Ep22 Bernie

Anne: [00:00:00] Hi, I'm Anne. And I'm Helen. And welcome to Metaphysical Street Smarts. What is Metaphysical Street Smarts, Helen? 

Helen: Physical is everything you can see with your human eyes. You can see, touch, feel, taste as a human. Metaphysical is that which you cannot see. Wi Fi, microwave energy. When you feel somebody staring at you, you can't really feel eyesight.

Helen: So metaphysical is that which you can't perceive with the human eye. Street smarts means let's take the woo woo, the energetic, the airy fairy, and add it to logic so that you can have a better experience of yourself. in this one. 

Anne: As always, we invite you to take what blesses you and leave the rest. We're so glad you're here.

Anne: Let's jump in. Hi, Helen. Hello. Hi. How are you doing this week? 

Helen: Uh, fabulous. [00:01:00] I'm a little stuffy in my head, a little echo in my ears. And reaping great benefit from focusing on supporting my body as it shifts and evolves. 

Anne: I love it. It's been a transition integrating and coming back from the retreat. It was incredible.

Helen: It was, and I have to say to all the mamas listening, I've, um, had this big shift in my cranium. I mean, it's a trip. And I remember so many times being sick while I had humans to take care of, and it was so hard, so I just wanted to shout out to all of you who are active mothers, my boys are both adults now, and just say I've been sending you light and love and blessings because I've gotten to lay around in the quiet when I needed to.

Anne: And take the medicine you need to. That was one of the hardest things about being pregnant. And, and nursing is, like, you can't always [00:02:00] take the medicine that you, that'll help you most, so. Right, like to sleep eight hours, that's a no go. Yes, that's, oh my goodness. Yeah, when I got, when I got back to being able to use NyQuil, I was very happy.

Anne: It makes a huge difference, so. Okay, well, by way of Catch up. I wanted to, um, read one of the reviews that we've gotten on the Apple podcast. So exciting! Yeah! So, this one just says, Solomon DM. I'm not sure if you know who that is. But it says, it's five stars, which is, you know. Very nice. Thank you, Solomon.

Anne: Thank you. Um, the title is Remarkable, an amazing podcast, Helen and Anne masterfully distill key principles for a fuller, more joyful life. There is so much in the first episode that I'll be re listening to it more than once. Thank you both for sharing your [00:03:00] time, insights, and creation with us. Oh my gosh, I love it!

Anne: So lovely. Thank you, Solomon. It's so great to hear and it's nice to hear that it's helping because that's the whole goal. Okay, Helen, um, I think you've got something coming up pretty soon. 

Helen: Oh, I am so excited. Thank you for remembering and asking. And, and it's because of this that I offered, you know, people send in that they, you know, screenshots of a subscriber review, they could be, they could also send in an, um, something they want to tap on, and I'll just put a big tapping together, right?

Helen: Uh, because tapping's on my mind. On Saturday, March 15th, if you're in the Houston area, Um, there's the Wellness Expo in Conroe and they invite me every time to do a 30 minute group tapping. It's very fun. [00:04:00] And then, miraculously in my opinion, and I'm so excited you can probably tell by my voice, is I got a call from the Houston IONS group and she asked if I would be interested in tapping for their group.

Helen: And I'm like, sure, like what are the IONS about again? Like I vaguely could remember. Well, they are, um, Uh, they were started in, oh, I should have looked this up. You can go on site and look. Houston Ions, I O N S. But if you click the link to the, the major group, it was created by an astronaut. I can't remember if Mitchell's the first name or the last name now.

Helen: And he was coming back to Earth and he was looking at Earth. and the colors, and he had a transcendent moment of oneness. So when he got back and settled in life again, he started this group of noetic sciences. And if you follow in the website and you go to their research, it's [00:05:00] so exciting. They study things like channeling, mediumship, mental telepathy, all these amazing things, the, the sciences you can't see.

Helen: And I love, love, love knowing people are out there studying. It's so exciting to me. So I get to go, for the first time in my recollection, and tap with people on anything metaphysical. How fun is that? 

Anne: That's so fun. And so 

Helen: I'm excited I get to talk about it because I want to bring attention to that group and also, um, I want to let you know that I will have my videographer, he's going to be there, he's going to record the tapping and a little bit about the group and the history of the group and we'll post it somewhere where you can access it.

Helen: It's not for everybody, but for the people who are interested, it'll be fun. 

Anne: Totally. And we can, uh, we can put a link to that on our Instagram as well when that's available. [00:06:00] Awesome. Okay, we wanted to take a couple of minutes and talk about the giveaway we're going to be running on Instagram from February 27th to March 6th.

Anne: What we're doing is we're going to apply for the Apple New and Noteworthy podcast. And to do that, the suggestion is that we do it when there's a little boost of following on Apple Podcasts or wherever people are listening so that we're applying when we see an uptick in those stats. So for this giveaway on Instagram, we'll have you share just your favorite sound clip from any of the weekly episodes in your stories, and then the second step is to send a screenshot of wherever you've seen it.

Anne: Subscribe to the podcast or left a review and you get a bonus entry if you do all three of those So we're going to be doing that and in return You'll be entered into a drawing for one of two private one hour phone coaching sessions with Helen, which is amazing 

Helen: And then I think we should have a gift for everybody who participates.

Helen: How about [00:07:00] everybody who participates can send in an idea for a topic they want covered in an EFT tapping and you and I will make a fun tapping sequence and send it out to everybody who participated. Wouldn't that be fun? Yes. Okay, let's play together, guys. Come show up. Ann's doing all this work with this podcast.

Helen: I get the fun part. I just answer the questions. And yet she's keeping up with all the logistics and analytics and how to build it and how to grow it. So if you could be supportive in that, I want to play and say thank you. 

Anne: Well, my cosmic nudge for this week that I'm bringing to the table, um, I what popped into my head when I was Um, and I'm just looking at our run sheet here and the date.

Anne: That's what happens a lot is I'll look at the date and I'll just kind of close my eyes and whatever pops in I'm like, okay. Um, but it was to, to recognize and kind of declare for, I guess, [00:08:00] some external accountability that I can't give away my authority, my inner authority, my connection to forging my own path and living a life that feels true to me and what feels true to me will change just like I do, as it should.

Anne: But I'm here to be Anne and be me and that might sound like obvious to some people but I think that It's something 

Helen: I'm getting now. I think, haven't most all of us suffered with self identity? I, 

Anne: I think that I've, uh, suffered with maybe not even feeling like I necessarily have one, and giving what I believe, you know, giving other people priority over.

Anne: What I feel within myself. I don't know if that 

Helen: makes sense, but yes I would naturally and [00:09:00] because I have your permission to point out things as a as a teacher Um, I would just tweak the wording instead of saying I will no longer give. Yeah, you know, that's like a negative declaration Yeah, I would just encourage you to affirm Oh, I get to be congruent and align and build stamina for holding steady in the truth of who I am, even as that truth evolves with me, through me, for me, about me.

Helen: Do you see how that feels loving and it gives you probably just gave you goosebumps. And um, you know, then you take your cosmic nudge into a beautiful affirmation and then you can play with it. You could use affirmations, which I love. Why am I so skilled at remaining congruent and true to the best version of me?

Helen: Like, didn't that feel good? 

Anne: Yes, and I can't, I just got [00:10:00] this thought of, I can't imagine what that and, like, I don't even know. It feels so big and such a simple thing, but it feels so big to me to be able to Claim it. Own it. To claim it. Live it. Believe it. 

Helen: Normalize it. Yes. Right? Please. Yes. Good thing you were just, you know, recently at the retreat learning how to play with new belief systems in the next level.

Helen: So immersion in it. So like in your daily gratitudes, thank you, thank you, thank you that I'm becoming aware of the best version of me and remaining congruent to it more often. Like how often can you use it, um, and, and build it and pray about it and intend it and affirm it and make a jingle about it.

Helen: It's really fun. 

Anne: When you were saying, I heard standing firm, I don't know if you said that, actually said that, but that's what I heard, and my, I just like, my gut kind of tightened and I was like, [00:11:00] Oh, it sounds like a lot. And also, I'm in awe that it's available to me. 

Helen: Yeah. So if we can talk about that for a sec.

Helen: So when your gut clenches, and it says, Oh, that sounds like work. That sounds hard. It's because somewhere in your programming as a human being, Whether it's from childhood or culture or karmic or DNA programmed epigenetics, it's like, that's not what good girls do. Yeah. And so the conflict makes things sound like, I gotta fight for it.

Helen: I gotta earn it. I gotta prove it. I gotta stand strong in it. And really, you could soften it and just go to, Uh, true innocence, right? True curiosity. How could I play with this until it feels more comfortable to me? Which is what we do in everything. You certainly aren't the same at this podcast as you were on our first run at it.

Helen: Right? [00:12:00] You're not the, you know, we start off and we're newbies. We don't know what we're doing, whether it's your first time you fly on a plane or the first day at a new job or the first week at a new job, or, you know, look at the poor earth, the humanity, what a crazy experience COVID was. Nobody knew how to show up in it because we didn't understand what was going on.

Helen: And now it, you know, if there's another outbreak, it'll be a little bit different again. Because we know that we kind of know how to show up a little bit better. I mean, at least I would hope so as a, as a species. But the thing is, Everything just out of your comfort zone that you want next. It's always the same formula to align to it.

Helen: Practice, practice, practice. Repetition, repetition, repetition. And then eventually, the neuroplasticity in your organic brain, your physical brain changes, and then your mind and emotions, your thoughts and emotions align. And then a year from now, when I say, I love how congruent you are with your [00:13:00] self authority, you'll say, what?

Helen: I'm always like this. What are you talking about? This is normal, Helen. What are you talking about? There you go. That's it. You own it, 

Anne: girlfriend. Okay, let's look at the time. I don't know how much or what time we really started, but do you want to jump into our question for the week? Yes. All right. This week's question comes from Bernie, and she asks the question, what is intuition, and how can we increase 

Helen: it?

Helen: So intuition, And Bernie, thank you for the question. Intuition is often defined as having information.

Helen: It's tapping into access of information that you haven't been told and you haven't deduced from reasons around you that you could name and logically claim. So, intuition, to me, if I was [00:14:00] going to Hellenize my definition, it would be, it's kind of like going to the internet and Googling something I don't know anything about and getting an answer back, right?

Helen: And it always fascinates my personal mind, like, what is, where does all that information come from? So, intuition is never, ever, ever, Um, as dramatic as the movies make it. It's not scary stuff. It never pushes you. It never requests that you have to listen. Intuition usually comes through if you ever study it.

Helen: It comes through when you're doing very mundane things. Cleaning house. Driving. Very mundane things and your mind gets quiet. So intuition is a very, very soft, loving, Unattached, doesn't need you to validate it voice, and it will randomly give you bits of information that would serve your highest good or, or direct you to avoid something or to go towards [00:15:00] something when you're least expecting it.

Helen: So in my home, when, um, You know, my, my sons are visiting or around me and, and they ask something and I answer and I look at them and I say, you know, I don't, I don't know if I've ever heard that if I were you, I'd listen to that. Because I know it came from somewhere bigger than me. Right? So intuitive knowing.

Helen: It's not a freaky, unknown, unaccepted fact of life. It's recognized in different ways. People who are amazing, amazing in whatever career they've picked, uh, we call it gut instinct. We call people who are highly successful and just have a sense of what will work and what won't, we call them wise. Um, experienced.

Helen: And so those things you could say, well, that's developed out of practice over and over and over. And that is true to a degree. And yet those are the people in, like a surgeon, having a knowing to do [00:16:00] something different for one patient that he doesn't do usually. Or, Uh, a musician pulling a lyric out of thin air that suddenly they know this is going to be a hit if I keep developing it and get more information.

Helen: Or an artist. Suddenly, I, I knew one artist friend. She woke up in the middle of the night from a dream. She had no canvas, so she ripped a painting off her wall and painted this horse running at her from the dream, and it's one of the most magnificent paintings I've ever seen. And so where did that come from?

Helen: Her subconscious? Her psyche? Is it intuition? You know, words are symbols, twice removed. So it's whatever you're hearing is coming through your filters. What I'm saying is coming through my filters. So intuition is information that blesses us and others. And yet we don't know exactly how our minds received it or put it together.

Helen: That's the definition I would use. [00:17:00] And then, how do you develop it? So this was interesting. I know that at the retreat, Peg had told many, all of us, that we're a group of high intuitives by what she teaches. And somebody said, well, I'm going to trust my intuition on this. And I'm like, have you practiced?

Helen: Have you developed skill with it? And it's like any other skill. Have you practiced it? Have you researched it? Have you kept track of it? Is it really what you think it is? So, um, Trying to think of the book and the name of it. Practical Intuition by Laura Day. She now gets paid like ten grand a month from many different people.

Helen: Because she's on call 24 7 for intuitive hits and she has this beautiful book. It has all these exercises in it that you could develop your intuition. So if you're a self studier, I highly recommend that book. If you like to learn in groups, well, I highly [00:18:00] recommend Peggy Sue Skipper that you could join her intuition class.

Helen: And it's on Zoom, so you can be anywhere in the world. And practice and learn and learn from other people's practicing and questions. That's a great way to do it. Um, there's dowsers committees or groups, I think all over the country. Join a dowsers group. That's, you're learning how to open intuition through pendulums or dowsing rods.

Helen: It's just amazing. It's limitless. So the advice is, the truth is, the logic of it is, if you want a new skill, find a teacher who knows more than you, and follow directions and practice, practice, practice. 

Anne: Uh, it's so cool to kind of not be on the other side of something, but just having been practicing this and actually not feeling like a total beginner newbie and [00:19:00] having , it's so nice.

Anne: It's so nice. And I, 'cause I have been practicing and at the retreat when, um. I had gone over to the, the table and looked at the books, and I didn't realize I was testing. I was looking at them, and I, I just thought, what am I interested in? I'm gonna pick one. And I came back with two. 

Helen: Two. 

Anne: And then you came over with the pendulum, and And I was like, okay, great, because actually I already know that this is going to be, on the scale of 0 to 100, this is going to be between 80 and 100.

Helen: And I got to confirm it without knowing that. 

Anne: Yes, and you confirmed it, and I was just, what I felt in me was like, duh, of course, I already knew that. And it was so cool, not in a way that like, that's unnecessary, in a way of like, I love these tools because they kind of give a space [00:20:00] for visualizing what's unseen.

Anne: That's been my experience with it. And so it's easier in some ways to connect what's happening inside me. I just knocked that. Okay, it's fine. Um, what's happening inside me with what I'm visually seeing happen with a pendulum or with, um, my cards. And I just love that. It's that I'm to a point where I'm seeing 

Helen: that.

Helen: Practice, practice, practice. And I'd like to just share one personal thing. So Bernie, just a heads up. I am clairsentiment. I have a lot of knowing. For others, when it comes to just for me, it can be a lot less consistent and harder.

Helen: And, you know, it's getting better over the years and yet, you know, we all came in with different things to explore and build and develop through. And so just to tip on that, I, I [00:21:00] will use the pendulum muscle test, uh, often it just comes through me and words for others, clearer sentence, clear knowing for others is super easy for me today.

Helen: Wasn't in the beginning. didn't know I could trust it. Very, very scary. And I'd love to get to the level where it was that easy and fast for my own personal questions. 

Anne: I think this is part of why I would love to see your human design because my Mission is very, well, mission, whatever. My personality, my design, is very centered in success in my personal experience and that rippling out.

Anne: You know, I have intuition for myself and that's a strength that I'm, that I develop and get to enjoy. But, you know, I'm not teaching on Zoom, I'm not hosting retreats, and it's just different. 

Helen: We all have a different makeup of skills, questions, [00:22:00] strengths, weaknesses, challenges, accomplishments. Yes, we're all so uniquely diverse.

Helen: It's lovely, isn't it? 

Anne: And none of it's wrong. And none of it's like better or worse than the other. It's just, I got something else I bring to the table. 

Helen: That's it. 

Anne: I love being able to say that, because when our podcast started, I was just like, what am I doing here?

Anne: I was like, why me? But like, yes, but why me? I don't understand. But 

Helen: I have a really good answer for that that I took from somebody else. You ready? Please. Because you would do it. 

Anne: I would. I did, I, um, coincidences, whatever. It all, um, it all culminates in, and I'm not just talking about the podcast, each experience, each gift and talent that we choose to allow to expand culminates in being uniquely prepared.

Anne: [00:23:00] To do I wouldn't even say what we're like meant to be here to do But just to do whatever we feel called to whatever we get to choose what we do here, right? There's not necessarily like I we don't pick the big stuff But there's not just one thing like and if you don't do that one thing then for a lot of people then There's no right way.

Anne: I guess I'm talking about myself, who, I don't feel particularly drawn to, like, a career path, and I used to feel so bad about that. I'm just not driven, I'm just not focused enough, but my, my focus and my drive is elsewhere, and I'm learning to be okay with that. 

Helen: It's funny, isn't it? Because we come into this idea of separation and like, well, I should be good at everything and I should know everything and have all the answers.

Helen: I'm like, really? Why? And then you start evolving and growing and developing the skill of choice. We don't come in having good skill and choice, right? That's a hard learned, [00:24:00] hard earned, uh, skill for sure. And you start seeing We're all part of the whole. We all contribute what we contribute. And then eventually, you know, the goal, I think, in my reality, the goal is fall in love with whatever is your part and love all the parts that others bring to the table, too, and let it be a mix of unique, diverse contribution.

Anne: Can I love 

Helen: I can love your contribution, so I hope you catch up and you do. I'm not saying I don't, 

Anne: but I'm just saying, you know, it doesn't always look the way that I think it would look. That I, success doesn't always look the way that I think it would look. And, I get to yet on that. Yet, yet. 

Helen: And for me, of course, I have those, I have this crazy enthusiasm for learning, obviously, the eternal student [00:25:00] with being a teacher.

Helen: And it's like, oh, I wish I was drawn to that and mastered that skill and, you know, I'd love to do it all. And yet the truth is, um, I'm very lucky in this lifetime, my personality is all on for whatever my soul is leading me to. And yet I feel like that's a great privilege and a gift. I don't understand.

Helen: Why me? And then the same question would be, why not me? 

Anne: I'm letting go of, of anything that's not a positive expectation. Woohoo! I love 

Helen: it! 

Anne: Because I just don't need to put limits on what it looks like. So, oh! Uh, Helen, do you have a question for 

Helen: Bernie? Yes, Bernie, if I were able to ask you this question to bless you with developing your skill of intuition, I would say do you have a journal to keep track of how many times your intuition has been right?

Helen: Somebody just beginning to question what is it, how do I develop skill in [00:26:00] it, I'm going by the questions that were asked, it's a great idea to have a logistical, ego centered, which is way measure and compare, uh, way of looking at it. And any new skill you want to develop, it goes easier and faster if you involve the ego into it, of way measuring, comparing, and that the ego loves what it can see measured out.

Helen: So when you get the ego on board and you get the spirit on board and you get the personality on board, it's just a good way to get a lot of good results. So I'm so grateful, Bernie. Thank you for the question. Can't wait to hopefully hear an update, send it in to Ann. Perfect. Well, thank you so 

Anne: much, Helen, for being here again and, uh, spending time with me.
