A Waking Moment

Why do we feel guilty? What is Guilt? Guilt Definition: (Noun) The fact of having committed a specified or implied offense or crime. The question is – did you “intend to cause harm?” If so, then guilt is the appropriate feeling. If not, then guilty is not the correct emotion! Similar to “I am Sorry.” Definition: (Adjective) Feeling regret or penitence. We say ‘sorry’ all the time. Listen for the word in everyday conversation. I’m sure you know someone that says sorry before starting a sentence. I’ve even experienced people saying sorry for everything they say or do if those around them show any sign of upset, confusion or distress.

Consider the possibilities of your choices and actions if failure didn't exist.

Episode 19: The Root Chakra The root chakra is the center that supports you in feeling safe, connected, grounded, and survival/self-preservation. It is the base of the chakra system. When you are out of balance and feel like you need to control, hoard and isolate. You often can feel anxious, depressed and insecure. From a perspective on energy and spirituality, the Root Chakra helps us feel like we belong and adds and sustains life force. We are energy in matter (our human body), so connecting with our physical self and honoring our connection to the Earth as well as the cycle and rhythm of life is critical. Caring for our primal needs like food, water, and shelter adds to our connection to life, and without them, the result can be death.

I am connected to my body. I feel safe and secure. Just like a tree or a star, I have a right to be here. I stand for my values, for truth, and for justice. I have what I need. I am grounded, stable, and standing on my own two feet. I nurture my body with healthy food, clean water, exercise, relaxation, and connection with nature. I am open to possibilities. I am grateful for all the challenges that helped me to grow and transform. I trust in the goodness of life. I make choice that are healthy and good for me. I trust myself. I love life.

Let's share our gratitude and step out of our comfort zone to let people know how much we appreciate them.

Clearing, Purifying and Protection Smoke, ever the silent companion to fire, symbolizes transformation, mystery, and the unseen. An ancient and elusive element, Smoke has been an intrinsic component of ritual practice across many cultures for centuries. The smoke ceremony is an ancient spiritual and energetic cleansing technique that uses some fragrant herbs and flowers as incense—such as sage, lavender, rosemary, roses, and many more— in order to purify the energy of a space or the energy within you. This practice dates from ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece. Japan: The fragrant woods agarwood and sandalwood are the main ingredients used in Japanese incense. Agarwood is produced in certain parts of southeast Asia such as Vietnam. Japanese incense companies divide agarwood into six categories depending on the region obtained and properties of the agarwood. “Incenses” were a part of a set of Buddhist teachings such as the scriptures, statues, and prayers. They were introduced as a means of purifying sins of this world with fragrance by carving and burning the aromatic woods. “Incenses” have been used for prayer from ancient times to present day. Quote: “For if the light in our soul goes out so does the sweet smoke of sacrifice in our hearts.” Ben Ewing Guest Podcast Visitor Sunnie Brown (About): Sunnie Brown's career journey began as a Massage Therapist in Southern California 20 years ago.

In my episode, I mentioned that the tone for the heart chakra is LAM. As I did more Google searching, I could be wrong, but I’m okay with that. Whether it’s LAM or YAM, the toning experience still increases vibration and raises your frequency. Here’s a recording that includes 7 tones for the chakras. They are not the ones I use, but I still very much enjoyed the chanting. https://youtu.be/70nYK8ubK18?si=A7WoaVRv9eS1DS9M Heart Chakra Blog: https://www.holaamorco.com/blog Chakra Summary PDF: https://90475887-9ed6-4a31-8c32-d6a69e90a1e4.usrfiles.com/ugd/904758_df9de98e26804adabb445ff6416adad3.pdf Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro – Heart Chakra 6:08 The Heart Chakra and Self-Love 12:14 Affirmations for the Heart Chakra 21:01 Practices for Nurturing the Heart Chakra 23:18 – The Heart Room – Practice 1 25:49 – Inviting in the Divine Holy Mother – Practice 2 29:47 – The Heart Tone LAM – Practice 3 33:13 A green light blessing Contact Dani: Instagram: @a_waking_moment Instagram: @danip0905 Website: www.awakingmoment.com email: [email protected] #awakingmoment #healingmoment #innertruth #courageousmoment #bravemoments #reclaimyourtruth #sparktruth #routines #honoringdesire #healing #transformation #WhatIf #Signs #newrealities #itsnevertoolate #heartchakra

In lieu of a spark question of the week, here is a short message to remind you of how loved and seen you are. Stay close to your heart, give yourself what you most need and try not to react but respond with love, compassion and grace. Be the light—you are the light!

I share a few thoughts about how I would answer and ask you to ponder how and why you answer this question the way you do.

Episode 15: What If? If/Then Scenarios Summary: A few years ago, I discovered a new Broadway play musical in it's called if/then. I'll provide a link to the musical down below in case you want to check it out. So, this week's episode is about that potential possibility of if something happens then what? And the what if game can be very powerful. And I wasn't going to do this topic this week, but I've noticed that as I listened to the music again, I've been singing the songs randomly and it brought my attention and awareness back to this potential scenario. Do you believe in science? This is part of the what if possibility. I do believe in science obviously I've done episodes on Angel numbers and nudges and trusting your inner truth. So I'll share a story about a little bit about my life. What if I had never moved from Minnesota? It wasn't my choice. And I often wonder what if I had stayed. Would I have discovered my love of travel? Would I have at such a young age felt such loss and grief? And what is the impact of that deep awareness of loss and how has it shaped my life? If I had never left Minnesota, I would have never met the people in New Mexico or the people in Independence OR. Maybe I would have never left that small town in Minnesota. Would I have gone to university in state? Would I still have had an interest in Japan? What I've studied abroad? What if I had never done that, I would have never met all those people! Hopefully you can see that each choice along the journey impacts the next choice and impacts the people in your life then and now. In this episode, I discuss the what-ifs in our lives and the signs and nudges that encourage us to move in one direction, even though it doesn't make sense. Maybe I'm giving a little bit too much away, but it's never too late to make that next choice and ponder the next what-if! Resources: If/Then Musical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If/Then What If Questions: (found on Google) • What if you had superpowers? • What if I moved away? • What if I suddenly disappeared without notice? • What if you hated my boyfriend or girlfriend? • What if you could find out every person who has ever had a crush on you? • What if we could communicate telepathically? From Quora, Anita Bonita posted: That they have either a pragmatic or dogmatic thought process. Usually the ladder. For example scientists use what if questions to form a hypothesis and conduct test. A more nuanced approach may be a form of overthinking, visualizing worse case scenarios, dwelling on the past, or worrying about the future. People who ask or think about what if scenarios are curious individuals. They like to test limits and experiment. This can lead to change for better or worse. What if Questions: https://www.mantelligence.com/what-if-questions/ 1. What if you could live for 200 years? 2. What if you could be an animal? 3. What if money can buy happiness? 4. What if there is no electricity for a year in your place? 5. What if we found live dinosaurs living on a remote island? 6. What if you were the President of the United States? 7. What if you woke up and discovered you were the only person on earth? 8. What if you had a money tree growing in your backyard? 9. What if you could marry someone famous, either living or dead? 10. What if you could change one thing about yourself? What would you change?

I share some ideas to support ourselves during the next few months. How can you prepare now?

Obviously, the answer is yes. Most of cry at some point in our lives. As I thought about this question, I reflected on my journey related to when and how I cry. There is the polite tear or two. The sobbing, snot running out of our nose cry The stream of tears you can’t stop The surprise cry – didn’t expect it And several others… When I cry is interesting. Over the years, I’ve learned to trust my body and honor it’s need to “overflow” emotion, so I let her cry when she needs/wants to. BUT for years, I suppressed the tears and would only let them out when I felt safe or when it was appropriate. So, do you cry… In public In the car In front of others At commercials or movies or TV shows When someone else starts to cry OR is there a stream of consciousness that says Don’t cry – it’s not safe Don’t cry or you’ll be seen as overly emotional. Don’t cry because boys don’t cry Don’t cry because it will embarrass us, our mom or dad or friend. Don’t cry because you’re ugly when you cry Don’t cry because it’s too vulnerable Wherever you are on this spectrum of crying, today’s spark question is asking that you take a look at when and why you cry. If you discover other people’s voices stuck in your thoughts – cast them out! Command that these thoughts/beliefs no longer have a place in your mind. If you discover that it’s scary to cry, to express vulnerability and deep emotion then be kind, compassionate and sit in the awareness. Let your inner truth speak and see if you can uncover the truth and allow it a space within you. Crying is a natural expression of the body. Tears help remove things (dust, eyelash) from our eyes. Could tears also be a way to remove energy or stuckness from our body?

In this episode, I share and explore the concept of The Goddess and why it's important for EVERYONE to embrace The Goddess Energy. For more information on the Divine Feminine, please watch Episode 4 with Tiffany Van Goey. https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/mLrnaOuXGNb Summary The Goddess is an American drama film from 1958 directed by John Cromwell and starring Kim Stanley and Lloyd Bridges. That’s not the topic of this episode. I must admit, I’ve never researched this topic. It’s all been personal remembrance and experience. I learned a lot and now I understand why I was nudged to explore this topic with you. It got a bit overwhelming and confusing as my head spun with so many insights, perspectives. We all have feminine and masculine energy within us. Left – feminine – receiving Right – masculine – releasing Yin and yang is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes two opposing forces that are interconnected and complementary. Going one step further, it’s similar to Light and Dark – One cannot exist without the other.

Happy New Moon in Libra! It's time to consider what it means to rest for you? Hint: Relaxing is not the same as rest.

Let's ponder the concept and belief of hard. Can we learn to reframe it?

Summary There is a practice or study of numbers. It’s called numerology. Have you had the experience of seeing the same number over and over again? Or do you believe the number (day) of your birth is a lucky number for you? Do numbers speak to you and add significance to your life or a question you ponder? Time Stamps 0:00 Intro to Numbers/Numerology 2:56 Personal Experiences with Numbers 8:31 Significance of Master Numbers 15:47 Exploring Master Numbers 11, 22, 33 21:27 Conclusion and Invitation to Explore Numbers Resources: Joanne Sacred Scribes: https://sacredscribesangelnumbers.blogspot.com/p/index-numbers.html Numerology + Astrology: https://astrala.com/numerology Numerology.com: https://www.numerology.com/articles/about-numerology/master-numbers/ Master Numbers 11, 22, 33 from Joanne’s website: The karmic Master Number 11 symbolizes the principles of spiritual awakening and enlightenment, high energy, idealism, inspiration and intuition, illumination, visionary, enthusiasm, creative/creativity, self-expression and sensitivity, and mysticism. Number 11 tells us that to connect with our higher-selves is to know and live our soul mission and life purpose. Master Number 11 is usually called 'the Illuminator', 'the Messenger' or 'the Teacher' and relates to those who are here to be inspirational guiding lights, and their mission is to bring illumination to others and to help raise spiritual awareness. Number 22 brings the attributes of number 2 appearing twice, amplifying its influences. Number 2 relates to your Divine life purpose and soul mission, duality and balance, partnership and relationships, diplomacy and adaptability, insight, sensitivity and selflessness. Master Number 22 carries the energies and attributes of diplomacy, intuition and emotion, balance and harmony, adaptability, diplomacy, personal power, redemption, idealism, expansion and evolution, idealism, philanthropy and service and duty and manifesting your highest ideals and desires. Number 22 is a number of power and accomplishment. Number 33 is made up of the vibrations of the number 3 appearing twice, amplifying and magnifying its influences. Number 3 relates to the attributes of expansion and the principles of increase, spontaneity, broad-minded thinking, encouragement, assistance, talent and skills, self-expression and communication, manifesting and manifestation. Number 3 also resonates with the energies of the Ascended Masters, and indicates that the Ascended Masters are around you, assisting when asked. They are helping you to find peace, clarity and love within. The Ascended Masters help you to focus on the Divine spark within yourself and others, and assist with manifesting your desires. Number 33 is a Master Number (Master Teacher) and resonates with the energies of compassion, blessings, inspiration, honesty, discipline, bravery and courage. Number 33 tells us that ‘all things are possible’. 33 is also the number that symbolizes ‘guidance’. The Master Number 33 is connected to the Ascended Masters, and the repeating Angel Number 33 is a message that many Ascended Masters surround you and are offering their assistance. All you need to do is ask, as the Ascended Masters are waiting to answer your prayers.

I hope this question makes you ponder and maybe shift how you enable/allow yourself to feel joy. Feeling joy is important as it increases your vibration and will allow you to have more life force.

This week, I ask you to ponder where you are on living in your truth. I've been asking myself this question, and I realized it's more about balance than anything else. Are you living from your mind/logic, trusting your body, or ignoring your body and living in the energetic/spiritual world? I've done all of them, and lately, I've realized that I am embodying my energy into my body and learning to live from the deep wisdom my body offers me.

Episode 7: Reiki – Universal Life Force Energy Reiki is a Japanese word and practice that supports us in reducing stress, calming anxiety and adds to our life force. I share my personal experience and the ways that Reiki has supported me and changed my life. It’s been 29 years since I first received my Reiki 1 attunement and 20 years of being a Reiki Master and Teacher. The beautiful reality is that everyone can learn how to tap into this energy. I believe we all have it already. The devoted practitioner is present with the energy and understand what means to be a channel for another. Reiki is passed on through three attunements given by a Reiki Master and Teacher. There are many schools or lineages of Reiki but the original is the Usui System of Reiki Healing.

Episode 6: Daily routine and why it’s so important Do you have a routine? Do you want a routine? In this episode, I share what has worked for me as I am in transition from a regular full-time job to a self-employed woman. My days are more flexible, and I can waste time watching TV when I really want to explore topics and opportunities and meet up with people. I’ve written up some key takeaways from this episode below. I hope you start to ponder if you need a routine. If you already have one, is it working for you? Routines give us: Balance Strength Adds ease to our life Helps us stay true to our commitments and goals Does a routine have to scheduled out by the hour? No, you can create chunks of time or maybe only have a morning or evening routine. Does it need to be written down? Yes – use colors, print or create posters Should you post it in various locations? Yes – more the better. Set up reminders – calendar, watch, alarms, sticky notes Time Stamps 0:00 – Intro and the Importance of Routines 4:14 – Creating a Flexible and Realistic Routine 8:08 – Documenting your Routine 17:18 – Building Trust with Self-Commitments 21:08 – Being Kind and Gentle with Yourself A new habit takes 28 days – that’s the old saying. In actuality – it’s very dependent on the complexity of the habit and the person. Anywhere from 18 – 256 days; on average 66 days.

July 22nd is Mary Magdalene's feast day. It's a day when many people review and honor the sacred feminine within. All people have energy that is more masculine or feminine in its expression. Masculine might be action or focus, and Feminine might be nurturing or comforting. I share a little information and then ask you to take a moment to honor yourself and acknowledge all that you are. I then move into a very big topic—what is your purpose? I offer some insights and share personal stories to give you some examples about living your purpose. We are all on a journey of self-discovery to honor what lights us up, lifts our spirits, and trust our inner knowing.
