 Hello, everybody. Welcome to a very special bonus episode of Esoteric Atlanta. Normally on this channel, if you're new to this channel, we normally do stories, French stories and weird topics that you don't see on other channels. But today, we have our second live interview with one of my friends, Cindy, who I've had the pleasure of knowing for like six, seven years now. And Cindy, in my opinion, is a spiritual guru. I don't know if she would call herself that, but I think she is. Cindy, the spiritual life definitely picked her because of her lineage. And Cindy is a yoga teacher, but she's so much more than a yoga teacher. For those who know a little bit about my background from this channel, I am trained in one particular lineage of yoga or spiritual theory, whereas Cindy is kind of the master of all traits. And she can combine a lot of different schools and different thoughts into one comprehensive outlook on the world around us and this matrix that our spiritual beings find ourselves in. And as we enter into this new timeline with the age of Aquarius, I know a lot of people are starting to realize that we are so much more than we thought we were in the age of Pisces. And so welcome, Cindy, to Esoteric Atlanta. Thank you for having me. I can't believe it's been six years already. But it keeps Martin on. So Cindy, Peruvian American, and she has her, obviously her roots in Peru. And also aren't you a little Irish too? Don't you have a little bit of Irish in you as well? I'm like, yeah, can't you tell? It's like maybe 2% or 3% or something like that. It's not a whole lot. When I got my DNA test back, I was like, what, Irish? Okay. Well, Ireland is such a very magical place as well. And so I was like, well, that makes sense. She's Peruvian and Irish. There you go. It's like the perfect combination. So why don't you tell people a little bit about your background? And I know you come from a really cool lineage. And so of Peruvian women, especially. So give our audience a little bit about you. Well, I was born in Peru. There's my cat in the background. Knew something good was going on over here. He's like, hmm, I'm checking this out. I was born in Peru, but I came here to America when I was about three and a half to four years old. And so I was pretty much raised in America. But I go back to visit Peru pretty frequently. I still have a lot of family there. And I was born in Lima in the city of Peru. But I have a lot of that Andean American tradition within my heritage, within my blood. And also being from Peru, since they were conquered by the Spaniards and all that stuff, there's a lot of Portugal and Spain. And kind of that part that comes in as well, which I also feel, I feel at that Portugal, Spain, France, Southern Europe influence. We were talking before about Mary Magdalene. And that's kind of where she lived and where she came from. And I feel a certain connection to her just from that part of my own background. So basically, I feel like I'm just like this big melting pot of places and lineages and the heritage is that, you know, most of all, within my bloodline is that the Andean tradition. And I started exploring those shamanic roots more, like more actively, probably around my late 20s. Because see, I grew up Catholic, like any good Peruvian, Latina American. So Catholic is what I grew up and, you know, all the way up through high school. And it was when I entered college, when I started to explore other different things. And that's also where, you know, I started to first feel that connection with like the Mother Mary. And of course, Mary Magdalene, there is well, even though of course, you know, she's talked about in a different kind of way within the Catholic tradition. So I have this utter fascination still to this day with big old churches and the old graveyards. So there's some of that that's we've done as well. And then my, I started yoga also, going on that path probably around my late 20s. And I started more with, and I think it was important to get anchored in, you know, traditional yoga is very much anchored in light, golden light in the stention and higher consciousness and all these things. And I think that that was an important base and an important anchor for me to have. And for me to continue to have, especially as you start to explore all the other different like realms and more colorful realms of like shamanism or the path of the goddess or the red path or, or any of the more colorful paths, because they can be very distracting to the ego. Let's put it that way. So to be able to have something like a, like a base in yoga to come back to and remember, okay, you know, I need, why I'm doing this and why I'm here so that when you go off into exploring all the other different realms, especially when you're talking about us going into the age of Aquarius and how people are now interested, I mean, they want to explore all these other different, and the thing is, I think it's more available to us now than it used to be. That's a lot more available. Like when I started off, I had to look through the yellow pages just to find a yoga class. And now, you know what I mean? I mean, I really did. And so now we're in this age of so much information being out there and some of it's good. And then, you know, you start to go into these other, other thoughts, you know, other ways of thinking or ways of believing. And you don't always know what where it's going to lead. If it is this, this is good, is bad. And in other words, just there's so much information available out there this day that, you know, I think it takes a certain amount of discernment to recognize, all right, this is, this is okay. This is good. Maybe this isn't so great. And the age of Aquarius, I think is definitely we're going into it with so much information. Yeah, it's really quite, I mean, I've noticed that on this channel a lot, whenever, because I've talked to you, we've talked about the missing gospels, just, just the two of us and after class or something. And I've, we've been discussing that here on this channel a lot. And it's amazing how, you know, after when the, those gospels were written around the time right after Jesus died, the Mary's Gospel, Thomas's Gospels, Philip Gospel, and they all kind of got banned and lost these real inner knowing or gnosis, very spiritual tantric, as we talked about on Sunday, at the last Sunday at your studio, that they were taken away during the age of Pisces. And as we turn the corner now into a new timeline, all this stuff is coming back up again. It's like the earth, earth kind of vomited it back up again from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Kamadi Library, all this stuff was being rediscovered, these ancient teachings that people want to label as new age, but they're not new, they've been around for so long, and we're only now rediscovering it. And I think too, because you, Cindy's also like a shamanistic healer too, on top of teaching yoga. And I've had a session with you before, you're a very, very powerful healer, and you, you, you could read things and you, it's just incredible what you do. And you can definitely tell that that's something that you inherited as well as studied for yourself. There's like this magic ingredients in you. There's these elements that create, like I said, the spiritual life picked you. I don't know if you picked the spiritual life, it kind of picked you. And, and I think as we enter into the age of Aquarius, people are going to be looking more, we're realizing now that we can't just put band-aids on top of things that we have to actively be involved in our own healing to find that inner balance. And I would love for you to speak more on that as well, because you are very powerful when it comes to assisting people in their own journey inward into their own healing. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Well, I mean, we all have access to a certain amount of energy and power, because we're all, you know, I truly do believe that we're all truly powerful, sovereign beings. And we're just like these fractals of the universe. And we contain everything that we need. And it's just a matter of going in there and truly accessing it. And I feel that even just as a healer, an energy healer, that that's that's part of what I try to help people with too, is just being able to lift the veils of misinformation or miscomprehension that they might have about themselves. Yes, you know, coming out of the age of Pisces, when the veil was really, really thick. And for us to be just covered up in misbeliefs, you know, those old holding patterns and belief systems that are old. I mean, they're old and they're ancient. When I do this healing kind of a work, it's not just that you're healing within this lifetime, but it's also you're healing within past lifetimes and whatever you hold inside of you that was passed down from your ancestors. And I feel like right now we're really stepping into not only healing for ourselves, but healing for our ancestors, the ones that have come before us. And that, like, for instance, you know, like the women or the witch wounds, you know, the witches who were who were tortured and buried alive and thrown in wells and and all these things. And being able to to lift that, especially in people who are interested in this kind of stuff. Because I feel I still till this day feel a little protective of it. Right. Okay, who am I going to talk to about this because there's there's still a sense of that inside of me. Okay, it's like how how are people going to receive this without it being, you know, being people coming at you with the with the with the stakes and everything like this. In other words, that is very much still in people. And I think part of the those who are interested into in this kind of work, we're having to move past all of the misinformation and all of that trauma. And as a healer, that's part of what I do as well. Yeah, I am. I feel you know, this is partly from my lineage to more of a like I work within the realms of the shadow for people. In other words, I can help people drop into that subconscious space within side of them that holds on this old trauma. For those that might not quite understand what the shadow is. I know a lot of people that like myself who worked with our own shadow, we understand what that is. But for those who are completely new to this type of spiritual healing, can you give like a layman's explanation of what somebody's shadow would be? It's basically whatever we put down in the subconscious and we chose to forget. That is the realm of the shadow. I think Paul Young is the one who coined the term the shadow. And it's, you know, it's a big part of psychological work and psychological studies as well. But I also believe that we store that within our bodies. So part of what I'm able to do is access it within somebody's bodies, the body holds and contains everything that we've ever experienced in within this lifetime or other lifetimes. And we also hold the patterns of our ancestors, the people who came before us and all that stuff. So we are, if you will, like an Akashic record of our own history and the history of our ancestors and our relatives. So with that, I can work through the body and very often access to the places where, and usually what'll happen if we disassociate parts and we fragment ourselves and we put them into this shadowy realm. And it's usually, again, things like trauma or things that, you know, perhaps we've just chosen to forget, aspects of ourselves that we decided were inappropriate. You know, I can't show this, this is inappropriate. I'm going to be highly judged by this. So we fragment ourselves. But it doesn't completely just go away, even though we would love sometimes perhaps for that thing just to completely disappear and go away. It never does. It stores still within you. So it's a matter of being able to go in and find where we've hidden those places within ourselves and then to reintegrate it so that you can become a whole again. So the purpose is to be able to delve within where we've hidden and all those crevices within our minds and our bodies and our hearts and in our energetic space and pull them back up and integrate it within yourself again and becoming whole. That's the purpose behind it. And of course, all that stuff also, it causes physical pain, which is one of the first telltale signs that there's something going on that's out of alignment within yourself. So, I mean, the body, as you know, through your practice of yoga, it's an amazing, it's an amazing thing. It's an amazing creation that we have. It's a DPS. It's our modern. Yes. Yes. And you're right. Because I know from my study of yoga, we have three karmas that we're always working through. And for those who are new, karma basically is just your work. It's just cause and effect. That's all it is. And we have our own personal karma stuff that we have to work through in this life and stuff from our past lives. We also have our ancestral karma that we're cleaning up. And we also have our collective karma, the greater consciousness of the earth, which right now again, we're all going through that moving from the age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius, where it just, the door doesn't just open and all of a sudden you're at it. It's like we're going through that birth canal right now, which is why things are so hectic and crazy is because the matrix as we know it is shifting and we're being born anew. I saw today that there's like seven planets in Aquarius right now. And the last time that this happened, astrologically, we were leaving the Dark Ages. The plague was ending and we were entering into the Renaissance. So if that gives you guys any type of idea looking back, of course, well, we might have been there in that time, but as a different identity. So that gives you any idea of like what we're moving into, we're moving into a beautiful time. But man, going through that birth canal can be very painful. And a lot of times spiritual work is painful. It takes a lot, you can't go around the hard stuff, you got to go through it. And I know because Cindy is a her classes are awesome. Cindy's always in my classes on Sunday. I love it. But she's also an incredible yoga teacher and explained to people like when you teach, when we talk about how the body holds information and can give us that information of what we're holding back, can you explain like what is a common pain you see as a teacher or as a healer, you know, what part of the body and what is it typically like if someone has a shoulder pain, that there is no injury? Is there a certain spot in the body that can correlate to a different type of like energetic thought like sorrow or anger? Or is it different for different people? What have you experienced as a healer and as a teacher? Well, one, it does depend to what side of the shoulder is, as you know, the left side of the body is considered the more feminine side and the right side is the more masculine side. So the side of the shoulder that you're experiencing the pain that can make a difference. And, you know, a lot of times shoulder stuff is also directly related to what's going on here in the heart area. And that is a big point. There's two main places that I often find people have stuff going on. It's usually in the heart, because that's usually it's the most powerful part of us, but it's also the most vulnerable and it's the one that we protect. And then the throat, the throat is huge. Most people have things going on and you're about being able to communicate or, you know, express themselves or be authentic and express their truth and all that stuff. So if the heart is in protective mode and if our throat is in protective mode, we go into this way of holding ourselves in our bodies and then people start to get things like frozen shoulders or sense of their shoulders aren't aligned well. If they start to reach around and do things, let's say with shoulders hunched over like this, then you can start to create things like rotator cuffed tears and things like that. But so shoulders are often related to the throat and the heart. And another place is very much like the womb and the root area. The sacral area and the root area of the body are also to, because we know the hips, obviously they can hold a lot. It's a big huge joint and it holds all of, it holds a lot of shame and even some guilt. Guilt also comes up here into your core, but shame especially and a feeling of not being safe. That very much carries through in the hip area, in the legs, in the knees. So if you're, you're in general are not feeling very safe or very secure or always feeling kind of like this existential dread, like you don't belong here, which is a common thing among, you know, folks who experience this thing, you just don't feel like you belong here, you know, belong on this planet. Like those kind of things, but that like carries through into the legs is when you feel like you're always having to escape. So, and then of course in the womb area is, and I'm talking about, you know, for both men and women being able to express emotions. We don't know how to express emotions very well here in the West. I think we're just now starting to figure out, but I mean, we just don't know how. We don't know how to, to, to have good conversations about, about our emotions because they're always, you know, as a child, if you, you cry too much, you're too angry or you're emotional, then, then you need to shut that, like shut that down. I can't handle it. Right. You know, the technology can't handle it. Yeah. And so, so that area, the womb area, the sacral area are also very common places to hold stuff. Yeah. It's interesting. I've heard the other day, another teacher I was listening to, you know, I think both of us in our free time probably are kind of nerds and we'll go and research other, you know, here other people talk about this stuff because it's so fascinating. And when you do teach it, you always want to stay up on information, but I heard someone say people will sometimes get like a tight jaw because it's like they're taking stuff on the chin. They're not communicating and they don't feel like they just got to like take it. And so you see like the locked jaw is coming, not necessarily from clenching down the mouth, not to speak, but like you're actually taking a beating because you don't feel like you can stand up for yourself. And I think that for men and women, but no women, especially throughout the ages, as they've talked about, have been shut down a lot. And we're having to now work through that and come into a new world. And, you know, with the missing Gospels, we've been looking at the gospel of the Holy 12. And Jesus in that gospel doesn't say God the Father. He says, my father, mother, he always includes that feminine energy in that source that we call God is not just masculine, but is also feminine as well. And that joint balance of father, mother, in that, in that. And I think for men, too, the sensitiveness, not being able to express emotion, because men also carry feminine energy as well, and not being able to express that. Right. And so, yeah, you're right. It comes out in both men and women. And again, that's one of the hardest things about going down a spiritual path is having to actually go down the path to open up pandas and look through all of this stuff. If somebody were to come to you and say, like, I really want to start a spiritual practice, what would your advice be to them? Would you tell them to dive in at first? Or would you tell them to, like, start doing yoga classes first and slowly integrate into it? What would your advice be to someone, a beginner? I would say probably, you know, yoga is always a good place to start. But then to also just really pay attention to, because there's so many different paths that are out there, and certain ones are going to hit home to certain people better than it is other. Like, yoga works for some people, but yoga doesn't work for everybody. So it's also a matter of being able to really tune in and pay attention to see what kind of things that you're attracted to. But I would say, you know, definitely start just by paying attention. You know, first and foremost, just paying attention to yourself and paying attention to just really becoming embodied again. I would say that that would be step number one is to really in yoga is a way to do that. But to come back down into your body and to not be afraid to look at what's here. It's like you're you talk about we have to go through it. So anything that you can do to bring you back down into this space, that instead of just being in your head and worrying or anxiety or whatever that goes on here, anything that's going to bring you back into yourself and into your body, it's a it's a great way to start. You hear often, sometimes people who start a practice like yoga because it's the awesome of practice anyways, it's a physical practice. And they come in because they want to, you know, tone their glutes or they want awesome abs or they want like these great biceps and they want to look cute in their jeans and then their bathing suits. And I say, you know, that's a great place to start because what that will do is it'll bring you back in body. Yeah. And then once you get into your body that way, then then things will begin to reveal itself. Beyond the glutes and in this sitting into your skinny jeans and all that. Yeah, totally. Totally. Vanity pills sometimes. Well, that's why the old days in India, they would, you see these old reels and pictures of like Krishmacharya, Iyengarh, Pratapya Joyce out there in the public doing these crazy asanas, these beautiful, and us for those don't know, asana means posture, the yoga posture that you see on the, you know, it's on Instagram today as we, they didn't have Instagram then, but it was because they were trying to attract people into their yoga school by luring to their vanity. Being like, I do that. I want to put my leg behind my head like that. And so that would lure them into this yoga school to start this journey that they would actually use the vanity of ego to get. Yeah, trick. You have to like trick the ego sometimes. You got to find a way to go through it. Sometimes the ego is so in the forefront that you got to kind of trick it. To pull the rest and pull along like a leash. I know. Yeah. And now we have Instagram. So you see it everywhere, which sometimes could be a bad thing. And I always tell students like, listen, anybody can look good for an Instagram picture. When you see somebody really practice through their full practice, that's where you see all the mistakes and you see all the, um, the heaviness a person can carry within themselves. And that as a teacher, I know, and you probably know this too, you do see people come in, they might appear to have a beautiful practice, but you can see the heaviness inside of them. You can see them actually working through stuff that they're not even, maybe even aware of at that time. And it's, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing. And Cindy, you're also into ballet and you got me into doing ballet skills as well to help my practice. How has ballet inspired you or helped you along? How has that type of movement helped you in your spiritual journey or helped each other people along their spiritual journey? Well, I love the fluidity of dance, the fluidity of movement within the body. And it goes very much along with, um, like this goddess path that we're talking about too. Like the goddess path is, you know, often considered the, it depends on who you talk to, but it can be considered like the left-hand path or the, the poison path because, but, um, in a good way, a good kind of poison. Um, or because it's so quick, it acts so quick because it is a practice of being in body where as let's say you, you do something that's, you know, like more traditional or like a more traditional yoga practice, like a traditional, uh, Buddhist practice that depends, depends on what lineage of Buddhism you follow. But sometimes that's about transcending the body. Like the body can be something that gets in the way. Like the, the body is, um, it's, it can be distracting. Your desires are distracting. And there's a good point to that because there's, there's, it's always a matter of balance. Um, so that's kind of more, but that's also more like the patriarchy path and it's a, it's a path of ascension. Well, the goddess path is more of a passive decension. It's working through the body to be able to find your, your peace or your awakening or your enlightenment. So in other words, the body is not something that you need to transcend. The body is something that you can work through to be able to, to find, um, find that wholeness in that we're, that we're talking about. And yeah, so that's also, it can be considered like a dangerous path because once you start to, to, to go there, you can be easily distracted. All right. That's why it's also considered kind of the poison path. And if you think about it, like for instance, um, giving birth, like giving, uh, like actually giving physical birth, like a woman who gives physical birth, it can be a moment of complete transcendence, a very primal, very like, um, intuitive moment that can awaken so many things inside of you, but it's also bloody and there's a good chance of death. That's, that's like the poison path, you know what I mean? Fire beware. Um, it's quick in the way it works. So the doses, you have to make sure that you take it within the, the right doses. That's important. Right. That's a really good advice. You know, back to like ballet and stuff. It just feels very, like, like a way of just coming back and understanding and getting the feeling, getting to, to know the body and what's being held in there and the fluidity and the music and it's, it's sensual. There's a sensuality to it. Absolutely. So when somebody comes to your yoga classes, say they do, uh, Cindy, we're also just for you guys to know, I'm going to put all the links to Cindy's social media. I'm going to put the website up to her yoga school in Marietta, Marietta is in the greater Atlanta area. It's a suburb of Atlanta. And Cindy also offers with her classes with all of her teachers. Um, besides my class, I think my class is the only one that doesn't have a zoom option, but, um, cause I like to get in there and adjust people, but, um, there's a zoom option for people because I know I have people from all over the world watching right now. And we got, we have, we have community members all over Europe and Asia and Australia. And so if, um, you guys want to practice with Cindy, you can go to the website and you can actually log on to her zoom classes and she'll see you on the screen and she'll see you there. Now of course we are in the Eastern time zone. So make sure that you, you check that before you sign into her class because it will be a different time than your time. If you're not on our time zone, but if someone were to sign up for one of your classes, what would they get, what would they expect from your classes? What, what should they expect if it's an intermediate class or beginner class or all levels class? Like how, how do you typically set up your classes for people? There usually is a theme that we started. I usually have a theme for the week. What has been my theme this week? I can't even think about it right now. But there is usually a theme that we're working toward and then, uh, like a heart theme. And the practice usually revolves around that somehow, some way. So if, let, let, let's say we are focusing on, on the heart, opening the heart, then we might be more emphasized on back bends or, you know, opening up the chest. And I'm also, I love alignment. Um, and I love teaching alignment. And that's, uh, that's the way I was trained through yoga. And it was very therapeutic for my own body to understand that. So there'll be alignment based on, I'm also, um, more like my classes aren't in the restorative classes or the gentle classes, which is, I mean, there's nothing wrong with, I mean, we do have at the studio other teachers who teach the more restorative and gentle classes, nothing wrong with that at all whatsoever, but you won't get that in my class. You know, in my class, you're going to sweat and get into the new class. Yeah. I like to focus on strength in particular, particularly, you know, I think it's really important that we become stable and feel strong and empowered and sovereign in our bodies first. Um, and trying to establish that, uh, within just with it. Cause when you physically feel that way, it affects you on every level mentally, emotionally, absolutely. And I am going to, I'll tell you guys, though, if you, I'm going to put Cindy social media down below as well. And you do put on your social media every week, you put what theme you're working through students. And so you can, if you follow Cindy on her social media accounts, you'll be able to see, it's like she constantly is keeping the homework going for you. So that the work you do in the class with her doesn't just stay in the class, but you can actually use that and take that out into your life and continue to work on that, that area that she has given you as the teacher. Now, for your, um, healing sessions that are separate from, um, from the yoga, people can also contact you from elsewhere as well. Right. Yes. I mean, that is my true specialty. Because it is, it is such a mishmash of everything that, that as, as a yoga teacher, um, as a, a Reiki master, um, I don't know if you know this or not, but I was also certified hit in the therapist for a little while. I'm not certified anymore, but I was trained in that. And in the, um, my, the, my teacher who did that, he was very woo woo. And as part of that program, he also taught us how to like release entities from people and force, you know, the things that can get attached to people. So it's a combination of that. And also, of course, the shaman is the shamanistic aspect is really comes through. So, um, usually with the, you'd be surprised if I bring out a rattle or feather and crystals and stones and so it's a, it's really even hard to just like on the page, it's like a soul alchemy kind of Reiki session, but it's not really, it's just a combination of everything that I've learned and put together. So it's just a highly intuitive process that just goes in, you know, we go in and just delve in and um, I do, uh, do them online. I mean, mostly I have the yoga studio space. So most of the time I do them in person. I'm a feeler and a knower. So even if I'm watching you on screen, it's a, it's a matter of, you know, like me still trying to like feel in to your, to your, to your space to see like where, where the things are, what, what's going on in there. And then being able to excavate it and dig it out. But I mean, I do feel like that, that is my truest specialty than probably more of my higher calling. And I will say, cause you've, you've done a session with me before and it's, it's, it's magical and intense at the same time. And she does, Cindy does pull out everything. And it's one of the most incredible experiences you'll ever have. You might be a little exhausted afterwards. Um, but that's formal. That's good because you've, even though she's the one performing the ritual on you, you're the one doing the work, whether you realize it or not. Absolutely. You have to do the work. That's the only way it would work. If it was me pulling the stuff out of you, then it wouldn't last. But that's not the way things are supposed to be done. I don't feel anyways, you know, for something to really take in the last, you've got to do it yourself. Oh, for sure. For sure. And something fun will end on because I know a lot of my, my, my people who watch this channel, we were all a little weird. And I think Cindy would proudly fit in that, in that group with us. We talk a lot about aliens about extraterrestrials and how a lot of people have DNA that's mixed in with some ET DNA. And you've told me that you can kind of see that on people. Do you want to get into that a little bit? Well, I was doing in July was when the landscape portal opened. I felt this strong calling to do light body activations on people. And I've never done such a thing before. It was just like, okay, just go out and start doing them. I'm like, okay, let's see what this makes us. And especially then, you could see where certain, like certain people are, in other words, your tribe, it could, there were so many that were from the alien realm. Some were from the fae realm. Some were just like very like earthy. Some were from like the Egyptian and the Atlantean realm, which Atlantean often times go back to aliens anyways. But it's amazing how many different things are out there. And they're, and some of them are very beautiful. I mean, the ones where they're your guides, I mean, they're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful energies that are out there. And then how a lot of the things that are here on earth are a reflection of things that are out in the cosmic world. Like in other words, there's certain, for instance, like certain insect beings that are just reflection of these alien insect beings that are out there. As above. Exactly. So there's a lot of things like that that you begin to see and realize how big the world, not the world, but how big the universe, the multiverse actually is. And we're just like little tiny little things. Yeah. Yeah. You've actually talked about multiverses on this channel as well, too, like all these different things that we, and this is all coming with the age of Aquarius where we're going to have to like unlearn some things and relearn them the way that the truth actually is. And the truth is often stranger than fiction. So that's why it's so fun. So again, what days do you teach, Cindy, at Sacred Garden? What are your days? For yoga, I teach on Monday nights at 5.30. Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. These are Eastern Standard and Fridays at 5.30 and then that's Saturday at 10 a.m. And you run courses as well for yoga, but you also run courses for this. I also have, with a friend of mine, we run a mystery school where we go into the realms of, like the first part of the mystery school, we call it initiation. And that's where we go into the realm of the earth and studying the elements of the earth, like, you know, fire, water, earth and air. And we spend a good amount of time like that. That first part is just about getting acquainted with the earth. Then the second part of the course is called calibration. Calibration. Then we go out into the cosmic forces with the seven main planetary influences that are out there. And again, as above so below, they're just a reflection of you, like the energy of the sun is a representation of your own light and radiance that's in you. And you can use the sun, like if you forgot, because we forget. That's why all this is here, is to help us to remember. So if you forget, the sun, if you like reconnect with the sun in this kind of a way and start to embody and bring in the energy of the sun, it will awaken that part of you again. And so, but there's all these other, you know, the other planets that are out there as well. And again, it's just another tool and another resource for you to use to help to awaken and to help for you to remember who you really are, that you're not going through this process alone. You have so much out here and within to take you to guide you through. You don't have to go through any of it alone. And we are just spiritual beings having a human experience instead of human beings. Yeah, we are our essence. I actually read this morning, somebody posted, if we could just remember that our main job is spiritual and not human, it would change the way we live. We all live our lives, you know, that spirituality isn't just church on Sundays or the yoga class once a week, it's a 24 hour seven day a week being that we're in and we're just here as humans to learn more lessons. And I think I do personally believe that as we enter the age of Aquarius, we are shifting into more understanding that about ourselves and that we're not what our ancestors maybe thought we were. We're more than that. We're transcending to what we really are capable of as spiritual beings and not just a human body with a deadline that we got to get to know. So that is like the realm of magic like true magic is being able to create these relationships with these unseen forces or forces that we normally don't pay attention to and recognize how again how vast we actually are. And when we do get caught up in our silly little problems and our own little matrix that we created, and then you kind of look bigger and beyond, you're like, wow, that that is kind of a silly little problem. You get on an airplane and you look down at the earth from below. Well, you're like, wow, that's so small, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it's just exactly. You're right. Yeah, exactly. And I think that's part of it is that recognizing the things that really don't matter as much or they don't need to. But we make such a big deal, a big fuss out of things that aren't that aren't worth our attention. Right. And that's what we're here to do, too, is to help to break those old chains, old habit or those old ways of thinking or perceiving that old framework of being that old framework, that Piscian old framework, breaking it down on some of this new new way. Yeah, absolutely. It's exciting. And this new thing that's emerging, we don't even know what that looks like yet, you know. And I think that's why people are terrified, too, because we've talked about that before. We see it in yoga all the time. It's like human beings, we would rather sometimes be stuck in trauma that we recognize instead of moving to something better that we don't recognize. Heck yeah, that's probably 80% of the population. Yeah. At least. Yes. We would just rather stay in that awful place, but we know the audience. We know it. Then move into something that we don't know, but could be beautiful. That's the samskara. That's what we have to keep repeating. Stuff over and over and over again. And for people who don't understand that, it's like how many times in your life have you had to go through the same mistake before you actually realize you're in control and you can stop that habit? You can stop that. So that's kind of the more layman term of what samskara actually is. So Cindy, you are a sacred garden yoga. She's her yoga studio. Again, that's in Marietta. And with Cindy's permission, I have, we taped her practicing in my class last Sunday. It's on time lapse. I was going to put that at the end of this video. So people, if that's okay with you. So people kind of see the studio. It's beautiful studio. She has great teachers. All the teachers there are all almost specialized in a different theory of yoga. I'm a strong guy. You have I ain guard. You have on usara. There's different forms of yoga at her school at her yoga school, which is why I call it a yoga school because there's different teachers. And again, you guys can look on the website and you can join any of her teachers classes too. If you see a restorative class you want to take. If you have questions for Cindy, I guess info at sacred garden yoga.com is the email. Yeah, absolutely. I have my own personal website too. It's Cindy Ola, Cindy Ola.com, I think. And it's on the sacred garden yoga website too, but it also goes in to explain some of the other things like the energy work and the energy healings and the mystery school and all that other realm as well. Awesome. And yes, and if you have questions about if you've never done yoga before and you want to talk to Cindy, I'm sure they can email you as well and ask you what classes would be better for people. And her yoga school is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful for your in the Atlanta area. I would highly suggest looking at the schedule and stopping by and taking a class. Give Cindy a follow on social media. Again, even if you just follow her, you'll learn so much from her post and it'll give you a good starting place to start doing your self investigation over the topics that she brings up and talks about. And is there anything you want to add that we didn't cover? No, I think that's good. I would say, well, if you're in the Atlanta area, you have to check out Bryce's classes too. Don't forget about yourself. Just be aware. My class, so for those who don't know, the ashtanga method that I teach, the asana, the sequence of asana or postures that I teach, I don't create. It's a set series that all ashtanga people teach all around the world. And so with that being said, it's very different from what you might find in another class where the teacher kind of has the freedom to be creative and work through different things. And ashtanga does have the reputation of being kind of brutal. But Cindy's a tough sport. She comes every Sunday religiously and she has got a beautiful strong practice. Everybody, all my students at Sacred Garden have very strong, beautiful, beautiful practices and all the teachers there. It's a very warm and welcoming yoga school and everybody there is just really trying to work on themselves. And so all, all levels are welcome and wanted at that yoga school. So, so please make sure you check that out. And I guess, yeah. So thank you so much, Cindy. This is awesome. We'll have to do this again, perhaps with your partner that you do the mystery school with. Maybe we can set up another interview and do with her as well. And Yeah. Yeah, so much to talk about all the time. Yeah. I think I'm so glad that you're doing a channel like this, because I mean, there's just so much out there, so much to talk about. We're just going straight into this new, this new age, Rom Doss, who is a, I know, Cindy knows Rom Doss for those who don't know of him. He was a great spiritual teacher. He passed away right before the fun began. He passed away in 2019, but he used to say, we're all just walking each other home. We're all just walking each other home. And that's one thing that I'm glad we're kind of leaving this world of dogmatic religion that divides people. And as we've said on this channel, even the, and as Cindy and I have spoken about, even I grew up Protestant, she grew up Catholic, even within the Christian faith, when we look back at the missing Gospels, we see that Christianity itself was not divisive like it is now. It was very much about gnosis or inner knowledge and self-work and that light inside of us that they call themselves the sons of light, the Essenes that obviously moved off to different lineages. And now we're coming home to that where we're unifying and we're going into this brave new world, all walking each other home together. So yes, if you guys are interested, please contact Cindy. You also are welcome to contact me if you have questions. And thank you so much, Cindy. Tell your husband and your son. I said, hello. Her son is an awesome piano player. I see the piano right here. Very, very talented. You can tell Cindy is his mother because he has the flair for the talent and she's constantly posting videos. So and yeah, we'll have you back. We'll have you back on the show. And we'll do it anytime, anytime. And I will see you Sunday tomorrow. And in my class, yes. For Ash Tonga. So all right. Well, thank you guys so much. And Cindy, I will talk to you soon. All right. Thank you. Bye.
