TRANSCRIPTION:
Hello there. I am Lara Jaye, and you are listening to the Wisdom Within Podcast. This is your go-to place for realistic, yet practical, grounded spiritual guidance. So get ready to elevate your own life and business no matter the chaos around you. I believe many of us thought that this process of self-awareness and awakening moving through this shift of consciousness, both collectively and personally was going to be a lot more rainbows and lollipops. The good news is that there are many things we can do to make this a smoother transition, and I personally am on a mission to empower people like you to create the most exceptional life possible and to help anyone who is ready to unlock their own highest potential. And it's no accident right now that you are listening to this show. In order to do that though, we need to go within to get to know ourselves at a deeper level and is with all information that you hear either from myself or anyone, take what resonates and let the rest go.
(01:25):
I'm here to tell you my experiences with life and what worked for me, and you make the ultimate decision of what's best for you and only by looking within do you know the truth for yourself. What you will hear from me is how light language changed my life and how to harness the power of the unseen to create shifts in your own life and business. You'll also hear my own unique experiences, teachings, some light language meditations, clearings activations, all of which help you align to your own highest ever potential. And all of it will be with a focus on showing you how I go about each day, each moment to live in harmony with everything around me from food, people, energies, clothes, properties, land, nature, my body, money, businesses, and much, much more. For me, it's about living intentionally each moment making choices that align with my own values and the highest expression of who I am. And in this particular podcast and through all that I do, you can activate that for yourself as well.
(02:48):
I don't think anyone can argue the last few years have been quite challenging in unique ways that we have not ever experienced before. Many believe this chaos will for several more years to come as the world continues to evolve. Our individual lives may feel like we are riding a roller coaster with twists, turns and upside down with no end in sight. The good news is you can have that calm and the chaos. You can choose a higher path for yourself. You can build that business and have that life you dream of even when the world around you doesn't make sense. But in order to do that, I believe we will all need three things to move forward. Number one, I think we all need our own meaningful spiritual practice, whatever that means for us. Number two, we need a deeper self-awareness and number three, control of our negative thoughts this season.
(03:54):
One of the Wisdom within podcast is all about providing support of those needed three items, spiritual practices, deeper self-awareness and control of our negative thoughts. All of these are covered in depth in my most recent book, the Wisdom Within Cracking the Secrets of Meaning, purpose and Security, which is what this entire podcast is about. I'm not going to be reading you the book, you can find all the versions of the book, hardback, paperback, Kindle, audible, all on Amazon and at some Barnes and Noble stores. Links will be in the show notes. I really encourage you to get your own copy of the book because I see all of you highlighting it and it becoming a guide as you were going through life. The really cool thing in the book, there's something very unique. There is a QR link at the end of each chapter to a light language meditation to guide you through whatever the concept is that I'm talking about in each chapter.
(04:58):
It's like having a personal session with me at the end of each chapter. So this book, the Wisdom Within is actually my fourth book. You can find links in the information, in the show notes and my other books I describe in detail my pivot from Corporate Housewife and Midwestern mom to that of international bestselling author, spiritual advisor, and Light Language Pioneer. This current book is about the transition after the pivot and after my life and marketing company we're blown up in a pile of rubble. I give you a glimpse into my struggles and transformation, both of my outside and most directly into my inner world, my very personal inner world. We have a rapidly changing landscape. Traditional approaches are not going to work anymore in this podcast and in my book, I weave my own personal stories with practical and what I think is insightful wisdom that will help all of us as we move forward in the years to come, I want you to have this unique roadmap to unlock your own inner potential and find that meaning and insecurity that I know we're all craving and where to find it.
(06:20):
We find it within ourselves this season. One of the wisdom within includes all my stories on loneliness, alcohol abuse, generational curses, light language, my metaphysical experiences, angels, energy, mastering, energy sensitivity, portal keeping land healing, living harmoniously with your house. Shadow work. Dark nights of the soul jumping timelines, triggers what to do with them and much, much more. So all of my work, whether it's in the podcast, whether I'm coaching, speaking or writing, stems from the premise that God our creator, this universal energy of love is our ultimate source of all things and to meet that ultimate source of all things we go within In the introduction of the wisdom within Weary Traveler, I go in detail on how weary many of us are in life right now and what is really happening the world and how it's affecting us personally. From chapter one, we start talking about loneliness and abandonment in the womb.
(07:36):
So these are very, again, these are going to be very unique concepts that you may or may not have ever heard about. These are my take on it. This is information that Spirit has downloaded to me and I'm sure many others in the world, but this is how the information has been downloaded to me and affected me and my life, my personal life, and I'm giving you roadmaps and ways to overcome these things and glimpses into my own inner world and inner challenges in hopes that there might be some little piece of it that you're going to be able that will help you somewhere in chapter two. I call it family Traditions, my favorite Hank Williams Jr song growing up, but unfortunately it's about alcohol abuse and other generational curses. Next we go into my favorite Black Crow song. She talks to angels and I really describe my time with my imaginary friend as a child and how a lot of kids actually have imaginary friends and the importance of the light language for me and the other metaphysical experiences and how I work with creator and the angels and other spirit guides.
(08:55):
Chapter four is Words are energy and it's how people's words can affect us and how they create actual daggers that go into our energy field and in other ways, people's words can implant in our energy field and stop us from doing things that we may not even remember but our body remembers. Our body remembers what those people said to us, and it can stop us in our tracks from really stepping into our full potential. Chapter five is On Mind games. Like I mentioned earlier in this show, our mind is so important, the importance of learning to control that story that we play over and over in our mind and in our heads. The story, the thoughts, what are we telling ourselves? And I give you stories of my own struggles. This has definitely been a big one for me and some, and I give you tips and tools on how to work through this.
(10:04):
Chapter six is entitled one of my favorite Tom Petty songs Learning to Fly, and it's about mastering energy sensitivity, and I used to think I was so cursed that this is awful, I can't go anywhere, and I know many of you listening right now also are very energy sensitive. I want you to know that this is not a curse. It's actually a blessing, and I give you some really unique ways of working with it and honoring it and not letting it stop you from life, which is the most important thing. Chapter seven, another Tom Petty song is entitled, time to Move On. As you can tell, I named a lot of these after. I love music named a lot of these chapter titles, not all of them, but after some of my favorite songs, so time to Move On. It's about something very unusual, portal, keeping land healing and lots of moving in my life.
(11:03):
I have moved, I'm actually just completed my 12th move in 10 years across the country from Midwest, Indiana to Florida, back to Indiana, back to Florida, out to Northern California, down to Southern California, and now we're making our way back to the United States. I am in Austin, Texas recording this right now, so I have no idea what's next, but in this chapter I talk about what the heck I'm doing, and this honestly is the first time I've ever talked about it, I've ever written about it. People just roll their eyes at me and just curious like, what are you doing? First time I've actually put it down on paper and chapter eight is about our house, how to be in harmony with your house. It does go hand in hand with the chapter before moving and being in harmony with the land. This is about being in harmony with your house and I go in detail on my unique house and land and space, clearing ways.
(12:14):
Next we go into Dancing With Your Shadows, diving deep into the inner psyche for healing. Chapter 10 goes along with that and is entitled, just Be Held and it's about B, embracing those dark nights of the soul. Much throughout this book, I was in a dark night and I wanted to make sure that I was writing from that spot so that the reader, the listener, could dive in with me and feel the dark night with me and be able to give you the tools and tips on how I actually move through it. Maybe not to push it away or to get on the other side of it, even though that's what we always want to get through it as fast as we can. It's really about slowing down and going within and diving in and really swimming in it. I wanted to make sure I was able to capture that moment so that you could go with me and swim with me and come out the other side.
(13:16):
Chapter 11 is really fun and it's about jumping timelines. It's about choosing to be a different expression of yourself, and for me, I'm always praying and asking for the highest expression, the highest potential of myself, interesting word, choice, something to remember when you're praying, asking for the highest potential of myself so that it's a really fun chapter with a great meditation to talk about jumping timelines. The next chapter is Sweet Emotions. It's about healing our triggers and releasing stuck emotions. There are stories in there that I have never told anyone, and it's not important that it's out there now, but what's important is that you see I'm a real person and hopefully these things you will be able to relate to as you release your own triggers and your own stuck emotions. Lonely People is the next chapter. I really believe that loneliness, especially since the pandemic, is one of our top mental health issues that I just don't think we're talking enough about and especially here in America since the pandemic.
(14:37):
And so in this chapter I talk a lot about dating in midlife and attracting what we are. So you are going to hear some of my Craig Craig dating stories and those are fun probably I may have to add a few more here even in the podcast when I expand on these stories. What I really want people to get out of this chapter on loneliness is that just because you're alone doesn't mean you have to be lonely. Obviously, I'm not going to be reading any of these chapters to you, but I am going to give you the background of these stories and why the heck some of these stories even got in there. Chapter 14 on everything is energy and we have the ability, I talk about the ability to observe energy shifted, and I cannot wait because this is my playground and my personal happy playground is energy and shifting the energy of it. And lastly, chapter 15 is entitled Unwritten. And this I think is the most important chapter in the whole book because it is a about surrendering to spirit. We've earlier in the book, we've been clearing, we've been activating, we've been jumping timelines, we are wanting to be in a different energy, in a different, doing something different maybe perhaps. And here in this chapter we surrender it. We surrender the how and the when to spirit.
(16:12):
And in each of these chapters, we get to know ourselves at an even deeper level. To begin today, I just want to welcome you. I want to sit with you. I wanted to talk about my process of writing and this book and why it is so important for you to have it in your hands. Like I mentioned, this is my fourth book. It came out just last fall. And those three things that we're all looking for, meaning, purpose, and security, often we're looking outside of ourselves for that. Well, what if it was inside of us all along? And that's what I want to support you in diving deep to actually uncover those things already within you. All we're doing is uncovering them. So a couple of years ago, I could feel in my body this energy building of information that, okay, I am ready to begin writing something.
(17:14):
My body, I always feel it, my body first, it has something it wants to say. It's been a while. And so I just moved and unpacked in Northern California and I lived about an hour and a half from Lake Tahoe in this beautiful little rural area. So I meditating, I was hanging out with a friend of mine and it was actually my birthday. We had gone out for dinner, went back, we were hanging out at my house, and she's a writer as well. And so we started to meditate together. And when I go into meditation, I always start with the light language and the clearing. There's some kind of information that I would like to get. If I'm going into a meditation, I usually write that question, I call it auto writing. I might write one or two questions as I'm typing and then begin to pray.
(18:08):
And so we go into meditation. She's on her end of the couch, I'm on the other, and we're both writing and getting whatever information we're both getting. We both knew that we had books in us that were ready to be written. And it's sometimes it's hard to figure out, well, where do you even start? So I start in meditation because I want to see what is it that my body, what is it that my soul is really trying to say? What is it that is wanting to come out? So when I'm tuned in, I see, hear, feel, and know things all at the same time. And when we talk about intuition, we'll go into all of that more. So I get all of the information in many different ways all at one time. So I'm auto writing this information as things are coming in. I'm getting pictures in my head, I'm getting words, I am hearing words, I'm seeing words.
(19:06):
And I heard the book title, adventures of a Lonely Soul, and they showed me a picture of what the front cover would look like, adventures of a lonely soul. And in meditation, I could just feel my body getting, and I'm going to just say this, I was pissed. I was mad. I didn't want to write this book. I didn't want to write Adventures of a Lonely Soul because one, I knew where it was going to go and I'd already had felt like I'd been really lonely for a very long time, and I knew that it was going to go even deeper than that and hurt even more. And what we focus on expands. I was trying not to focus on that. I wanted to focus on something happier. And so I said that. So I'm kind of arguing with God, can you give me something happier, something more joyful to write? I literally felt like I was arguing with God and I said, I don't want to write that. I don't want to write that book. Can you give me something else? Give me something happier. I felt like God basically laughed at me and said, no, you've already written that it's time to go deeper. It's time for this.
(20:25):
Like I said, I knew I needed to write it. I bought it a bit. I knew though that my soul wasn't going to get out of this. That's why I came here. I needed to work through this, whether it was for somebody else or myself, it didn't matter. I knew I was being invited and called into the deeper inner depths of my soul to pull out whatever it is that needed to come out and document it. So I think I waited a couple of weeks and I went back into meditation and then it was like, okay, so here we are now we're in the surrender piece. So if I write this, if I write this book, if I decide to go a hundred percent all in, tell me what people will get out of it. What will people glean from this? So again, I'm auto writing.
(21:14):
I wrote about 10 reviews of the book, which is now, remember the book's not even written yet. I hadn't even really decided I was going to do it, and this is how I was encouraged to write it. It helps me to go to the end and see what people are going to get out of it, how they're going to be helped. So I closed my eyes and Otw wrote and channeled a few different paragraphs of words. You know how the beginning of a book, there's people writing reviews? I'll tell you, it was very eyeopening and very pivotal for me in seeing that it will be worth it for me to write this book. And I'll also tell you that when I did have people write the reviews for this current book, some of 'em were almost verbatim word for word what I had written. It was fascinating and it was definitely confirmation, okay, that this book is going to make a difference.
(22:13):
And writing those reviews helped me see how important it was for others and especially for me to write this book and the difference in the person that I am two years later and after writing that book, I'm going to tell you I think is amazing. I feel like in my opinion, I'm definitely better than I was and this is what going within does and really playing in that arena without fear and embracing it. When I finally began to write, realizing that it was so important to get this out, to get it out of my body, important for me to get it out of my body, to say the words important for my own soul growth and others. So I still thought all along the whole time I was writing it, it was going to be called Adventures of a Lonely Soul. I wasn't happy about that, but I was surrendered to it and I was just honestly going to go along with it.
(23:14):
I wanted to just begin writing, finish the book and then go from there. I mentioned I love music. You will see that many of the chapter titles are titles of my favorite songs, family Traditions, Hank Williams, Jr. She talks to angels, black crows learning to Fly and Time to move on. Tom Petty Sweet of Emotions. We got Aerosmith in there. We got the band America on and on. Natasha Benfield. Music for me, lightens my load, lightens me as I'm maneuver life, music words, all the different kinds of music, and I raise my kids on all the different kinds of music for the most part, for me it's sound, it's vibration. Most music is very clearing and soothing. It can be helpful to the soul. However, there is music that will cover later that is dark and angry In my introduction, weary Traveler, beat down from the storms that you have weathered feels like this road might not go on forever.
(24:14):
Carry on you keep on giving. Jordan St. Clair wrote this song and this chapter and the introduction is about the weariness that many of us were feeling coming out of the pandemic. And also some are continuing to feel globally. We're in this spot. We're shifting from struggle to flow, from doing to the being, from stress to peace, to confusion, to clarity and chaos to power. And most importantly, we're actually shifting from competition to more cooperation and connection. So our world is being asked to do this shift. We're being asked to create a higher vibration and a different life co-creating with spirit. And to do that, a lot of the old structures are being torn down. So your life personally in the rear view mirror that you held onto so tightly needs to collapse. Not all of it, but most of it probably it needs time to collapse.
(25:17):
And we also need to swim in the chaos a little so you know what you don't want, so you can build this new stronger foundation. Those old beliefs and patterns that actually were the foundation, that were the glue holding together those old structures, they have to go. And I'm not going to lie, it can be gut wrenching, it could be challenging to pick up some of the pieces that you held so dearly, but I want you to know, and if you don't know this already, you are going to know this as you listen to this podcast as you read the wisdom within the way out of chaos, the way out of disconnection is going within and the way out of numbing ourselves is by going within. I love that saying, you probably heard it to thine own self be true. This is the way to a life of flow and balance and harmony.
(26:27):
And I'm not just talking BS here. I believe it really is. This is our chance to bring heaven on earth for ourselves and for others. It's time to be true to ourselves, to meet the self that we have ignored, the one that we have numbed, the one that we have shoved down when it wanted to tell you something, that self that was screaming for attention, the one that sparked pain in your body. It's also the self that you may not want to look at in the mirror. That's who we're talking to. When we are going within, we're also talking to our soul, to our God, to God spark God's source that lives inside of you. And at the same time that we're being poked individually, there is a whole huge bigger picture going on. I write all about it. Our planetary evolutionary metamorphosis is this fascinating topic.
(27:34):
I'm going to tell you what's happening right now is really captured the attention of scientists and spiritual leaders alike. According to some recent research, we're in a 26,000 year old cycle and it's causing massive changes in our journey right now. And we're all here and we all raised our hand and said, I want to go down and be part of this party, part of this transition, this cycle is known as the precision of the equinoxes. It's a slow gradual movement of the earth's axis that causes the position of the stars to shift. Now it's divided into 12 equal parts, each lasting approximately 2,160 years. Of course, each is associated with a particular astrological sign. You may have heard it said, we are transitioning from the age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius, which actually marks the end of this huge 26,000 year old cycle.
(28:44):
It is huge. It's significant. It's a giant transition period for our planet. We are seeing a political, economical, social system changes. We are seeing environmental climate changes. You name it. Many believe the focus on materialism, greed, and individualism that characterize this age of Pisces that we just came through will actually change, will actually turn more to a focus on spirituality, unity, and community. And that is what marks the age of Aquarius. As we're moving in through this age of Aquarius, there's this growing awareness on the impact of human activity on the planet of this beautiful greater emphasis on sustainability and environmental stewardship. But navigating this transition period requires us to have some new tools in our toolbox that we may never have used before. Tools like openness, adaptability, resilience, mindfulness, staying informed, embracing change, and the things I mentioned earlier, the spiritual practices, really controlling our thoughts and of course, deeper self-awareness.
(30:14):
Right now, we're being invited to open to new ideas, perspectives and ways of doing things. During this transition, it may be challenging. It also presents an incredible opportunity for growth and positive change. And so we're all navigating this, every single one of us, and we're doing it together. And individually we are right in it and we are having endings and new beginnings all at the same time. And it looks like on the outside world, a massive, chaotic, cray, cray mess, right? Wars, famine, awfulness. Everywhere we look lies, things are being brought out, new information. We don't know who to trust.
(31:01):
This is what's happening globally and throughout the entire world. And how it's affecting us individually is what we are going to dive into in the wisdom within. The best thing we can do as we ride these waves is raise our vibration, keep tuning inside and raise our vibration. Some of the ways to do that right away are gratitude. Gratitude, be thankful, appreciation, connect with nature. Don't we always feel better walking on the beach, hanging out with the trees, lots of self care and self love. Prayer is when I'm doing all the talking. Meditating is when I'm quiet and listen for answers. And of course, surrounding yourself with positive people listening to higher vibration music. I love playing Christian music and classical music in my house. I used to do it for my kids when in their rooms, when they were at school and they were being cranky.
(32:00):
So all of that's really important, these things. But do what you love, do what you love. These are the things, just a few of the things that you can do today to begin to raise your vibration and feel better about this transition, this podcast and my newest book, it's a haven for those who have struggled to find their place in the world. It's especially for those who have been labeled the black sheep in the family like me and still am, or those deemed too sensitive. You're too much, you're too much, or you're too little. You're too sensitive or the world. So if you are really a seeker and want answers regardless of the shifting sands, which it is, it's shifting and it's shifting fast. And if your high bypass still feels like you're just a bit overwhelmed with challenges, then you are in the right place listening to the right podcast, reading the right book, and the wisdom within I believe can give you this treasure trove of tools that you need.
(33:05):
It's going to help you either leisurely kayak on the surface or you can go deep sea diving with me into your psyche and safely with love. As our planet is undergoing this amazing transformation, we are called to plunge into our own inner depths in this world of uncertainty and rest assured life persists on the other side. And I, for 1:00 AM so excited that you are here embracing this journey with me. You are shedding the old to make way for profound transformation Amidst those crumbling structures that you used to find solace in not anymore. You're going to find out that you had all of that inside of you all along in this podcast together. Over the next few weeks, we're going to be going within peeling away the layers of stuff that we no longer need, the things that just don't make any sense anymore in this world. Thank you for hanging out with me today. I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did recording it. And if you did, please leave me a review, share this podcast with your friends, and if you have any questions about what we covered in the show or would like to follow my projects, you can find me at larajaye.com and all the fun social media places, links are below.
