Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in today. I hope you're having a spectacular summer and that you're having a lot of fun and great times with your family or with yourself or with whoever you share your life. So today I want to share with you a really amazing experience that I've had and how I ground myself when I feel myself spinning and feel myself getting out of control or too emotional or too depressed or something where I feel so overwhelmed with emotions and I need to feel grounded. So I'm going to share with you something really awesome that I've done that has really helped me not just ground myself but also feel very very connected to my core. But first I want to say that I've had a really great summer. I went to Mexico. I'm having a lot of family time. I've been enjoying vacations with my family, Spending more time with my son, And I've decided to take the summer off and not do a lot of podcasts but I will be back recording more in September. Today's episode was inspired because July is my spiritual birthday so the week of July 11th through July 16th is a really great time for me because a lot of transformation happened for me in my life a few years ago during this time and so I've declared my birthday to be this entire week my spiritual birthday. I do have a real birthday later but I call this my spiritual birthday because that's when I started really waking up to my truth and who I really am and why I'm really here and I feel that July is a really really special month for me because of that and also it's just wonderful to spend time with family and it's almost like a month where you can celebrate and and travel and do all these things that you normally don't get to do during the entire year so I'm very very happy about this July and I've been really enjoying it and I wanted to stop just for a little bit and share my spiritual birthday and explain how I ground myself whenever I feel really out of whack whenever I start to feel like the world is against me or like no matter what I do it's just never enough and I feel like we all have those times in our lives where we start feeling frustrated or heavy and we start losing faith not in just in ourselves but in the world and in the goodness of the people and in our reason why we're here and sometimes the real world is tough so there are times where we might not be doing our very best we might not be feeling our very best and so that will reflect to whatever you do during the day and it will ripple on to a lot of other people so I'm going to share a really great secret with you which after this is not going to be so secret and I hope that it's going to help you also get grounded and feel more centered and overall happier with yourself as well as with your life so it's not such a big secret that a lot of times the world is changing so frequently that you can't really rely on that many people not because you lack the trust in other people but just because everything is changing so drastically that even a relationship or friendship or a family member for one reason or another things might turn sour and then you start feeling very alone because you don't have that person to count on anymore and so since life is consistently changing and there's a lot of loss in our lives I feel like it's really really important to have something or someone to count on like all the time and I really struggled with this for a long time I have siblings I have parents I have friends I have people that are there for me but there are times that I'm like I just feel so small I just feel like the world is huge and it's all against me and I just feel by myself some of those feelings have actually really inspired me to dig deeper and to really discover who I am and why I'm here and the reason that I feel that self-discovery is so incredibly important is because the only one you can count on at the end of the day every single day of your life is you and sometimes that feels lonely and sometimes that feels overwhelming and so how do you deal with that and not let it overwhelm you or overtake you because the demands of the real world can often make you feel really small and helpless can lead you to feel frustrated and upset and alone and all these negative emotions that I feel that everyone's gone through but I want you to ask yourself one question what if you met someone who was generous giving caring forgiving accepted you just as you are somebody who will hold you and listen to you and not judge you or criticize you or blame you for anything this person would be almost like a motherly figure who's always caring for you protecting you and letting you know that you're gonna be fine no matter what happens now what if I told you that she is already in your life and that all you have to do is step outside and you will see her I'm talking about Mother Earth and how reconnecting with Mother Earth can actually change your life and make you feel much more grounded much more centered much more aware of who you are why you're here and it will allow you to connect with infinity and the infiniteness of life and the earth and the planets and the universe and the galaxies and all the interconnectedness of life will flow through you whenever you start reconnecting with Mother Earth so I'm going to share my personal story it was a few years ago and I was going through a really tough time in my life and somehow I had this dream where I had this idea of laying down on the grass just laying down on the grass and closing my eyes and I did that one day I actually did it it was in October it was the first day of October during this year and I went and I visited Mother Earth and I would lay down and I'd lay down on the grass I'd close my eyes like the first day or the first few days and it didn't really feel like very much but as time went on I actually did this for 30 days in a row and that in itself really shifted the direction of my life and shifted my perspective on how I see myself in the world I'm not just a teeny tiny human being I'm a part of this huge amazing Mother Earth who's always nurturing me and taking care of me and guiding me if I just take the time to listen to her and to pay attention to her and so I did this for 30 days and that whole 30 days was really transformational for me and I would write in my journal what I would see it like some mornings I would see the butterflies some mornings I would watch some squirrels just running around other mornings since it was fall when I began to do this I would just sit there and I would allow the leaves to fall down on me from the trees and I really felt like like the earth was sprinkling me with hope I remember one particular instance I would just was really in despair and I was like how do I even know you're listening to me how do I even know that anything I'm saying even matters and as soon as the wind started to blow and then the leaves would fall on my face I felt that very instant that yes everything I'm saying to Mother Earth the conversation that I'm having with her is real and she's listening to me and she's much bigger than I could ever be in my own little physical limitation of my body so I feel that sometimes whenever things are too heavy for us when things are just too much for us to carry if we release those things into something much bigger than who we are it'll help to feel uplifted and it'll help to bring us hope and so during these days sometimes I was happy sometimes I was sad there were days that I was just like tired no matter what mood I was in Mother Earth would just embrace me every time I would just go to the same place lay down close my eyes and just like let go let go of everything I had going on with me no matter what the problems were in my personal life or in my professional life I felt like I could go to her and I could confide in her because she's so much greater than me and so giving and forgiving and caring and I started to really admire Mother Earth and how wonderful she is how generous she is and no matter how I feel she always accepts me she always welcomes me and the wind just blowing in my face and the wind blowing the leaves all over the place and nature just alive around me it made me remember remember that I'm a part of something so much greater than I ever really stopped to think about and I am a part of this giant earth a wonderful Mother Earth that always nurtures life that's always so generous I mean every single day I have enough air to breathe I have fresh air to breathe every single day and every time I step outside the Sun is always shining in the morning there's certain things I can count on every single day and I have fresh air the Sun comes out all of these different gestures are reminders that hey I am a part of something huge I am a part of something ginormous I belong here and the simple fact that I am walking and I am breathing and Mother Earth is here to listen to me and nurture me and guide me that in itself is very very uplifting because I feel how she is and I realized that she's always on my side every single day that I wake up every single day that I breathe that is a reminder that Mother Earth is on my side that nothing could take me down because I am with Mother Earth and she's with me and together we are bigger than anything I've ever seen in my life and the truth of the matter is that we all tend to forget that we are infinite potential we all tend to forget that we are a part of this giant world a huge huge part of a wonderful teeny tiny piece which is your body but it's connected to a much greater source which you can call it God you can call it whatever you would like in this particular instance I'm referring to the physical reality of Mother Earth and the wonderful planet that we live in and how just going to Mother Earth and laying down for five minutes on the grass or it doesn't have to be laying down you can sit down whatever you'd like sometimes I would take a blanket with me because if it would rain then the grass was really wet and I didn't want to really sit in the wet on the grass so I just took a blanket sometimes but you can do it however you would like but I really encourage you to visit Mother Earth for 30 days in a row and I guarantee that it will change your life forever but don't just visit her and rush and look at the clock and hurry back inside make sure that whenever you're there you listen to her and you confide in her and you tell her whatever problems you're having whatever is weighing you down whatever it is that you feel is holding you back just just listen just let go of everything and let her take over and watch how you feel lighter and pay attention to how that makes you feel that something so much greater than you is always on your side it's always there for you it's always there to guide you and listen to you no matter what and this doesn't apply to all the people in your life and this doesn't apply to very many other instances so I really encourage you to do this and I want you to remember that life attracts life so when you're outside that's the most alive you'll feel because there's everything outside is alive there's trees there's grass there's water there's all these beautiful things that Mother Nature has brought here for us basically for us to enjoy and for us to appreciate and oftentimes we just rush by throughout the day and we never stop to listen we never stop to look and if you don't stop to listen and if you don't stop to look then you're passing by it every single day and you're overlooking it and if you take the time to slow down and visit Mother Earth and and share your troubles your happiness your successes everything that you're going through and then you go and journal even if it's just one or two sentences about how you felt you don't have to go extensively into your journaling but whenever you go back and read these things it's gonna be really great and you don't have to journal but I feel that whenever you do journal about the experience it does stay with you longer and you're able to revisit the experiences and you're also able to notice how far you've come since the very first day so like I said this is a really transformational experience for me and I don't visit Mother Earth every single day now but I do visit her at least once a week all it is is just taking the time to go outside find a nice quiet place I have some neighbors so you don't want to look really weird but you know you just take the time to go outside and lay down on the grass or sit down quietly you don't have to meditate you don't have to do any other kind of thing if you enjoy meditating it's great but if you just close your eyes and you let go of all your worries and you allow Mother Earth to say hey you know what I see all these things that are weighing you down I see all these things that are getting you so worried I see you struggling I see you having a hard time with this person or with this situation she listens to you and she will help you and guide you and nurture you and she's always welcoming she's always kind she's always generous she's always just so wonderful to you and once you start visiting her and appreciating her beauty and the miracle of life then you'll start to notice a lot of other positive changes in your life and I know it sounds like a really simple thing to do but I guarantee that this will change your life this will make you notice just how lucky you are to be alive and to be a part of this wonderful magical ecosystem of people and plants and nature and everything just blending as one Mother Earth and it just makes you realize that hey you're never alone and someone so much bigger than you is always on your side so you can't ever feel alone because if you reconnect with Mother Earth you realize that you are infinite potential you are a part of something that never ends you are a part of the universe and while the earth might be a teeny tiny speck of dirt suspended in our galaxy this is our home this is where we belong and no matter what happens Mother Earth is always on your side so that's all for today I just really wanted to share the way that I began to get myself grounded and how this simple thing changed my life for the better and really made me feel that there's not a single day that I could really ever feel alone or small or not listen to or all these other feelings that can get in our minds and in our hearts to start allowing us to feel heavy and dark and gloomy because the world is changing every single day but we really have to remember that Mother Earth is here to guide us and protect us and that she is always always on our side thank you so much for tuning in I hope that you also take the time to connect with Mother Earth and allow her to fill you with hope and fill you with her generosity and her abundance and her kindness and all the wonderful things that you are a part of just realize that you are infinite potential inside of infinite potential inside of infinite potential because each and every single person is infinity wrapped up in a teeny tiny body so there's times that we might feel small there's times you might feel unimportant but we just got to always remember that Mother Earth is always on our side and that's gonna be true till the day we die in the day we're not here anymore again
