Sense of Soul - Community of Vetted Spiritual Practitioners - Orykl

Episode Date: November 30, 2024

Today on Sense of Soul we have Huenu Solsona she is a spiritual seeker, mother, entrepreneur, and co founder of Orykl, the world’s first digital platform connecting you to vetted spiritual practitioners.  In 2009, Huenu’s brother, Pablo, died in a microlight accident. This loss shook her to the core, leaving an indelible mark on her soul. It was a moment that shattered her world, yet amidst the pain and grief, it sparked a spiritual journey that she is undoubtedly grateful for, and that equipped her with the power to manifest her dreams - making Huenu who she is today. Orykl came to Huenu during a meditation session - a "divine download" sent from a higher consciousness, if you will. The spiritual practitioners whose insights I adored often struggled to turn their passions into profitable careers. With a background in launching successful business ventures, I understood these struggles, and was compelled to create a marketplace for them – a platform allowing everyone access to gifted individuals.  Huenu invites you to join her on your own transformative journey through Orykl. With the expertise of their healers and therapists, you too can unlock the power of spirituality. It is her dream that everyone who engages in our community walks away with a genuine soul connection to the universe, and to each other. Together, igniting profound change, driving a ripple effect that touches every corner of our world.  Visit www.orkyl.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

She is an entrepreneur and the co-founder of Oracle. Oracle's mission is to raise the earth's collective consciousness, a community that is built on honesty, benevolence, community, and spirit. Oracle offers a directory of vetted spiritual practitioners, a trusted place for clients seeking healing and guidance. And she's with us today to tell us how you can connect

with your perfect practitioner. So please welcome Winu. How are you? I'm great. How are you? I'm good. Such a loaded question nowadays. How are you i'm good such a loaded question nowadays how are you know yeah so oracle i love that vetting your practitioners is an important part and because i believe that i have run into more people than i'd ever hope where people are telling them some real BS. It is so important, especially in this industry that you don't need to go to university for four years and, or get your master's or PhD, you know, almost anybody in most of the modalities that we work with could say that they are, you know, a healer.

Because a lot of these people sort of naturally have these gifts. And of course, you know, they work on themselves. So they study further, they educate themselves, so they practice daily. But still, at the end of the day, anybody could say that they do this and have a beautiful website and charge people for it. So for us, our main purpose is to really help people and to make a difference to really increase or raise the

human consciousness. And that is our purpose. And money, of course, this is a business will come, but that's very much secondary to me. And so for me, it's super important that everybody that's on Oracle is the real deal, that they can actually deliver what they say that they're going to do. And for that, you just need to have a vetting process, a good vetting process. Really hoping that people can feel a little bit more relaxed about booking a session with somebody who they can just feel like, okay, cool. I can trust this. I can trust this person.

I know that they are from Oracle. And, of course, everybody does get rated when they have a session through Oracle. We've just taken that down on the website. But when we reopen the sessions and you can have a session on Oracle, of course, everybody gets rated too. And if anybody falls below a certain level, they're out of the platform as well. So we don't just bid them at the beginning, but it's a continuous thing to ensure quality. That's so good. And when actually I've had this experience and I've actually talked to some psychics who have said there were times in their own journeys where they weren't receiving, right? Like things were going on in their lives and it kind of shut down and they couldn't turn it on like they usually did. And you have to be honest about that and take a break.

I've heard them take a break, you know, and then return back into it. We are human too. Because, you know, doing this kind of work, it's so important that the person that's doing the service is very aligned themselves. You need to be connected to the divine part of you. And that connection is strong when your life is going okay, when you don't have so many layers in front of you that are blocking you or that are keeping your mind very occupied with a problem and you're are blocking you or that are keeping your mind very occupied with a problem and you're anxious about this and that when your mind takes over and your emotions take over

they don't allow that or they just kind of shadow that connection that you've got with with source and so it is it so it's very common like you, when somebody is going through a hardship in their life and, you know, things happen to everybody for all kinds of reasons. So that's very honorable. And I think it's wonderful of a practitioner to say, look, you know, I'm going through a lot right now. I don't feel like I'm being a clear channel here and I'm not being, you know, the best practitioner that I can. So I need to take a break. And so that is why it's also so important for these practitioners to have a daily practice to work on themselves, right? It's really important. I agree. Yeah. There was a time when my dad passed. I mean, I had to take a month off because I was in so much grief that it was unhealthy for me even to work with someone else. I mean, it was,

I was not even honoring my own grief by putting it aside, you know, and I wasn't really focused as I should have been for those clients. So that's when I said, I know I can't, I have to take some time. Yeah. Well, that's great that you did that and you were honest with people and yourself, right? Yeah. Yeah. So you're not a channel. Kind of am, but I don't say that I am at all.

Okay. Through work with so many channelers, I mean, there's techniques, right? And so I do practice it, but I wouldn't do it for somebody else. I just kind of do it for myself. And I don't say I am. I would never claim myself to be a channeler or a medium. I don't like know how to turn it on and not. Well, maybe I could, but I don't, I've never even really tried to sit across from someone and say, let me connect, you know, with your loved one or anything like that. But in my own way, and I've had, you know, many psychics say, but you are psychic, you do connect. But usually it's just for me, or for the collective, never somebody individually. Yeah, I'm exactly the same. Well, look, this idea actually came to me in meditation,

and it was an absolute download. I remember it as if it was, yes, it was actually a long time ago. I was thinking about selling my business. Well, I knew I was going to sell my business that I had. And that really put out the intention that my next business had to be to help on a global scale. I really wanted to have a big impact and I wanted to help, you know, the world,

animals, I love animals. Just, I'd be doing a lot of work on the spiritual, gosh, on every discipline, but I'd be listening to a lot of channeled material, obviously meditating, yoga, all kinds of things and i just felt like it probably would be around that area somehow but i was just sitting in meditation and the idea to do this online platform and it was for vetted channelers now we've expanded to other modalities as well this just came to me and i was and I remember even the word the the name oracle came

to me the like oh that you see on the home page that picture and so I just started writing it down and that was a form of channeling right um yeah this this whole idea so yeah that's kind of like the divine intervention you can call it I guess I love that you know I'm that type of person it seems like you are too like if I can't find something that I like I'll make it yeah I'm a go-getter I'm an entrepreneur and I'm a business owner and I'm like you know what they say if you want something done give it to a busy person. Like that's me. I'll get it. That's so funny. Me too. I'm definitely that person. And you know, I feel like my brain's always like on this hamster wheel of ideas too. And so I'm like, okay, you're going to have to be next. You know, there's like all these things always coming in that needs to be done.

But I am like that even like from, if I have this vision of like a dress or something and I can't find it I'll make it curtains you know anything I see it if I and then I look for it you know I look for it so this is what I want right and you wanted a safe place to go and and most of us do and I think it's really beautiful that you followed this call. How were you receiving? I mean, a lot of the things that how I receive is through dreams or through synchronicity that leads me. Or like how you said you saw the word Oracle. You know, I mean, I saw a sense of soul.

And then it was like my co-host at the time saw it like on a truck. And then it was like on the shampoo bottle I mean it was ridiculous you know there was this validation of synchronicity that we followed yeah well look for me I do a lot of meditation at night and I'll open the laptop because I type pretty fast my eyes closed and I just sit there after a while, I might get the urge, it is channeling, you know, I might get the urge. And I really wait for it to be pretty strong, because I go, no, that could possibly be me, you know, until I get like, no, type this. And I try not to think at all. Like sometimes if I start thinking, I go, well, this doesn't make sense. And I go, no go no no just forget

about it just don't even worry about if it makes sense or not because I'm so not thinking back or forth I'm so present I would say that I don't even know what I'm going to write next and I just go well it's just for me so who cares just write and then when I read it afterwards, I promise you it makes perfect sense. No, no, nothing. I mean, there's no word to change, which is amazing. So I do that quite a lot. And sometimes I can do it with like, if I have an issue or problem, I kind of ask and I say, okay, I'm having this issue. How, just help me. And I'm just going to meditate and let something come and if nothing

comes nothing comes usually if I ask it it comes though um and I see the number 33 a ton of times a day yeah I mean it's pretty crazy and I see it funny enough it's not always like this but almost always when I'm very aligned myself when I've I just feel on the flow you know when I just or I've had a good phone call or something today I must have seen it like at least twice that I can remember and I don't have my phone on me you know like it's always upside down so I literally pick up the phone like maybe once an hour and it's like 33 so for me that's that's beautiful 33 means we're divinely guided I don't follow too much numerology but I just know that because I've seen it so many times so that's very

nice for me it's like okay cool thank you you're there how did you grow up did you have a religious background um so I grew up in Argentina in a small town in Patagonia. And I we didn't grow up very religious, even though in general and people in Argentina are religious, you know, less and less. So with the passing years, but my grandmother was super religious on my dad's side. So much so that my dad absolutely rebelled against this because she was like really and uh he became a scientist and he became so against religion like proper like if i cannot see it for now it's very interesting because he's so he only saw religion and then he became a scientist and he really doesn't like religion not that he you know he's like whatever but he just thinks it's he really doesn't like religion. Not that he, you know, he's like whatever, but he just thinks it's all BS on the religion side.

But now that I'm very spiritual, my dad can't understand the difference sometimes. So I've explained this multiple times. So he still, there's some part of him that thinks this is kind of religious, like, and I, you know, more like organized religion, which, you know, he doesn't like. But we've had very interesting conversations. And I love having my dad

because I'm also somebody that's kind of scientifically minded. Like, it's not to say that I need to see proof of everything, but I need to feel things that need to feel true to me. And I need to be able to explain them and understand them. You know, I'm not going to believe something just me and I need to be able to explain them and understand

them. You know, I'm not going to believe something just because somebody tells me to believe it. And so I've taken, I think my dad's like scientific brain, I suppose, and put it towards this very spiritual industry that can't always be explained very easily right but we have amazing discussions and i'm happy to say that my dad's been pretty open of late to the supernatural and and my dad and my mom because my so my brother passed away in 2009 so he was 37 you you know, I was 32. So for me, that was the start of my real spiritual path, right? Because when he died, we were like super close. I was immediately, you know, I wanted to find out where he was, if I could talk to him, what happens when you die.

And I started reading a lot of books about life after death, which I actually found so fascinating. I mean, obviously, they gave me a lot of peace and I could reading a lot of books about life after death which I actually found so fascinating I mean obviously they gave me a lot of peace and I could understand this and I was like oh wow is this how it is and I just kept reading and reading and then I got into meditation and yoga and all kinds of things you know uh channeling and I loved it to me of course it helped me a ton with my brother but also it just got interesting and I just found that more interesting than like the day-to-day stuff and so I was always since 2009 very much with one foot on the spiritual side and other foot on earth you know because sometimes it can

get too much and you're like who just like you know you can also talk about the weather every now and again you know and what happened I was in like deep 24 7 um but yeah so that's my and my parents were always very you know allowing of me to explore and you know I've done I'm an entrepreneur as I said so I've done different many different businesses and they trust me and so when I told them about this my mom was on board my dad was like this is crazy but it's funny because I trust you so like you know yeah that's so sweet that's nice and supportive I love that science and spirituality seem to have like this marriage. Actually, one time I had on Eben Alexander, and he actually said that he wrote the book Proof of Heaven. And he said that they

are and he's a neuroscientist who probably much like your dad, you know, had just the scientific brain, who had his own near death experience, you know, and experienced that world. And, you know, I think that that's what it's about. You said, I'm done with believing, you know, what everyone has told me to believe, I'm going to experience it. And that's what started my journey. And, you know, grief often starts a lot of people's spiritual journey as well a lot grief of the loss of somebody or just your own deep suffering and depression sometimes illnesses accidents just your life you know there's so many like the people that i work with i would say that 80 of them have had had something or 75 i had something really bad you know happened in their

life that was the catalyst for this and the other 20 30 percent would be like these naturals like they've always been open and in fact they've tried to shut it down and eventually just like it couldn't anymore as a child i look I look back and see, you know, I think most children are kind of coming to this world, you know, very raw. The less ego you have, the more connected you are and you're more present. And so you're able to kind of live in this world of imagination, which I thought was silly imagination, literally, but you know, how much of it could have really been truly just you're in another dimension, you know.

Exactly. Yes. One of my best friend's daughter, she's not religious at all, my friend. Okay. But her daughter sees fairies and speaks to fairies every day. And, you know, my friend, I said to to her go and speak to a channeler and see what he says and he was like super helpful to my friend you know she's having an experience this girl and a lot of kids because they've just come from spirit and also we're getting a lot of star

seeds here on earth you know people that have had lives in many other places and they're very connected and so they're able to like you say you know experience and that have had lives in many other places and they're very connected. And so they're able to, like you say, you know, experience and see and feel different dimensions. It's just so much more than our senses can pick up, right? Right. I agree. You know, it's amazing. Dolores Cannon often comes up, you know, in her book, The Three Waves of the Starseeds. But no one's quite wrote a new one of that. You know what I mean? Well, actually, Carrie Hummingbird did write The Second Wave, but I'm just saying there is a huge difference. I have kids from different generations. So I look at them and I'm like, whoa, these younger generations, especially Gen Alpha, they are

coming into the world talking to fairies. And they're not shut down as quickly, right? Your friend has you to keep her open and to, you know, nurture that gift. It's amazing. Daryl Anka came on a few months ago, and he had told me that's because they're not the same as us. They're not even the same species, says as us yeah and you know that's why there's so many people on earth as well right now we're going through this massive awakening and lots it's very exciting here on earth getting a lot of souls from all over to help us and to be here for that experience i've got two young kids. Nothing has happened yet, but it's probably because I

watched them like, yep, buckle up. It's pretty amazing. I feel like this is such a interesting time to be alive. I say interesting because I didn't know if I should say wonderful or not wonderful because it's like there is this polarity, even in the energy day to day. There's so much good and so much bad. And it's hard to sometimes even feel so happy about something when you know people are suffering around the world. And you just have to be very vigilant right now. And I feel aware. And I'm very affected by the solar storms. So it's been something I've been trying to really align with and not see it as I'm trying. My mind wants to see it as negative.

My body also, though, is affected because I could totally mistake this for anxiety. So that's super interesting um i had a an ex-boyfriend just reminded me of him that he he went a little crazy when there was a full moon like he was just all over the show so i i i've never had that um so i can't relate in that sense you know and i think that i now i'm a lot more in tune with my body but throughout my life i've just been like i exercise a lot and uh i didn't notice the subtleties people would say oh i tried this and i felt that and i was like so i'm i i can't relate in that sense but i think we're all becoming especially the empaths maybe like yourself all become so sensitive right we can we can pick up

energies easier i mean that's just you know just tells you that you are picking up and and it's actually feeling it in your body right so what to do i don't know i think talking about is always great yeah and leaning on people because even if we understand what's going on and even if we are you know awake whatever you want to call it there's always something to learn and there's always anyone just share you know talking about it always helps whether it's spiritual stuff or like normal stuff yeah it's my favorite favorite thing in the world now to be curious and be a student you know and learn something new that i've never seen before you you know, that's been hidden in plain sight, basically. But, you know, like your ex-boyfriend, you know, the word lunatic, you know, comes from

Luna, you know, into the full moon. I never thought of that. Yeah, because it is a true statement. So, and I feel really energetic and revived on a full moon. Some people feel that on the new moon. So it's so interesting how sometimes even we feel differently about it. But yeah, be curious. And that was huge for me because then at least I was aware and I understood what this energy was. Then I couldn't blame it on anxiety or something else because it very much feels like that energy is so right now, right this moment.

I wouldn't doubt if there's an actual solar storm right now that is hitting Earth that I'm experiencing. And over the years, being so familiar now with it, and it's so funny when people started to see the Northern Lights and the South, which is not right, became headline news where I had been already concerned about it for a long time. But yeah, so there's so many things that I feel like are affecting us that we're even unaware of. And actually, one of the things I noticed, the reason why I brought that whole thing up is all the clocks in my house are two minutes off today. Really? Yeah. It's just very interesting. This morning is a weird morning for me. Yeah. Yeah. So what do you do when you feel that way? Like, do you ground yourself? I have to. I'm going to, I have to, I didn't have time to really this morning. I did go outside with my dogs, but quick.

And that's why I looked at the clock when I came back in, but it's something that I'm going to have to do. Yeah. I'm going to have to go put my feet. Yeah. Bring myself back. Cause I feel so much energy inside of me right now. You know, I mean, I like to use it for the good too.

So that's another thing. I mean, I've learned through a lot of my study that I think that a lot of the practices today have been known by the ancients in many cultures and have somehow been taken by secret societies or powers of be however you see it and have used this um these practices for manifesting or healing even yeah you know i think that i sometimes struggle with explaining that because when you understand how the world works or who you are and how you can create the life that you want it usually that comes from a very loving space and from a place of of wanting to like be the change you want to see in the world and so it should have a positive rippling effect and so when people say that there's you know something that people knew that others didn't but they did it in order to take advantage of these other people and it's not the same knowledge we're talking about because what

would we share what certainly what i believe and what i share is um sure working on yourself first and that could be described as you know kind of new knowledge you know something that's not out there but we can by changing ourselves we can change everything around us right but that should be like something really good for the rest as well it should put other people down right or hurt them some way so i think there's been many secrets you know good and bad and there's been some bad ones that i don't know if they benefited the ones keeping the secret either you know because when you like hurt others you really hurt yourself ultimately so yeah i don't know how to marry that very well well what i find is just that a lot of the things that are coming to the surface now are not new and i love how people will say they're new age

it's like this is not new this was taught in hermetics or you know in even further back even than that and it just blows me away how many of the things that we're receiving today and many psychics are receiving in many mediums and even healers so when you open yourself up there's like this wisdom this information and it's like everywhere and if someone can grab it it's not new it's definitely not new it's always been sure very true first thing to talk about the concept of no time because for us to understand with our very linear you know 3d mind yeah but you could say also well there is no time it's always been there you know the knowledge is there it's just whether you tap into it or not but it just can't come and go it's not on a conveyor belt you know that you missed it it's just it's always been

there right and always it's so true and sometimes it just it marvels me because I'm like I'll have a whole experience of it because a lot of what I you know receive is through experience and then I'll read it and they wrote my experience I think that experience and learning how to trust your body and discernment has been my number one thing because no one ever told me to trust my body. You know, that was something that I had to learn on my own. Yeah. Well, yeah, the body is just so important. Funny enough, a channel, I actually had a chat with him the other day and he was just talking about, you know, body first, because your body is telling you so many things. You should sleep more.

You should eat the right foods. It's telling you constantly, right? You should rest. when we actually listen to the body and we sleep more and we rest and we eat better, we obviously feel a lot better and we can connect with our souls a lot better. And our whole day just goes a lot better. And so body first, I mean, we're having this physical experience, right? The physical experience is like the end. It's like, you you know the end of everything that comes behind and so if at the end your body's telling you something and you do it you will you'll go back to that connection um i'm more and more uh take like listening to my body and for example now I work out of a gym and there's a co-working space there as well so I work there I eat there because they have the most healthy restaurant

you've ever seen and it's like they have a sauna and the whole the whole shebang there it's pretty cool um but I don't before I used to see that as oh my gosh okay I'm doing something for myself and I'm kind of wasting time. I should be working, but I'm going to go for a run. And I felt like I wasn't marrying the two. I was like, work, I should work. I should do all these things. And this was just me time that I shouldn't be having.

But now I realize that honestly, because I'm seeing it. Wow. The more I take care of myself, the better the quality of my work, the more I flow, just everything's easier. Right. And so it's like, well, I mean, it just makes business sense to take care of myself. Yeah. It is. It is that, you know, in the bigger picture, you know.

Right. And I think in finding that balance that I need to go and balance myself. You know, you said, what will you do? Will you ground? Because I too spent a lot of time in meditation at the beginning of my journey. And it was like, hello, you stopped to take your kids to school, make dinner, be a mom, right? Organize, pay bills. You know, people say sometimes to kill off the ego or to lose the ego is the goal how do you feel about that the ego death they speak of yeah i don't know i mean it's it's good to be aware that we are not our ego it's good to be aware that we are spiritual beings having a physical existence but i think the ego comes with the physical existence and there's a reason

for it i think we need to just tame it it's all about balance like you say and you know when you are using your ego when you used your ego in a way you shouldn't have used it and at the times it serves you well so it's about discernment and about just being true to yourself and honest with yourself. You only cheat yourself after all, you know, at the end of the day. Look, I've had many plant journeys where my ego was killed. Wow. And so I've had the experience of no ego and I've felt very much one with all. Yeah.

And that was amazing. And just knowing that and having experienced that is like, I know that that's my nature. You're also a businesswoman and an entrepreneur and you need that ego to be able to organize and to do all the things that that part of the brain can do. This is going to be the best decisions. I mean, you're not, I mean, I do know, I mean, already just from our conversation, you very much go inward also to find those decisions. Yeah. No, but you're right. Sometimes you just, very much as a business owner, you have to make a decision.

You have to make calls. Not everybody's going to be happy with things. Right. That's when you have to explain, you you explain your case at the end of the day you're going to make the last call and hopefully people are on board with what you decided and if not you'll see if it's worth your while you know having another conversation with this person or not and so yeah as I mean I've had my own business for 25 years and I'm very much like a decision maker and sometimes I just say and I say

to my team guys I'm so sorry I'm gonna have to pull the boss card on this one you know and and you do you need you need to do that as a business owner otherwise you can't please everybody I mean that's a fact or even just to be very strategic in things you know you know the ego has a good way of being able to help you get to where it's at um because i know sometimes my spiritual journey will lag on forever and that's one thing i'm like why couldn't i just receive all this in one minute but that's my ego saying that you know what i mean why can't i control you know this outcome I mean you know being a mother of four of course you know there's many times where I can't just be all kumbaya there has to be some

sort of structure and so I think that's that finding that balance but who's driving right as long as I know that that's my ego and I'm conscious to it yeah I don't know how sometimes if the ego makes every decision because sometimes logic makes decision i don't know you know sometimes the ego and the the spirit are aligned you know they're not always fighting each other i don't know if it's always the ego in the driving seat even if you're doing things that others don't approve of. Because you might still be being very true to yourself and you might still be doing what you truly think is right and what might be right. But it might not suit somebody else. And maybe it's something they have to work on. I don't know.

What I think I'm doing these days, and this is a very new routine because I'm a night owl. Me too. Yeah, I put the kids to bed and that's my me time. And I love me time, but also I get very creative and I end up working very late and go to bed late and all that stuff. So I read the 5 a.m. club book on Blinkist, which is very quick. I don't know this book. It's a book about waking up in the morning, very early, 5am obviously, and doing an hour of stuff for yourself. And everybody keeps saying to me,

oh, do your morning routine. And I'm like, guys, you don't understand with children in the morning, it's like crazy. And I'm tired. I've been in nightclubs since I was born, you know, even as a little kid actually I but then I thought okay well you know let me try because the thing is I have to wake up early to take my kids to school and get them dressed so this wasn't working very well because I wasn't sleeping very much and I watched Ted talk about how important sleep is so I'm going oh my gosh let me see if I could do this and I I just, like, really went for it. So the hard thing is obviously going to bed early.

But I did it the first night. And the first day I did it, and I didn't do 5 a.m. I just did 5.45. And then I did from 6 to 6.30. Okay, so half an hour. But now I'm on the second week. And I have to say, it's blowing my mind it's unbelievable like the difference so i am managing to go to bed early but check this out i'm managing because i wake up

at quarter to six i'm sitting on my mat at 6 a.m i do yoga for 10 minutes i kind of stretching really which is so good in the morning because your body's you know being right for so long so 10 minutes of stretching yoga stretches great 15 minutes meditation amazing i wish i could stay longer there because i'm i love it and then five minutes and this is where the kind of the magic happens where i put one thing that i need to do that day work-wise you know that's going to give me the biggest result that's going to be the best return on investment of my time and it's usually this one thing that I've been meaning to do for days and days and days I'm putting it off because you know I need some time and thoughts and whatever but if I just do that one thing so but I'm very clear because I've just stretched and meditated.

And during my meditation, it just comes like, oh, my gosh, I have to do this. So now it's been about eight or ten days where every single day I have done just one thing. But it's been so important. And guess what? I got these ten huge things done that I hadn't done before. Now what happens is in the evening, I don't feel guilty anymore because I've not been so efficient. So I'm like, well, I don't actually need to work another two hours sending emails because what I did was just so much better than that. And one of my days was like, okay, listen, get your emails because now that's becoming a

little bit like, you know, you're not replying. I love replying so I'm like okay today that has become the most important thing and I did that and I just did all my emails and you know so I've I can't believe I'm saying this after like 46 years of like night owling right maybe I'm completely changed I'm gonna become a morning person. Yeah. You know what? I think that it's amazing that you may for a while and go back and, you know, in different things in our life, my shift. And I, that's exactly, I've always been a night owl. And there was a, I don't know, maybe even seven years I did what you just said. I love the intention part, which I did not do.

But when I wouldn't get that moment in my morning, I felt so cheated. And like, I really started to just really honor that time. I worshiped that time right before. And I have four kids. And at that time, I had three kids in high school and a newborn. And actually three kids. No, I did not have three kids in high school and a newborn and actually three kids. No, I did not have three kids in high school. I'm lying. I had three kids in three different schools and a newborn at one time. And then, you know, went through my high school years with my two kids and my child who wasn't in high schools on the spectrum. I mean, it was a challenging

time of my life and I was doing what you were doing, waiting until they all went to bed and I would steal my moments at night and be exhausted. So I started to do in the morning as well and I loved it. And then my life shifted or my journey in the morning was more about being mindful outside. I think especially being a mom, you know, you just kind of have to roll with the different changes of being a mother. 100%. But I love that intention thing. You do things for a while.

And so maybe just to get stale or things change. Right. True. Yeah. I mean, so much has changed with me. I mean, I used to really feel like I used to call on the archangels all the time, but now I feel like my higher self has been coming forward more than me

leaning on the outside for the past like two years. I've just been so inward, you know, in receiving and trusting and working on that self-trust. Yeah. Yeah. self-trust yeah yeah well yeah you know I think like we all go through these stages and sometimes things stop working and we feel called to do something else at the end of the day it's what's working for you at that point in time so I think that honesty with yourself is important like with me I was like this is not working I can't sleep five hours every night. And you just have to say, well, something's got to change. And now it's changed.

Let's see how this works. And maybe it won't work anymore after a few years or months or what have you. But you've got to be honest with yourself. And you've got to take that time, I think, to think about these things. A couple of months ago, I went with a friend of mine and we spent a weekend writing what we actually wanted out of life because we don't think about that enough and she's never done it and we're like let's just go and spend like this weekend like talking about this you know writing it we had a very beautiful chilled and and we wrote it down and i thought like how how why do this every now and again you know but how important and how little it gets done

by most people and so taking the time to analyze your life to see what you could change to see what you really want to figure out hey could i be doing something different to get that is important. And we need that time. Yeah. Even sometimes I feel for myself, I could spend a lot of my spiritual journey instead of living. And so, you know, we're here for the experience. And I think that's a beautiful reminder when you're able to sit and say, what do I want to get out of this life?

I mean, do you really just want to spend it in meditation? No, you know, I, I, that's why a lot of my meditation in the morning shifted to experiencing nature, you know, so that for me was was how that shifted but i think that you know that's a very good reminder um for everyone and also to set your intentions in the morning oh i love that i can tell you you should try it i think this combo is very good the stretching parts because your body like needs it i can tell you like after almost two weeks i feel so much more flexible it's crazy and then meditation and then journaling i mean you could do everything i quite like you know figuring out what is it that i want to do that day um but

it could be some other kind of journaling i told my friend she's doing it now and she said oh my gosh she said i've had this business idea that has been like for weeks you know and she's like I poured it all out onto the paper it's like amazing she made space yeah I love that it's very important especially if you're busy yeah because a lot of things are just going like I said a ham or, you know, sometimes it could be hard to catch, you know, exactly what you need to make space for that, for that amazing idea to come through. Wow. That's, that's really cool. I'm going to do that. I'm gonna start tomorrow. And I love how to like, you know, try something new and keep track of it and see how, you know, if it's benefiting you, you know, like do a little study for yourself. yourself yeah and the other thing i've noticed look i'm

i can fall asleep very easily and i can sleep forever and i go to bed late right i used to go to bed very late yeah so i never slept enough just because i was going to get so late there are so many studies done on how important sleep is. I mean, people don't even have to like me. But I have to say, it's the first time I'm experiencing how true that is. I feel the last week and a half, I am really awake during the day. And I hadn't realized that I was kind of like a little bit asleep. You know, 10% of me was just like, yeah. And you just get so used to it. And you kind of like a little bit asleep you know 10% of me was just like yeah and you just

get so used to it and you kind of like pushing your body you know not more than three cups of coffee but like I needed my cup of coffee I needed this and now I'm like wow I'm really awake during the day this is amazing so if I come back on your podcast in a year's time and I'll be talking all about like possibly you know this morning thing yeah I'm just finding it very interesting because I keep before I don't notice it so much this time I'm really noticing it you should do like a 10 day challenge or something did you say it was like 10 days that you noticed well I noticed straight away it's been about 10 days so I noticed straight away. It's been about 10 days. So I noticed straight away how amazing it was.

And I've had a couple of nights where I went to bed a bit late. That's the trick is going to bed. Yeah. You have to retrain yourself. I love stretching and yoga as well. But one thing that I do is I tap my body out. Every morning, I just tap. You do everything twice. All the way from my feet and my inner legs

my outer legs my hips all the way up and you don't have to do it that long just however long it needs your body feels so awake after that it's like ready to go i love that exercise i do that a lot and i do a lot with my my students and kids just to bring that connection of body, you know, because sometimes the body like this morning, my body was like on fire. But sometimes I wake up and my body's just numb. I don't even know it's there. So I just wake it up. Yeah. A little trick that I do meditation, which I love if I have time.

But you can do it quick as well. I start from my head to my toes. I think of my hair, right? I don't really have great hair. Imagine the roots of my hair are like thick and I imagine my hair like amazing. And then I go to my skin and I imagine my whole skin just getting tighter and like blemishes going away and just getting younger. My whole bone, I usually tend to like shake and shiver when I go

through the bones then I go the brain and everything the eyes the nose and I love anatomy and I know what it looks like on the inside and I imagine those things like shining bright I imagine like the blood vessels with the blood flowing if there's any sort of you know coating it's like it goes away um i imagine my stomach getting smaller so i breathe in and as i breathe out i just envision it getting smaller and i swear one day i want somebody when i die to do an autopsy and see how big my stomach is i swear i think i'm making it smaller right and like and i go through every my whole body and I feel amazing. And then I imagine this white light filling me up from the inside. And I just go like this.

That's why I love my meditation in the morning because it's just so good. And I feel great. So that's a cool one to do, I think. That's what my meditations look like. Not exactly, but very much. Oh, really? I'm going into my eyes, hoping that I see better. You know, I do.

I do the full scan. And then, you know, bringing in the white light and just letting it just clear everything out. And then going in and putting a bubble of protection around me for the day. But, yeah, that spiritual hygiene, I feel, is so important. I think we should just put out a challenge for those that are watching and listening, you know, to try something new, take, you know, that moments in the morning and set an intention for the day and track it and see, you know, if you're being more productive in your life. I love that.

And I think to make it a bit easier on people is don't be too hard on yourself. I think consistency is the key. So if you have 15 minutes, that's fine. bit easier on people is don't be too hard on yourself i think consistency is the key so if you have 15 minutes that's fine and if you have half an hour great if you have an hour amazing but it doesn't have to be an hour it doesn't even have to be half an hour it's just about being consistent and doing something that really feels good to you with uh i mean i love the stretch meditation journal thing but if that doesn't work for you something else but i love it like try something new a new morning routine and 10 days see how

it goes you know 10 days in your life yeah and oftentimes there is that little bit of retraining that has to happen but once what was a a moment I had to steal literally became, you know, something so important that I protected. Like my friends would want to call and I said, no, no, no, you can't call that early because this is, you know, that time, you know, it became so precious to me where I felt it was stolen if I didn't have it. So it's pretty important to make space for yourself no matter what, but yeah, try something new. Yeah. Tell everybody where they could find Oracle.

So Oracle is spelled O-R-Y-K-L dot com, Oracle dot com. And we're a platform for vetted spiritual therapists and healers. So everybody that is on Oracle is somebody that you can trust. It's somebody that I have put my name on, so to speak. And if you're looking for spiritual assistance of any kind, if you're looking to connect with your spirit guides, past loved ones, animals, anybody in spirit, and if you're looking to learn more about yourself and who you are or obviously struggling with anything and we all struggle from time to time it's really wonderful

to to connect with one of these practitioners who can make you see things from a different perspective do healing on you and work on a on the spiritual level and it's very powerful very very powerful i can really say that i've had so many wonderful amazing beautiful sessions whether it's healing or channeling or something else so i really recommend it and hope it helps i love that you said animals and animal reading was like one of my favorite readings I've ever had. I mean, they blew me away. And so how many do you have or are you always adding? Are you capping out or how does that work? Yeah. So we're always adding the vetting process is takes a while and we've only just launched anyway it'll be in the dozens and we have different

modalities as i said so this channeling this mediumship is connecting with the diseased loved one there's you can go to your akashic records quantum healing pranic healing just energy healing which could be lots of different things in there and um spiritual counseling and maybe i'm missing one one or two that's so awesome yeah so all bringing in everyone's unique way you know they are here to assist others so it's tricky because everybody's so unique you know these spiritual healers really bring their own experience modalities and everything they've learned into their very unique way of doing the session. So in a way, it's hard to divide them into boxes, so to speak. Right.

Yeah. But we do as much as possible, you know, share who they are. We love videos because you can, you know, pick up somebody's energy much easier on a video. But that's what's so nice about Oracle. Anybody there can help you. And everybody there is qualified to help you. And they will help you. But also trusting yourself.

Whoever resonates with you, whoever feels like it's the right one, like that's the one you should go for. Yeah, trust that. Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing. So you'll have some something for everybody uh well i'm super excited to check that out for myself yeah you gotta be in this receiving end to to understand sometimes how impactful it can be for some people it's always positive
