Global Palace – traveling to another country was very rare in ancient times. It was about getting out of your little village to learn that we're different but we all have similarities.

Do you feel free to travel? What's holding you back? Do you feel stuck in a rut? Do you have a Global perspective on life? Make new friends… stretch yourself culturally. What would a sense of adventure in your life feel like? Thought Quotes: "Travel takes you out of routine and invites you to try new things. The secret to staying young is to not live habitually."

The intention of this meditation is to begin your Alchemy journey and enter the Mystery Gate. To begin Alchemy, you must be willing to enter the dark gate...like parting the veil of mystery. You do not know what lies behind this dark gate, but you are willing to put yourself first and brave the darkness and the unknown...knowing that there will be light at the end of the tunnel, and you will discover what lies behind the gate.

Become limitless. Wealth is a mindset of abundance. The Wealth Palace (also called the Abundance palace) can affect all the palaces. How many decisions a day do you make based on money? Does your happiness depend on how much money you have? Whether you're rich or poor or somewhere in between, the Wealth Palace is a game of mental tug of war. What is your mindset? Stop being handcuffed by money—with either lacking or scarcity feelings–and start to find limitless resources! Wealth can also be about other resources, not just money.

Listen as we have a conversation about the Thirteen Ghost Points and Ghost Market. "It's more than marketing. It's about how you talk about yourself, and how you present yourself to the world." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about: This week's Ghost Point: Ghost market. How you speak about yourself in the world?

Abraham-Hicks tells us to rendezvous with the recipients of your gifts. How to sell your wormy apples. Thought Quotes: "Ghost market is… just huge for people on the path to self-cultivation and awareness. " "We have gifts. The things we are particularly good at in general are these gifts. We have to give them to the world. That's kind of like our responsibility as a human being to the rest of the world. Some of us know what our gifts are and some of us haven't really discovered our full potential yet. We probably have an inclination even if we're not sure." "When you operate under the assumption that every single being on the planet has gift to give… their super power, and there are numerous recipients of that gift that we need to connect with… We need to cross paths with what we're supposed to, who we're supposed to, and if you're open… Guess what?

Understanding the Thirteen Ghost Points is part of the journey and Ghost Convincing is about trusting yourself. "When you're being authentic, it's really about living a life that is you on many different levels…one being, not doubting yourself, not doubting your mission, not doubting your purpose for being here on earth…Trusting that you can and will make the right decisions in your life, and only you can know what they are."

Do you have events, emotions, or feelings lingering from your younger years? How does that impact the way you move through the world today? Are you still carrying the pain? The first of the Thirteen Ghost points is all about what is your authentic door to the world. What are you showing the world? Has trauma changed the way you interface with those around you? Do you have a door with a peep hole and lots of deadbolts, or is your door blown off and letting just anyone or everyone in? Are you hooked into the past? Do you know the way out? "Has life changed the true you? Have you deviated from your true nature? If you have, then the ghost points are about putting it back." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about: The Thirteen Ghost Points – a treatment that releases the skeletons in your closet. Doing the ghost points gives you a clean slate to start Alchemy. You don't get hooked unless you have an opening. Ghost Palace – the first point. It's about how you interface with the world. The door to you – what is your true door? Has trauma changed your door? Your Homework – sit or lie down and vibrate the point for about 20 minutes. The Heart needs to speak – write in your journal or talk to a friend about what comes up. Thought Quotes: "Until you free yourself from these closet skeletons, you can't be that open because you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the other skeleton to pop out." "The heart needs to speak."

Do you love your life? Do you have access to your own heart? Can you spiritually pivot in your life? Listen to our conversations about Leta's Divine DJ, the Thirteen Ghost Points, Alchemy Energetic treatments, Inspired Action, and how to shake things up in your life–perhaps things have been stuck for years and years. "What do you want to release from the past? What are you still carrying around, like an albatross around your neck or a monkey on your back?" By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about: Today's listener question: What is Alchemical energy work? What are the Alchemy treatments like? Alchemical energy work is about transformation that happens organically without effort because it works at the unconscious cellular level. What are Ghost Point treatments? – Unload the trauma of the past and the skeletons in your closet Ling Shu = Spiritual Pivot Nine Stages of Alchemy treatments – uses a vibrational technique with acu-points Music in the treatments – your Divine DJ with 20k songs shuffled Stone medicine, Stibnite and Alchemical elixirs Born Perfect, Leta and Jaye's upcoming book about Alchemy (expected early 2019) Stage Two of Alchemy – releasing the baggage of this lifetime Your Homework: What do you want to release from the past? Thought Quotes: "The Ghost Points – It's not like when you go through therapy and you unlock that door and take it out and you look at it and you process it… the Ghost Points are treatments that help people release trauma on the unconscious level or the cellular level, where it gets stored in your body. While Talk therapy is still really helpful, once it does surface, just getting them to release on that unconscious level is more than half the battle." "I call them Ling Shu treatments which is a Chinese phrase that means "spiritual pivot"…It's a transformational change."

Find out where you fall on the Five Element continuum of yin and yang as we discuss the double-stuff theory. Are you a Picard or a Riker? Are you a sorter or a thinker? "Everything in Chinese Philosophy goes deeper than the surface." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about: The yin and yang of each element – Oreo double stuff. Each meridian of the body has an organ and an element. Yang – more active/doing and processing Yin – more quiet and stores something Body types – Yang types are thinner and bonier; Yin types are a bit fleshier and rounder Every person is on a continuum from yin to yang. Wood Gall Bladder/yang – makes the todo lists and delegates the plans Liver/yin – stores big plans and vision Earth Stomach/yang – hardworking, digesting thoughts and analyzing Spleen/yin – present and listening, philosophical, storing big ideas Metal Colon/yang – talkers, finding the gems in the garbage, recyclers Lungs/yin – holds awareness and being of service Water Bladder/yang – active fast waters, constant motion Kidney/yin – slower waters, holding your ambition Fire Heart/yin – quieter and holds the spirit, supreme controller, the mirror to everyone else's soul Small Intestine/yang – very active processing and sorting, the ear of the heart Heart Protector/yin – more sensitive and vulnerable Triple Heater/yang – more outgoing, loves parties and people Thought Quotes: "The most important part of waste disposal is making sure that nothing good gets thrown away. Kind of like looking for the diamonds in the crap." "If you eat a banana, you're not actually going to digest every part of that banana, in fact very little of it. A lot of it is going to get pooped out….what are the things we can take and utilize …the small intestine is in charge of that." "The heart is your emperor, the master controller of you. And it needs a sidekick. And that sidekick is the small intestine. We like to call it the ear of the heart. It is literally listening to everything around you, constantly evaluating whether it's good or bad… and the small intestine knows the song of the heart." "There's a real difference between holding a vision and having ambition. They sound the same but Waters are open to all possibilities whereas Woods pick a point and heads to it."

Five Element fun: Part 2! The Walks, the talks, the looks, and the smells… we want you to experience it all! Discover how all the elements look in the real world. How do you say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Do your eyes twinkle and flirt? Does your smell tickle everyone's noses. Listen and learn – and then feel them! "When I teach people to feel the Five Element energies in their bodies, they learn them so much faster." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod's interview, we talked about: The Talk – "Talking is just another way that elemental vibration is manifesting through humanity. Think about the difference between between an assertive, commanding voice like an army sergeant directing a squad to do something vs. a hospice nurse asking a patient to move her legs. You simply cannot use the same voice for both of those situations. You have to modulate your voice accordingly, and that would tap into the Five Elements. You just tap into that element." The Eyes Wood – Direct laser beam eyes Fire – Flirty eyes Earth – Big round eyes that envelop you, softer look Metal – Defocused eyes, x-ray vision Water – Cat-slit suspicious eyes or intense big eyes The Smells – If you want to figure out someone's smell, just walk into their bedroom and take a big sniff. Smells have energy. The Wood and Water smells are higher, and the Fire and Earth smells are in the middle like around your head. The metal smell is low, like down by the floor.

"When I teach people to feel the Five Element energies in their bodies, they learn them so much faster." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod's interview, we talked about: The Walks – Wood – "You don't really have hips or knees. It looks like you're marching in a formation. Maybe we will make it cuter. Think of penguins marching. Think of an army of a thousand penguins marching with combat boots. Now that's a visual you won't get anywhere else because penguins like big shoes. And Woods like big shoes." Fire – "You can fake a fire walk by lifting your heels up. If you do it more like helium is lifting you up from the top, then it will look like a real fire walk. In fact, your butt should wiggle a little bit. We call it the butt wiggle, just from the motion of the bounce." Earth – "I want you stick out your buddha belly. I want you to rub that belly, really lovingly, daringly feel how you feel when you put all that energy there. You want to relax, you want to slow down, you want to be grounded… In fact, you know what? Take off your shoes… Earth people love to be barefoot." Metal – "Imagine a string tied to the top of your head, and its holding your head up, and you're dangling from the string like a puppet… Let your hands and your arms feel floppy and loose. Think of Pinocchio on a string, kind of dangling. Lift your head and your nose, like you're a little snooty Pinocchio, and then you try to start to walk, but fluidly, not like its your first day on puppet strings." Water – "Imagine tons of energy in your lower back. Feel it in your kidneys. Imagine you have two Harley Davidson engines in your low back, revving. Vroom vroom, and push your hips forward. Your feet just barely leave the ground. Waters don't scuff their feet, unless they're wearing Uggs, let's remember the Uggs days when it was really hard to tell Waters. We had to make them take off their Uggs."

Are you the one putting limits on yourself? What is your unique perspective on life? How do you move energetically through the world? If you were a plant out in world… what kind of plant would you be? Are you a summer rose, giant oak, honeysuckle, or office cactus? "You're born with an intrinsic nature that gives you own unique perspective on life. It's basically different from many other people you see in the world. Your perspective and your temperament is at work, and so you see things, and say, "I don't like that or I don't do it that way, I like to do it my way." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod's interview, we talked about: Your Intrinsic nature – Everyone has a more yin or more yang nature. Be like Bradley Morra in the movie Limitless minus the pills Being todolist-less Plant energetics – What kind of plant are you? Acorn (water) full of potential, waiting for just the right moment Little sprout (wood) – strong and unstoppable A big beautiful peony flower (fire) – opening up shyly showing its beauty to the world Mother apricot tree (earth) – given the gifts of nourishment to those around you Wandering leaf (metal) – excited to ride a magic carpet ride of life Thought Quotes: "It's inherent in our nature to appreciate the things that are like us and have difficulty with the things that are not like us." "Confucius believed you should work really hard to be a good member of society.

In Stage Two of Alchemy, you become the amulet. Frodo's armor–Even the strongest armor can be pierced! Being impenetrable like Helm's Deep is good for a battle, but not for a human being trying to have a loving and kind, beautiful life. Do you have the Great Wall of China around your heart? If you've built the great wall inside yourself, you're probably stuck inside yourself. This is called the Internal Devils in Chinese Medicine. Be the Tai Chi Master: If someone throws a punch at the Tai Chi Master, the master moves effortlessly out of the line of attack, and the attacker falls on the ground. Think Yoda. Stone Medicine for opening your chest. Rose quartz from Madagascar. Thought Quotes: "Internal Devils is like you have cellophane wrapped around your heart.
