Namaste.
Welcome to In the Flow with Lori Albert.
Before we begin everything today,
I'm going to do a card pull.
I have my deck of Archangel Michael Oracle cards,
The Doreen Virtue ones.
Archangel Michael is really so special to me.
But I thought,
You know what,
Because of the way that the energy has been in the world,
I think I need to pull a card.
On the other day,
I don't remember what day it was,
But the other day I had a situation and I wanted to pull a card for myself and I was like,
Hold on,
You know,
Maybe it was wrong because it said,
Let it go.
Right?
So I pull another card,
I shake,
I shuffled the deck and I pull another card asking a similar question,
But you know,
Around the bend kind of thing.
And the first question and I got the exact same card that said,
Let it go.
So I was like,
Okay,
Maybe I just need to let this situation go.
But that is kind of like how I feel about like life right now.
Right?
We need to just ride this wave.
But anyway,
I'm going to pick a card for all of us today.
Picking a card.
Oh,
This is so cool.
This is the card.
This is my Archangel Michael deck.
And this is what I chose.
And this is for all of us.
Go forward fearlessly.
And the prayer is,
Thank you for walking with me every step of the way and holding my hand,
Giving me confidence and courage and guiding my thoughts and actions in the directions of love and my true life's purpose.
How perfect is that?
How perfect is that?
Right?
And really interestingly,
It goes with the quote that in a sense,
It goes with the quote that I wanted to talk about today.
You know,
I always look for new and fun things to talk about and or,
And or,
You know,
Just a new quote or something from somebody interesting.
And I swear Russell Brand is an interesting dude.
You know,
He is so interesting.
And I found this quote by Russell Brand.
Who knew?
Right?
This is his quote.
It's so fascinating.
Some of it is like,
But okay,
Well anyway,
This is his quote.
It's difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction.
You are in fact,
Part of the glorious oneness of the universe.
Everything beautiful in the world is within you.
Whoa,
I was like,
That like blew my mind.
Wow.
We are part,
This is,
He's saying you are part of the glorious oneness of the universe.
And everything is beautiful in the world is within you.
That's like,
It's so mind boggling because so much has been happening in the world lately,
You know,
Good,
Bad,
Indifferent.
There's so much division,
Right?
In the world,
Not just our country,
But in the world,
Right?
And we are all one if you really look at it.
And it's not just,
And I don't mean it in a political way.
I mean it in a cosmic way,
In the universal way.
We are all humans just trying to make it.
Don't you love that?
Oh my gosh.
I find that to be so,
Just so beautiful,
You know,
And you know,
There are so many people like on Facebook that I've been known forever,
Right?
And we differ politically and emotionally,
Religiously.
And you know what?
That's all okay.
Like I have this newfound thing today because of this quote,
Right?
I have this newfound thing today that it's all,
It's okay that we think,
That you think this way and I think this way.
That's hard to say,
Especially right now,
Right?
With everything going on.
But when you consider that we are all one in this universe,
I still,
I love,
I love every single person,
You know?
So interesting thought for today,
Right?
Totally interesting thought.
So and that kind of also then,
Of course,
Goes with my mantra that we're going to do.
And so yeah,
Let's get this,
Let's get meditation started,
Okay?
So let's get ourselves comfortable.
Sit back in your chair.
It's getting to be blankie weather.
Grab your blankie and get yourself really comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Let's take a nice deep breath in through your nose.
And release.
Awesome.
Let's do that again.
Let's take another deep,
Deep breath in really slow and deep.
Allowing the air to go to every cell in our bodies.
And release.
Awesome.
Beautiful.
So today,
Our mantra is one we've used before.
And it is,
So Hum.
So Hum.
And basically what that means is,
I am that.
And it's really not just about I am the universe.
I mean,
It is that,
Right?
But what this really means is,
Is that this mantra,
So Hum,
Can help us to go from restriction and constriction to freedom.
Freedom in our minds,
Freedom in our hearts.
I am that.
I am the universe.
We are all the universe.
So that leads me to,
What are you grateful for today?
What are you absolutely grateful for today?
That you have a relaxing weekend that you can be grateful for?
That you see new people,
Do something new,
Take on a new hobby?
What are you grateful for?
Are you grateful that today's Monday?
I actually am thrilled that today is Monday,
The beginning of a new thing.
Now you may be listening to this on a Wednesday or Friday,
But it's all a new beginning.
If we choose it to be.
And as we get ready to sit in the silence,
Let's consider the fact that we are all one in this world.
And we are all the beauty of the oneness.
So Hum,
I am that.
If you start to have thoughts,
That's absolutely okay.
Just sort of swish them to the side.
And allow yourself to get back to the mantra,
So Hum.
And I will keep the time,
Of course.
And let's begin.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
So Hum.
You can release the mantra now.
Start bringing your awareness back to your body and the chair you're sitting in.
Let's take a nice deep breath in.
And release.
Knowing that we did this together.
We are one.
We are all one.
And you are everything beautiful in the world.
When you feel comfortable you can open your eyes.
Awesome.
So go through today knowing that you are beautiful.
I love that.
I hope that puts a smile on your face.
Alright everybody,
Thank you so much for joining today.
I love you all.
Until next time,
Namaste everybody.
