Maureen Spielman: 00:00:05

be with you here today with a solo episode called every day as

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:11

your wake up call. So I talk a little bit about how often in

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:16

life, we have the big wake up calls. But what if we took an

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:20

invitation in our daily lives to wake up, and to treat it as our

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:25

Awakener sort of celebrating what's right in front of us and

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:29

leaning into the whispers of the universe more and more. So I'm

Maureen Spielman: 00:00:34

really excited for you to listen and get your feedback. I want to

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:44

Welcome back to mystical sisterhood. This is your host,

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:47

Maureen Spielman. And today I come to you with a solo episode

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:52

about Wake Up Calls. So I wanted to talk about how we think about

Maureen Spielman: 00:01:58

them, what they can mean for your life. And this idea or

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:03

question that do we need to wait for them to practice connection

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:09

to ourselves in alignment with our souls journey? Or do we take

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:13

ownership of our experience today, and treat every day as a

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:17

wake up call. So a traditional literal meaning, which I think

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:23

is sort of funny and nostalgic, of a wake up call is when we're

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:26

in a hotel, or a motel, and we would tell the front desk, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:31

need a wake up call. And you would get if you remember it,

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:34

maybe you were on a trip, and you needed to hit the road

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:37

early. And you'd say I need the wake up call at 5am or 6am. I

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:40

remember it more from my parents in that generation of growing

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:44

up, that I do my own experience, although it was part of mine,

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:48

too. But now we use cell phones, right? So what is that wake up

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:52

call, it's coming from somewhere else, it's coming from the

Maureen Spielman: 00:02:56

outside. And we'll talk about that, like how Wake Up Calls are

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:01

from the universe when we think of them in the non literal sense

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:06

of something that is here for us more for our awakening, perhaps

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:11

on a spiritual level. So the way that in kind of common kind of

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:17

language we think about Wake Up Calls is that it's something

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:22

jarring or shocking, that happens to you in your life, in

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:27

order to spiritually wake you up, or lead you to changes in

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:31

your life. I think that most people would agree about the

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:36

concept. Even if you don't feel like you've experienced a wake

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:39

up call in your own life, something big that's happened.

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:43

But if I kind of think about people in my own life, I know so

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:47

many people who have this, this big cosmic two by fours,

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:52

sometimes they refer to it as the Awakener. And also, when big

Maureen Spielman: 00:03:59

things happen in our lives, that we we the eye of the beholder,

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:06

get to say what they mean to us and derive our own lessons from

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:12

them. So I was thinking like the eye of the beholder or the

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:16

recipient that's getting the call. They get to say what it

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:20

means. And it might just mean it's something that they need to

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:24

get through because it's so hard to get through. And insight

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:28

about that event might not come till later, or it might unfold

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:32

over time. Because I think when wakeup calls come in, we're

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:37

going to talk about what they can come in the form of they are

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:41

very difficult to get through and require a lot of our

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:45

resources like all hands on deck to kind of meet that Awakener in

Maureen Spielman: 00:04:52

our lives. So wake up calls can come in the form of a diagnosis

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:00

death of someone close to you death of a parent, loss of a

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:05

job, someone leaving you, breakup or a divorce. It's

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:11

basically when I think about these kinds of different things

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:14

that happen to us, it's the loss of something very precious to

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:18

you something that you knew to be true as your reality, that

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:24

something on the outside occurs, that rocks your world. And so

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:31

when these come in my life, they feel bigger than me, bigger than

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:35

what I know what to do or have learned to do up to that moment.

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:40

And here's one thing about them. In the moments, you might also

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:44

have intuition about what needs to change in your life. And you

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:50

may have that realization right away with a wake up call that

Maureen Spielman: 00:05:53

you've experienced. But that might not change that quickly.

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:00

So I always think that you know, even if we do have these

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:03

awakened errs and the wakeups and, and these things that are

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:06

calling us to attend to ourselves, on perhaps a new and

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:12

deeper level, things that are here for our growth and

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:15

transformation, it's always with a very compassionate hand that

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:21

we're holding with ourselves. And so if you have something on

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:25

the outside, and you know, like, oh, my gosh, this needs to

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:28

change in my life, that that might not occur in short order.

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:32

And that's okay. Because it's here to alert you to something.

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:36

So you can tend to your needs more deeply. Thoughts might come

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:42

to you feelings definitely will. And I believe that it's about

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:45

sitting back and becoming curious about how you respond

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:49

that allows you to see possibly more clearly what is happening

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:53

for you. And in the moment, it absolutely feels like it's

Maureen Spielman: 00:06:56

happening to you. Because when they come in the form of a wake

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:01

up call, I they can absolutely slay you knock you down, knock

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:07

you out cold. And they can humble you beyond belief. I

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:11

always used to think of when I was healing from my, you know,

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:16

medical journey, and I went back to exercise, like, even the

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:20

exercise alone, that I had been strong enough for in the past, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:25

would always have this image of like, broke me down like I was

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:29

on my knees. And that's kind of when a wake up call comes.

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:34

That's what it feels like, so often. How do you feel about

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:38

that? What have you felt in your life when these times have come?

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:41

A lot of people I think feel like totally just they go back

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:47

to ground zero, they begin again, it's it's something that

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:51

calls to us, we get to begin again. Because everything that

Maureen Spielman: 00:07:57

you knew, whether it's for your health or real relationship, and

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:02

the loss of someone dear to you, everything that you knew in that

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:05

form falls away. So you might not realize it in the moment.

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:12

But it becomes an invitation to recreate some aspect of your

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:17

life experience itself often said that people awaken because

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:24

of that major life event. Or they awaken on their own terms.

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:28

So my teacher, Dr. Shefali, always used to talk about that

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:32

in conscious parenting, like, When we awaken to new truths

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:36

about ourselves, they can come in the form of something really

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:40

big and that Aha, like, oh my gosh, like my world did fall

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:44

apart in order to learn these lessons. But for some, and maybe

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:49

more than ever, I'm not sure. People are just Awakening on

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:54

their own terms, like just starting to go inward. There's

Maureen Spielman: 00:08:57

so much information out there now, asking us deeper questions

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:02

about ourselves than we've ever been asked. And it's such a

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:06

beautiful thing. So that right there can lead to sort of a

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:11

cracking open or a breaking open to wake up to a new reality and

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:18

new revelations about our lives. Because we're all here to sort

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:22

of live this fully expressed, engaged, aligned life. What are

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:29

the things in our outside world that are coming to us to open up

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:34

those possibilities? I was thinking, as I was writing this

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:39

episode of the famous Rumi poem called Don't go back to sleep.

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:45

I'm sure so many of you heard heard it, but I'm gonna just

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:49

read it because it's short and sweet. And it's to the point and

Maureen Spielman: 00:09:55

it says, The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:01

back to sleep, you must ask for what you really want. Don't go

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:07

back to sleep, people are going back and forth across the door

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:11

cell, where the two worlds touch, the door is round and

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:16

open. Don't go back to sleep.

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:20

I love that. I'm often reminded of the don't go back to sleep. I

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:26

think that oftentimes in our lives, I want to talk about the

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:31

whispers that we get. But we get the whispers, and we go, Bill,

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:35

go back to sleep. Because it's comfortable, it's so

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:39

understandable that we'd go back to sleep, because we don't know

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:42

what we don't know on the other side. And so we would rather

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:48

stay in the comfort or we think we would then venture out into

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:53

that the unknown on the other side. So I wanted to say before,

Maureen Spielman: 00:10:57

I talked about universal whispers, that I see it

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:00

happening before my eyes. And I'm wondering if you are too,

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:06

I'm thinking about women's awakening, and taking the

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:11

invitation to not go back to sleep for what is true and right

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:15

for their lives. I recently put a shout out on my mystical

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:21

sisterhood Facebook page. And if you're not a part of that,

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:24

please seek it and request and join it. We have fun in there.

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:30

But I said I was looking for women to talk to me about their

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:33

experiences at midlife. And I was really doing it largely to

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:41

inform me about podcast topics and what women are going on. But

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:45

what I realized, and I think it's part of my reason for being

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:48

in doing the podcast is that I love love, love, love, love the

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:52

conversations, I just love the conversations, that's part of my

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:55

life's purpose and mission, to sit with people and hear their

Maureen Spielman: 00:11:59

life stories. But I also was in awe. And I'll just say blown

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:05

away by the conversations I've had so far. Because women are

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:11

awakening in so many ways. These are the sharings of recounting

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:17

something big happening in in their outer life. That is

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:22

allowing them to rethink where they find themselves, how they

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:25

spend the time, who they want to hang out with new careers, what

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:29

they want to create new conversations, they want to have

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:32

new boundaries, you name it, it's happening. I have to

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:37

believe that it's happening for men too. I'm in conversation

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:41

with fewer men's. I don't I don't have the pulse on that.

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:46

But I believe it. And I believe it's happening for all of us.

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:50

The wake ups and the whispers that don't have to come in

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:54

something big. And I think it's happening for the kids too. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:12:57

so the invitation for them to be in the conversation with us like

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:01

let's not wait, let's not wait. So in the context of these

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:06

bigger wake up calls, and even in in smaller ones that might

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:11

come through, is there an opportunity to create an aligned

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:16

life now. All right, this may not be true for everybody. But I

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:21

think it might be that we all have places in our lives, where

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:26

we're more in alignment than others. So maybe you have this

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:31

amazing career, but struggle with your partner, perhaps you

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:39

have a great relationship with your intimate inner circle. But

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:44

you have a not so great relationship relating to your

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:47

body, and struggling with self image and being enough with your

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:51

body. So it can look a lot of different ways or where most of

Maureen Spielman: 00:13:57

our areas are aligned. But there's that one thing. And so I

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:03

bring that up because the things that come into our live lives

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:09

are here to help us grow and transform and become more

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:14

aligned. So if we have that place in our life that feels out

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:19

of reach that feels like it will never be solved or you'll never

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:23

figure it out or it plagues you or there's no way out. That's

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:28

far from the truth. And there's invitations to look deeper in

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:33

it. So I was thinking like, Can we agree that it's sort of

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:39

universal that we might have some parts of our lives but then

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:41

others that aren't as aligned? And if not, then it falls on me.

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:46

It's just me. But I'm hoping that that resonates in some way.

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:51

So while we might not first know why something is happening, even

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:55

if it's like consistently happening in our outer world, it

Maureen Spielman: 00:14:58

might be called calling us to ask what in my life may need

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:05

care love and my attention? needs that compassionate ear

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:11

that compassionate witness? Or what support do I desire to

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:16

guide me now? So these are like awakening questions that that

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:20

that that outer can help us ask ourselves, How can I become my

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:27

biggest advocate and nurture? How can I let go of the outside

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:32

world being this for me? So knowing that I'm 100%

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:37

responsibility for answering these calls, the Wake Up Calls,

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:42

answering kind of getting curious about what's in them for

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:45

me, and taking responsibility. Hiring that therapist hiring

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:50

that coach, getting that book, creating the conversation,

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:54

joining the conversation, whatever it is, how can I let go

Maureen Spielman: 00:15:58

of anything on the outside having to do that for myself?

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:02

Asking yourself if you're open to new guidance and sources of

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:06

information. I'm a big believer that anytime we put any of these

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:10

questions out to the universe, it's echoing it's reverberating,

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:13

it's vibrating out there. And the answer is, we'll be on the

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:18

way to you. What practices continue to work for me, and

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:22

what what practices need to go or what am I doing in my life,

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:26

that's not serving me any longer. And that might be a

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:30

habit that, that could be not getting enough sleep, it could

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:34

be hanging under smoking, it could be gossiping too much,

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:40

whatever it is, we all know, I mean, wake up calls do come in

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:44

different forms. But I think sometimes we just know our

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:47

intuition is like, jeez, like I, I knew for a long time that that

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:51

was there for me to, to kind of get curious about and not have

Maureen Spielman: 00:16:59

it part of my experience anymore. And wake up calls can

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:03

make us look at areas of our life where you may be reaching

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:07

Completion can be for a job or a relationship. Those are bigger,

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:13

and those that's that leads me to that, you know, earlier when

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:16

I was saying, you know, I might not know the answer now. But I'm

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:20

willing to be with myself on this journey with compassion

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:25

and, and as much present moment awareness as I can to come to

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:30

the answer. But where this whole conversation leads me is this

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:35

truth that the universe universe is here to support you and send

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:39

you support constantly. And it's something that most of us were

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:45

not conditioned to know or believe. So it can be a bit out

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:49

there, this idea that the universe is here to support us

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:53

as both a concept and a practice. But if we are, and

Maureen Spielman: 00:17:58

this is where I come from, if we were on a souls journey, in this

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:01

lifetime, that you are not just this human body, that you have a

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:04

soul a spirit. And if you're on that souls journey in this

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:08

lifetime, then we know that we're here to grow and learn as

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:13

humans in this human form. And everything is here for our

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:17

growth and transformation. A lot of people say that they have

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:22

gotten whispers from the universe before that bigger wake

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:27

up call. And I feel like I had some of those in my health

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:32

journey, for sure. And they've been coming to me a lot this

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:36

summer. As I created. I was calling the summer, my sacred

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:40

summer, and I really cleared more space for myself. And when

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:43

I cleared more space for myself more, more answers, not answers,

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:48

like, Oh, here's the answer for you. But more information, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:51

should say came to me. So I call those whispers. I've heard them

Maureen Spielman: 00:18:56

called different names. But they're there. They're more

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:00

subtle than that big wake up call. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:05

I think that we're they're here for us, in order for us to grow

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:12

and learn every day. And so the more we wake up to this truth

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:18

that the universe is here to support us. And we were given

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:21

the gift of intuition. That's coming from within us, coupled

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:27

with I always say coupled with doing the emotional integration

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:30

of past experiences. But these whispers are here. So we don't

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:35

have to wait for the big big thing to come in order to begin

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:39

to awaken. And the more awake we become to the whispers in our

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:43

life. And that wow, you know that that's happening? Oh, I see

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:48

that sign. Oh, this book was dropped in my lap. Oh, I chose

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:51

that movie. Oh, this person called me for this conversation.

Maureen Spielman: 00:19:55

They're all there and if we can stop being so busy And pause, we

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:02

start to collect the data that's coming to us. That's here for

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:05

our souls awakening. And I, that's I have gone through a big

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:09

Awakener. And that did lead me to even sitting in this chair

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:13

today recording this podcast, which is great. But it's there

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:17

for us. And, you know, let's let's talk about them. Let's

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:20

let's get curious about them, and bring it home, bring it to

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:24

your home, you're inside, you're, you're deciphering,

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:27

you're pulling in the information as to where you're

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:30

going. So yeah, these whispers can look like synchronicities

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:37

and messages. And I have to take a little, little step and say, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:45

had a neat one come to me the other day. And I read about this

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:48

Buddhist practice called the Buddha, sorry, the bodhichitta.

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:53

I almost said bodhichitta, it was called the bodhichitta. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:56

I'm just gonna say it in its simplest form of how I

Maureen Spielman: 00:20:59

understood it. So it was Friday afternoon. And I was having a

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:03

nice day of more relaxing than usual. And I was reading a book,

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:07

and I believe it was Pema sjogrens, when things fall

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:11

apart, and a friend had recently given it to me for my birthday.

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:15

And so I was sort of luxuriating reading the text and the book

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:19

and this work of art. And she talks about the bodhichitta,

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:25

which I understood as not walling ourselves off from the

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:29

suffering and struggling in the world. And breathing, having a

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:34

practice of breathing in the suffering, and then breathing

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:38

out compassion to whatever group or individual so it's a way to,

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:44

I feel like process and have a process to take in the suffering

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:49

and breathe out the compassion for the world that we want to

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:52

both create experience and see. So I just learned about this, I

Maureen Spielman: 00:21:57

was sort of excited about it. And it was late afternoon, and I

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:00

had my air conditioning, whole thing being replaced on Friday.

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:05

And my daughter said, Mom, there's a little boy in the

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:08

front yard. And he had run into my yard and collapsed in my

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:14

yard, which is so crazy. And he had he had been running from

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:18

somewhere in the community and he collapsed on my front porch

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:22

and, or my front yard and the air conditioning guys. were

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:28

tending to them. And they were calling the police. And my

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:31

daughter said, Mom Come out and see this. And, you know or be

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:35

with this and the little boy was distraught. And it turned out he

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:38

had run away. He was saying that he had experienced someone

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:43

trying to kidnap them. And a lot of things were coming from the

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:46

little boy. But it turned out that he had run away from our

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:50

local foster home and was landed, I will just leave it at

Maureen Spielman: 00:22:56

that on my front porch in in like a very heightened state.

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:03

And he was taken and taken care of and it was quickly deduce

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:09

that he had to run away. But I couldn't help but think like, oh

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:14

my gosh, Maureen, you just read this bodhichitta. And then this

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:18

boy, this young boy, you know, in need of so much compassion

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:24

and understanding shows up on your front porch. I mean, it was

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:27

like, wow, so the universe, though, an old version of me

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:33

would be like, Oh, that's a cool book, you know, put it down what

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:36

a concept. But I could see that the universe gave it to me right

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:40

there to awaken something in me, and then actually use this for

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:45

this young soul. And so that kind of blew me away. But I

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:49

think the more that we're awake and someone said it on, on that

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:53

mystical sisterhood page, I had said something like, oh my gosh,

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:56

like, I can't believe this happen. And she said, And if

Maureen Spielman: 00:23:59

she's listening, she knows who she is. She said, Oh, I expect

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:03

those synchronous synchronicities more than I

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:06

don't. And when we start to lean in, and, you know, treat every

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:13

day as this wake up call, and we're listening deeply and

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:19

intently and with intention, we begin to see that so much is

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:25

here for us. And, you know, I want to say that for me, that I

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:35

at one point was partly asleep to the signs. But now I know

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:42

that these are all occurring in my daily life and right in front

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:46

of my eyes to guide me to my answers in my truth. So I want

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:51

to say to that I think that the whisperings I think we do know,

Maureen Spielman: 00:24:56

but so much in our lives we we suppress or we numb out, or we

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:03

don't fully allow ourselves to come into the conversation. And

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:08

so this is an invitation to remind each other of this magic,

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:15

the truth, the information is plentiful, and abundant, and

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:22

that you are invited to tune into it as much as you can take

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:27

nothing for granted. And it's all here for you to plant the

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:31

seeds, seeds, nourish your soul, and grow. And, you know, the

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:39

conversations are here for you. I tried to bring these

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:42

conversations forth in the podcast, I am realizing that

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:49

part of what I like to do here is bring in conversations that

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:53

feel innovative, that feel like you have one walk away of one

Maureen Spielman: 00:25:59

question that touched your soul, that it helps you be in closer

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:04

conversation with yourself, with your community, with your

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:07

intimate partners and with the universe. And so I see that all

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:13

happening. And I will put out the invitation for you that

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:19

these are the kinds of conversations that we're having

Maureen Spielman: 00:26:21
