Speaker 1:

In today's episode of Mystical and Infamous, you'll hear a casual, brief post-meditation conversation between some members in the Elevate Me Now group. Members discuss how the group currently impacts their lives, questions that pop up from the day's message and how best to implement the lessons learned in their day-to-day lives do you feel you have succeeded in carrying over this elevated sense of oneness?

Speaker 2:

after we close the session? Anybody, anybody.

Speaker 3:

I'm always up for talking.

Speaker 2:

I know, don't use too many words. No, you're a wonderful addition as far as that's concerned.

Speaker 3:

So I do believe I'm able to carry it over. I also think that this is a tool in the toolbox and that it helps elevate me from where I'm working on my own to get on a daily basis.

Speaker 2:

Good, Okay, that's good, Because I think, if the more sensitive you are to this and not coming down fast and retaining it, it's not a matter of or not, I shouldn't say down fast. It's the consciousness, the focus of the consciousness, and we are perfectly capable of being in an elevated state of consciousness as well as being it's the two feet of both energies, as it were, and this is the goal in essence is to not be so locked into the 3D creation, but see it and feel it and experience it from another level. And you, Andrea.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, that's interesting. You ask that question because I found that it easily slips out of my awareness when we're done with the session. But when we're in the session, I mean I'm still like out in the ethers, like right now.

Speaker 4:

So coming back, yeah, it is like slower when I'm really in the zone, but I felt like an overwhelm from 3D over the weekend and I actually did Qigong like without the video, but I just did what we do and I felt centered again. So I think if I just remember that there's ways to remind myself and do those things, I'm back again, like I'm just like like I got it now, which also reminds me of a question I had when doing Qigong. I noticed we always kind of do similar flow, but when I was doing it on my own, it was out of order and so I was just wondering if there's any no, okay, yeah now, my first reaction to that was you were led to do it that way.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't really matter when I I channel, channel this because I do a routine that's a lot more extensive than this, a lot more things, but when I was picking ones that I thought were appropriate, I was trying to pick them and it came through that this was the order. I had them in different order several times and I kind of changed it before we put it in this order. It just seemed right. So, but no, as long as you're really connecting with them, the exercises, as long as you're remembering to breathe deeply and slowly, remembering to get into the body and feel the oneness and all that stuff, I think it's fine, whatever works.

Speaker 4:

Okay, thank you. Yeah, that felt great, and I also loved what came up today about remembering that you can handle anything from a calm space and so you can calm the nervous system down and things will be cleared. That that's something I'm also working on.

Speaker 2:

We're just getting back to calm even when there's chaos or yeah, you're just at the eye of the storm, as it were. That that's what you have to remember be the eye of the storm. I think we had a message like that a while back. Yeah, indeed, it's your focus. Where is your focus? If your focus is on the chaos, then you're going to be chaotic. If your focus is on being the calm and the centered and the eye of the storm is at work, then it's going to affect. It's going to be, I could say, your butt, or it'll also affect everything around you, and if it doesn't, then that's fine. But at least you are not carried away with it.

Speaker 3:

So, andrea, I have a story for you on that. Yesterday they tested me on this because I've been doing pretty good staying in that that like neutral observer space And're like sweet, we're gonna get his car to break down on him like six times on one drive and see how he does. Um, and I did it. They were actually impressed. They were like, seriously, you just and I looked at him, I'm like you guys can't shake me, like I I'm good, like I am here, I am in the zone and like I'm just going to work through whatever. And then they actually gave me the answer on how to fix it. They're like, okay, you can go home now. And they're like here, do this.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's perfect. I love that testimony. Yeah, that's great, and this is this is what I mean about it changes your life. It gives you more control over what's going on. You can carry it away in emotions or such.

Speaker 3:

And it makes it harder. It makes it harder for you to watch others, and I know our goal is to be the example. But when you watch others and you see what they're doing and you're like, oh my God, you're bringing all of this in, it's hard, and you just sit there and you're just like, okay.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's, yeah, that's where the compassion comes in. Yeah, and you just have the compassion for people and know that that's just their trip. But remember, always remember, this is not real. It's a tough one. Maya is an illusion, and the more you're in the zone, the more you can handle the idea that you have compassion, you have love, that you can't get caught up in the duality that causes the suffering easy to say yeah hard to do I had a fun one the other morning.

Speaker 3:

I woke up and it was like my body was foreign and I was just like oh, I'm back in this body again this dense energy oh my god, okay, let's do it I do that every morning, like you open your eyes and go oh, I'm still here.

Speaker 2:

Right, yeah, that was a great little big man. It was a Dustin Hoffman movie. It was great. I think I've told this story before, but he was a white man, sold by the Indians, brought up and then went back and forth. But his grandfather you know, he was out on the plains and the grandfather he goes, grandfather, you're dying. No, don't worry, my son, I'm going to whatever he said and he closed his eyes and it's all. It's all sad. And all of a sudden raindrops on the guy's face and he went, blinked, he went.

Speaker 1:

I'm still here Ew.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, you have to put again it's perspective. Put this life in the proper perspective and don't get caught up in it.
