Beauty Is Frequency: Energetic Radiance with Mikaela MacLean

25:40You know how to make it go down easy for people. And also even like, there's cool things in the chart that I speak to prosperity and stuff. And beauty specifically is one of the things in your chart. I love where the sun is about to go into that particular place. It's in Pisces. I have it as well. And just people who have this ability to, like I said, make things beautiful, make them lovely. Even you don't see it in yourself and other people see you in this like really, you know, like, like it's like a little, like the halo effect. There's just something about people that have this particular energy.

26:12And in your case, it isn't a very like prosperous place so that when you lean into that, you know, it's like, oh, good things come out of it. I would say it's like a soft pace, like a soft place for other people to land. The funny side of it though, cause everything's got a high and a low. I'm like, there's the shadow side and then there's a positive side. It's like, if it doesn't feel like, if it's not in the mood, doesn't want to listen to things. I find myself, I'm like, oh, you know, like, no, I'm not interested. Or even just hearing things repetitively is really beneficial for people like you and I.

26:44Yeah, absolutely. Because all of a sudden it's going to soak in, you know? So there's just so many, just amazing, amazing things in the chart. But at the end of the, I got to look at the astrology version of your chart. I look at like so many different, so many different things. Because you being a Scorpio, I'm like, where do we have that? Oh, you're a Scorpio in the first house. So it's like very almost like Plutonian. Like when people meet you, it's a very transformative experience. I guess it's kind of a funny thing to say to someone, but it's like that is, and you're a Pluto like on rising in your chart too.

27:17So yeah, like very, whether or not you even recognize it in yourself, it's something that's going to come very natural to you. But I'm sure that people that encounter you and that know you, that's probably probably makes a lot of sense to them. At the end of the day, like there's stuff, my favorite placements in the chart have to do with something called the nodes, the North and the South node. It's about your karma and your Dharma. I'm obsessed, right? And you're an Aries North node. It's like in your, it's in your everyday work and health, health and wellness area of your chart. And it's funny because you're coming from like the very spiritual place and bringing that, I would say it's like you're, you're somebody who's meant to make the intangible tangible.

27:59Right. And also it's coming from Libra, Libra in Pisces domain. So this is, this is being somebody who's about beauty, balance, fairness, all of that partnership. And you're really in this lifetime on top of this whole wellness and wellbeing, like meant to like choose yourself, you know, to like kind of put yourself first unapologetically, but also even kind of within that, even in the design, it's like, it's shaman energy. Cool. Yeah. So, you know, I don't know. I'm always like, I don't know what that means to you, but it's like, it's just what I see. It's interesting too, with the nodes, you really kind of like step into that space 40 plus it's really after your Uranus opposition.

28:40That's when it becomes really prominent. It's like, it's time to start doing your Dharma, you know, but I, I give people prescriptions based around all of this stuff. So that was my question I was going to ask. So like, based on this, are you like, so based on this, I would be curious, like, you know, what you would tell me. And then also I was going to ask, do you ever look at someone's chart and kind of, I don't know how to like, are you like your face doesn't match your chart or like your face does match your chart or are you, you know what I mean? Like, are you ever like, Oh, like you should like accentuate this more.

29:13Like if you had like a stronger, this, that would like bring out this. I mean, I'm curious about that. You know, I don't actually don't, I don't think I use it in that way. It's more like, let me, let me prescribe you the, I would say the tools, the oils, the crystals, the practices, the things that are just going to enhance you. Like, like, like it would be like spiritual skincare that way, you know, like, let me, let me give you all like, if, you know, just as an esthetician would give you a whole regime, you know, it's like, I'm going to give you, okay, like I want you using this crystal and, you know, saying these affirmations or, you know, or even just giving you like a jumping off point to start working from, you know, because yeah, like, it's funny him saying jumping off point because you really are somebody who's meant to kind of like take the hand of people and leap into the void, like, you know, unafraid to like go there and do it first and make it less scary for other people.

30:08That's exactly what I do for my husband. Okay. That's why our partnership, I mean, like, that's just like, we have a very, like, we're very aligned and like following like more and more in love, the more kids and the more businesses we have, like, we're better now than we were when we met, like times a thousand, which is really cool. Like we support each other with work, like with scary stuff, like very. Yeah. Like when I asked him, do you like my teeth? He wouldn't tell me, but it wasn't because he didn't. He said, what do you think about them? He said, I care about how you feel. He said, I love you in all forms.

30:49You've always been so beautiful to me. If it makes you feel better, then that is what's important to me. Do I prefer one over the other? And by the way, he won't, he's not, even if he preferred my other teeth, he would never tell me that. That would hurt my feelings. He would never want my feelings to be hurt. Totally. Absolutely. And he has told me before when we were dating, I went to a doctor for some injections and he like filled my under eye. I just went for some Botox and like filled my under eye, like through my cheek. And it was like way too much. I didn't even go there for that. It was like this, like Beverly Hills doctor that like, you know, sometimes they'll look at you and make you feel so ugly.

31:28And he put all the, and I was like swollen. It was bad. And I saw him like a couple of weeks later, we were long distance at the time. And he was like, I'm horrified that somebody did that to your face. Like he was just like, you're beautiful and you're young and like, no one should make you feel like you need to get something like that done. Like it wasn't, you know, it came from this, like really, he wasn't like, you look bad, you know, but he was like a protective place. It was very protective. And so, you know, there's like this very loving, he, yeah, we have a very constructive relationship, but like take, you talk about like taking his hand and taking him into the void.

32:03Like, yeah, my God, like he was going to do the job that he had when we met, like forever. He was going to like die doing that job. And I was like, you're going to quit your dream job. And like, we're going to move and like, you're going to start your own business. And like, he's like, I mean, it's hard, but like all the time he's like, I'm doing this because of you, you know? I'm like, it's a very cool, it's a very cool partnership in that way. What's his sign? Leo. Oh, okay. Love that. You are unconscious son. So, you know, like your normal sun in your chart is Scorpio, but your unconscious is Leo.

32:32Oh, cool. I didn't even know that I had an unconscious sun. So it's like, that's like very going to be very attractive to like other people. Yeah. In design, you get like double of everything, which is amazing. So you can find out like, you're like, oh, that's what people like even see in you and how you radiate, you know, really brightly. It falls in your 10th house too, which is your career house. So it's like very, yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. This summer, don't let thinning hair hold you back.

So what would you prescribe to me based on my chart? What's something that I could do?

37:02Well, I have people fill out intake forms when when I, when I work with them, because it's like a lot of times they tell me everything that I need to know, you know, they don't know they're doing it, but yeah, of course they write me a little novel. And then I'm like, Oh, well, this is all the places in your chart that we're going to, you know, address. What would you say? If you don't mind my asking, what would you feel like your biggest thing is, you know, that you're either struggling with, or maybe a bit of a hangup or something that will help me formulate body or like face, like are we talking anything?

37:31anything well I mean my biggest hang up is that I am like need to like focus I need to be more focused and do more but I do I think that I'll tell you what my biggest hang up is my biggest hang up is that I've had such a contentious relationship with my body since I was very young and, you know, grew up in a society, you know, in the nineties and early two thousands where it was like thinness was, was just top tier. I mean, you know, this too, obviously you lived through this. So, you know, not having the genetic, like, you know, my dad was a big, he was the offensive lineman. Like my sister and I have always, and my brothers like have had to work very hard to have like the kind of bodies that we think we're supposed to have.

38:27And so, you know, I was prone to gaining weight. You know, I gained like 35 pounds my freshman year of high school. I gained a mature, you know, and then people would talk about it and they would say, what a shame it was that my body looked like that. Cause my face was so pretty, you know, it was like very openly talked about. And, and so I have like, you know, I don't speak kind things to my body, which has done so much for me. It is healthy and beautiful and giving you babies, made children and is like, you know, I have like a very healthy sex life with my husband. You know, it's not like things aren't working or, and so I think that's like my biggest hang up is just like being more like internally proud of my body and speaking to it in that way.

39:15Cause I say bad things about my body. Oh, girl. I'm like, same. Like I was like ballet dancer, anorexia, you know, Kate Moss era, that whole thing. You're like, no, there's nothing as there's no such thing. It's like thin enough, you know, you being a ballet dancer is like, that was like a trigger for me growing up. Cause that was my dream. And there was, I couldn't, there's so like, there are like, unless I'm very drunk, like I won't dance because I just feel very embarrassed about how my body looks. No. If you see me dancing, it's because I'm super fucked up. It's not from like a, it's not from a joy filled, like free place.

39:58It's joy filled and free because I'm, you know, inebriated. Oh man. I mean, I get it. I totally relate. Like I, it's interesting. So as you're saying this, I'm like, Oh, I want to come back to that whole like focusing thing. Let me, let me, let me speak on that really quick. And then I want to talk deeply about everything you just said. The focus, you actually have a trait in your chart that, and I always tell people, I'm like, I'm not, this is not medical information. I'm not diagnosing or anything, but it is very, it pops up in people's charts who maybe, maybe, maybe have ADD, ADHD. I do big time.

40:32Yeah. It is, is this whole thing about like focusing. It's almost like distracted, you know, shiny object syndrome and they have a hard time and you, you only have part of this. It's like, there's two sides to it and you've only got the one side and it's actually where this, where the planet Saturn is sitting in your chart. Saturn is like, you know, it's taskmaster. It's going to make things. So it's going to be like a bit more difficult, a little bit more like the personal trainer planet. So you've got that sitting in that particular area. So it's like the ability to focus, you know what I'm saying?

41:05It's like, so again, if you knew that early on, you're like, wow, okay. I'm just kind of predisposed. Like, I don't know to me, like if I were that person, me because I was told I was like, I was told I was done in third grade. And I was, you know, like I had teachers say horrible things to me about my lack of focus. And then I got real jacked up on Adderall in high school. So. Oh my God. Yeah. No. I took a mushroom gummy before we started talking. Cause I'm like, I need to be able to make sure that like, I mean, I'm just so spracked out all the time. Wow. Really hard for me to get stuff done.

41:37Well, I'm like, not to be like, Oh, it's all this, but it's like, you are predisposed to that. You also have outer vision cognition. So it's like seeing things probably is very like, you know, but you want to make, but outer vision is a, is a beautiful gift of like, it's just, everything's aesthetic, like beautiful, pleasing, everything needs to be lovely and all that. So I'm like, there's nothing, I'm always just telling people like, there's nothing wrong with you. We're just, we're being told the wrong things from the outside and then we internalize it. So it's like, so I just wanted to like touch on that.

42:07But as far as the perfection thing goes, or I should say the body image. That is a particular trait in the chart that is actually, I share it. I have it multiple times. And it's one that I, you know, kind of back when I said working in plastic surgery, like if I were in a clinic now, this is a trait that I would look out for in people because it is, I mean, 1000%, it is, it is, she's something else. That's all I will say. It's like when you have this trait, nothing is ever perfect. You could be perfect. It's not going to matter. It's incorrectly used on a personal level when you turn it inward on yourself or when you use it on other people, always seeing basically like everything's always wrong.

42:53There's faults in everything, but that's the truth. Right. And so like the healing of it, I'm, I always am like, okay, she's either a picky bitch or, you know, or I'm like, she's Anna Wintour. It's like, no, she's the editor in chief. Like she has the Midas touch. She knows, you know, I, I, I personify these things. So when I say she, I'm talking about, of course, I do that when I design dresses. I'm like that I call dresses. She, yes, I have names for I have nicknames for all of them and everything, but I'm like, yeah, this is my editor in chief. She actually just knows she's like, no, there's higher standards than that.

43:26Things could be better and seeing it that way. And also the acceptance of kind of, kind of the funny thing with this is like the highest expression of it is perfection, but it's the perfection in understanding nothing will ever be perfect. And I don't know when I learned that I was like, like, nothing's ever perfect. It was so free. Everything to me in the chart is just very freeing. It's like, as soon as I understand myself on that level and why I'm like so evangelical about it and want to share it with everybody. And I'm like, this to me is the key to beauty. It's like, we're all trying to perfect the outside and I have it so strongly in my chart.

43:59You have it when you realize you're doing that. And you know what I mean? You're just so hard on yourself. I've said about this particular trait, I would go, this is something that I feel for myself has kept me from enjoying life in a lot of ways. And instead, looking at it and being like, all right, cool. I just know the lighting might not be perfect here or this might not be or I have a little spot or a little something on my face. Okay, that's okay. you know you're like you're still probably doing better than 99 of people so like just relax yeah totally you know my husband is European and so I always find like being in in Europe it's like there's just not those hang-ups like it's just so different the American neuroticism and I and that's what I try to remind myself too it's like when when I'm super anxious and super crazy you know or anything like that it's like neuroses is not cute no no it's like as soon as you start kind of pull back from that.

44:59And, and you're like, wow, actually being very, I was thinking it's like easy breezy, beautiful, you know, like with yourself and just very natural and. Well, they know how much more attractive that is. And then when you really feel that way, like how much more you're calling into your life, really, you know, completely like David doesn't want to hear me say things about my body in that way, you know, and I have to remember outside of it not being okay because I need to love my body. It's like not an attractive quality in a partner, you know, like he never, he never talks about like, like he played soccer for a long time.

45:37So he has like very strong legs and like very big calves. And he just modeled for a brand in New York and they had him wearing shorts. And we were talking about it last night. He was like, oh man, he's like, I was wearing those shorts, my soccer legs, but it, he wasn't like, oh, I look stupid. he was like, that's what my legs look like. Like, you know what I mean? He was like proud of it. It was, it's like more matter of fact. It's like a description. It's not him speaking poorly about himself. Like he's never spoken poorly about himself in that way, you know? And so it is a very interesting thing when you have a partner, but even if you're just by yourself and you're dating someone, or even if you're single and you're trying to call someone in, it's like, you know, saying those things, like you're going to manifest them in the wrong way.

46:19Exactly. And I think we have to be so careful of how we speak to ourselves. Like you were saying about just going into those not good places. And I mean, that's huge. It's like catching yourself in the moment and actually adjusting how and what you're saying internally, that monologue that just goes on. For myself, that whole leaning to the depression side. And I'll be like, oh my gosh, if something, even if I'm not, it's not a bad thing, sometimes I'll be like, oh, I'm so sad. and I hear it in my head and I'm going, wait, wait, wait. No, I'm not. I just naturally gravitate toward that. And I was in that place for so many years.

46:56So now it's like, no, I'm like, I'm always have a different, different thing going on in my head, different affirmations. It's like, no, everything is always working out for me. You're happy. Things are good. And you have to, it's like, you have to be almost like aggressively, viciously optimistic because this world is just almost, I don't want to say trying to take you down, but there's so many things. It's not an easy place, especially right now. No, it's... Yeah, everything too. Everything. And I think, you know, you're a 2-4 profile. I'm a 4-1, so we share that 4, you know, where it's like, oh, it's just, it's very easy to be around 4s and they make people, they put people at ease and stuff.

47:38But there's like a protectiveness to that of like, Like I need to be around the right people. It's just very important. You know, like you want to, your connections are meant to come through the people that you already know. I always say there's somebody I know, and she made this great comment. She's also a four. And she was like, I only walk through open doors, meaning I only, I only go for things. I only go after things that people I know that want me and people have already kind of like opened that door and created that path for me. And so I really relate to that. And sometimes I think about it.

48:08I'm like, yeah, I want to know that the people that I spend time with or share anything with, they want you too. They care about you. Whereas I think when things get bigger and bigger, sometimes it's a little bit more prone to a lot of outside craziness and a lot of scrutiny. Talk to me more about the protocol that you do with your clients, because it's one thing to be like, okay, well, you have some acne and we need to handle that. And let's fix your skin barrier, but you do, I mean, you work with like sound and affirmations and lots. So like breakdown kind of like if someone was going to work with you, like what are all the different things that you integrate into practice?

48:49So like, you know, help create like that, like external beauty, but what like the rule, you know, in internal form. Yeah. If I were treating somebody like with a traditional facial treatment, you know, I'm very particular. I want to, I want to see their chart because again, I'm going to base things that I'm doing off of that. I work with a brand called little Fox. And so everything is about, it's, it's a sensorial experience where I came from such a clinical background and everything was like only if it works and stuff. And I'm like, Oh my God, no, it's see, it's about treating the body nicely rather than I'm just going to beat you up.

49:29It's always like my mentality. It's like, we're going to blast it off. We're going to rip it off. I was a laser queen, you know, where I'm like no mercy whatsoever. And I'm like, wow, I'm doing that to people. What I do to myself. So now it's like, I'm going to look at somebody's chart, especially if I know what's going on with them, you know, and pick out the correct frequencies to play while, while they're on the table, you know, like the sense it just, everything is so involved. The crystals that I'm going to use, the tuning forks, the singing bowls, literally it's like everything everything and then I am a Reiki master so I'm always like doing energy work through it and I mean even if I'm doing virtual sessions with people because I do auric facials that are like that's that can be done anywhere anytime you know it's like that's an energy treatment but my favorite thing I am a yoga nidra practitioner I did yoga teacher training a million years ago and that was the thing I really gravitated toward people were like oh I I love your voice.

50:26And so I do recorded meditations, but Nidra specifically is something special. It's like, you know, meditation helps you focus. Nidra actually helps you defocus and it puts your brain in a different state than meditation. You go down into Delta, which is the place where your body and everything starts to repair itself. Like you're basically turning your brain off. And so I will record and make these for people, you know, and according to their design, you know? So it's like, you would listen to like a sacral generator one that I have. And it's like, it's basically, it's got frequency layered in the background.

51:00It's got all these amazing affirmations. It's helping you bypass the conscious mind and like get into your, into your cells. But from a skincare perspective, you know, when you're in the Delta state, your body starts to, starts to produce melatonin and DHEA. It decreases inflammation. You go into like a cellular repair mode. And so I personally practice, well, I listen to myself every single night and I have for years, every single night, because I'm like, why would you not do this? This is like, this is repatterning and retraining my brain to very positive things. It's got a healing frequency, you know, in the background.

51:38And then, and then it's like, and then just scientifically they're proving this, you know, like I'm not making it up. No, my functional medicine doctor always talks about this stuff. Yeah. And so I'm like, oh, but anything for me, it's always like regular is not good enough. We have to like make it like super, super, super charged. So I call it energetic beauty sleep. That is my version of them because there's a million things kind of going on within them. And I'll do them for you. There'd be one that'd be like, oh, it's a self-love, self-healing, like your appearance, that relationship that you have.

52:13And I'm not joking. It's like, it's the most passive thing that you can do to like wake up prettier. Absolutely. And yet, you know what I mean? You didn't do anything. You just, you lay down and you just chill out. That's it. And you just listen, follow along. So I would do that on the treatment table as well. And what's really cool. Ancient yogis would say that, you know, it was equivalent to like three to four hours of deep sleep. Science now knows that for sure that it does put you in the Delta state. And so you're like, you come in for a 90 minute facial and you've left feeling like you've slept for four hours.

52:45right? This is like, you know, it's not run of the mill. That's for sure. And then that's the home care, how I kind of talk about my little pharmacy. It's like, these are all the things that I give people. And I'm like, okay, I want you to listen to this every night. And, you know, again, here's your oils and the crystals and the things that I want you doing. And these are the particular affirmations that we're going to use to work on what you have going on. And it's amazing. It's like people wind up feeling more beautiful from the inside out. Again, I will never tell you not to do all the other things because same, you know, like I'm still going to do them.

53:19But it's, but again, it's, I just see that, that need of it needing to come from somewhere. Like I said, it's the cherry on top rather than the source of your self-esteem. And because it's not, it's never going to be, you know, so I'm just very much about like the healing part of it. And only be it, but honestly, it's like, cause I needed this so bad myself. Like I'm my own first, first, you know, case study. That's incredible. So for anybody that's like interested in getting their chart done outside of working for you, it's like, is something that you could like look up online? What's that? To do their, to do their human design chart.

And then your website will like deep dive into like kind of what everything means and where you should go. Yeah. Yeah. And for, with my stuff too, it's like, I have a super extensive podcast. So if I said, okay, Pia, I want you to listen to the gate 43, that's your sun gate. We're really going to work on that. That's like half an hour of basically a reading just strictly on the energy of that. Or, okay, let's talk about that one that I said is so picky and picking itself apart.

Like just hearing everything that you had to say in that. So I love it because I'm like, it's not good enough. It's like, yeah, have a session or something, but it's almost like going to the esthetician. You're like, you had a treatment, but you still have to take care of your skin twice a day. So I need to know that I was very much intentional of like, I got to build that little pharmacy, that little library so that people have something to kind of like continue to carry them through their normal life.
