  • 133 - Can You See What You Need to See? - Exploring How you See the World with the Thirteen Ghost Points

    133 - Can You See What You Need to See? - Exploring How you See the World with the Thirteen Ghost Points
    Dec 23 2024
    The next two Ghost Points in our series are about how we receive input from the outer world and how we actually see the world. These insights are invaluable for anyone striving to cultivate greater authenticity in their life. Ghost Convincing: This theme challenges us to recognize when we're being influenced by external pressures or "gaslighting." It's about trusting our inner truth and being aware of when something feels off. Ghost Eyes: This theme encourages us to reflect on how past experiences, especially traumas, might cloud our current perceptions. It's about seeing clearly without letting the past dictate our present. Building Trust in Yourself To cultivate Trust, start with small steps to rebuild trust in yourself. Whether following a gut instinct about a seemingly simple decision, like taking an umbrella when it doesn't look like rain, or reflecting on bigger life choices, nurturing this inner trust is key to authenticity. For those who might feel overwhelmed due to past traumas, the journey may take time, but it's worth the effort. Recognize situations where you might have doubted yourself and try to understand the underlying truth of those moments. Moving Forward with Confidence While the past may have shaped us, it doesn't have to define us. By reconnecting with our authentic self, we can cultivate the Thirteen Ghost Points to approach the world with clarity and confidence. 08:00 Introduction to the 13 Ghost Points 08:42 Understanding Ghost Convincing 09:47 Trusting Your Instincts 10:12 Reconnecting with Your Inner Truth 12:17 The Impact of Trauma on Trust 13:04 Baby Steps to Rebuild Trust 14:38 How You See the World 15:50 Hypervigilance and Trauma 16:12 The Exhaustion of Hypervigilance 16:27 Different Perspectives and Vantage Points 17:20 Influence of Past Traumas 17:46 Homework: Observing Your Assumptions 19:51 Hypervigilance as an Excuse 20:20 Living Authentically 20:39 Energetic Work and Self Cultivation 21:35 Recognizing Gaslighting 21:47 Gentleness and Self-Care ********************************* Visit the Podcast Website: Click here to get more information on the Inspired Action podcast and the Five Element Fridays podcast.

  • 131 - True Qi or Not True Qi: That is the Question! - Ghost Point Checklist ✅

    131 - True Qi or Not True Qi: That is the Question! - Ghost Point Checklist ✅
    Oct 16 2024
    🌟 Are you ready to unhook your past traumas and free your True Qi? The first step is to become the watcher and find the areas of your life where you have allowed yourself to be your true self. 👀 Can you be truly YOU vs the YOU that is being influenced by past trauma and external pressures? What have you acquired along that way that takes you away from being your true self? ☯️ Listen in as Leta and Jaye share tips on how you can identify your hooks by examining areas where your True Qi may have been distorted. 🚀 Take your first step towards self-discovery and healing with gentle kindness toward yourself! - How you interface with the world: Observe your interactions in daily life, for example, at social events or while talking to people in mundane settings like the grocery store. It's normal to interface in different ways depending on your Element: If you're Wood, you'll likely be private, if you're Fire, you might be shy, if you're Earth, you might be really open, if you're Metal, you might hold back and watch, if you're Water, you might feel socially awkward at times and be very social other times. - Self-Doubt: Identify areas where you are doubting yourself and how this could be linked to past experiences. - Perception of the World: Examine whether you see the world as a threat and how this affects your authenticity. - Walking Your Path: Check if you are metaphorically on your life's intended path or if you are taking a detour. - Unconscious Beliefs: Understand if your deepest unconscious beliefs align with your stated beliefs. - Obsessive Thinking: Notice if certain thoughts dominate your mind and how to bring balance. - Authentic Self-Expression: Verify how you speak about yourself; avoid self-denigration and be genuine. - Heart Pains and Reactions: Be aware of deep emotions and how they can trigger disproportionate reactions. - Intimacy and True Qi: Explore your comfort level with intimacy and sharing your true self with loved ones. - Guilt, Shame, and Control: Acknowledge feelings of guilt and shame and how external control affects your Qi. - Identity and Authenticity: Reflect on whether you are the person you truly want to be and how closely you align with your authentic self. Being gentle with yourself during this observation process. Acknowledging that trauma can make this process difficult and patience and kindness towards yourself are crucial. We are all on our unique Alchemical journey that is individual. Knowing that you don't have to do it alone, go it alone or be alone... we can share it with our global community of Alchemists at the AlchemyLearningCenter.com and InspiredActionPodcast.com.
