Anne: [00:00:00] Hi, I am 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 eye. You can see, touch, feel, taste as a human. Metaphysical. Is that what you cannot see? Wifi microwave energy. When you feel somebody staring at you, you can't really feel eyesight.

Helen: So metaphysical is that what you can't perceive with the human eye? Street smarts means let's take the woowoo, 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: Helen. Hi Anne. I am so looking forward to your cosmic nudge [00:01:00] today. They just delight me. 

Anne: Oh, well I hope it lives up to, uh, to your expectations. Actually my cosmic nudge today is a question. So that I wanted, we went to the Scottish Festival yesterday and I wanted to tell you, so I have a lot of Scottish heritage.

Anne: We go every year, they have like our clan booth and we go and like learn a little bit of our history. And this year they were talking about how the McIntyre's in Scotland rented land in. Campbell and the rent I thought was so whimsical and I'm obsessed. The rent was a fatted calf in the winter and a snowball in the summer.

Anne: A how'd they get a snowball in the summer? I dunno. They must have like buried a giant snowball and just like crossed their [00:02:00] fingers that it was still there. 

Helen: Or they had caverns or something with ice. Yeah. Made it underground. But I just thought it was so 

Anne: fun. Wait. Underground or the top of a mountain would have snow.

Anne: I don't know how long it would survive. I guess their summers aren't like crazy hot probably. 

Helen: And there are very tall mountains that have snow caps, even though it's different temperature down low. Yeah, but that's fascinating. That's what they rent, they rented by. Okay. 

Anne: Wow. I thought it was so fun. I learned something new.

Anne: Good. Well, my nudge this week was to ask you if you wouldn't mind talking about your weather magic and how that works. Oh, okay. I think it's so fun. 

Helen: I do play well with the weather and I've been doing it a long time. I first, um, I heard about it two different places. Esther Hicks, who channels Abraham. I heard her or read it in one of her books.

Helen: This is so, I mean, I've been playing with weather for [00:03:00] decades. Um, so I don't remember all the beginning, but, uh, she spoke about asking for rain when they were traveling and they didn't want their new landscaping to have a problem. And then I read another book, gosh, I can't remember the name now, if I can think of it or if it's still on my shelf, I'll let you know.

Helen: You can put it in the notes. But anyway, this woman was talking about walking and she would just bubble if there was rain, so it wouldn't rain on her. And anyway, I became fascinated with the idea and so way back then, uh, I could ask for less rain or more rain and people would call me and say, Hey, I'm having a party or a wedding.

Helen: Can you work on the weather for me? I'm like, sure. And it was always easier if I had time, you know, linear time. And then it got super interesting because we started having the weather apps on our phone. So my husband would ask me, like, for weather when he was fishing, and I'd say, okay, what do you need? Do you need [00:04:00] sun or clouds or wind?

Helen: Like, I would have to know, depending on where he was, what he needed. Like, I don't, I'm not a fisherman. And so he would tell me. And then there was this one time he was going and um, he was gonna go fishing with my son when my son was at college in Corpus Christi at a m there and. He was going and we're in a hotel, and um, so I'd worked on the weather.

Helen: I felt good about it and he left. But anyway, he's checking his phone and he goes, and it's the most amazing story to me. He and my son Sean, had to pull over their kayaking. In the bay, they had to pull over on an island because a big storm came in like frightening and cold and scary. And yet all of Sean's friends had a great day out on the water and on boating on boats.

Helen: And they came back and told me, and I'm like, what? Huh? And I'm like, were you looking at your phone? [00:05:00] He said, yeah. And I said, look, we're requesting Mother Nature to play with us. Never has to do with me overriding your free will. Please don't ever ask me again if you're gonna keep looking at your phone and doubt it.

Helen: And I'm like, that's a fascinating experience, right? And so it's not like you one up anything. It's this beautiful energy you have to really get into a divine neutrality and then crank up the love and the peace. And for me, my version is I just talk to mother nature spirits, you know, the. The beautiful energies of light and love that work with wind or sun or clouds, and could I have this if it's possible?

Helen: And I never ask. Expecting it to be, you know, I have to prove it. It's always just a beautiful, Hey, if we could have this, this would be lovely. And thank you for listening, and yet I have to reach that. [00:06:00] Place of no ego, no demand, no attachment. So it's better if I have a head heads up. And plus it's, you need a heads up because you can't move the weather if you have, you know, hundreds of people expecting it.

Helen: So to me it's a very beautiful connection. And I will tell you the two things I remember we were at a river once and I was trying to work on the river, but I was mad. I was mad at somebody who canceled last minute or I had hurt feeling something. It just poured on everybody in the river because I could not get to a neutral state.

Helen: And you know, as, um, I mean, I can't be the only one. I hope some of our listeners replied that they play too. And it's, you know, you have to ask with zero attachment. Like if it rains, it's fine, but I got to play and try to reach this level of asking and dancing with Mother Nature. And the flip side is, you know, I also [00:07:00] talk to the energies that be like, oh, you know, we plant the flowers for the butterflies and we like to get back to you.

Helen: Thanks for all the times you've, you know, worked with wind and rainstorms with us. Mm-hmm. So it's, you know, are you making it all up? Maybe. But my, I'm, I can deliver pretty much over 90% of the time, so I don't know. My husband believes in it, and he's not big into all this. 

Anne: I know. I love that. He really does.

Anne: He really does request weather from you. I actually, I forgot before when I wrote this down to ask about it, I forgot. I totally have a story that I wanted to tell you. We went to, um. The Monster Jam World Finals, which is Monster Truck stuff, which, oh, big muddy, noisy. Yeah. My boys are super into it. It's our whole life.

Anne: And this year they happen to be in Salt Lake City. We, we were like, oh, we are going, we are taking the boys. We'll [00:08:00] stay up late. It doesn't matter. So we went and the whole time I was thinking, oh man, I kind of hope it rains really hard. So we've got like super fun slip and slide monster trucks. It'll be so fun.

Anne: And then we got there and there's a thunderstorm. This is the 4th of July. It does not usually rain in Utah on the 4th of July. It's usually really hot that weekend. It was much cooler than I've experienced since I've been here since 2006. It's the least hot 4th of July ever. Anyway, we get there and there's like an evacuate the ball, thunderstorm warning, and I was like, huh, okay, well we like got our food.

Anne: We did our thing. We went and sat out there. It started raining a bit and then it started raining a little bit more and I was like, okay, so maybe I should have been more specific. Maybe I should have asked for rain. Earlier in the day, the day before, and because like it's fun to be there and be in the rain, but [00:09:00] then like I've got two little boys and it's kind of cold.

Anne: And I was like, okay, I'm gonna change what I'm asking for. And, and my three-year-old kept looking at me and going. Why aren't they starting the monster trucks? I was like, well, 'cause if you look at the sky, like the whole sky is really gray and dark and it's raining a little bit. They wanna make sure that we're safe and that the monster trucks are safe, that their drivers are safe.

Anne: But if the gray, if the dark gray goes away, then they'll start the monster trucks and it'll be fine. And whatever happens, like we'll come back another day, or we'll do it tonight, whatever happens, happens. And then I shifted to. Okay. What if instead of rain, I asked you for just whatever weather will give us the most fun experience possible, whatever will be the most fun tonight.

Anne: And then if you looked at the weather app, it was supposed to thunderstorm all night. [00:10:00] 15 minutes to half an hour later it was blue sky. Isn't that fun? I have so many stories like that. I love it. It was so fun. And Hugh it. My 3-year-old looked up at me, he was like, look at this guy. I was like, I know. Isn't it that, how fun is that?

Anne: Yeah. 

Helen: And that's that level of an attachment. Mm-hmm. That's that level of, well, we'll come back if we need to, or it'll be, can, you know, it's, you have to be the, you know, it's called divine neutrality, but it's not neutral, like apathetic or unconcerned. It's a very high loving. Energy of I'm safe no matter what, and wouldn't it be fun and delightful?

Helen: If yes, that childlike delight is what I find gives a better response. But rocking awesome. You did great. Isn't that fun? I was like, oh, if I'm gonna play with it, I better be playful. It's true. It seems playful energy seems to give me way better results than serious energy. [00:11:00] Yeah. One day we're driving to paintball party and it's pouring, which never occurred to me, and there's like six cars full of people and my husband looks at me and he is like, did you bring clothes to change it to?

Helen: I'm like, no. I never thought it would rain on us. And I call the place, I'm like, please don't leave. We are coming. He's like, well do your thing. And I'm like. Oh, it was a lot of work, but we got there and it quit raining and they had fun, like you're talking about in the mud. Yeah. Um, that one was a stretch, but yeah, like our retreat we were at, that was, it froze the week before and the week after, and we had what, 80 degrees.

Anne: Oh, we had perfect weather. Not too hot, not too cold. It was absolutely perfect. 

Helen: Yeah. And that comes from a faith in divine timing and gratitude practice is my opinion of how that works. 

Anne: And we would have been okay, had it been either of the other options way too hot or way too cold. But yeah, we just, everyone, I'm assuming [00:12:00] everyone was just neutral about it and 

Helen: well, a few people were worried and I just kept saying, oh no, the weather will be fine, but, but my intention was.

Helen: The best weather for all of us. And if that's cold and wet, that'll be okay too. And we'll feel snugger when we're in or you know, it'll all work out. And so again, the divine neutrality, the acceptance, the un attachment, and the sheer curiosity and playfulness of, well, I would like this, but what, you know, this or something better.

Helen: I trust you completely. Yeah. It's fun to play, 

Anne: isn't it? So fun to play. And as always, we don't control the big stuff, the big events, we don't, I mean, we don't control any of it, but we can always put the intention or the appreciation out there for whatever we'd like most. 

Helen: Yes, and and what I always teach is do as an experiment.

Helen: If it calls to you and you're good at it, keep doing it. Yeah. 

Anne: Cooley. Doley. Well, we have. A question this week from Rachel, if you're ready. [00:13:00] Absolutely. Okay. So Rachel's question is, my husband and I have been trying to conceive for three years now, and I've had a very early loss. But other than that, nothing, we're feeling the strain in our marriage and need some help finding peace and maintaining our marriage.

Helen: Mm. Yeah. So that's, you know, harder than weather for sure. Yeah. So, you know. The, the early loss is so devastating. I had a few of those, and both my boys are Clomid babies. Um, I didn't have a regular cycle, and those, those years were hard knowing that I might not be able to conceive and carry a child. And so the way, first of all, when you're under stress and the emotions are intense, that can absolutely affect your ability to ovulate with or without help.

Helen: And so it would be about acceptance and you and your husband choosing how do you wanna come through this? Like [00:14:00] literally sitting down together and saying, this is really hard for a marriage. It's really hard for us individually and together concerning both your personalities and your hearts and what you want and what's plan B if there is one B, plan B could be adoption, plan B could be two.

Helen: Help communities with children Plan B could to ha to make peace with their children, coming up with a plan B and making peace with it. And then I would always say, you have to, you know, choose what fits you and your husband, Rachel. I would always say, you know, the prayer, you know, divine father, um, God, universe, whatever your, your language is, your will be done.

Helen: Please support my husband and I in choosing love no matter what it is that's happening. And, um, as you [00:15:00] guide the mind, you use the mind as a tool to guide yourself, your heart into feeling safe with plan A or plan B. You know, plan A is babies. Plan B is heartbroken, but I'm still choosing life and love and.

Helen: When you can reach that place over and over and over, um, then it's more likely that things will synchronize, that you get the energy of parenthood that you're seeking, whether that's through natural pregnancy or growing a business which becomes your baby, or ending up with children in your life that maybe aren't yours or adoption.

Helen: You wanna remember that the, the love you wanna feel as a parent can manifest in different ways. So we don't control the big stuff like babies when they're born. We don't control death of children. Um, death of a marriage, death of a [00:16:00] job, birth of a marriage, or birth of a job. We don't control those big things.

Helen: Those are God's business for sure. And yet we can co contribute, like playing with the weather energies. The quality of our experience. So if you and your husband could use this really hard, difficult, painful time to decide who you wanna be for yourselves and each other in a marriage that's going through this, that's gonna get you closer to a better quality outcome.

Helen: And I think it's really hard in our culture to think we don't have control over much. We tend to think we have a lot of control and we don't. And so looking at that and whatever religious beliefs you have or spirituality, you know, how do you take this painful, disappointing, horrible time and really live what you [00:17:00] believe in it?

Helen: That's the part I see people struggle with. They have their religious beliefs or their spiritual beliefs, but they forget to bring it into the hard real lifetimes. Mm-hmm. And so, yeah. Rachel, I would suggest coaching therapy or just you and your husband getting together and say, well, we might not conceive.

Helen: Who do we wanna be in that? What do we wanna commit to? I have one friend, her, um. Her parents lost the child before her as an infant, like maybe eight months old. And they made a commitment to not let their marriage fall apart. 'cause that does happen a lot of times with death of a child. They said no, they chose to stay in love and married and they did.

Helen: Like they went to their nineties, married and loving each other. 

Anne: That's amazing. 

Helen: And that was through. Getting clarity intending, setting an intention, aiming for it. It's [00:18:00] very hard to hit a target. You haven't defined. Well, 

Anne: Helen and I both have a lot of experience in this area. Um, and my husband and I tried to conceive for five years and then I just.

Anne: I mean, in this time I had, I was working with Helen intermittently and I think that there were some points that popped me and kept upping me until I was ready to, to make a change and, and make a choice for myself. And one day Caden and I were talking and I was just heartbroken and 'cause really, it's this.

Anne: It's me ho. It was me holding onto this idea that it should be the way that I think it should be when I want it to be. And so I came up with this, I don't know, decision for myself that I am choosing happiness just the way we are until I'm 30, and then I can go back and decide and be [00:19:00] miserable after 30 if that's what I want.

Anne: But I was, I was 27 at the time and I was like, I have spent. A good five years being, making myself sick over this, and I am choosing right now. I can worry about it when I'm 30 right now. I'm gonna enjoy these three years. And I'm not saying it works like this every time, and I'm not saying that's magic. I was pregnant six months later.

Anne: And that's just what it was for me. I mean, it, that wasn't the only factor. There were other things that I was doing to support my body and my lifestyle, but letting, releasing that pressure and stress on myself allowed me to explore and be open to other things and happiness that otherwise, I think without that mindset, I would still be stuck.

Helen: Yeah. And, and like you said, Anne, for you, that's a beautiful turnout that you let go of the attachment and the time. Mm-hmm. And yet it doesn't guarantee babies. [00:20:00] We do know that. No. And yet, um, Rachel, you know, the biggest, most important thing is how do you wanna show up in this time of your life? Anne chose happiness.

Helen: I chose too. I, I mean that, you know, I kept choosing, well, what's plan B for me? And my husband and I did choose our marriage and. And how I got through it, which now I see in hindsight did lead me more into this who I am today. And there are so many things. I would also say, you know, you want a baby that's crystal clear.

Helen: Be sure you try everything that you're led to. Uh, acupuncture, nutrition, uh. You know, supplements, lifestyle, meditation, prayer, happiness, whatever it is, because at the end of it, you wanna know you tried everything. So there's no guilt or regret on your end. And a [00:21:00] and in that, being open while you work with the mind and the heart to accept whatever outcome is your, your experience.

Helen: You're gonna be influencing the rest of your life. You're in spiritual bootcamp right now and how you think and how you guide yourself through the emotions you're gonna feel, and you're gonna feel a lot of emotions. You don't get to skip all that. And having a goal, a target for the other side of this affects the whole rest of your life and who you find yourself to be.

Helen: So that's a tough one. Rachel, please receive our compassion and our prayers for you, and hopefully you'll update us when you have news. Yay, nay. Good or bad, well feel with you for it. Whatever it looks like. Do you have a question for Rachel? Well, I said yes, just that, you know, sit with your husband and really, really define a target.

Helen: Who do [00:22:00] we wanna be through this? Whether we become parents or don't become parents? And remember you wanted to find the target even if you become parents. I met many women when I worked in retail who had fertility treatments and that end up with twins or triplets and divorced, and that was never what they were planning.

Helen: So, you know, you do wanna be clear what does marriage mean and what are you committed to, and is it only if there's a baby? And that's okay too. Have a have a, you know, a reasonable. Uh, non-traumatic divorce then if you, you know, if either one of you needs to go on in a different way, but in speaking of it and getting clarity on it and having to find targets and, and participating at the level of how you choose to show up can allow the divine matrix.

Helen: You know, like we were talking about the weather, there's something so much bigger of us with a divine order that [00:23:00] can bless you in so many ways. But it's really difficult to be blessed and to evolve and to expand in goodness if you end up trapped in attachment, fear, disappointment, all the lower vibrational energies with no target to aim for.

Helen: And yes, when our target is my way or the highway, that's not very good target we have found through experience. 

Anne: Yeah, we might suffer a little bit with that one. From from experience. Okay. Alright, well that's another week. Thank you very much Rachel for sending in your very personal question. We are rooting for you for sure.

Helen: Thanks Helen for another lovely week. Oh, thank you. And I'll be holding Rachel and her life experience close to my heart and in my
