've heard music make you dance. You know what music will make your body and your feelings do. And so it is doing that all the time. So I don't listen to music that is negative, that makes me feel off, that makes me feel weird. And I protect my subconscious mind. The things that I do listen to, I listen to gospel music. I listen to high vibrational music. I listen to Scandinavian jazz. I listen to old songs that I know are clean and clear that I love.

50:15I listen to frequencies. I listen to activations app. So activations app, I love activations.com slash almost 30. I think the soak app S O A A K is just frequencies. So the frequency app will put out frequencies to align with a higher vibrational frequency than what you're at. So I listened to wealth and prosperity with that one success. It's been really beautiful, but I'm super hypervigilant with my subconscious and I don't let anything get in that I don't want to get in, that I don't want to be super mindful of because music is programming. Okay. They're trying to program us with the music. You are affirming things all day to yourself, whether you like it or not, if you're listening to some of that stuff.

50:56The next thing that I do is I see manifestation as, um, through, I see manifestation as identity and energy. And I love the TBM work, of course, with Lacey, and it's just so much deeper than the basic manifestation. But I've always felt like the life that I want is gonna be manifested through the identity that I'm stepping into, the identity declaration that I have in this now moment and really focusing on my energy. By focusing on my energy in this now moment, I can trust and know that the life that I'm building and the life that I'm stepping forward to is gonna be beautiful and it might be better than I could have ever imagined.

51:33And I've sort of let go of having a deep sense of control over what I'm manifesting because I know and I've seen repeatedly how much better things are when I let God make moves rather than me. You know, almost 30. I didn't ever try for this. I didn't ever want it. I didn't ever seek it. I didn't ever effort it. And it's been the most beautiful thing in my life, coaching. I was like, I'm available, God, if you want me to serve in this way. And now it's a seven-figure business helping women all over the world become who they came here to be and I'm obsessed with it. And so I really allow God to make moves in my life more than I do myself and allowing my manifestation to be visualized, allowing manifestation to be visualizations, but really feeling it.

52:17Joe Dispenza's work is really powerful for that because it brings through the emotions. The elevated emotion mixed with the visualization is actually the power of it. Jack Kornfield also has something called mind movies and mind movies is you adding a bunch of images together with music that you love to get yourself in a higher vibration state, to look at images that you're excited about, to manifest that into your reality. So there's a few different methods that you could do. I don't really practice those that much, but I've really felt like being the version of me who already has it is the way and that it's not about attracting, it's about becoming.

52:52Because I can trust that even if my mind is short, if I become her, I'm going to attract what's meant for me rather than what my smaller ego mind will want. Another thing that I do that's woo-woo that works is I bless my food, honey. You guys know I love and honor my body so much. I talk about that a lot in my metamorphosis program, which is helping you have a better and deeper relationship with your body. And in it, I talk a little bit about some woo-woo practices that work. And one of them is blessing our food. There's actually scientific research that talks about blessing food and how it can impact the overall nutritional value, the absorption in your body.

53:31It can regulate your nervous system before you eat. It can lower your cortisol. You can actually put your body into a state where it's more apt to digest the food that you're eating when you bless it. And so I love to bless my body and just thank everyone that's been involved in bringing that food to my life, that food to my belly, that food to my mouth, and just put a lot of light into my food and just put a lot of love into my food, I'm really grateful to eat really well and eat really healthy and have access to incredible, amazing food here in California. And I never want that to feel like it's normal or I'm not grateful for it.

54:08And so having that moment to bless my food with my hands over it is something that I really, really love to do. Oftentimes with my friends, we'll bless our food together. We'll hold hands. We'll pray. We'll sit there for a moment and just kind of slow down our bodies and our breath, which allows us to digest more, to be more calm, to enjoy the meal more, to slow down. And then it also really allows the food to taste better because we've taken our time by blessing it. So blessing the food that I eat, praying over the food, infusing it with intention and receiving it instead of just consuming it is also a really beautiful part of the process.

54:47Especially if you're a woman who has a hard time receiving, you focusing on receiving the nutrients and the love from the food can be a really beautiful practice in this process. So I don't just eat my food. I bless it and I receive it in my body. Another woo-woo thing that I do that I really love is whenever I'm in a moment where I'm feeling stressed or anxious, or I'm feeling like really angry about something, or I'm with friends and, you know, we want to say something that's kind of like shit talky or gossipy. You know, I don't love, I don't gossip really, but if there's a moment where I'm like, I gotta just, I gotta let the lower part of me just be expressed.

55:23I gotta just say something like, let it move. What I'll do and what my friends and I will do now is we will just kind of be like, God, just put this in a bubble and just have it cleanse and clear and release after I say it, just make no harm with the words that I'm saying. I will ask God and my angels to just remove any energy, any anger, any frustration from my words, have them not land, have them not hit. So that I'm really just clearing all of the words that I'm saying so that they don't have impact or power. Especially in the teachings of Kabbalah, it talks a lot about the impact of words and evil eye when you could have jealousy or envy of someone.

55:58So if ever I have a feeling of that, I don't want to deny it. And I don't want to shut it down and gaslight myself to being like, I should be perfect and I should be fine all the time. It's like, no, I can be a human and a spiritual being, but I can just ask that the space is removed and cleared of that. And I can just settle into my heart after I say that and just be like, oh, I just needed to say that. And I'm back to like my place of love and light or love and peace or whatever the feeling is. But asking for your words to sort of continue moving or to clear or to dissolve, especially if they're filled with anger or hate or rage, can sort of help keep your space clear, but honor the truth of how you feel.

56:35So using your words, almost like spells with what you're doing to direct and guide them. You can also say, if you're praying with someone, you could just say, God, please have these words just resonate and work with her in a way that's impactful and powerful and really amplify and up-level your prayers with your words and intention. So using your words really wisely, using my words wisely is a really powerful part of my woo-woo practice. Our words are literally spells. It is what it is. It's been around for a long time. So when we're declaring things, calling things in or renouncing patterns, that can also be really helpful.

57:09One of the phrases that I use so often, and if you're my friend or you're my client, you've heard me say this. I say, I do not consent all the time. Or I'll be like, not for me. You know, someone will be talking about the big, oh my gosh, men are horrible and men always cheat and men are just losers. I'm like, not in my reality. And I denounce and declare that that is not in my experience, not in my reality, or I'll say I do not consent. Like, I'm like, I don't consent to that. Christians would say, I rebuke that. They'll be like, I rebuke that. But you can just use words and phrases to really get out of your energy and your psyche things that are not supporting of your path in your timeline.

57:50If someone's talking negatively about someone, they're like, I'm like, I do not consent to that energy. I do not consent to that gossip. If someone is, you know, saying like, oh, you should do this or that, like, I do not consent to that. That's not what I want for my life. I'm not allowing that to be said yes, because a lot of times we have a lot of energetic yeses that we're saying. And when we can bring to our conscious what we're available for and what we're not, it can be really, really powerful. I will say that when there's the TV is on somewhere, you know, they're saying something like life is really hard and life is tough and you could never get by anywhere.

58:23I will say out loud, I do not consent. I do not consent to that thought. I'm not allowing any thoughts in my reality that I don't want in my reality. I have the choice of what my reality is and I'm not allowing those thoughts into my mind. And again, I'm not like in a conversation with someone, they're like, yeah, it's been a really tough year. And you know, my mom died and I'm like, I do not consent. I'm like, you guys, this is very nuanced, very fine tuned. Again, this is 201 to 301 level stuff. So I'm not being a weirdo, but I'm in my mind at times, like if there are things that people are saying or beliefs or stories that people have that are outdated that I don't want, I will say that to myself in my mind or I'll just kind of send back that energy.

59:01I'm not doing it when I'm like when someone needs me to hold space for them. I'm like completely available for that. But you want to just be mindful about what's coming in and out of your field. I think the last thing that I'll say about the woo-woo practices and rituals and things that I do is that I really trust that my journey of my spirituality is unique to me and mine is my own. And I want that for everybody. You know, I think that there's this belief that you have to identify with one religion, one practice, one principle, one thing. And what I love so much about this human experience is the journey of discovering what works for me and what doesn't, what I love to do and what I don't and what feels right in my body and what doesn't.

59:36I've tried so many different things like float tanks. I'm good on all that. Breath work, not for me. Like autobiography of a yogi, the worst book I've ever read. Like I've had so many different things. I'm like, it doesn't work for me. But then there's other things that I love, like law of one or a course of miracles, you know, that people are like, that's so weird, but I love it. So having permission for yourself, giving yourself permission to be woo-woo, to be weird, to love what you love, to practice what you love, to use what is supportive of you and leave the rest. Your spiritual practice, your soul's expression on earth does not need to look like anyone else's.

1:00:15It does not need to follow a rule or a regiment or a guideline. I love God. I love Christ. I find so much beauty in Christianity, but a lot of it wouldn't work in this type of space for me because of what I practice and do. So I take what is helpful for me from practices like Christianity. I've also read the Quran. There's beautiful parts of it. Kabbalah I love. And I just find what works for me and feels good for me and is supportive of my path. It might change in a year. I let that happen. I let that be available. I mean, I was working with dragons like two years ago. So, you know, it's like you just allow yourself to evolve.

1:00:52You allow the practices to evolve. You allow your journey to be unique to you. And you just really own the fact that you might be a little woo-woo and you might be weird. Okay. And if you guys are, you know, almost 30 OG listeners, you guys are little weirdos like me. We've gone on a journey. We've had some really interesting conversations on the pod and I'm just so grateful that we've been together in this process. So I hope you enjoy this one. Definitely send it with a friend. I I think this is such a good one for you and girlfriends to be like, okay, which ones are we doing? Which one should we practice?

1:01:20Which one shouldn't we practice? Like it can be very fun and interesting to kind of have this be in conversation and just kind of swap notes. Like see what your bestie is doing, you know, in the morning for her morning ritual, maybe her Newman ritual and swap and collab. You can find me on Instagram at it's Krista. It's I-T-S-K-R-I-S-T-A.
