I had the pleasure of guesting on MJ's podcast: Soulful Convos with Josephine. 

MJ is a freelance creative that I met through a decolonization group on Instagram.

MJ is a beautiful soul and this episode is SO good.

We talked about the beginning of my spiritual journey,
How my Filipino culture has influenced my journey,
​and how I stay committed even when people don't agree with what I do.

​Please take a listen and head to the podcast page to listen to the other Fil-Am guests she interviewed for Filipino American History Month.

I got a 30 Days of Intentions card set from @gratitudeglassjars. I'll be using and sharing them as I reconnect and get honest with myself. 
What is a value? Oxford Languages defines values as: 
noun
plural noun: values

1. the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.
   "your support is of great value"
2. a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.
   "they internalize their parents' rules and values"

What do I value? Myself. I value myself as something held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. As a brown woman building a business based on mysticism, I’m shown in more ways than one that I am not valuable. Where I disrupt this pattern is being the only authority of my value necessary. 
As an individual, you don’t need to seek other’s validation for your worth.  
As a collective, you’re here to show others what they’re worth by investing your trust in them. 
Thank you for trusting me with your energy. 
What do you value?
 
Registration for my Healing Your Relationship with Wealth course closes when class starts tonight at 6PM PST/9PM EST.

Mama had her a meltdown!

I realize we have so much happening with the planetary alignments that are alchemizing exponential transformation as we move into 200 years of a new element: air. This meltdown was days in the making. I put myself through several things (whew, energy cleanse! aka enema for the soul) that helped surface the energy that manifested as a meltdown.

Yes, I gotta have grace for myself. Believe me, I’m the first person to recognize that.
Yes, I know this is all in the end good. I’m usually one of the more optimistic people you’ll ever meet.

But don’t get it twisted, I feel the full range of my emotions. I need it.

My emotions ground me.
My emotions remind me how human I am.
My emotions keep me honest with myself. (How dare I say I’m cool when I’m feeling so incredibly meh and underwhelmed on the inside!)

I share this because there are so many out there in the spiritual community that hook onto light and love as the only way.

Yo….your shadow gives you depth and greater self-awareness.

Let yourself feel all the feels, even the ones that break you down to tears. I am a better person for my tears. I have a stronger relationship with myself for honoring my energy and letting her do what she does best.

I reimagined my services to now offer the Total Transparency session. The Total Transparency session is designed to help you get real with yourself through channeled guidance. I employ all of my spiritual practices to facilitate the best experience for us. While my books are closed for the rest of 2020, gift yourself and/or a friend the Total Transparency session and start this new 200 years of air element with self-awareness.

I woke up this morning to the scent of spam and rice. It made me a combination of sad and nostalgic.

It made me nostalgic as I thought about my childhood and having spam. I feel like we didn't eat spam that often. I feel like it was more of a special treat.

It made me sad because I can't eat it. About 3 years ago, I gave up meat for my health. But that is a story for another time. 

As I think about why it makes me so nostalgic, I think about my mom and how often she would make us home cooked meals. When I was a kid, we would walk to a neighbor's house after school and they would watch us until my mom got off of work. Often times, she would pick us up and we would go home and she would cook us dinner. I think about how much work and effort that is. With 3 small kids, after working an entire day, and then coming home and being by yourself and making dinner. 

I think about how much I struggle with that with only 2 kids and having help. I think of how much work that is and how much love is put into it. This thought begs me to ask myself, why don't I love myself enough to be able to do that?

Why don't I love my family enough to be able to do that? It also makes me have so much admiration for my mom for doing that every day for so long. We barely ate out as kids. I don't think my mom jumped on the fast food train until I was in middle or high school.

I share this as both admiration for my mom and finally understanding what my guides are trying to tell me about having a relationship with my food and with eating. I've realized my attachment to the foods I think of so fondly are really an attachment to the memories. Taking that even deeper is that I didn't understand it as my mom's love and a part of me felt like I'd be losing it by letting it go. I know that isn't true. My mom comes by with vegetarian friendly food for me all the time.

Eating is more than stuffing food down your throat so it could journey through your insides and come out in your feces. It is a multi-dimensional experience of emotions, memories, and the energies of all involved from those that cultivated, prepared, and shared the meal. ​This is taking mindfulness to the next level. You want to love unconditionally? It means loving all things, inclusive of your food and your eating ritual. 

Close your eyes.
Take 3 deep breaths, in through the nose and out your mouth.
Return your breath to it's normal pace. 

Visualize a bright light filling up your space, neutralizing your surroundings. 
Allow yourself to embrace and celebrate who you are right here, right now. 
Send yourself love.
Maybe that's visualizing hugging yourself or telling yourself a legit compliment. 
Bask in it. Feel that energy fill you up. 
Then gently return to your body and open your eyes. 

Ok thx bai! JK

What we do in our mind has great effects on our physical reality.
What starts in your mind takes energy and builds momentum until it manifests into physical reality.

Meditation isn't just about sitting in silence. It helps you build self-awareness through your monkey mind. Consider all the shit running through your mind when you try to sit in silence. Those thoughts are coming up for a reason. 

Meditation is a foundation of my practice and should be for you too if you're trying to make personal developmental progress. I teach this in alllll of my classes.  

Do you have a meditation practice? What does meditation look like for you?

My family is reading this awesome book Charlie Hernandez and The Castle of Bones by Ryan Calejo. It was a gift to my son but we read it as a family and we. are. hooked. There were many late nights that my son and I stayed up late reading chapter after chapter from the first book of what I hope is a lengthy series. The books are full of magic,  mystery, and suspense. As I sneakily read ahead, I came upon this quote.

This quote is so fitting for everyone. How many times have you had an idea that you absolutely knew you needed to share with the world? Now how many of you analyzed, criticized, and diminished that idea in the pursuit of perfection to the point that you deflated all the energy from it?

You (and all of your creations) are perfect as is. Period. 

The curse of comparison is real. It will keep you from making the exponential progress you envision. Perfection is in progress. 

All you need is to come as you are. Get out of your way by anchoring yourself in your heart and let that be your guide.
