Moving Through Fear and Setting Boundaries

In this episode, I will talk about moving through fear and setting boundaries with the Archangel Michael. Episode aired March 17, 2017.

Transcript

Hi,

Friends.

Welcome back to the Heavenly Hug podcast with me,

Gladys Allen.

This month I'll be talking about moving through fear and setting boundaries with the archangel Michael.

Hi,

Friends.

I'm super excited to talk about my special friend today,

The archangel Michael.

Moving through fears and setting boundaries is a really big part of this journey.

The archangel Michael was the first archangel that was introduced to me.

I was told that he was the angel of protection.

He helps us to move through fears.

He's the patron saint of military and law enforcement.

He's really one of the archangels that sits the closest to the throne.

Over my time doing this work,

My relationship with Michael has developed.

What I see him as is a guardian of light.

Anybody who has chosen this path,

Anybody who is working in the light,

We're talking about teachers and nurses and social workers and caregivers,

And anybody who is serving to help people,

Michael has taken a special liking to working with you because he knows it's not always easy to do this work,

To be the advocate for the underdog,

To be the one that has to rise up and help the sick and stand up for the people who can't help themselves.

Michael works with leaders.

He works with the powers that be.

He is the angel of fairness and justice.

There's a reason why he carries the sword.

He doesn't always go out looking to slay,

Quote unquote,

Dragons,

But it's not without the free will that comes to us.

He's kind of like our defender,

Our guardian.

Eons ago,

He stood on the battlefield and made sure that whatever was happening on the battlefield was fair and just.

As I say often is angels abide by the law of free will.

They cannot intervene into our lives unless we're asking.

I can't stress enough how important it is to invite them into your life.

Now,

This doesn't mean by inviting them in your life,

You're going to open up this gateway or this door and you're going to start seeing spirit and energy and things like that in the middle of the night.

Now,

That doesn't work for me.

It doesn't happen to me like that.

It's a choice.

I set a boundaries.

Maybe it does happen to some people,

But for me,

This has kind of opened up a new world for me.

Like I said,

The Archangel Michael was the first archangel that I was told about.

I remember when I was introduced to Archangel Michael,

I was the person who would go to the mall at night.

And if I couldn't find a parking spot close to the door,

I would drive out and leave.

That's how much anxiety I had about being out at night.

I had lots of fears.

There were a lot of things that I wouldn't do because I was afraid of this or I was afraid of that.

And so Archangel Michael was the first angel that was introduced into my life.

And he really kind of helped me open up to this new world of not being afraid.

So many people,

Places,

Things and ideas came into my life.

And I've kind of developed this relationship with him.

As I've said to people,

I kind of have a crush on him.

He's one of those archangels that is always close by my side.

I'm always calling on him,

Asking for his assistance.

And I remember a long time ago when I first started working with him,

Giving him permission to just intervene in my life any way that he saw fit.

I remember saying,

Archangel Michael,

I ask that you just protect me.

I ask that you keep me safe.

And then things would happen,

Like a car accident or I don't know,

Little things would happen.

And I remember thinking,

Michael,

Where were you?

And the lesson in that was I was giving my power away.

I was giving my power in a way of saying,

You run my life.

You take control of my life.

And it was kind of one of those lessons that I learned that every day,

My choices and my opinions and my actions are going to change.

And so my free will is to be able to invite him in during those instances.

So the Archangel Michael's color is an indigo color.

So masculine energy,

Law enforcement,

Military,

And that tends to resonate with the royal blue part of him.

And then spiritual people and feminine energy tend to resonate with the royal purple part of Michael.

And so I remember at the time when I was introduced to Archangel Michael,

I wasn't aware of what color he was.

And I remember laying in my bed at night and saying,

Archangel Michael,

Please come to me.

Show me what you look like.

And I think I was just waiting for the sky to open up.

I think I was waiting for this ball of light to just come into my room in the middle of the night and him to say,

Hey,

It's me,

Michael.

And I think back now,

And I'm so glad he didn't do that because that would have scared the heck out of me.

I probably would have ran out of my room and never would have touched this again.

But what I did realize that after taking a class about the Archangels,

I realized that Archangel Michael's color was purple.

And I remember going home that night and looking around my room and my curtains were purple,

My comforter was purple,

My pillowcases were purple.

I had trinkets and lamps and things all around my room that was purple.

And I kind of laughed that here I was calling on the Archangel Michael,

Asking him to present himself to me.

But yeah,

I was filling my room with his color,

His energy.

And so I share these things as a way to show you that there's other ways to connect.

There's other ways for their energy to be more real to us.

It takes an incredible amount of energy for them to manifest.

And yes,

There are people out there who see angels and manifest in that form.

And I am in awe of them because that has yet to happen for me,

But yet I feel them.

I can sense them.

I know their energy is there.

And then also to another sign that Archangel Michael has is sirens.

So when he's present and he's around,

He'll send fire trucks and ambulances and cop cars and even car alarms.

And the siren energy reminds me that when you're in that place of fear and you see those emergency responders or you hear the sirens,

It means help's on the way that you're not alone.

And it's so symbolic the way he comes into me in that way because emergency responders do not know that there is an emergency unless somebody has called for help,

Unless somebody's called for 911.

So sometimes when we hear those sirens,

It's a reminder to say,

Hey,

I know you're in this fear and you're not alone.

Call on me.

Invite me in for this assistance.

So if you are in a company right now and your job is challenged and the powers that be are taking advantage of their power,

Invite the Archangel Michael into your company,

Into your job.

Ask him to work with the powers that be.

So whatever changes are made are made for the greatest good.

Send Archangel Michael to our political figures.

Send Archangel Michael to your household.

Send him to whoever's making decisions in your family.

Ask him to work with them to help us all to move through this fear so that we can continue to make the best decisions.

So I say I was in a place of this fear where I wouldn't even get gas at night.

I remember driving home many nights on fumes,

Praying that the next morning I would make it to the gas station.

And now here I am in my business 10 years later,

Maybe 15 years later with starting this work.

Since I've jumped out of an airplane in Sedona,

Arizona,

I've fire walked with a group with Tony Robbins.

I've jumped off the Motha's Vineyard Bridge,

Which was probably the scariest of them all.

And I seem to,

It's not about being a daredevil,

But it's a matter for me of using physical things to push through fear.

And I feel that if I can put my feet on those hot coals,

Or I can muster up the courage to jump off that bridge and be safe and have an amazing experience.

If I can sky dive with,

Of course,

Somebody,

A professional with me,

I feel like I can do anything.

And I feel like Archangel Michael helps me to kind of move and navigate through this fear.

So ever since I left that job at the law firm,

I've been uncomfortable.

And I've just had to learn how to be comfortable,

Uncomfortable.

So I don't get a paycheck from a company.

I don't get sick days.

I don't get time off.

And I'm certainly not complaining because there's a lot of freedom that comes with it.

But all of this quality of life and living and sustainability has kind of fallen on my shoulders.

And then I need to be proactive and I need to go out and I need to listen to my heart and I need to kind of forge forward in order to be able to continue this lifestyle.

And so Archangel Michael is always the angel that I call on to kind of pave the way for me.

So he works with leaders when you feel like,

Not just leaders,

Many people,

When you feel like you're being plopped off in an Amazon forest,

When you feel like the world is against you and you don't know which way to turn.

When you invite Michael in,

It's like he comes in with his sword and shields and he starts to pave a path for you.

Leaders,

We're paving our own paths.

We're moving forward in the road less traveled.

We're starting things that have never been done before.

We don't know where we're going with it or how it's going to morph.

Archangel Michael's assigned to be with us,

To help us shine our light in the world,

To be able to be an inspiration,

To make our dreams come true,

So that we can encourage other people to do the same.

I believe we all have talents.

I believe we all have dreams and we all have goals and we all have the abilities to shine our light.

And Archangel Michael is the one that really helps us to stay in the light.

And I think it's a very important topic because as I've mentioned before that the more you want,

The more things need to shift and change.

I kind of look at myself like,

Man,

Just when I think things are settled,

Just when I've got that relationship or just when the family's going well,

Just when the career is going well,

Just when I'm going well personally,

Something else happens.

And I kind of sometimes feel a little deflated,

But I'm like,

You know what?

That's because I want more.

Not in an unselfish way,

Not in an unsatisfied way because I'm very satisfied with what I have.

But I feel like it's the ability to be able to really reach those higher levels of your dreams come true.

I was watching this show on Netflix called Chef's Table.

And one of the chefs had said,

If your dreams aren't bigger than this lifetime,

Then your dreams aren't big enough.

And forgive me,

I'll write a note in what his name was and what episode it was.

But it really struck me when I listened to that.

And I was like,

Wow,

If your dreams aren't bigger than this lifetime,

Then your dreams are big enough.

And I realized that for a long time,

My dreams were small.

My dreams were just to get by.

My dreams were,

Let me just pay my bills this month.

My dreams and my hopes were,

Let me make sure I pay rent or let me make sure I get gas in my car.

And then I started to realize that this energy is always with me.

It's always supporting me.

Michaels has helped me do some amazing things.

I've connected with the most outstanding,

Wonderful people that I could imagine.

I've learned from the best teachers and the best mentors.

That doesn't come without some type of help from the divine.

That doesn't come without some type of force working with you.

When I say God,

Source,

Creator,

Universe,

Whatever the energy is for you.

And I feel like I am where I am because of this power,

Because of this force that's been working with me.

Maybe God knew that I was going to be this scared little girl afraid of the world who is just going to spread her wings and shine her light and make her dreams come true.

I think now about the dreams that I have and the things that I'm working towards.

I'm looking at a multi-million dollar estate and opening up this spiritual retreat center and being able to share this information with people and really help awaken the love vibration on the planet.

And we're not talking about this spiritual fluff or this foofy stuff.

We're talking about the stuff that people like Oprah and Tony Robbins and Joel Osteen,

They have really taken their dreams and really used their support system and magnified that.

Why can't we do the same?

Why does it have to be someone special?

I've used Archangel Michael or I've asked him to assist with me to open the doors,

To bring the right people into my life,

To help me shine my life.

I've really believed in this moment in time,

The world needs inspiration.

I believe that the world needs people who are doing it,

The people who are living their best life.

Because really,

If clients are coming into me and students are coming in and they're sitting down with me and they're looking at me and my life is a mess and I'm all over the place,

They're going to look at me and say,

How is this working for her?

And if it's not working for her,

How is it going to work for me?

So I feel like we have this responsibility to be an inspiration to be really our authentic selves.

And as I talk about,

I don't hide the fact that I've had challenges.

I don't hide the fact that I make a lot of mistakes and I don't always get it right,

But I always have learned from it and I've always persevered and I've always overcome.

And don't get me wrong,

There are some times that I've walked into situations and I've looked up at God and said,

Dear God,

Don't let me down.

This is a big one.

I remember one of the first groups that I did for a mediumship group,

There was supposed to be 12 people who had signed up for this event.

And as I'm getting ready,

I'm like,

I can handle 12,

12 is okay.

And I'm like,

All right,

God,

I ask you for you to be with me.

Michael,

Just help me move through the worries and fears.

And I'm there at this event and all of a sudden people just keeps showing up and showing up and showing up.

And the next thing I know they're bringing in chairs and people are sitting outside the table.

And at that point,

I think 25 people had showed up.

And I remember being so afraid,

Like,

Oh my God,

How am I going to read all these people?

Everybody's here for a loved one or a connection or proof.

And it was like one of my first big events.

And I thought,

Excuse me,

I thought to myself,

I could ask to go to the bathroom and leave and never come back,

Which was a thought.

Or I could really say,

This is a time to practice what I preach.

This is a time to really put that fear aside,

Pick up the courage and being able to really move forward with this.

And I have to say it was probably one of the best events I've ever done over the years.

And when I left there,

I remember thinking,

Dear God,

This is why I do what I do.

This is why I'm here.

This is my passion.

This is my calling.

And it was kind of like an awakening for me.

Now that doesn't mean every time I sit in front of a group,

I get anxiety,

I get butterflies in my stomach.

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

And for me,

It's almost like,

Okay,

I'm getting ready to kick into that energy.

Okay,

It's spirit getting ready to work with me and work in that vibration.

And so I've learned to recognize it.

And so I can't say the fear ever really goes away.

But what Michael does is he helps you to kind of move through it.

He's your protection.

He's your light.

He'll come into your life and show you.

And I remember there were points when I talked to my mother about this and I remember for a long time,

She would say,

Oh,

Well,

This works for you.

Ask your angels to help me or ask them to give me some help over here.

And she'll tell me about times when she's asked.

There was one time she was worried about something.

It was a fear,

Probably money or something on her mind.

And she told me that she looked up and said,

Michael,

I'm afraid.

Help me through this.

And she hears the sirens in the distance.

And she knew immediately,

She said it was like a weight that was being lifted off her shoulders and a light had come in and she knew that she had nothing to worry about.

So I like concrete,

Real facts,

Things that I can document.

I like to see license plates that I can take pictures for.

I like to have an experience and have these sirens come in.

So I'm here to kind of teach you these things so that you know that,

You know,

God understands you're walking alone.

God understands that,

You know,

You're walking through this blindly,

You know,

And He knows that you need a little bit more than spiritual fluff.

You know,

He knows you need a little bit more than,

Hey,

I feel like this is happening or I feel like this is the right thing.

You know,

We need to see and fear and hear these doors opening.

And,

You know,

As we move forward and,

You know,

We're setting boundaries for ourselves and we're growing and we're shifting and we're changing.

The Archangel Michael is the one that's going to step forward.

You know,

I kind of say,

You know,

He's probably a little bit of my favorite,

You know,

He's obviously one of my coworkers,

You know,

As I said,

He sits closest to the throne and,

You know,

He is this,

You know,

This bright light that comes in to really help us,

Like I said,

Move through the fear so that we're,

You know,

We're,

I don't know,

Feeling that feeling of being alive and awake and alert and aware.

You know,

Fear is a part of life.

You know,

Some people,

You know,

Get better at managing it,

Managing it.

And,

You know,

As we grow into this new energy that we're in,

As we are being called on to be an inspiration,

You know,

I believe God has strategically placed us in positions,

In families,

In jobs to help the people that are around us.

You know,

We could certainly run from them.

We could certainly,

You know,

Avoid them.

But it's time for us to really kind of rise into being the true leaders,

You know,

And like I said,

It doesn't come without fear.

It doesn't come without,

Am I doing the right thing?

Am I helping people?

Am I supporting,

You know,

People in the right way?

Am I helping myself?

You know,

So,

You know,

I believe Archangel Michael is one of the,

You know,

First,

You know,

If you're new at this,

To call on and ask for his assistance.

And,

You know,

You know,

I wanted to talk more about the fears in this podcast.

The next one,

We're going to talk more about like setting boundaries with him and,

You know,

Setting boundaries with people in our lives because our boundaries are being tested right now.

But I can't be passionate enough about this Archangel,

You know,

You know,

You can ask him in your mind,

You can call out to him,

You can imagine yourself in that purple light,

You know,

I wouldn't recommend leaving your house without that bubble of light.

You know,

I remember,

You know,

Going to work and surrounding myself and my car and imagining that purple light and that energy radiating out everywhere I go.

And I imagine it was like Michael's like my bumpers and like my buffers and,

You know,

The energy that was coming towards me would just kind of be deflected so that I could,

You know,

Be this strong,

Powerful,

Successful,

Confident person that I knew was inside of me,

You know.

So,

You know,

It's because of Michael that I believe I am the person that I am today.

It's because of this support,

It's because of this friendship,

It's because of this power,

You know,

That I feel works with all of us who are in this light.

You know,

So I encourage you to,

You know,

Invite him in your life,

Ask for his assistance,

You know,

I promise you he won't stir you wrong.

And so that's the end of this portion of this show.

And in a moment,

We'll be right back with my producer Ben with his Q&A.

Hey everyone,

I'm Life Coach Glenn Ambrose.

Check out my podcast,

Life Lessons and Laughter,

Every other Sunday on iTunes and at life-enhancement-services.

Com.

And welcome back.

And now we have questions from Ben.

Hi,

Thanks,

Gladys.

Excited to be back.

All right,

So I have been taking notes and I'm excited.

I got,

You know,

Michael's the angel of protection and military and law and the guardian of light and the defender and guardian,

The law of,

They all abide by the law of free will and all of that stuff.

And that leads me to my first question,

Which is you mentioned giving power away.

We have to give the power away for the angels to help us and to affect us and everything.

I feel like that is a common thing that people say to people,

Not necessarily regarding the angels,

But like just,

You know,

Give it up to God or whatever,

You know,

Realize that you're not in control,

Ask for help.

And so I was just wondering,

Do you think that that's a big thing of just acknowledging,

Like when there's a problem,

Acknowledge that there's a problem and acknowledge that you can't,

Maybe you can't do it yourself or you can't expect to be able to solve the situation yourself.

Is that,

Am I accurate on that?

Yeah,

Absolutely.

You know,

And the power thing,

You're right.

It was almost like,

Don't give my power away.

We're expecting Michael to take over my life,

You know,

Because he certainly wasn't going to do that.

Right.

But I feel like that's what a lot of us do in life.

And this is where I was coming from that place of fix me,

Save me,

Change me,

Make me better.

I was looking for people to tell me what to do.

I was looking for people to fix my life for me,

You know,

And by inviting Archangel Michael in,

He was saying,

You have the power,

You have the strength,

You have the abilities,

And I'm here with you and I'm going to show you,

I'm going to open up the doors for you.

I'm going to empower you,

You know,

And that's exactly it.

It's like,

You know,

How many times in our lives have we just given up and we're like,

That's it.

I just don't,

We've given up the control and like,

I just don't know what else to do,

You know,

And then boom,

Some miracle happens or something changes.

It's like,

Once we invite that energy in or once we open up,

We have to remember that,

You know,

This power,

This energy around us is all seeing and all knowing.

Right.

And so they have the ability to,

To,

To shift things in ways that we couldn't,

We couldn't even imagine.

Right.

And so we have the ability to limit things,

You know,

And through our energy and through our,

You know,

Through our need to control and wanting things to happen a certain way,

You know,

I could have,

You know,

I remember when I started my business and I just started in my hairdresser or was washing my hair at the time and she's like,

Oh,

I'm so happy for you.

She's like,

You know,

She's like,

I just want to tell you,

You know,

You got to give it three to five years.

You know,

That's how it longs it takes to get a business up and running and blah,

Blah,

Blah.

I remember thinking in my head,

I don't have three,

Five years.

This needs to happen like now,

You know,

Now here I am in my 10th year and I get it.

And I could see that everything,

Um,

Every experience,

Every challenge that I had along the way was teaching me about my power was making things just enough comfortable enough so that I could open up to the energy and saying,

Show me the next step.

And I have to say,

This was an easy process.

I fought them along the way.

I kept saying like,

I'm in control and I know what I'm doing.

And when it got really bad,

I realized I have no idea what I'm doing.

Right.

And so I opened up to that energy,

But I think we all have to get to that point where we're ready to relinquish control.

And that doesn't mean they're controlling our lives.

What they're doing is they just want to help us.

It's like having a support system and a team who is knowledgeable.

It's kind of like you guys,

You know,

When Ben and Dave come in,

We were just kind of talking about the,

The,

Like the mechanics of running a podcast and the behind the scenes stuff.

And I,

And I remember,

I just said to them like,

Well,

Thank God I don't have to do this stuff,

You know,

But this is part of the support that the angels do too.

They know and are tech savvy,

You know,

About our lives and the things that we need.

So opening up to that support can help us really propel in our power and in our life.

I've always considered Dave to be like an archangel.

So,

Um,

So Dave is behind the scenes here and Dave saying at Fenway Park.

And I just found out he's saying at Fenway Park.

And I think that's the coolest thing ever.

Um,

At the seventh inning,

Um,

And you know,

It's just,

You just never know who you're working with.

You never know who God sends along your way.

You know,

Here we are just people of the people out here doing our work,

Doing incredible,

Amazing things.

And then what Dave did was he left Fenway Park and then he went back to his life.

He was like on top of the world.

And then you go back to your life and you do human things.

Right.

And this is what like life is like,

You know,

You have these incredible experiences and then you go back to being human again,

You know?

So I think that's the coolest part of life.

Um,

Definitely.

Thanks for the plug.

I'll thank you on behalf of Dave.

Uh,

If you're,

If you're interested,

His name is Dave D Angeles,

You can check it out.

We'll put it in the show notes or something.

Um,

He probably won't do that because he does the show notes.

Uh,

Anyway,

So,

Um,

I think that expectations are a big,

Are a big deal when,

Um,

And not necessarily to me limiting expectations,

But understanding what your expectations are versus reality.

And when you're giving up that power or you're asking for it,

Uh,

Like you said that you were sitting in your bed waiting for the sky to open up because you were asking for him to reveal himself.

And you know,

What you were really noticing eventually was that you were slowly surrounding yourself with this color,

Um,

That provided this positive energy that is related to what you were asking.

And,

Um,

So I think that like the expectation of giving it up and giving up power and realizing that you're not in control.

Um,

And then you're still working through whatever the situation is,

You know,

Like in,

In that scenario,

What I got from it,

And I could be wrong,

Was that,

Um,

You were asking for something and you were receiving it through your own works that you didn't even understand were what you were doing were the answers to what you were asking for.

Absolutely.

And that's,

That's why they say like,

God works in mysterious ways and you know,

He's all seeing and all knowing,

You know,

And it's not necessarily giving up power,

But more of giving up control,

You know,

Giving up the control of I am,

I can,

I'm going to do it my way and this is going to happen,

You know,

Because what they taught me was that there can be other ways.

So I thought the only way to really connect with the Archangel Michael was to physically see him.

Now I know clairvoyance isn't my dominant sense.

You know,

I'm more of a see a feeling and a knowing kind of person,

Right?

And so here I am being guided to buy all these things and I have this connection with this color that I have no idea why or where it even comes from.

And then realizing that I've been asking this angel to kind of come into my life,

It was kind of like,

Like a lesson for me to say,

Especially as a teacher that,

You know,

This energy is going to come in many different ways.

It's not going to be just,

You know,

The way you want it,

You know,

And it would certainly be nice.

You know how many times people have said to me and I've said to myself,

Why can't God just tell us this is the next step or why can't God just tell us you need to talk to this person or because it takes away the lessons.

It takes away from the human experience that part of being and having this free will to learn.

You know,

I say often that life is about experience.

Good,

Bad,

Or indifferent,

We're here to learn.

We're here to experience.

Like,

You know,

As we talk about Dave's experience at Fenway and,

You know,

People making life changes and people,

You know,

Finding true love or,

You know,

Going on a roller coaster for the first time.

You know,

These are all experiences that,

You know,

They don't necessarily get to have on the other side.

You know,

We have here on this planet.

So literally,

Like,

They're,

I don't want to say they're living through us,

But,

You know,

Through our joy,

Through our happiness,

Through our experiences of fun and laughter,

They're appreciating that energy and they want to bring more of that to us because happy people let people go at stop signs.

Happy people help people in grocery stores.

Happy people,

You know,

Follow the rules of the road or want to help other people or,

You know,

Stop to comfort or support or teach,

Inspire others.

You know,

Negative,

Sad,

Difficult people don't want to do necessarily those things,

But that's what the world needs,

You know?

So really,

You know,

They come into our lives so that they can bring us joy and when we feel good,

The people around us feel good.

And when they feel good,

The people around them feel good.

And when they feel good,

The people around,

So really peace on earth starts right here with us.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's a fantastic answer.

So I have two more quick questions.

One is very on topic and one not so much.

So this episode was,

Was mainly about breaking through fear.

Yeah.

And something that you said about like jumping out of the airplane in Sedona,

Arizona or jumping off the Martha's Vineyard Bridge,

Fire walking with Tony Robbins.

Those are,

Do you think that like setting yourself up for,

For small victories to build your confidence is important to overcoming fear?

Absolutely.

You know,

Like,

Um,

I'm not saying everybody needs to jump out of a plane or fire walk in order to overcome fear.

Because I wasn't going to,

Um,

But I can be a little bit of an extremist,

But for me it was kind of like,

Okay,

If I can do this.

And I have to say,

I found myself in those situations.

I didn't seek it out.

You know,

Um,

The Tony Robbins thing actually kind of fell into my lap and it all worked out.

I wanted to go,

But I didn't think I would be able to in a roundabout way.

I ended up there.

The Martha's Vineyard thing I had jumping off that bridge.

I had no idea about it until I saw,

Ironically,

My old,

Um,

Um,

Financial planner,

Uh,

And life insurance guy.

And he said,

Hey,

It's so cool that you're here.

You got to check this out.

And I thought it was ironic that my old life insurance guy was telling me to jump off this bridge,

You know?

And so I went and I checked it out.

And I remember standing up there for like five minutes,

Shaking like a leaf thinking,

Oh my God,

What am I doing?

You know?

And,

Um,

And the same thing with the fire walk,

You know,

I missed it the first time they said to go.

So,

So you find yourself in these situations of fear.

Same thing with working at that,

Um,

Um,

That,

Uh,

Mediumship group.

Um,

And it's like,

God kind of gives you these little tests to say,

I'm here with you.

I know you can do it now.

Oh,

Of course we always want to be safe,

You know?

And I researched the skydiving and I researched,

You know,

All these things and,

You know,

I,

I,

You know,

I watched and,

You know,

I'm not saying live your life recklessly at all.

I'm just saying for me,

These things helped me to overcome the fears of,

Of at one point not even being able to go outside in the dark.

Right.

So,

Uh,

And you know,

It's obviously we're not telling people to go jump out of planes,

But,

Um,

But,

Uh,

I'm not doing it.

Um,

But the,

Uh,

You know,

If,

If you're really afraid,

If there's something big you're afraid of and you don't feel like you have the confidence to do it,

Um,

Maybe take something smaller that you're afraid of,

Like,

Uh,

Having an uncomfortable conversation that you've been avoiding and get through it.

And then once you're on the other side of that,

You realize,

Oh,

That wasn't that bad.

Maybe I could do this other thing.

Those are the types of things that I'm talking about.

And that's how it worked for me.

So we're talking about these extreme things have,

What have been like over time,

You know,

It wasn't something that I did right off the bat.

It was like now I'm like eight years,

Nine years into doing this work,

10 years until doing this,

Like working with the angels.

Um,

And so exactly that it's like,

You want to take those small steps and you want to,

You know,

Face those fears that are hard,

But wait for the doors to open,

Wait for things to come in alignment,

Ask God to show you what the next step is,

Ask God to show you how,

You know,

And the next thing you know,

You'll be in front of that person having the conversation without even really being prepared for it,

You know,

And that's how it works,

You know,

By inviting them in,

It's like they're making you stronger.

You know,

I feel like we're out here like God's storm troopers,

You know,

And we're going through the boot camp and we're going through,

You know,

The challenges of the experiences so that when we're really needed,

We're there to help people.

And that's really the root of all this.

We do this and I do this work so that I can help people live their best lives so that I can show people what more life has to offer rather than the paying the bills and you know,

Going to school and you know,

Doing these things of,

Of the human life that we have to do that there's,

There's more to it and they can help us.

Um,

My last question was,

I don't think we have time for it.

Um,

It was a little off topic,

But everything that you said about,

Um,

Michael and the colors,

Uh,

Could we at some point,

Um,

Delve a little deeper into,

Uh,

The,

The,

The deal with colors and,

And why they have meaning and what they,

You know,

Cause I think that that is something that a listener of this show in this podcast might've,

You know,

We talked a lot about purple and blues and,

And,

And what the significant meanings of that are.

And there's a lot of stuff,

You know,

We talked about that a little bit with Ariel in the last,

So I think that that might be helpful.

Um,

Obviously I don't think that we have enough time to go through it right now,

But,

Um,

I thought that that was something that people listening to this episode might be more curious about.

Yeah.

And that's a good question.

It's funny.

So,

So Ben refuses to tell me what the questions are before he asks.

So when I'm answering this question,

I'm told these questions,

I'm totally on the spot.

So the short of it is color is just another vehicle.

It's another way,

Just like numbers and just like,

Um,

You know,

Feelings and senses,

You know,

I was saying earlier that,

You know,

When Michael's around the room heats up and when I was done with that first segment,

I was like sweaty,

I was hot and I was like,

All right,

Michael,

I know you're here.

So some people resonate with color more like,

Let's say,

Um,

It's more of a visual thing as opposed to maybe they're not really into the feeling and the knowing thing.

So I recognized right away that I was hot.

You know what I mean?

Some people might recognize the color more.

So,

So they give you many different avenues to connect.

It doesn't have to be one thing.

Um,

But that's kind of the long of the short of it.

Awesome.
