Transcript
Hello my friends,
Welcome to this recording for tragic events.
Whatever situation is happening right now on the planet that you are worried about specifically in this moment.
There are many,
Many,
Many different things that this could be about.
In fact,
You may come back to this recording many different times for many different presenting situations in the world that are tragic.
I have so much compassion because I too,
Just like you,
Am on the planet watching the duality of this experience and all of the many things that can happen,
Both beautiful and tragic.
Whether it's natural events,
Whether it's terrorist attacks,
Whether it's human mental imbalance,
Whether it's physical decay of the body,
Whatever the situation,
There are so many things that can feel very,
Very tragic.
And what we're going to do today is not look for peace on the outside,
In the situation itself,
Because in this dualistic experience of reality,
It's a vibrational one.
There's the vibrations that go high,
The vibrations that go low,
And the high and the low and the high and the low.
They're not peace.
Peace is steady.
Peace is stable.
In a way of the vibrational sense,
You could say peace is flat.
It's not the highs.
It's not the lows.
It's not only highs.
It's not only lows.
Those would be different versions.
It's a different dimension,
And it doesn't live this peaceful place that's beyond the duality of the highs or of the lows does not exist in this dualistic level of experience.
The peace is the peace within.
This,
More than almost any other meditation in this little series,
Is showing that but what is so powerful about what you're going to do right now is that you're going to find the peace even within this experience,
But not on the outside,
Not in the tragic natural event,
Not in the physical body's decay,
Not in the terrorist attack that just occurred.
We're not going to find peace in the minds of the people or the situations or the weather patterns.
That's not where the peace lives.
The peace and the clarity and the understanding of what to do next yourself lives within you.
So I'm going to ask some questions right now,
And we're going to ask them to your inner voice for you about this specific scenario you're in right now.
So how do we do this?
In case you're new to this work,
This may be the first recording you're listening to.
The first step to doing this,
It's very peaceful and much easier if you're in a quiet space and able to be alone.
Of course,
You don't have to do that under these circumstances,
But if you're possibly capable at some point to being alone and being in a quiet,
Peaceful place,
That's a great place to start,
Especially if you're new at this because it may be easier to hear the answers.
And also for those that are very,
Very new,
Writing to your inner voice may also be a stronger way to doing this than listening with the recording.
So feel into this.
If you feel like you might be able to get answers easier through writing,
Look at where this was listed because we're including a written set of these questions so that you can write them down and write the responses.
Or feel free to pause this recording as I ask the questions and stop,
Listen,
And write as we go.
Totally up to you either way.
Or if you even have your phone right now,
You could write down in some notes app in your phone the answers you received,
The questions I ask,
So later after this is done,
You can look back at the answers you received to knowing your inner voice's perspective on this situation,
Because this place within you can show you the peace in any situation,
No matter how tragic it is on the outside,
And this reality,
This inner dimension of yourself is peaceful and has clarity and direction for you about what to do next for yourself.
Okay,
So now we know quiet space,
Feel free to write these down.
Now,
How do we do this inner voice thing?
Okay,
It's easiest to close your eyes and to float your awareness down into your chest or your belly.
Typically,
Lower in your chest or lower in your belly is better,
Away from the busy mental thoughts in your head.
Now,
Especially if this is a very close to home tragic event that's happened for you,
If it's a family member that's impacted,
If it's you that's been impacted,
If it's something very close to home,
You're going to have to do heavier breathing and exhales,
Most likely,
To hear the inner voice.
In fact,
There may be a lot of beanbags on the subject to even begin with,
And if that is the case,
Beanbags being tough emotional states,
If you're not at a state of having released some of those initial emotional reactions,
Please go to the Inner Peace for Tough Emotions meditation first.
It will be 10 times easier to hear the answers to these questions within you if those emotional tough emotions,
I call them emotional beanbags,
If those are released,
This will be so much easier.
Trying to hear your inner voice through a bunch of emotional beanbags is pretty much,
Especially for new people to this,
Almost impossible.
So it'll end up making you feel like you didn't actually hear anything at all,
Which is so sad because you could,
It's just when the emotions are in the way,
It's gonna block them.
So please go listen to the Tough Emotions meditation first to release any of the emotions that might be on this subject.
Then when you're in a bit of a calmer place,
You'll actually be able to close your eyes now,
Take some deep breaths and lower into the belly or to the chest in less triggered reactions,
Okay?
So that'll be easier.
So please stop this and go do that first if you need to.
And now that we're at a pretty steady state,
We still might be upset about the situation or lost for how this situation could have occurred in this reality.
We're gonna go in and find the answers from the inner voice.
Okay,
So these are some questions you can ask and I tried to make them general enough to work for almost any tragic event,
But of course you can tailor these more specifically as I ask the questions,
Tailor them to the situation you're actually in.
So number one,
Inner voice,
Should I be worried about the event that just happened?
Now,
What you're gonna do is send that answer down to your chest or your belly and you're going to exhale.
Now,
The stronger your mind is going to wanna react,
The more you're going to have to exhale to blow the thoughts from your mind away from your face.
Because when the mind is holding onto a thought and a point of view very strongly,
It will hold your breath at the same time.
So if you wanna get your mind out of the way to get to this inner peace beyond your mind,
A very big,
Deep exhale is going to be.
Out of your mouth is usually stronger than inside your mouth or out of your nose,
So feel free to exhale those bugging thoughts like little bugs outside your face away.
So inner voice,
Should I be worried?
Should I be worried about the event that just happened?
Blow out and listen into the belly or into the chest.
As you exhale,
You cannot think those old thoughts,
But you can still receive and listen.
So feel for a word in the belly or the chest or a picture or a knowingness or a feeling.
Again,
Not beanbags.
If you have beanbags,
If you have emotions,
Go do the tough emotions meditation.
But if you don't have the beanbags,
Then you'll be able to get a sense of a feeling that your inner voice is indicating yes,
No,
Or neutral.
But if you get a yes to the inner voice,
Should I be worried about the event that just happened?
If you've perceived a yes,
Ask why.
Why should I be worried about this event that just happened?
And if you heard no to this,
And your mind is very probably incredulous that you could possibly not need to be worried about the event that just happened,
Because obviously it's a very important event that just happened in the world,
Ask why not?
Why shouldn't I be worried about the event that just happened?
Either answer,
Ask why,
Inner voice for clarity.
Inner voice,
Why should I be worried about the event or why should I not be worried about the event that just happened?
And listen.
Again,
For one word answers are beautifully brilliant.
Exhale,
Exhale the mind away,
Because of course it has a stance that is press play on this meditation,
Because it's going to probably already may feel it's hard to imagine being peaceful on the situation.
So especially if you got no,
I shouldn't be worried about the event that just happened.
It might be even harder to believe.
So really ask for why not,
And then open and listen.
One word answers are beautifully fine.
You don't need a whole statement.
You don't need a channel coming through.
You just need to hear the beauty and the wisdom,
The distillation of insight to one word is beautiful.
If yes,
Why?
If no,
Why not?
Okay,
Next question.
Inner voice,
Are you worried about the event that just happened?
Inner voice,
Are you as the inner voice worried about the event that just happened?
Send that question down all the way to the ground to ground of your chest or your belly and listen.
Again,
For words,
Knowledge,
Pictures,
Knowingness,
Feelings.
If you get a yes,
Ask why the inner voice is worried about the event that just happened.
If you got a no,
Ask why not?
Why are you worried about the event that just happened?
Inner voice,
Or if no inner voice,
Why are you not?
Now,
This is going to be very challenging for the mind if it's very,
Very stressed,
Because most situations,
The inner voice is not worried.
You can ask this one,
Inner voice,
Are you ever worried?
It's also another question to ask,
Which will have maybe some ears perk up if you hear the answer inside yourself.
Inner voice,
And you exhale,
You have to get out of your head.
Of course,
The mind is worried about the situation.
That's why you're listening to this recording,
But you have to go down to this peaceful place inside yourself and listen.
Listen and be open.
You don't have to mentally agree with anything that you're hearing from your inner voice.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Inner voice,
Are you worried about the event that just happened?
If yes,
Why?
If no,
Why not?
If yes,
Why?
Why are you worried?
And if you're not worried,
Inner voice,
Why are you not worried?
How on earth could you possibly not be worried about this very tragic event that just happened?
And listen.
And of course,
As I said,
Feel free to stop this recording at any point when you need more time and ask more questions for more clarity.
One of the biggest things I can recommend for anyone starting their journey with their inner voice is to ask more questions rather than stop when they don't understand the answer they heard.
It's an invitation when you get stuck understanding what it said to ask 10 more follow-up questions.
Don't leave it hanging.
Don't leave yourself with lack of clarity.
Just ask more information,
More insight,
More expansion of what it was saying in the first place.
Okay,
Now we have inner voice.
Should I be worried for myself,
My family,
Or people I know personally regarding this experience?
Inner voice,
Should I be worried for myself,
My family,
Or people I know personally regarding this experience?
So exhale and listen into the chest and the belly.
Depending on the tragic event that you're listening for,
This may be a very relevant or a very irrelevant question,
Depending on the event in your mind.
But listen.
Inner voice,
Should I be worried for myself,
My family,
Or people I know personally regarding this experience?
If yes,
Why?
Follow-up question.
If you got a no,
Why not?
Inner voice.
Why should I not be worried for myself,
My family,
Or people I know personally regarding this experience?
Again,
Listen or write down the answers that you heard.
If the situation feels personal you're in,
There may be many more follow-up questions you'd like to ask on that line of questions.
If the situation is in a far off country or in another part of the world,
Then this may not feel quite as relevant as the question.
But now let's move on.
Inner voice,
Should I be worried for the people I don't know personally who are affected by this experience?
Should I be worried for the people I don't know personally who are affected by this experience?
Maybe it's something that's happening in another part of your own country,
Your own town,
A family next door,
A country on the other side of the world.
But this is for those tragic events that you don't know the people personally affected.
Maybe there's a hurricane,
Maybe there's an earthquake,
Maybe there's a flood,
Maybe there's a pandemic.
Whatever the situation is,
Should I be worried for the people I don't know personally who are affected by this experience?
If yes,
If you get a yes to that,
Ask why.
If you get a no,
Should I be worried for the people I don't know personally,
Ask why not.
Again,
You're going to have to exhale and listen into your belly,
Listen into your chest with an open mind.
Of course,
We're not asking your mind to be happy about any of the answers you're getting from your inner voice or anything that happened in the situation.
We're just trying to find greater clarity in your inner voice on the situation that occurred.
So,
All right,
Inner voice,
Are you,
Inner voice,
Worried for people and families affected by this experience?
Now,
This is a challenging one for the mind,
Because of course the mind is going to have a lot of different stories on this answer,
But we're trying to stay open,
Relaxed,
And allowing the wisdom of you to flow through you.
So,
We're going to exhale really big on this one.
Inner voice,
Are you,
The inner voice,
Worried for the people and families affected by the experience?
My guess is your mind certainly is worried for them,
Or you would not be playing this recording,
But we're going to now ask if yes,
Inner voice,
Why are you worried for the people and families affected?
And if you heard no,
Ask why not?
This could be a huge transforming answer to your understanding of so many tragic events,
Including this one.
If you heard no from your inner voice,
That the inner voice is not worried for the people and families affected by the experience,
Ask why not?
This could be one of the most biggest light bulb,
Life-changing,
Perception-shifting answers you may ever receive from your inner voice.
If you heard your inner voice is not worried,
Which of course your mind is,
Finding the answer from your inner voice from its wise and peaceful perspective can be life-changing.
If you got a yes,
You're welcome to follow up with that.
Inner voice,
Why are you worried?
But those no's are very,
Very common to receive from all the clients I've ever worked with,
And seeing the answers they receive to why the inner voice is not worried is one of the most life-changing,
Perception-shifting answers that anyone ever gets.
And again,
Many more questions,
Feel free to ask way more questions that I'm giving you.
I'm just trying to touch on many aspects that I thought the mind might want to have clarity about in a general way.
Now we move on.
How can I best support the people who are affected by this experience?
So of course,
I'm sure there's a part of you that wants to support the people affected,
Whether it's your family member,
Whether it's someone in your community,
Whether it's your country,
Whether it's a human on the planet and you want to support them,
Ask inner voice,
How can I best support the people who are,
Maybe it's animals,
Maybe it's not even people,
But how can I best support those who are affected by this experience?
And exhale,
Exhale.
Your mind might be feeling hopeless,
It might be feeling helpless,
But just ask inner voice,
How can I best support the people who are affected by this experience?
And listen.
Okay,
Again,
Many more questions,
You're welcome to ask to follow up on that train of thought,
But moving forward,
Inner voice,
Do you want me to support by giving money to a cause related to this issue?
So inner voice,
Do you want me to support by giving money to a cause related to this issue?
And then exhale.
Do you want to give to a charity?
Do you want to give to the friend?
Do you want to do something monetarily to support those related to this issue?
And exhale.
If you get a yes,
Feel free to ask which charity or how to find the charity or supporting person or avenue that's best,
Ask how to find it or which one.
And if you get a no to supporting monetarily,
Ask why not?
Inner voice,
Why not?
Why are we not going to support through money?
Either way is a perfectly fine answer,
But you might as well know from this peaceful,
Wise place within yourself.
Okay,
Now,
Inner voice,
Do you want me to support by donating my time,
Effort,
Or talent to a cause related to this issue?
So instead of money,
This question's asking about donating your time,
Effort,
Your actions,
Or talent to a cause related to this issue.
If yes,
Which thing?
What would you like me to do?
Would you like me to donate time,
Effort,
Or talent?
Which would you like me to do and how and where?
If you get a no,
Ask why not?
Now this,
As you re-listen to this meditation for different tragic events,
May be a different answer.
Obviously,
Every question will have different answers to different topics,
But especially here,
It will be really specific to the situation you're currently looking at.
Again,
As always,
Ask more questions on these specific avenues if needed,
But moving forward,
Inner voice,
Do you want me to support by sharing information on social media or in my personal network related to this issue?
So do you want me to tell people about it on social media or in my personal network,
Maybe at work or to my family or my friends?
Exhale and listen from that peaceful,
Still place in your belly or your chest.
Do you want me to support by sharing information on social media or in my personal network related to the issue?
If you got a yes to that inner voice,
How can I best share and what can I best share?
Ask that and listen.
If you got a no to support by sharing information on social media or personal network,
Ask why not?
Personally,
I can speak to this question.
In the past,
I've asked my inner voice the same question and I've received no at a time very specifically where I deeply wanted in the mind to do something and hearing the answer to why not was one of those shifts that I truly personally needed because the mind of me desperately wanted to react in a way of sharing information on social media or personal network and my inner voice did not want to take action and then I was presented with the wisdom within myself and what it wanted to do versus what my mind wanted to do.
It was,
I have to be honest,
Very,
Very,
Very uncomfortable for my mind to follow my inner voice but I knew that by not following my inner voice,
I wouldn't be doing ultimately what I want most which is to show that it's possible to follow your inner voice so I did follow my inner voice but it was certainly not easy hearing that no to sharing information on social media or in my personal network related to the issue.
So again,
Asking why not to anything that you feel heavy resistance in the mind to is quite transformative for your mind.
Okay,
Now we have inner voice,
Would you like me to follow news,
Social media or other information outlets about this event?
Exhale.
Inner voice,
Would you like me to follow news,
Social media or other information outlets about this event?
Just exhale and listen.
What does your inner voice want you to do about the information people are presenting on the issue?
Inner voice,
Do you want me to follow that stuff or not?
If yes,
Which information outlets do you want me to follow?
And if you got a yes to this,
If yes,
How frequently do you want me to check new information?
This is something that our minds do repetitively and very frequently that may not be how the inner voice would approach the situation so please ask there.
If yes,
Which information outlets do you want me to follow?
And if yes,
How frequently do you want me to seek the new information and check?
Very insightful on this one.
And if no,
If you would not like me to follow news,
Social media or other information outlets about the event,
Why not?
Inner voice,
Why don't you want me to be following the information on this event specifically?
Okay,
There you have it my friends,
This is my suggested set of starter questions on tragic events.
As I mentioned,
Feel free to come back to this for any event that ever comes up and have the courage to listen and exhale and write down the answers you receive.
Oftentimes on tragic events,
They will not,
The answers you receive,
Especially coming from this peaceful place and you may not be feeling very peaceful,
May be different to what your mind feels on the subject.
So just ask many,
Many questions and all of this will be much easier to listen to and hear and come back to when those beanbags are released.
So by all means,
Go over to the tough emotions meditation and release as often as needed.
And you could even come back to this meditation and answer the questions again after days later,
Releasing more emotions on the topic.
You might get even greater clarity or be able to hear even clearer answers than you were in the first place.
Until next time,
May something wonderful happen to you.
