 So I'm really excited. Bryce and I are going to be doing a series of short little videos because we know you're also busy and sometimes listening to you and whole hour of people. It's too much out of your day. So I've got my watch here because I could talk to Bryce all day literally and do most of the time. The time ourselves were not allowed more than 20 minutes. And the reason Bryce and I wanted to do this is because there's so much freedom, isn't there, Bryce, about a problem solved as a problem halved and talking things out there. So we want to just chat through some subjects that are on our mind and if they resonate with you, we'll try and make the titles clear. If they resonate, you join in because even by energetically listening, you're then joining in to part of the discussion because at the moment there's so much going on energetically, isn't there, Bryce? Oh, God, yes. We're changing timelines. We're changing timelines right now. It's crazy. So there's a lot happening. And as we know, for each and every one of us, we're responsible for our own selves. No one's going to save us. If you're going to ascend, you're going to ascend yourself. And so I think this is such a brilliant idea, Catherine, because this will give people something to kind of look at each day and talk about and figure out how to help themselves more and more and more as we get into this new timeline, this new earth. And Bryce and I say the whole time and every time we talk, I think we get more in this belief is like the more we learn, the less we know. So when we're chatting, we are literally just saying our thoughts out loud. We might change our mind. We might have new information. It might give us another opinion tomorrow. But I was speaking to someone last night, a really, really good friend. And I was saying the biggest gift that this whole process has given me is connecting with people like you, Bryce, and having the freedom to say, I don't know, but let's chat this through and see if something new comes up for me. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I think I've shared with you before that, but it was one of the most groundbreaking things for me as a yoga student is to hear one of the most accredited teachers in the United States say, I don't know. There's a lot of power and I don't know. And there's a lot of power in accepting that you might change your mind in the future and that's okay, you know, because as we were gonna talk about today, don't believe everything you think. So my favorite quotes, don't believe everything you think. That's been a huge learning curve for me. And you know, it's all very well. Everyone learns in a different way, don't they? So, you know, I like to read, listen, and then very much do and be quite honest until I do the doing bit, I don't embody it. But also I like to talk about it with other people because I find I can get quite caught up in my head of going over things in my head. When I then have a conversation with another human being or another animal or a tree or whatever it might be on that particular day, things just become so much clearer to me. And this, I think we've all heard about, don't believe all your thoughts, but it's so complex, isn't it? It's incredibly complex. And this is, so I'll tell a little funny story. This goes a lot with the yoga philosophy as well of examining your thoughts and understanding how your thoughts affect you and how your thoughts also disconnect you from source because they're not true. Usually your thoughts are an illusion of your own projection. Well, before the Westerners started going over to India to study with our late guru, he had this saying where he would say, 70% practice, 30% theory. Like the theory is only good for 30%, but 70% you need to practice it. You have to physically practice it. Well, when the Westerners came over in like the 60s and 70s, all they wanted to do was drink coffee, smoke and talk philosophy all day and not practice. And Guruji was like, no, no, no, no. And then he changed it to 99% practice, 1% theory. Because when you overthink things sometimes, you actually lose the potency of what the lesson is to begin with. Because I overthink too, that's an Ayurveda, that's Vata. And I have to remind myself all the time, don't believe everything you think. We are our own worst critics. And so sometimes we take information and we twist it to almost downgrade ourselves a little bit. And that takes our power away. And sometimes you have to just go into that practice of just doing and just being, whether it's working with animals or out and hiking nature, or instead of just sitting around and obsessing over thoughts, if that makes sense. Yeah, it's absolutely brilliant. And last night, actually, one of my really good friends, Penny, hi Penny, sent me this beautiful video on animal communication. I'll try and work out how to show it to my community tab later, if I can. And it's because I've been doing a lot of animal communication work recently. And again, my thoughts have been telling me there's something wrong with this thing about calling it animal communication. Because it's not really animal communication, it's intuitive communication. And whatever species, whether it's plant, animal, or whatever you're speaking to, it's exactly the same process. And in this process, it was wonderful because they were looking at really highly skilled native trackers of animals and hunters. And they were just explaining how beautifully about how when they put their whole focus from their heart onto the animals track, then they could literally see all this things. I will find out how to share it folks. It's beautiful, beautiful video. And I just had this real Eureka moment. And it was like, yes, so much of what we label things can just send you down the wrong path. And actually, when you get out there and do it, everything starts flowing. Now, yeah, there is always a balance, perhaps like my daughter's a footballer. She needs to learn the technical skills, but there's no point in knowing the technical skills if you can't put it into play in a match sort of thing. And if I'm out there with my animals, I could be the best person at understanding dog behavior. But if I can't interact properly with my own dogs, it's all useless sort of thing. So it's just, we've moved into a stage, I think, as humans, and I'll say I'm generalizing, I'm talking more about the Western world here, because we've got much more of a sedentary life scale than any of us are designed to have, that we do spend a lot more time in our heads than we're designed to do. And I think this is key to moving forward about how we get ourselves out of this mess. Get out of your head, basically, yeah, absolutely. And look with, I mean, we've been all isolated for good almost two years now. We've been in situations where all you have is you're, there's a really great book. I don't know if I've talked about it with you, Catherine, but it's coming to mind right now with Don't Believe Everything You Think. It's a book called Flow, and it was written by this like Hungarian therapist, I can't say his last name, it's like 10 consonants, and I don't wanna butcher that. But if you guys just Google Flow, you'll see it come up, and he talks a lot about the power of the mind and what gets us into this position where time goes away, we're not, we're totally focused, which of course is the now moment, which is where God lives. God lives in the now, the past is done, and tomorrow never comes. We're in the now, always. And he talks about the brain and how in one section of the book, he spoke about how people reported higher levels of depression on the weekend, where we think that, you know, everybody's working for the weekend. We think that's what we were looking for to that time off, but during the week, you had this schedule. So your mind had something to focus on so your thoughts could not get away from you and get out of hand to the point of changing your mood, changing your thoughts about yourself. So when your brain is structured, there is a more free flowing of good intention versus when it's free to just roam and do whatever it needs to do. And so, and then of course that comes into like getting outside, getting your body moving, working on projects with other people will help kind of rein in the overthinking, which I think a lot of us do. That's what causes anxiety. That's what causes stress disorders is you're doing it to yourself. And again, it's easier said than done, right? If you're doing it to yourself, you can just stop doing it. No, it's not that easy because the brain itself is an organ, just like the heart, just like the lung, just like the kidney, it has a function. You know, your brain is your brain. Your consciousness is your consciousness. Your psyche is your psyche. These are all separate things that are working together as one in this life, but the brain is a muscle is created to keep you alive. And so with that being said, it's a problem solver. And so if it doesn't have anything to work on, it's gonna go back into the filing cabinet and your brain and pull up old problems that it needs to solve. Like that's when sometimes people lay in bed at night and they have all these bad memories of something. It's cause the brain's trying to find something to work on, basically. It's not attached to the emotion. The emotion is part of your own reaction to what it's working on. And so if we start to understand that our thoughts, what we think is not us, it's not the essence of who we are, we can then hopefully start to figure out things to do in our life to work around that and to not be stuck in a situation where we're believing our own lives, you know? I just agree with every word of that. And as biologists, one of the most surprising facts I learned is that 70% of the calories we use as humans, obviously this is an average, are used by our brain. Now that is unbelievable. So anyone losing to lose weight? Concentrate on mine. But it's what those thoughts are on. And they've also done studies that sort of, I can't remember the exact percentage, but ridiculous percentage, something like 90% or 95% of our thoughts are the same thoughts every day. And that is really crucial, I think, because what are we doing to change our environment or to mix things up a bit to help us be open enough to allowing new thoughts in? And I think this is so related to what we've called, whether it's the brainwashing or whatever we want to call it, that we're seeing in humanity at the moment. Oh, absolutely. You know, a Guruji used to always say to people, body not stiff, mind stiff. Like when people would complain about their body, oh, your body's fine, it's your mind. It's your thoughts on your body that are making your body do things you don't want it to do. Well, think about that. If your body is reacting that way, if your body is stiff because your mind is stiff, think about everything else in your life that's up. We know that our thoughts change our reality. We know that. And yeah, I think that that, but I think I said this on another channel. It's kind of like here in the United States with AA, the first step is admitting you have a problem. So the first step is admitting that you're not, you are not your thoughts. Your thoughts are not you. You know, they're important because your brain is what's keeping you alive, but you have to remember to also keep it in its place. Like your job is to keep me alive, but I am more than this. And so I think when we move into this new earth, this new timeline, which we know is coming very, very soon, hopefully, hopefully, we're going to be responsible. We have to take accountability for the things, for how we speak to ourselves. You know, even in the yoga practice, the first rule of yoga is something called a HENZA, which is non-violence, non-violence. Well, how many people are cool with that with other people, but yet are very violent with themselves? We speak to ourselves sometimes in ways that we would never speak to our friends, that we would never speak to our spouses. Like if we heard somebody say things to our spouses or our friends or our family, that we say to ourselves, we would get pissed off. So why are you speaking to yourself that way? You know, why are you allowing your thoughts to pull you down when we know that, listen, everybody watching, I've said this so many times, that everybody watching is so freaking powerful and such a freaking badass, that is why they've done all they've done. That's how powerful you are. It's because they have to do all this stuff just to try to control you. That's how powerful you are. So don't let your brain sabotage yourself because everybody watching is super special, super important. So here, here. And I think one of the secrets to sort of moving on to, sort of saying, okay, you've got to recognize it, recognize your thoughts. And I love Wayne Dyer's, you know, if you take an orange and squeeze an orange, only orange juice is gonna come out. It doesn't matter what you do to that orange, you can freeze it, you can, it can be moldy, it can be old, it'd be hot to be cold. But when you squeeze an orange, it's still gonna be orange juice. You're not gonna get grapefruit juice, you're not going to. So if you're feeling anger, if you're feeling sadness, if you're feeling hopelessness, then acknowledging that that's within you is the first part. And then say, well, what do I want? And just calling in whether it's angels, universe, friends, professionals, whatever it is, to say, okay, that's absolutely fantastic. I've acknowledged this is in me now. Now what do I want to do about it? It was so funny. And people watching might think I'm kind of crazy. I know you won't, Katherine, because I think we've talked about this. Whenever I feel, and I've done this since I was like in high school, and I actually talked to Cindy about this yesterday, about Archangel Michael, I've had a very strong connection with Archangel Michael my whole life. And I do this now, like when I'm feeling really sad, or if I'm feeling kind of that hopelessness and that your whole body just kind of sinks down, I'll often ask for a hug. It's not feeling, I'll get a hug. I'll get a hug from the angels, or I'll feel my body being squeezed, and it reminds me when my nephew, my first, the baby that made me an aunt, the first grandchild born, when my nephew was learning how to, when he was toddling and he was learning how to talk, and Katherine at that age, they get frustrated because they can't really communicate, but they know what they want. And so when Charlie would get frustrated and he was trying to give my sister a toy to fix or something, my sister taught Charlie just to say, help please. So he would know how to say, help please. And he'd walk around and say, help please. And it's kind of like us too, we're like those little toddlers for the universe. And if you are feeling that, all you gotta say is, help please. And the universe always will provide you and will help you. If you know my thoughts are getting the best of me, help please, you'll get help. You'll have someone, an energy come and help you, of course, correct. Help you bring you to a place where you're feeling good and your thoughts are clear and you're focused. It's true, it's magical, it's true. That is absolutely beautiful. I just love that. I'm going to use that at art. And just really asking, because just like we can be very cool to where we talk for ourselves, most of us, and I think most people watching your work or my work, they're very empathetic. They're very giving people to others and everything. And we can see that from a lot of the comments we've got. But it's really, really important that we learn to ask for help for ourselves as well. Because, you know, you do, it's like, they age your thing and as a mum, I know there's more than anything. Children do what you do, not what you say. They don't always follow because they might choose to do deliberately what you don't do, because they've learned from your mistakes. But they're not, it's not the words. It's like when you're communicating with a tree or an animal, the words are irrelevant. It's the intention behind the words that they're picked up upon. So when you genuinely ask for help from wherever that might be able to be, it's so wonderful when you see that it comes from most of the surprising sources, doesn't it? Yeah, it makes me emotional. Yeah, because, you know, I think that's too, I think we've been taught especially, like, you know, in the Western world with most of us are grandfathered into the Christian faith that we should feel guilty or we have to like prove ourselves. But God's source is pure love, pure love. All your guides are nothing but pure love. And they are their whole being and essence is there to help you. You have the help available. But again, the law of the cosmos is free will. So you have to ask. You have to ask. But they'll be there in a heart. They want to help you. They want to hold your hand. They want to give you that hug. And so if you feel like your own thoughts are too much and you don't know how to course correct it, you just got to reach out for help. You just got, and I think it's a pride thing too. Like we don't want help. We want to do this ourselves. But at some point, everybody needs help. At some point, you can't. It's like the whole airplane thing. You got to put your mask on first before you can help somebody else. And when you are a mother, when you are a wife or a husband, or when you have children, or you're taking care of someone, or you're taking care of your animal children, there are people, there are beings in this world that depend on you. And so you have to be able to fill yourself up too. And if that means that you have to course correct your thoughts or ask for help, or honestly, I'm a huge proponent of exercise. Whatever that is, get your blood pumping that will clear your head. Whether it's just a 20 minute walk down the street. It doesn't matter. Just move, dance. I mean, Catherine, I love to dance in my living room. Like it's so fun. You know? You've done so many times before and you've moved me because I'm being really strict with us here. So we've got five minutes left. You have taken the words right out of my mind because in terms of solutions for people, I am so there with you. Exercise. Now, even if you can't move, if you're in the current state of your physical body is at the moment that you can't move, but you can exercise through your breath. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Before you go to your tool. Absolutely. There was a story a few years ago where a girl who practices in the Ashtanga lineage that I practiced and got into a terrible accident and she was hospitalized in a bed with full body cast. And of course, couldn't do her practice, but you know what she did every day? She laid on her bed and she breathed herself mentally through her practice. She went through every single posture, the inhale, the exhale she saw in her head and it upped her recovery time. So yes, you can bring yourself to that place of movement in your mind with your breath if your body can't move. There is a way to do that too. And if anybody has questions about that, you can always email me too and I'll walk you through that. But yes, and it doesn't an exercise again, exercise doesn't have to be some like two hour like lifting class. Go dance in your living room. Go walk. Go get outside nature. Go ride a horse. Go walk your dog. I have so much fun walking. Now that my dog is on Catherine's diet, he's a lot easier to walk now. So, you know, and go, go, go commune with nature, you know, go, go be animals. They're good at, they're good at keeping you in the moment, you know, so, so there's always a solution. You just got to find what works for you. What you have. An experiment and have fun with it and try things that don't work out and try telling yourself that your body can do different things as well. And it can literally, it can be planting vegetables. You might be living in some parts of the world where we're coming into the planting season. The sun's come out for the first time in ages today. So what we were saying, you know, by today, I mean, Bice and I were just having a fun session with our crystals before we start filming. And for me, now I know whatever tool you're doing, you're tapping into yourself. But for me, focusing on this is a really good way of getting me out of my headspace and being more effective. Exactly. I mean, I play with this all day. This is a board you can use with your pendulum and you can talk to your higher self, which is what I do. Listen, my higher self, she's really cool. She's super laid back, very opposite of me. But, and you always ask if this is for my highest good, yes, and then you can talk to yourself and yourself will give you really good advice and will tell you like, I love you. Will tell you like, you're gonna be fine. Just breathe. That was one thing, one of mine said, just breathe. And I was like, how funny is that? They're telling me to breathe. I'm a yoga teacher. But you know, yeah, it's awesome and it gives you a focal point for sure. I'm glad you brought that up, Catherine, because yes. Yeah, and it's fun too. It's fun and you can do it with friends, Catherine, right together, yeah. Yeah, and you know, then connecting with like-minded people. So you know, problem shared is a problem. So if you're finding you're too caught in your thoughts, then find someone to share it with. I'm always sharing my problems with Bryce and it's just fantastic. And I love all her advice because I know it's all coming from a heart space. So, you know, we've all got that special someone wherever they are in the world. And you know, if Bryce isn't available, then I'll go and ask my trees, you know. So I hope you have fun with this. Yeah, carry on. Just saying before we leave, I channeled Ravi, my dog's higher self because I wanted to see how he's feeling with Catherine's new diet. And he called me mommy and I have to tell people, Catherine, that Ravi is very attracted to Catherine. He knows she's one of his soulmates because they were in a pack together in a past life. And I feel that because I 100% know we have been. And you know, sometimes you just know, and it doesn't matter how mad anyone else is. I was listening to the David Ike interview yesterday and I on London, where I've spoken about it before and I would just say, look guys, you know, you get to a certain stage where you really let go of having to satisfy other people's impressions from you. So today, you know, our little video today, I hope you've enjoyed it. Please do let us know whether you like this format or not. And we can obviously improve it and take on board your comments. But you know, you are not your thoughts and find ways to have fun with working through that. Yeah, for sure. And let us know what you're doing. What are you, yeah, absolutely, yeah. We're so open to new ideas. We're always trying out new things and everything. So we love to hear what works for everyone. And when you share your comments, there'll be someone else in the comments thinks, oh, that's fantastic. I can do that. I can give that a go. Well, that really sounds like a good idea to me, sort of thing. So yeah, we can't wait to hear what works for you. And please share, share, share, because sharing is caring. How cheesy is that? Thanks so much, guys. Till next time, everyone. Thank you, everyone. Have fun. Have a great day.
