Transcript

Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.

As most of you know,

I've been doing these collaborations with other Insight Timer teachers called Ask Your Guides and these collaborations have been a dream come true for me.

I get to interact with other teachers.

I get to introduce all of you to new teachers and sometimes not only do I get to meet new teachers,

But you get to ask questions of teachers you've been following and that you love.

The feedback from the community has been amazing and heartwarming and definitely a huge confidence builder for someone like myself who,

As most of you know by now,

Has been an introvert for so long.

And as I keep saying,

When you're around people that you resonate with,

It lights you up and amazing things come to life.

And one of the amazing things that has come to life is that I am now creating a track based on some beautiful background music from a teacher I have long admired,

James Anthony Walker.

I know so many of you are familiar with him and his beautiful work.

His track Floating has over 17.

1 million plays and this is the beautiful background music that you're currently hearing.

So today I am thrilled not only to be sharing his beautiful music,

But to have a journaling prompt which is inspired by the new oracle cards that I purchased called Ask Your Guides.

And this is by Sonia Choquette and of course I found this deck shortly after I started doing the Ask Your Guides series on Insight Timer,

So I had to buy it.

I'm loving this deck and I thought today I would pull a random card and we could get started with a journaling prompt after getting some wisdom and some inspiration.

Today's card that I randomly picked is number 44,

Limitation.

Seek guidance from those who have gone before you.

The road you are navigating has been traveled by others who know the way better than you,

So ask for advice.

They can show you how to proceed because they are familiar with your challenges and can share their wisdom.

Ask for direction rather than fumbling in the dark,

Trying to figure things out and losing your way.

The loving nature spirits remind you that we have all been beginners at one point and it is essential to learn from those who know more than you do.

There is no shame in not knowing what to do or how to do something when you find yourself in a brand new situation.

The problem comes when we refuse to learn from those with years of experience due to stubbornness or pride.

The nature spirits are here to help you take in new information.

You are being asked to do either something you don't know how to do or something utterly different from what you usually do.

Ask the nature spirits to help you be more flexible and receptive so you can quickly absorb new information and apply it.

It will relieve the problem.

Your nature spirits message to you,

Listen and learn from others.

They make it easier for you.

So I love this card for so many reasons.

Of course the number 44 being a master number is one of them and as most of you know,

I love numbers,

Hence Violet 108.

But what I really love about this is that it speaks to me of the reason why I started Ask Your Guides.

I felt like there were so many teachers on inside timer with so much to offer and so much that I wanted to learn and I knew there had to be other people who felt this way and I kept thinking how can I bring us all together and Ask Your Guides was born.

I love to say that we learn from each other and I definitely feel like that's what I'm doing.

I'm learning from other teachers.

I'm learning from this community.

We're all learning from each other in this beautiful space and I love that this card says that we're being asked to do something we don't know or something utterly different from what you usually do.

That's exactly what I've done and the best part for me is that by creating this beautiful space,

Not only am I helping myself but I'm helping other people in the community.

I'm helping other teachers and I am loving this.

So now let's put a little time on the clock and get ready for our prompt.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself floating weightlessly.

You are free from gravity,

Suspended in a boundless space.

What do you see around you?

What emotions do you feel?

Are there any thoughts or memories that surface?

Explore this state of weightlessness and see where your mind takes you.

Let's enjoy this beautiful music and let's start journaling.

All right my friends,

I hope that you were able to get some beautiful thoughts into your journal and as always feel free to reach out to me and share anything that might have come up or anything you'd love to talk about or just stop by and say hello at the next Ask Your Guides.

Looking forward to hearing from you and please let me know what you think of James Anthony Walker's beautiful track Floating.

Have an amazing day.

Keep journaling and keep dreaming.

Until next time.

Reviews

As always a wonderful meditation and journal prompt. I always love using your prompts and your card. Thank you Violet108.

Always a connection when I choose to journal with you. I did change the prompt today because I was telling me to write about where I needed to ask for help. Yesterday I connected with a woman in my Joyful Business group to ask questions about publishing a book that I wrote and designed in 2021 but left on the shelf because I didn’t believe anyone would be interested. But now it’s calling to me to get it out there. She helped me realize that I could publish the book and gave me some great ideas for my other designs as well. I’m slowly learning to that my dreams are important. Thank you for your guidance Violet.

Thank you, Violet for this beautiful track. I have noticed many more teachers attending other lives and comradery between teachers bc of ask your guides. What a gift you have given to the IT community!

Thank you for your Floating Playlist. Tom Evans directed me to you for I mentioned my touchstone was Float. I enjoyed your collaboration with the five teachers today.

“ stubbornness and pride” so true. I’m getting better though at asking for help 🙏💞

As always, your beautiful gentle guidance helps me reflect and written words flow. The background music is beautiful!

This is so amazing Violet on so, so many levels - 108 of them as it happens - I love how each guide interprets and augments Floating in so many different ways

I loved here the back story of Ask Your Guides. That's very inspirational for scripting! Thank you. I'll use this again.

Thank you Violet for this nourishing reminder about learning from others & for your own generosity in bringing Ask Your Guides to life & nurturing so well as a beautiful shared space for many. In deep appreciation.

Thank you that was lovely! The music, your voice perfect. Thank you for the Ask Your Guides sessions. I really enjoy them!
